Slugsign is a language of many uses
I may be late to this, but I feel like it says a lot about how analog horror is covered at least on Youtube when Angel Hare, which is one of the most hopeful and wholesome analog "horror" series' I've seen, has videos talking about it that look like this:
Like, yeah it has dark elements, but it's not this horrifying dark show that corrupts children. Jonah wasn't manipulated into becoming a serial killer by Gabby, that's a fandom AU not what actually happens.
I may just be overreacting over something minor, but it annoys me that a genuinely fresh and kind take on the "dark children's show" trope where a guardian angel protects a child from their abusive father and comforts them through a TV show is treated almost exactly the same as Generic Spooky Face Jumpscare Tapes #57. It's all about the dark elements that accompany the story, and not the story itself.
Angel Hare actually tells a coherent and complete story about children's entertainment and escapism, which just so happens to have dark elements to it while still being a comforting series. At least acknowledge the story being told, not just the disturbing elements of it for the love of Angel Gabby.
oh also. one other thing I’ve noticed about the kister situation is the immediate ocification of his characters and world as an excuse to still enjoy his work. I understand if you had an AU or something that you’ve been working on for like ten trillion years and it isn’t that attached to kisters work anymore. but i just keep seeing jokes about everyone’s “new ocs meerkat heathbar and sussy tables!! now that we hate this white guy content creator I can finally ship them yay yay yippee :]” it’s been one day. If you cannot let go of one piece of media in a sea of other pieces of media that are similar and probably better, or even hold off on making jokes about it for ONE DAY after it has come out that REAL LIFE HUMAN PEOPLE were hurt, I don’t know what to say to you. I just don’t. also. please for the love of god maybe don’t use the ever repeating situation of “famous person uses their fame to commit predatory, dangerous behavior towards their fans who trusted them” as an excuse to make your favorite one note horror whiteguys kiss. not only does it say some not great things about your respect towards creator boundaries (even if it was likely that alex only pushed this rhetoric to make himself look less like the type of person he ended up being, plenty of creators genuinely do have these sorts of boundaries and won’t be happy to see how little people actually care) “situation sucks but I guess some good came out of it because now I get to do (this) with this property” nothing good came out of this for the victims. absolutely fucking nothing.
believe them and support them.
I find it funny how everytime people criticize the FNAF movie a random fan comes in and say something along the line of "Guys I know the movie was bad but I am sure in the sequel Scott will fix this-" GIRLYPOP THAT'S THE PROBLEM!!!!
The thing that I hate the most rn is the fact that Wilbur went "we're not gonna talk about what happened. Here's our tour"
Motherfucker what do you MEAN?! If you were innocent, YOU WOULD TALK ABOUT IT! THERE'S NOTHING STOPPING YOU! IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL AND YOU CAN'T DESTROY YOUR CAREER ANYMORE THAN IT HAS BEEN
Trust me I'm getting tired of this too but...
This is Micah Mayfield, a guntuber who recently released a video in which he made a "joke" about having a trans person in his gun sights....
And oh man would you look at that? Its Grand Thumb! The man who Brandon Buckingham who will make fun of you for thinking that they are terrible people or not! These are all people Wendigoon are comfortable being around. Let's see how Garand Thumb is taking the criticism?
Ah! I see! Surely a great person to be friends with!
Why do we segregate sports by sex?
Disclaimer: this video was intended as a fun look at the inconsistent logic of gender segregation in sports, but as a short-form video, it naturally does not go into much nuance. One thing I want to make clear is that I do believe we should be making sports more inclusive to trans and intersex athletes, and it seems to me that a great starting point would be to stop gender segregating sports that really don’t need it. Like archery!
a reminder from yours truly:
JKR is a terf
scott Cawthon donated to republicans, including trump, while claiming to love his trans fans
yandere dev/exaxphanon groomed a teenage fan
I promise you there is better media out there than Harry Potter, fnaf, and yandere simulator. if you didn’t know, you didn’t know, and that’s okay.
but they are not worth your time and attention, much less your money. Cawthon and JKR still make money off their franchises. please stop supporting them.
I am so fucking tired of communities saying "separate the art from the artist" when the problematic creator of the art is actively benefiting from the art itself. I don't see why people who interact with these works instead of either finding new works or interacting with fanmade projects. IF A CREATOR IS STILL GETTING MONEY FROM A WORK, DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON SAID WORK.
This post is mostly for FNAF and Harry Potter fans. Yes, Scott Cawthon can spend his money how ever he wants but that does not make it okay. The people he spent and may still spend his money on are racists and are active harming the Trans, Gay, Black and POC communities. He gets the money from us.
I don't think I should have to explain J.K. Rowling, but I may have to later.
I understand that it's hard to move on from things that have been in your life for years, but PLEASE spending your money and time on something else.
mild inconvenience
