Episode 1 | Part 4 - 1

Here it is. The first page to the next part of ENAF.

Alot of people were freaking out and were worried about both Glamrock Freddy and Gregory after finishing part 3. This has caused some backlash against me with some harassment and upset comments. I want to come forth to tell you all that both characters are going to be alright. I just didn't want to spoil too much of the story but I hope this clears things up.

UPDATE - Realized this was labeled Part 3. Just fixed it

The real fight is about to begin

I was joking/not joking to a couple of people that Genos's next job might be advocacy for cyborgs. The recent batch of webcomic chapters expand on things most chillingly.

In chapter 149, we see Mr. Fuzzy intending to create a world in which unmodified people will not be able to survive:

Earlier, in chapter 147, we see Machine God Eguro explain to Zombieman about a world in which people no longer have free will.

Horrific. This plan needs to fail completely and their cyborgized victims either freed or allowed to perish, depending on what's been done to them. That's no way for a person to live.

However, this world is also full of cyborgs who chose to modify their bodies. They're going to be caught up in the inevitable backlash: either they're going to be seen as victims or as one-time oppressors.

Once he gets done with hunting for Metal Knight and the Rampaging Cyborg, life is only going to get tougher for Genos. His next challenge is already taking form.

Something TV Tropes noted was that if you want your audiences to think a character evil, just make them a cyborg. It has been refreshingly not true in OPM, where it's been more accurately noted that body modification is something a person has to a) really be committed to and b) have the means to do it. The relative societal privilege enjoyed by cyborgs is going to be ended by some very greedy individuals who think that having much means deserving more.

#OPM #OPM webcomic #meta #Genos #cyborgs #transhumanism is going to have a very bad name in OPM #Genos worries about whether Saitama will be able to remain a hero if he turns the world against him -- maybe he should worry about himself #the world is about to be turned against him for what he is

Story content is not always sunshine and roses. There’s a lot of challenging topics out there that you might want to talk about in your webcomic, and a lot of reasons people might get mad about the fact that you’re addressing them. Today we’re going to address the fear of backlash that we’re loosely calling “purity culture”.

492 - BACKLASH Chapter 7: Survival

[arrowit]

okay I literally haven't posted on this blog since 2020 but I HAD to come back to share fanart of my fave space gal!! Leadfoot is from @biteghost 's webcomic, Backlash . I've been following it for a while (peep this hella old fanart T__T) and this recent chapter has been nothing short of amazing!

Biteghost has been really influential to me in the formative years developing my art style + ocs. And Backlash sparked my desire to create my own webcomic!

in light of the hard drive situation, I hope more data can be recovered, and I hope you know the positive impact you've had on me and so many others throughout the years!

I do honestly think it's really interesting how willing people are to look past things they dislike when it's being used/done by someone they do, but they'll still attack individuals for the same shit.

Like "AI is bad" unless it's being done by someone like Dougdoug, in which case most people are largely able to look past the idea that AI is bad, this is likely because it's being used in such a way where the AI is very obvious and open; and because it's being used for comedy. The thing is, anyone using AI has the ability to use it in this way; but the concept that "AI can be used ethically and in a fun way that doesn't hurt people" isn't considered on a larger scale. It becomes more of an "AI is bad, but if you're popular enough to get away with it; have fun."

Or "Chocolate is literally created via slave labor, buying or enjoying chocolate contributes to slavery." Unless you're that guy who makes chocolate sculptures for tiktok and shit. In which case we'll just focus on the fact you're weaving chocolate or something, and not pay any mind to the sheer amount of chocolate you're using and the fact that this likely covers more money going to the same slave labor chocolate production as like 100 individuals buying a kitkat on lunch because they want a snack. People look past all of this because the art he makes with chocolate is undeniably impressive and fun to watch.

Don't even get me started on "racism is bad, portraying minorities as stereotypes and especially making them antagonistic in media is wrong..." Unless you're Mihoyo in which case you'll find extreme success with Genshin Impact despite literally referencing Native American people for your main fodder enemies; people are willing to look past this because I guess the game is fun and the waifus are hot? I don't know man I don't play racist games.

Misogyny is wrong and sexism in the workplace, or as a cultural norm needs to be dealt with; and indie companies need to be held to the same professional standards as anyone else; but if you're ProjectMoon you get a weird pass on throwing such a shitstorm that you not only get your game momentarily boycott but you also can't handle your business connections well enough to manage not having an entire webcomic shut down. Yea WonderLab is now lost media congratulations, the whole of your shitty business dealings came to light; underpaying staff and treating third parties like garbage because "you're just a little indie company uwu" when you've been raking in the big bucks for a while now. Don't worry though because your audience is too attached to [Blorbo From My Games] to give you any real backlash that will negatively effect your company.

So like, what then? Am I saying we should demonize all these people?

Well no actually that's not the case, though I DO think you should boycott Genshin on the grounds it IS racist; and you absolutely should boycott Limbus Company until the company behind it can get their act together and stop being sexist assholes and generally a shitty company.

That being said, if you think I'm trying to attack dougdoug or the chocolate man who's name escapes me at the moment; you can't be further from my point. My point here is to stop attacking people overall; seek solutions to the problem without attacking the individuals. If you see me, as a single individual buying a kitkat on my lunch break; this is not the time to inform me that I'm somehow contributing to slavery before you go off and reblog "he's weaving chocolate!?!?!" As if that's not literally far worse than what I'm doing.

"But I CAN effect what YOU'RE doing, I can't tell him he's contributing to slavery and make him stop!" Why not?

I mean seriously why the fuck not? You understand these people are only given power by the viewers who support them right? The people who buy their products, the people who give them money.

If he can find a way of supporting businesses that don't use or profit from slave labor then great that's a fantastic change. Similar to how Dougdoug not only writes most of his own scripts but uses AI in such a way that it's ethical, it doesn't involve stealing or victims.

The take away there should be that it's possible to use these things in a way that doesn't hurt people, this is why I think it's different from companies like Mihoyo and ProjectMoon as much as taking any shots at ProjectMoon sucks as a fan of their games; I think sexism and anti-capitalism is more important than some blorbo from my games. That's why I'm not only not spending money on Limbus, but I'm not even playing; I refuse to inflate their user numbers and give them the marketability. I refuse to tell them that doing wrong doesn't have consequences.

"Yea but are you actually doing anything? Does it actually matter?" Well yes and no, yes because if I don't do anything then nothing will happen, nothing will change; nothing will get better. However no because I'm just one person, and if you've ever worked retail and heard the classic "you just lost a customer!" You know as well as I that one person on their own doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of it all when it comes to things like overall company success. However if we all keep giving these racist, sexist, and just generally scummy companies our money and time and activity to market; because "I'm just one person" then nothing is ever going to snowball into a noticeable amount of people.

Boycotts don't work unless a majority of people participate; and I'm sorry but the reason these companies make what they make is to pander to your impulse, to your attention; they prey on your weakness to not be able to break free from them.

That's WHY Genshin has so many waifus and husbandos and bullshit like that; they prey on your inability to control your emotions and thus you will continue to spend money for a chance to obtain your favorite characters and once you do you have an attachment to them; you spent god knows how much money to get them; you invested so much time in getting the currency to roll/pull/draw for them.

That's WHY Limbus Company writes the characters and content they do; because they know you're too invested now; they aren't worried about a silly boycott because they've seen it won't matter. They already know all they need to do is keep releasing more content, and you'll keep playing, you'll keep spending money on it; you'll keep getting hype for whatever comes next. It doesn't matter if you think they're a sexist company, if you think they're capitalist scum; because you're still playing their game, you're still giving them money, you're still supporting them.

This is even true of Tumblr, and it's what I always say when people bring up the fact tumblr isn't listening to anyone telling them about the whole issue of transphobia on this site.

Yea of course tumblr isn't going to listen to you, you're still here. They don't care what you say as long as you still use their site; so long as you still provide them with content, so long as you still inflate their numbers and make their site profitable. You can do whatever you want they're not going to care; if you actually make a big enough stink to make the site unmarketable they'll just precisely ban you, remove the evidence; and move on. They won't ban everyone; if they did that they wouldn't have content; they're only going to lift a finger to bring down the hammer where it absolutely must be done.

Tumblr's CEO went off site to attack a trans girl and while everyone complains about it, we're all still fucking here aren't we? So they absolutely do not care that you know, they absolutely do not care that you're talking about it. In fact god knows that if a post like this ever got super popular and my voice started to matter; I'd just be banned, I'd just be removed with surgical precision; ensuring they leave enough of you all here to keep the ecosystem alive and well so they remain profitable.

I think people point fingers and accuse and blame and throw shade way too much, I don't get on people for AI bullshit for a lot of reasons; but the biggest is that if someone is misusing AI that's the fault of the individual; the person actually doing the theft; not the AI, you don't blame a hammer for breaking a vase; you blame whoever swung it.

Tumblr is a melting pot of various people with various views on things and it's so tiresome to see these sort of half baked moral points getting thrown around "hey if you're not boycotting this you're bad and wrong and a horrible person" okay great, you're not boycotting things I think you should be though so does that make YOU a bad person? It's all fucking relative and honestly unless everyone bands together to make change it's not going to happen, so either agree on something and stick to it; band together and better the world around you; or stop attacking each other for the sins of big companies.

Hey Lit, is it weird that I’m scared art will die due to AI art? I see that sentiment tossed around a lot and it’s freaking me out just a smidge, especially since I just started considering making my own webcomic.

Art's not going to die.

What will happen is that certain facets of creative markets (art, writing) will see a glut of AI-generated projects. However, since Tech Bros are more focused on suckling the teat of 'New is Better', they won't improve them and just stay stagnant at this state of 'peck and steal from human artists'. After a while, consumers will get tired of it and start backlashing (not buying into it, reassessing AI Art as being toxic capitalism, etc).

The Tech Bros will then jump over to the next new thing they can try and siphon any human element from: broadcasting, Vtubing, music (they'll probably finally find a way to break through the laws that are currently stopping them from doing to music what they've done to art), and others.

And the cycle will loop over and over. Because, as has been displayed time and time again with these people, every Tech Bro and Nepotism baby getting squeezed out from Silicon Valley has the phrase 'Fuck the average human being; All my homies HATE the average human being' tattooed on their eyelids.

I started a new webcomic! I’ll be publishing it weekly here:

Backlash (English | Spanish)

It explores the trying years of Haize’s past, revolving around his relationship with the members of their band and how it changes his life forever. He’s one of the protagonists from my first comic, Flow (English | Spanish). If you hadn’t read it, well, now it’s finished and you don’t have to wait for the updates ;)

Thanks for reading the post! ^^
