I don't get this new wave of writers that are obsessed with kudos/comments. (Not me being judgmental, just me generally observing.)

Short things, like most tumblr posts and doodles, are for other people, and to make fandom friends. They don't take a lot of effort, and are a collaborative thing.

Anything I spend more than 15 minutes on? Yeah, that's for me, bitch. You can like it too, but I really do not care.

Comments and Kudos are just a number I like watching go up sometimes.

If you want validation, why not go for the easier forms instead of churning out whole ass fics for someone else's approval?

I rly hate the Satanic Panic & the moral panic surrounding violence in video games in the 90s, coz it's now impossible to talk about the social implications of violent video games in a realistic sense.

No, violence in video games does not create serial killers in the way most people imagine it would.

However, it's very important to notice how after 9/11, a lot of violent video games pivoted their content from silly gratuitous cartoon gore to more realistic military shooters set in the Levant from a US American lens. It's also important to notice the connection of these games & their toxic online multi-player voice chats to Gamer Gate in 2014.

It's obviously not as black & white as it was presented in the 80s & 90s, I dont think everyone who played early Call of Duty games is a white supremacist who wants to join the military to kill people in the middle east, but I think it's dangerous to pretend like video games or any media can't have an impact on the way people think about violence.

I think what makes all the difference here is how that violence is portrayed, what the message behind it is, what the motives are behind the people who crafted that message, who the victims of that violence are, how they are portrayed & the greater cultural context that surrounds it.

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

Also, people above a certain age know the risks of various diets. At least, they should, since that information is just a google search away. When I choose to eat sushi, I am accepting the risk it might make me sick. Pets don't have that kind of knowledge, and changing their natural diet to anything not endorsed by your vet is cruel.

Even if a single 'ideal body condition exists' (it 100% doesn't, and can we throw ableists in the mix) I have no obligation to keep myself in such a condition. If I want to eat food that tastes good and drink way too much caffeine, and am okay with the risks of doing that, why the hell shouldn't I?

if ur confused about why animal people advocate for keeping your pets at a "healthy weight" but sometimes also in the same breath will advocate against human diet culture, its because we know what body condition a cat is supposed to be at optimally. but literally there is not one for humans as far as we can tell.

humans are a weird, opportunistic, hyper-adaptable and variable primate and we have evolved to have a LOT of variety in size, shape, metabolism, and weight retention. this has been essential to survival in hard times and easy times. you know the thing people talk about sometimes how about half the population are night people and about half are morning people so we'd be better able to watch at night as a group? yeah, weight variation is like that: there's a lot of latent variation in human populations because as a community we survive significantly better if some of us are fuckin ready to not die during the longass winter of death and some of us can eat their weight in fish and then run a mile immediately after. this is also why some people gain muscle crazy fast and some people don't: muscle requires a lot of energy, so some people are built to gain a lot during a plentiful season and be really efficient then and some people are built to use less energy over time and be more useful during a long hungry period. cats and almost all other vertebrates simply don't have this kind of complex community variation built in, and tend to be much more uniform in build and weight. humans tend to be really variable in body and brain, and that's one of the biggest factors that's made us so successful! there are just a LOT of ways to be a human being.

all of the "science" on "ideal human body condition" we have at the moment is almost entirely bullshit and was done by white supremacists for eugenics purposes. it's just not something we know, and right now there's significantly more evidence that there is no ideal body type for everyone to reach. recent research indicates that humans are healthiest at a variety of weights and builds, and dieting is almost universally bad for you. even if the culture hasn't caught up yet.

Anti's would be like

"How could you still watch anime there is so much incest!!!"

And then they are fucking americans like dude do you know your media because if you don't i can gave you some

"crimson peak, game of thrones, house of dragon, dexter, supernatural, twin peaks, ginger snaps, sharp objects, flowers in the attic, psycho(alfred Hitchcock), the bates hotel" and those are the ones that camed to my mind now

Yeah! I'm so tired of anti-Japanese sentiment from antis and butchering of Japanese terms to suit thier agenda. (Fujoshi doesn't mean what y'all think it does, and its like sheep where it needs no s.)

We are just as bad, but since you guys grew up on a lot of western shows, you got desensitized to it. Japan shows queer people far more often (even if the descriptions aren't always 'perfect rep') so in some ways they are more progressive than us.
