Have a light? It's best not to keep the Boss @bittlestoon.bsky.social waiting. #bittlesart #fanart #vtuberfanart #artstarch #digitalart #potato #vtuber #uncletots 🥔✨

Sometimes, for some vtubers, it's a never ending balance of doing what's popular versus what you're comfortable with. It's okay to maintain your principles! Your comfort should always come before content! Never feel like you're less for doing what's best for you.

In light of Tenko creating an alt (and not even *bothering* to hide it), here's your reminder of the smear accusations she tried leveling against me (then deleted when called out on it). And here's the alt in question. Block and report. bsky.app/profile/taki...

See those blank, empty rectangles? This is why you should use alt text when possible! At least then *everyone* can enjoy your art, even if they can't see it well.

Because of what happened today... *Taps the sign aggressively*

all take this as a badge of honor seriously fuck gen ai and fuck ai data centers killing the environment

“How do I look, toots…?”

You should. People with impaired vision use tools which translate pictures / gifs into text readout. Alt text makes it so that these tools have a clear and accurate assessment rather then just kinda guessing it or saying 'a picture is posted.' We wanna be accommodating to everyone!

Only hot people include proper Alt Text in their images.

I will never get folks who are willing to bother people when the people in question clearly want them to leave them alone, especially if they claim to dislike said people. If you don't like them why are you bothering them then?! If they're not hurting anyone and are minding their own then fuck off!

Brother not TenkoBerry making an alt to defend themself on an 8 MONTH OLD POST 💀 GET A GRIP!!! YOUR WEIRD GRAMMAR/REPLY STYLE IS THE EXACT SAME AS IT IS ON YOUR MAIN!

I genuinely am still haunted by this whole thing. As I said, I very nearly walked away from being a VTuber because of these (now-deleted) accusations. I was genuinely triggered when Tenko found my personal account, and now I *know* she's trying to stalk the people who exposed her the first time.

Right wing 40k tourists getting their lore from YouTube shorts that open up with shit like "Did you know there's a Space Marine who's been fighting a one man war for a hundred thousand years? His name is Manlius Mann..."

sorry for asking for help but I need help buying groceries for this week, any amount will do but $50 is the goal reposts are appreciated 🩵 ko-fi.com/supanovaa #mutualaid

I need an evil woman in a suit to pin me to my seat with a hard look, then unbutton her jacket and blouse and make me suckle her tits with a demanding tone. I mean what,

GO WATCH MY GREEN HAIRED PUNK GODDESS

You know what no, I'm not arguing. Abolish prisons.

LRP On that note of fascists trying to make themselves gods of their own rules — it's another reason why age verification laws WON'T + DO NOT protect children. They were written from the ground up to give any authority enough vagueness to profile a queer person and then harass them out of society.

Sometimes AVGN jokes will just filter into my brain like this one and I end up dying of laughter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mWe...

Honestly, with a certain individual trying to crawl back out from the woodwork, I learned a very valuable lesson in dealing with her last year: people *will* take it very personally if you don't like them to an unhealthy and dangerous degree. It's important for us to learn that not everyone will-

THIS GAME IS MY VIBE

For ease of blocking: bsky.app/profile/taki...

I very nearly walked away from the VTubing space, at the time not even being able to stream yet partly because of tech issues, because of what TenkoBerry did. This was nearly 8-9 months ago. I just wish Tenko would just get the hint and go away.

Who was the dumbass that gave Tenko an invite code to MyOshi in the first place? People like her are why MyOshi is invite-only in the first place and folks were just giving away codes to people they don't even know.

Here's a refresher if y'all want to know what she did 8-9 months ago. Straight up accused one of my mutuals of being a pedophile, all because she was getting blocked by people. Anyway here's the link to her new account if you want to block her: bsky.app/profile/taki...

Tenko, the same person who tried to smear me as a pedophile, is trying to start shit again under her new account. Block and report.

Reminder: you can't be "comfy" or "safe" and *not* talk about and stand against the injustice and cruelty of the world.

This is a dance off. If you see this, repost with a dance or get eliminated.

welp, someone blocked me because i talked shit about OneyPlays, judging from their Linkara disparage. lol lmao even. Even better: apparently you're a "cancel vulture" if you dislike Smiling Friends. So, let me repeat: my space is not safe or welcome for OneyPlays fans. Get fucked, assholes.

This survey comes off as tone deaf at best, manipulative at worst "How do you feel about AI? We may use AI to analyze your answers so don't fill out if you don't like AI." So...only asking for people that are comfortable with AI to answer? I wonder what the answers will be like! Fuck off.

The fact that this, no exaggeration, has become so *normalized* - to the point that they have to specifically *deny* they have lingering issues - is DEEPLY concerning. If you believe beating children is "teaching them respect", you need to stay away from children and get some therapy.

Seriously, anyone who who sincerely believes corporal punishment should be inflicted on a child shouldn't be allowed within 3 miles of a kid. Complex PTSD doesn't make you "respect others," it deals intense, long-lasting psychological harm that can't be undone.

I cannot overstate that Jennifer Diane Reitz is important in regards to indie gaming and early internet fandom, and I admire her on those grounds. On the *other* hand...her infamous gender dysphoria test is VERY rooted in transmedicalist logic and is, at best, horrifically outdated; as well as-

The fact that The Onion has taken over InfoWars, *the* biggest contributor to the rise and proliferation of the alt-right, and intend to turn it into unabashed satire of what the site targets is fucking golden. This is the death knell for the alt-right. They have officially become the joke.

How VTubers can stream 4-5 days a week I have no fucking clue I am too low energy and chronically ill for that shit.

That is, re: forced marriages, it's usually motivated by either: - Inability to obtain a spouse the "normal" way (as is the case for societies in demographic crisis) - Cementing legitimacy by forcing women (or sometimes men) proximal to the royal line of a conquered people to marry their conqueror

Also, for clarity, what I'm asserting here re: worldbuilding: Including "sex slavery" in your world doesn't make it "darkly realistic", it's obviously just your personal sexual fantasy. It's not really a real thing.

Closest thing to the latter in actual history is enslaved people (esp. women) being forced into prostitution or people (esp. women) being forced into marriages The former was and is common anywhere slavery and prostitution coincide, the latter is usually motivated by legitimacy rather sexual desire

Basically I'm saying: Sexual violence against female (and often, male) slaves: Very common, horrifically so Women being captured and sold into slavery specifically to provide sexual services to a rich man: No, bad, this is the deranged cuckolding fantasy of European orientalists!

It's really a lot more common for enslaved women that are forced to labor as domestic servants to be sexually assaulted by their masters, than it is for women to be forced into slavery and sold for the explicit purpose of sexual services (And even in the latter case, it's usually as a wife)

This is another reason, actually, why I find "sex slavery" narratives often rather insulting - most sexual violence against enslaved women was against random women, put to work for other purposes, IN ADDITION to the brutality they otherwise faced The idea of pampered sex slaves is insulting!

Actually a QP to emphasize this: It's really important that certain specialist positions (army officers, bureaucrats, etc.) receive training and education from childhood Without public education, premodern societies usually had two options: hereditary positions, or specially-trained slaves.

Let's do another "historical anthropology applied to worldbuilding thread" Yes, I said no more threads, but there's something I promised to do a thread on a bit back: the subject of slavery, that most ubiquitous of crimes against humanity. Why do we do this to other human beings? Why so *often?*
