Wait A Second.

A Dark Souls-like game where the lore for a weapon gets less vague the more you upgrade it. Broken Blade: A brittle sword. You can’t seem to let it go. Unpolished Blade: A cherished weapon from ages past. Polished Blade: You remember something. Bride’s Blade: Your wife’s sword.

Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :

Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources

Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)

Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women

Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women

Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)

Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)

Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community

Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS

Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough

Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media

Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards

Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories

Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")

And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue

Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)

Hello friends, please do not pass by without participating or donating. Do what you can to help me save my family from genocide. They live in very harsh conditions that no human being can bear, especially in this extreme heat inside the tents. There are insects, waste, and pollution everywhere. Due to the difficulty of the place in which they live, there is nothing left for us. What home? We are seven sisters. All of our homes were destroyed and we lost family members. My family is now living under great pressure, with the lack of necessary food, milk for the children, and water Please help me buy a sewing machine so that I can work hard to be able to save them. Your participation and blessings may help me buy a meal, baby formula, or even a bottle of clean water. I trust you and your generosity. Forgive me because I am asking you to do this, but circumstances forced us to do this. We have never asked anyone for help. Thank you very much. With my regards.

Don't Fall for this scam.

Transgender community, please please please do NOT use this product! It will kill you if used, please do not use it whatsoever.

Please reblog and spread the word

DO NOT SUPPORT ERICK SCARECROW.

the twitter message above is from Jonatan Söderström, someone behind Dennaton Games and was responsible for the creation of Hotline Miami. Recently, Erick Scarecrow has been called out (by me and a fuck ton of other people) for using AI Generated art for (What we thought at the time was) official Hotline Miami spinoffs.

It was revealed shortly after this that Erick Scarecrow was not making these collabs legally, via Jonatan. This prompted backlash to be sent to Erick, which resulted in him blocking me (and probably others, i don't know) and leads us to now. Erick said he signed contracts to make the spinoffs, but what Jonatan said is disproving this claim.

TL;DR: Do not buy from Erick Scarecrow / ESC Toys until further notice due to his usage of AI Art and his so-called "legal" spinoffs.

Do not send harassment to Erick, simply do not buy his products and move on. Do not interact with his tweets.

A good video that accurately explains why stud is a term used for black lesbians only, not white, not poc, BLACK

I’m not even going to say please. Respect black identities and labels, they are ours for a reason.

They share a publisher.
