SO I had to use Gato's keychain merch as a reference for the shading and coloring, so I apologize if I fucked something up LMAO BUT YEAH THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M GENUINELY IMPRESSED!!! I figured if Gato was to remake the sprites for her new game, it would look a lot like this!
I was planning on editing different Strade's sprites like his emotions and the iconic hammer or drill pose for y'all to use it on your edits, but I'm already exhausted rn so enjoy for what it is rn LOL
Original sprite and character are from @gatobob
This. I have not seen ANY videos/pictures/media showing destroyed buildings in israel like I have seen in Palestine. We have seen Palestine being totally leveled: bombed hospitals, houses, schools, everything. But you know what I have not seen? The same in israel. And do not even try to say "oh khamas controls israels media!!!". How? Because thats makes you sound like an antivaxxer flatearther đź’€ so your opinion is automatically worthless and waste of space.
Like people make it sound like what happened on oct 7 was like The Rumbling yet I havent seen anything of that level. Yet you could think that it happened in Palestine because of all the evidence.
workout because its good for your heart, lungs, releases endorphins, and you want to get stronger. not because it’ll make you skinny or make your body look a certain way.
wear sunscreen every day in order to protect yourself from easily preventable and deadly skin cancer, not with the goal of preventing aging (there is nothing wrong with aging or wrinkles; it is a natural part of life and reflection of the life you live).
eat more vegetables because you need the fiber to make you more regular, they help lower your risk of eye and digestive problems, and they help in nutrient re-uptake. not because eating only carbs is “bad” for you. you need a combination of carbs, fruit/veg, protein, fiber, fat, etc for a full balanced diet.Â
cut out dairy from your diet if it makes you shit your brains out every single time without fail, not because it will “make you fat”.
drink more water because, despite how annoying it is to be told “just drink water”, it does actually make you feel better if you’re anxious or your head hurts or you don’t have any energy. not because it’ll “flush out your immune system uwu” or it will make your skin clear.
drink green tea because its delicious, not because it’s a “natural detox”. ( “detoxes” aren’t real. your kidneys detoxify your blood for you)
not everything “natural” is automatically healthy for you. not everything “unnatural” is automatically unhealthy/dangerous
cutting out whole food groups and labeling them as “bad for you” in any form is restrictive. if you aren’t allergic to gluten, you don’t need to cut gluten from your diet in order to be healthy. if you were not specifically instructed by a doctor to go keto in order to aid treatment for a disease (such as cancer or epilepsy), you do not and should not go keto.Â
do “healthy” things because you deserve to live a long, healthy life. yes, you. your weight doesn’t matter and it has never mattered. you deserve to keep yourself safe.Â

God, there's 180 members on the BTD fan group on Roblox, a game where most of the player base are YOUNG CHILDREN OR MINORS. I have noticed that many of the users in the group don't have ages in their bio nor have signs that they are adult aged. It can be safe to assume a lot of the players in the group are young teens. What if a young kid plays Roblox only to accidentally stumble upon a BTD RP game and find out about the source? Gato clearly doesn't want young MINORS to be involved in her works.
The popularity on BTD game RP is also concerning too. 150 likes and 21 dislikes. Now people would think this isn't huge or that popular, but when you compare it to a fanbase that is niche and smaller, you'd realize how ALARMING this is. And those screenshots? Those are the very few ones I chose to screenshot on. There's a *lot* more, and I had to do some digging, looking for more BTD games and groups on Roblox just to link and report it to Roblox staff. There's probably like, maybe more than 5 games.
SO! I decided to write to Roblox Support! Here's what I wrote for the first message.
Hello to whom it may concern, I wanted to point out an issue that I've been noticing on Roblox. I have noticed there were groups and experiences based on an 18+ horror visual novel game called "Boyfriend to Death" (Sometimes abbreviated as "BTD", not to be mistaken for a different SFW game that uses the same abbreviation "Bloons Tower Defense") "Boyfriend to Death" is an indie game made by adults for adult players only and features heavy gore and sexual themes. The creator of the game (Gatobob) has already emphasised that the game is NOT for children but it unfortunately gained popularity outside of adult spaces such as Tiktok and most importantly, on Roblox as well. Roblox is a game for all ages and many players are children or minors, this is why I am heavily concerned as an adult player myself seeing minors being exposed to BTD fan games and content on this platform.
Because the first message I sent had a message limit, that was all I could send.
A couple minutes later, Garry from Roblox replied to me!
I'll copy-paste his full message into text.

Hopefully, Garry will be able to put action into this. I'll be adding a transcript of my reply on another reblog with another update.
I'm not comfortable with the way people keep posting my content in places absolutely filled with minors- or even places built specifically for minors.
I see people posting my content on Tiktok, ageless forums, AI chatbots, Discord games, even children's games like Pony Town and Roblox.
And then people come to me- asking why I'm not keeping minors out.
I'm a single human person, and I'm usually dog tired from working on game development. I didn't even know what half of these places were until I saw someone's fan content of my characters in them.
What I'm saying is:
Adults, could you help me out? Could you exercise a little common sense here? I have people asking me if they should buy my body pillows on etsy for their 14 year old sister because she saw your tiktoks.
I can't do this by myself.
I made TPOF Ren Playlist yuhh. All the songs are in Japanese and the genres are somewhat random? But there's a lot of songs so I hope y'all enjoy lol
???
First off, it should be said that these viewpoints are my own, and I keep these viewpoints on my own personal accounts. This user is looking at posts I’ve liked, and assuming the absolute worst of me. It bothers me that instead of just asking me (obviously I’m not hiding my opinions) they formed their own narrative and now they’re posting about it publicly, slandering my name, and defaming my character to a ton of people when they haven’t once asked me what’s up.
And since we're on the unfortunate topic of politics, I'll tell you right now that I don't lean on either side, I am an independent.
First off, yes, I do follow these accounts, and I can break down WHY.
Gays Against Groomers: Literally an organization comprised of both gays/queers AND trans people who are against the idea of children being groomed, especially in regards to gender ideologies. For myself, I did personally realize something was "off" with me when I was younger, I knew I was trans for a long time, but at the same time I would not be able to consent to getting gender transitioning care because I was a CHILD, who still pretended I was other things such as animals or Pokemon. To MAKE IRREVERSIBLE changes to YOUR child's body when they aren't even at the legal age to drink or get tattoos is crazy. There's also science involved in which putting your child on hormone blockers actually makes their bones more brittle, along with their brains not developing properly. With the medical world changing so quickly on people, I'm not saying kids can't be trans/experience dysphoria, but its wisest to wait until your old enough so that way your body can handle the medication and change, and so their brains are mature enough to consent to life changing decisions. I’ve worked with kids of all ages (kindergarten through high school) so I KNOW that some kids know what they’re about, but then there are just as many kids who will listen to whatever they’re told most frequently without actually using their brain and thinking about it for themselves/coming to their own conclusions.
I was also someone who was sexually groomed at the age of 16 by a 20 year old woman online, so I am 100% against ANY type of grooming.
Blaire White: I genuinely don't care if people lean left or right politically, and just because Blaire herself is conservative doesn't mean I agree with all of her views. She is also partnered with Gays Against Groomers so I just ended up following her and agreeing with some of her posts.
Stonetoss: Some of his comics are in poor taste and edgy admittedly, but once in a while there's a comic he makes me laugh. I don't see anything on how he's a Nazi however, that seems like a stretch. However, if anyone can provide actual proof of these claims, you can let me know. And again, I don't agree with all of Stonetoss's posts or comics. Just because you follow someone doesn't mean you 100% with EVERY SINGLE THING they say or do, that's crazy.
Transmedscum: This is a person who is trying to bring back to term "transsexual" as "transgender" has become an umbrella term for almost everything to the point where people are now making up things like "age-gender" and other creepy terms to try and fall under the LGBT+ group in order to groom minors. This is an on going problem within online communities and it's only gotten worse over the years. And yes, although I don't agree with xeno/neo pronouns or genders, I'm not going to harass or target anyone who uses them. I don't care nor have the time and energy to care what strangers identify with online.
If you want to identify with being trans/queer/whatever, that's fine, I'm not here to police you. These are just my own personal views. We can all have different opinions and still get along, "agree to disagree" if you will.
There are many pros and cons to transitioning, but don't JUST look at the pros, please acknowledge the cons before you make a life changing decision. A lot of people believed that transitioning was the answer to all their life problems, only to then become another member of the Detrans community (a group of people who transitioned, realized they fucked up on their decision, and try to revert back to their original gender as much as a can, which is hard to do after you go through hormones and surgeries. It's something that people NEED to look into. Again, these are LIFE CHANGING decisions. Make sure you actually NEED it unless you want to live with hard regrets.) I've seen more and more new members joining this subreddit, which means more and more people are regretting their choices.
I find it genuinely disturbing that people are calling me, a transmale, transphobic over finding edgy dumb trans memes funny. I'll try breaking down some of these posts:
Games nowadays are highly customizable, if you're a transwoman, just choose the female option, it's not that hard. I'm a transguy and I always pick the male option. The joke here is that it's pointless to add a transwoman option because...just pick the woman??? If transwomen are women, just pick the woman option! And obviously sometimes these memes push it with the whole "yOU'Re kiLLinG uS" thing but obviously it's just a caricature of a sensitive transperson. I myself, again, a transmale, is not offended by this meme, BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S A JOKE.
Also, did you even READ the screenshots you posted? One of the posts I had was how children shouldn't be at Pride parades because it has fetish gear people in public.
See the little girl with the rainbow skirt? She saw this at the parade:
I find it funny how adult VN communities constantly push for minors to stay out of our spaces, yet you are ok with this? Interesting.
And again, ANOTHER video has someone shaking their tits while children were looking on from the crowd. If you're ok with children looking at this shit, then honestly stay away from me.
And the Stonetoss comic, I thought you guys HATED rich companies banking on LGBT+ groups. This is literally what companies do EVERY JUNE, how have you not picked up on that? Most of these big companies don't even care about queers, they just want your money, so they hope by appealing to younger audiences, they'll get your money by saying "trans rights". It literally feels like you didn't even read the posts I liked and just see Stonetoss's name and said "omg tom is poopy head now :((("
Also like, how is this one bad? Someone was led to believe that anyone wearing a confederate flag was gonna spit on them, but all he did was change their tire and show them respect. People are so paranoid about white people being racist nowadays that they think EVERY Southern guy wants to kill them. Although I don't support the Confederate flag, the context of this is this guy who LOOKS racist ended up not acting racist at all. We need to learn that not every person you come across is going to be some bigot, that's extreme paranoia happening right there. I'm Asian and I've not once had any white person call me any racist name, even when I traveled to the Southern USA. That's not to say racism doesn't exist, but it's been extremely exaggerated over the years to where again, people are paranoid about others. It's been extremely exaggerated within media such as TV shows, especially for plot purposes.
And for the record, @pastelbreakgore it's not fair of you to go through my likes and assume the absolute worse of me without ONCE trying to talk to me like I'm a person. I could of done the same to you. You're clearly upset that I liked a post that was AGAINST pedophilia? If you ACTUALLY read the post, it says how adults are making up new sexualities and genders TO GET CLOSER TO MINORS. If I were to treat you like how you are treating ME, then I would assume the worse and call you a pedophile because you used this as evidence as to why I'm a bad person. So you support this? "I'm a proud neosexual. I think teens are hot."
You have a tag up there saying "anti Latinx", and I’m assuming it’s referring to this post.
Where's the "anti-Latinx" tag? I don’t support Alejandra Caraballo because she supports children transitioning and, as I already explained, I have my reservations about it. Why are you bringing her race into it, when I’ve never done that? If I were to treat you like you’re treating me and assume the worst of you, I could claim YOU’RE racist by bringing race into an argument that has nothing to do with that. I don’t honestly think you’re racist, but am I making my point yet? It doesn’t make sense to just jump to the worst conclusion based on the barest information available.
Please read things thoroughly and ASK QUESTIONS of the person before forming your own opinion and then running with it as fact. Especially if you’re telling OTHER PEOPLE it’s fact. As someone with a platform, it’s your responsibility to be mindful of what you put out there because you undoubtedly have impressionable, younger people who support you and trust you. You make a mistake here by not reading through the posts, and you’ve in fact accidentally painted yourself as someone who supports basically pedophilia. I know that wasn’t your true intention and that you’re just trying to look out for your followers/community - but see how you made a mistake, and your community just agreed with you without reading the posts or reaching out to me either? Your community followed your lead. It of course disappoints me to wake up to baseless slander against me, but even if you don’t care about my feelings or me as a person, at least take your followers into account. They trust you, you don’t want to abuse that trust by doing them the disservice of now doing your own, thorough research.
I hope this clears everything, and I'm always open to questions. Next time, perhaps don't make your assumptions about me public before getting to know me first.
