Ukraine Is Diverse And Embraces It

Introduction to the Project

I’m currently running a group project via Discord known as “Grand Crossover Worldbuilding”. In this project, we take various series and attempt to combine them together into a cohesive whole. 

The project is democratically run. The series included are determined via vote. Using the series that have been voted in as building blocks, participants write up pitches which describe the world and how it is set up. These pitches are then put up for a vote, and if they pass they are added to our canon document. I will be posting the contents of that document on the blog gradually.

The project is open to new members at any date via the link below:

Female Portrayals in Video Games

Recently Overwatch released a new character, citing complaintsof a lack of ‘body diversity’.  Now, Idon’t like the character but that’s for a variety of reasons and that’ll becoming at a later date.  No, what really botheredme was this argument and the implications for a common trend in representation of women in video games.

To add some context, I’m a gay woman and I want to be a game dev.  I’ve loved video games and been a gamer for close to 15 years.  And I really feel there are pressing issues with the arguments for ‘representation of women in video games’.  I’ve made similar rants about this general topic before and you can find my most successful one here.

If you’re concerned with women, body types, representation, etc, I suggest you give me a fair shake and read all the way to the end.  More under the break.

Terry Crews came out and admitted he had been sexually assulted by someone in the film industry, and is now being blacklisted. I have been a fan of his since Idiocracy, and will continue to support all of his work.

So when you wonder why people don’t come forward with their assults, this is why.

Well, I found your problem. You have minor water damage… Probably due to a leak somewhere. It might take a while to find it.

WAYS TO HELP UKRAINE FOR FREE AND WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT

Many of us want to help Ukrainian people during such terrible times but not everybody can do that directly or has enough money to donate. There are ways to still help tho - for example watching videos made by people promising that they will donate whole ad revenue to the charity, yet it is not unreasonable to suspect some of the creators to be scammers, not all of them will publish proof of donation, right?

1) Fortunately, channels like Watch to donate ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCJH1K31TTLYhux3v1Yb3NQ ) exist. They have their own website where they publish proof of donation to the charity for all their videos, each dedicated to another important issue. https://www.watchtodonate.org

Watch to donate already engaged in raising money to fight climate change, aid indigenous people, support girls and women in Afghanistan, prevent LBBQT people suicide,  and so much more! Videos created to support this important issues are still on their channel.

2) Moreover, they have collaborated with artists, for example Michelle Teh - all money made of streaming her song Life Update on Apple music and Spotify will go to Project Hope, they also help in Ukraine (and in other places in the world as well). Their website states that

,, Founded in 1958, Project HOPE is a renowned global health and humanitarian relief organization. Our lifesaving work addresses the world’s greatest public health challenges, transforming lives and uplifting communities. “
