QuestioningEspecialy

…so the (racist af) Tsukimichi series/manga/webnovel has this Demon race, right? Whole isekai happens because they instigate a war against the h(y)umans outta nowhere and the Goddess needs a hero.

it only sorta works for this post since the main character is quite indifferent to the conflict war for quite awhile
interestingly, the story primes you up for that reveal with a precursor villain of sorts

was there a reasonable alternative?

the method was the problem as far as i’m concerned
not that i saw enough episodes pre-timeskip to have a strong opinion, though

holy shit, you in for a treat
there’s atleast an hour’s worth more of a movie in the comic
also, the motion comic’s pretty freakin’ dope

something something “From my perspective the Jedi are evil.”
something something “You were supposed to bring balance to the force, not destroy it.”

still ain’t finished it after all these years 'cause of how hard some levels are (and i don’t wanna use a video every damn time)

…Are we talking posting things anonymously or posting things with your irl name and photo?

Which in turn decreases the likelihood of something happening. Like locking a door.
The saying “If somebody wants to get in they will.” is a terrible one when left as is.

My rule is, never post anything you wouldn’t mind the media tracing back to you IRL and then making the top story of the day in your country.

So don’t live, basically.
Or you can just maintain anonymity as best as you reasonably can and hope no one goes out of their way to identify you or the account(s). Making a new account after awhile is a safe practice. The goal is to decrease the likelihood of undesirable things, not make them impossible.

So~ having recently seen The Blackening (2023), I’m just gonna say that that movie will probably bring up bad memories, make you uncomfortable, and valid you at the same time. Happy Juneteenth.

And, I’m just saying, those kinds of discussions are the worst place to run into some idiot that can’t help but interject their personal politics, or mention their favorite candidates/pols for no reason.

Oh~ yeah, that sounds annoying af.

Well… a cat spits out a web ball in the latest Spiderman… does that work?

Shit, never thought about how the skin test could affect a mixed person. 🤔 Thanks for the comment.
I assumed the Ally tests were more thorough and harder to trick, but never looked into it.

Yeah~ I don’t doubt anything you’re saying. I’m visibly a brotha and “dark-skinned” (actually medium brown back home, but whatevs), so I was spared that shit. Definitely got some other shit, but 'eh. 😅

I will never be black enough or white enough or Latino enough.

Reminding me of (iirc) a Hispanic-American dude who explained a similar situation due to skin tone. As I recall it, he was “too light for the Black kids and too dark for the White kids,” so he had nowhere to go growing up. Nobody wanted him at their table. 😐
Also, dat’s fucked. Since we can’t spoiler tag text, I’mma just speak my unsolicited opinion on it: You’re racially all three and culturally which ever ones you identify with. How society treats you is a different matter.

You’d probably benefit from F.D Signifier’s “I need a break so here’s me reacting to Tik Toks” (timestamped) video and its many~ comments. Nebula version.
Also, here’s his Black Men and Colorism on Screen video. Nebula version. Haven’t watched it yet myself, but chances are it’ll be… relevant atleast.

Now go back and suggest that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” way to draw women

I mean… “bad anatomy” posts were common. So were “where’s her spine?” comments. In this context, the issue was unrealistic realism for women but not for men. I’ll give an example that comes to mind. At one point (maybe last year), One Piece got dunked on for how the vast majority of its women were drawn. And the fans’ defense? (the post was brought up in r/OnePiece, so people were discussing it) “The men are unrealistic too. Most guys don’t look like that!”
Before anyone starts, ask yourself what the difference between physique and body-ody is. Before y’all miss the point, were the male and female characters designed the way the were for everyone’s enjoyment or for a single demographic’s?

As for the both sides of it, when it comes to viewers who’re children, there most definitely is a “bad” way to draw people in general. Friendly reminder that people getting the wrong idea about their genitals from pornographic media is common… for both sexes.
inb4 definition of “children” 🙄

and that being horny doesn’t make you a bad artist or a bad person, and see how that plays out. I bet you’ll get banned, or at the very least downvoted into oblivion.

I’m not gonna bother countering this.
As for the rest of your comment, you’ve got points.

r/MenDrawingWomen didn’t have a circlejerk feel overall. Quite a bit of disagreement and people saying “actually, I’m okay with this one >.>” while also being helpful. Some artists would submit their stuff for advice on “how to not end up here”. People improving their work and others creating good examples of “men actually drawing women well” was celebrated. 🤷🏿‍♂️

(Kotaku|Tumblr)InAction : I hate Kotaku but not for same reason peops in those subreddits hate them

iirc r/TumblrInAction was one of the documented hate groups I got massbanned for participating in. lul That’s when I knew.

Unless I’m thinking of a different sub, I never noticed that about it. Granted, I’ve only seen a handful of posts on the front page and browsed it a few times recently.

r/PublicFreakout’s constant unrestrained 'isms, especially towards trans, women, and African descended. I only was subbed for the occassional interesting post and to call out the bs for those who couldn’t see it.

r/JustUnsubbed’s (iirc) noticeable political shift towards (i’mma say it; cover your eyes, children!) the Right after the recent situation with the game that shall not be named and she who shall not be named. Also, see above.

People shitting on and lying about subs specifically made for marginalized groups. e.g.: When r/BlackPeopleTwitter was blessed by Black Jesus with his “Country Club Thread” flair, people elsewhere started calling them racist and supported their claims by over exaggerating the filtration system as “only Blacks allowed” when there was a whole-ass stickied post explaining that people just needed to claim to be Black, BIPOC, or an Ally and prove it by whatever means the mods dictated. My Afro-ass asked if I could just get the Ally userflair and was told (privately and kindly) that, and I’m going off memory here, “Just like we don’t allow Blackface we don’t allow Whiteface.” 🤷🏿‍♂️

Could probably go on, but I’m busy. ✌🏿

it’s super irratating to be on a sub, talking about friggin Spiderman’s webfluid or something

Having recently watched the latest Spiderman movie, wut?

I’mma be real with y’all, I came to kbin after reading @feditips’ warning on Mastodon. :x
Never heard of Calckey btw.

edit: Forgot the whole username.
