Hello hello my little soon to be angels, this is the pilot speaking ;)

IB SWEEP REAL (manifesting)

pov you are 14 playing ib for the first time

Forgotten Portrait.

based on that ib cafe ad from tweeter

people on here r rly like 'attraction to big people is fetishistic, attraction to small people is pedophilic, having sexual thoughts about a real person is objectifying and basically harassment (and having them about fictional people is perverted), kinky sex is immoral, if youre open about your sex life in any way youre a pervert, if youre not open about them you are queerbaiting. basically you should be completely sexless while everything you do is sexualized and up for debate/speculation. this is good for the lgbt community'

one of the advantages of a small fandom that doubles as a mutual circle is that one person can make a post like “I miss scroinglo boinglo” and suddenly your entire dash will be talking about the best scroinglo boinglo moments

Like it's very true that there are people in lefty spaces who are abusers: they hit their girlfriends, they DARVO when confronted, they gaslight and intimidate people they don't like while remaining charismatic to those they do like or benefit from. There are instances in which these accusations are taken seriously and the victim in question is given the care and resources they need to heal and the abuser is given the opportunity to make amends/leave the community/change their ways. Sometimes the response and accountability processes actually work, but more often than not, I think this is by coincidence and not because these processes actually work.

With more frequency than I think people are willing to admit, instances of miscommunication, legitimate mistakes, bad-faith interpretations, or simple pettiness lead to witch hunts in leftist spaces, especially online. Like, how often have you heard that such and such user is a pedophile, an abuser, a predator. And when you ask what happened, it turns out the person....likes a children's cartoon, is just a gross roommate, or got romantically rejected by someone and sulked on their blog for a bit? Or in real life, I've been in instances where a friend was accused of being a misogynist when in reality they're just a trans woman who disagreed with someone who turned out to be a radfem lol.

It's stupid dumb easy to create a whisper network about someone being a Bad Person in leftist spaces and get everyone to shut up and fall in line because questioning the accuser is seen as harming a victim. There's such a low, almost nonexistent threshold to fact find, to have people state explicitly what happened and provide what evidence they have. This makes it soooooo fucking easy to break apart communities and have everyone at each other's throats at all times, let alone actually organize.

This is a bit of a heavy read, but I think an important one. Pulling any short quote would do violence to the writing, but please give it a read (content warning for frank discussion of abuse and mental illness.

If you give this woman money, it will go to transphobic causes. If you give this woman a platform, she will use it to boost transphobic causes. This isn't a "well nobody's perfect" or "well x other creator also did something bad once" situation, this is an inordinate amount of influence for a creator to have, and supporting her by word or wallet actively hurts trans people.

Musk really is speed running the "2005 toxic forum moderator unraveling" huh

There’s one more thing Lowtax has done that Musk hasn’t yet

Now on some good news

Artstation protest against allowing AI-generated art on the platform, which took form of artists flooding the site with pictures saying NO AI ART, has utterly fucked up AI Art generators that were sampling art trending on artstation without permission. Thus proving that all these generators do indeed steal artwork.

garry ib was the first internet bbygirl ive ever encountered and he will stick with me forever

Whenever I see people discoursing online about how all fiction must model good behavior and explicitly state that any bad behavior depicted is wrong, lest someone in the audience mistake it for “glorifying,” all I can think of is that line from Arrested Development where Buster, in his mid-30s, objects to something by saying “that’s not the way mother is raising me”

Like yeah maybe YA books and kids’ cartoons have a responsibility to demonstrate the difference between Right and Wrong, since the audience is, like, actual children, but if you’re consuming literally anything more advanced than Disney XD’s Ducktales, you should absolutely be expected to bring your own moral framework from home and not need your media to spoon-feed morality to you

if you see a show about a a man manufacturing and selling methamphetamine while abusing his wife and murdering people and you can’t tell whether the author intends for you to think his actions are right or wrong? That might be more your problem than the text’s. You might just, at that point, be an idiot.
