Let's swing a bat at a hornet's nest: the lesson of Ender's Game is just a louder version of the Rainbow Fish.

If you have a special talent that can be of use to others, you're obligated to rip yourself apart for the sake of those others.

ANYWAYS if you followed my main XIV Twitter you knew this was coming.

It’s not from scratch bc I’m not recatching + reposting all the big fish I’ve caught but I AM making a new fish thread here.

Happy bc this dude only has like 0.4% uptime.

You know I feel like people are so sterile and don't really understand what's in the things we buy. Hope that makes sense. Perlite is literally just a rock. A completely inert rock. And ppl waste their money on eco earth and forest floor substrate when they could just buy cheap (untreated) compressed coco coir and mulch at a garden center 😭

Like all these brands carry the same stuff and hike the prices bc it's "specific" to the use you want it for. Another example I can think of is succulent potting soil. It's a tiny bag for 5 bucks that doesn't even have enough grit, when you could buy a big 5 buck bag of regular miracle gro, and a 5 buck back of perlite, and that will last you much longer. That's ALL you need.

Like, I was listening to this fish podcast the other day that I really like, and these people with backgrounds in biology, who are so intelligent and well-read, got scared of perlite floating up out of their dirted tanks 💀 I'm not calling anyone stupid. I'm just saying we gotta make the effort to find out what's in our products

You're not a "new type of youkai" that has "adapted to mountain dwelling", you just put a camo outfit on and moved to a different place. Have fun experiencing long-term dehydration, dipshit. I'm sure having to probably double your already demanding sodium intake in order not to collapse will be worth it.

#touhou #touhou project #sorry I just can't help but think of the insane types of arcane youkai discourse #the kappa and tengu would have if they developed some sort of 00s esque proto social media on their clunky old devices #have you seen the tumblr post thats like 'underwater twitter call that flipper where you do fishcourse and tell others to krill themselves“ #mild unreality warning I guess btw #crimposting #this isnt a good bit. sorry. #wait I have one more. Kappa discourse is called 'dishcourse' and they call all websites 'webbed sites'. #thank you I'll be here all night

[iputmcytsintohydraulicpress]

do you think underwater they have flipper instead of twitter and you get involved in fishcourse and get told to krill yourself

You have no idea holy carp holy carp theres this one atlantic salmon migrating at the same time as me,,,, says we're going to the same river,,, her sides are such a gorgeous rich chestnut colour and shes so large compared to me and her belly accentuates her curves and shape in the best way! Her scales are so shiny too? Shes practically glowing!!!

🐠 damselfish-in-distress follow

Ngl I really hate how barren fish representation actually is :( There's two types of fish ever. Fish and shark and sometimes ray. They always show generic fishes only, like nonspecific fishes with one or two primary colours plastered on the side. Where are the pipefishes? The anemonefishes? The anglerfishes? The damselfishes? The morays? The hogfishes? The groupers? The marlins, the tunas? Even the wrasses???? There are never any specific species, just red fish, blue fish, that's it!

🌠 stargazing-in-antarctica follow

I would also like to bring up unflattering fishes. It's always reef fishes that get their spotlight to shine, but I've never even seen another stargazer portrayed in a good light on TV

🐠 damselfish-in-distress follow

!!!! This is so true! There's so many of us who never get our chance to be seen anywhere and it makes me so sad :( No diversity at all in the casts of recent underwater movies.

🦈 zzz-in-pyjamas-zzz follow

even the representation that does exist for specific fishes sucks. sharks like myself never see ourselves be shown as anything other than bloodthirsty killers :( we get generalised into a single stereotype of a big gray murderbeast

🔲 among-the-sea-weeds-deactivated follow

Anemonefishes are underrepresented?? umm okay. so we're just gonna pretend like a clownfish didn't star in the single biggest fish movie of all time? Where the sharks are portrayed as nice people mind you so why are you even whining. okay. sure. cool. Really need more clownfish movies out there!!!!

🪸 acidicanemone follow

No need to be passive aggressive @among-the-seaweeds-deactivated. You say anemonefishes are oversaturated in the media? In that case, point me to the seemingly abundant movies where two-band anemonefishes are the main character? How about the ones with only Mauritian and orange-fin anemonefish leads? Red saddlebacks, tomato anemonefish, orange anemonefish, skunk anemonefish, wide-band anemonefish, I could go on. Just because one species of anemonefish, the clown anemonefish, starred in one movie doesn't mean that the rest have it super nice and cozy.

Finding Nemo wasn't even too good for clown anemonefishes either. It's the only movie many have seen that even features a clownfish in a speaking role. My anemonefish roommate has often had people calling her Nemo or asking her to tell a joke because it's a "funny gag" from the movie. It's the first thing people tell her when they meet her a lot of the time. Trust me, the only person who has a problem with better fish species representation is you.

Funny DJ salmon for the character ask thing

favorite thing about them

I like how for a character that technically only exists within one picture, a paragraph or two and a handful of songs, we get a pretty clear picture of the sort of person (uhh fish) the dj is. That and their design is just silly funny 2 me... they look like one of those toys you squeeze and the eyes pop out of... and the prospect of fish violence.. fish arguing...fishcourse

least favorite thing about them

The fact that somehow they haven't appeared in-game or in another piece of art yet!! But also considering their personality is being a rude lil bastard and super rebellious I know there's a 50-50 chance that if they get any dialogue I might end up not liking them as much. So that may or may not count someday soon.

favorite line

no dialogue yet so I'll tell you fishing frenzy is my fav omega 3 song and half of the reason is the siren at the start

brOTP

DJ and Timpanist!! Besties for the resties

OTP

dj x appearing in game or in another piece of official art please?? dear god please??

nOTP

DJ x either of the other two.

We don't know how old the DJ is besides being the "youngest" so until we get a more exact answer of if that's more like 17-18 or early 20's there's too much ambiguity for me to be comfortable with DJ x Timpanist,, but even then I like them much better as friends and bandmates esp because the art of them together ive come across is usually... egh.

And then DJ x Cellist is just. ew. I don't think I have to explain why this is bad even if DJ turns out to be more like mid 20s rather than a teen.

random headcanon

Uhhh Dedf1sh fan. found some of their older stuff online or a more recent song leaked and now he's trying to find any relics of their existence and discography.

Also prefers to thrift, buy secondhand and DIY when they can. Jailbroke/homebrewed 3ds and whatnot too + will pirate things over buy them unless he actually cares abt what/whoever he's buying it from

unpopular opinion

idk if it's an unpopular opinion or not but human/anthro designs i don't like it when people draw him twig thin... please just put a little pudge on this fish I beg of you.

song i associate with them

all omega 3 songs but dark days by pup as well!!!

favorite picture of them

We only have one canon art but I love any fanart I can find of them!! I would like to especially shout out @litethii 's cute drawings of em!!

Rainbow Fish Discourse has now spread to my group chat. I've made a Mistake

#fishcourse

[vurbubera]

What happened with i-am-a-fish? A compilation:

A lot of people are confused about what happened with Tumblr user i-am-a-fish (who I'll refer to as Fish from here on out for the sake of readability), and a lot of rumor, misinformation and hyperbole is circulating. With this post I hope to compile the claims and evidence against him, examine their validity, and hopefully bring everyone up to speed.

Let's get the main thing out of the way first:

Veggiefact is a Twitter account with over 270k followers. 

The callout post it references is this one: https://ratsofftoya.tumblr.com/post/189087352976/this-is-a-repost-since-just-making-an-addition-to. A second call-out is making the rounds too, from bubblegumlopunny, and it’s a Google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gv0ixX_jw9geWxFc07b9En--AGHcTqVBO1E6TLGLhHI/edit

Both callouts share about 90% of the same information. Bubblegum’s callout includes accusations of racism and lesbophobia as well, and more incendiary language and questionable charges than the Tumblr post, but in this post I’ll only focus on the accusations that Fish is a pedophile. 

The child porn accounts on Twitter

The “child porn accounts” it refers to are @krskiii, @Karbuitt and @kamawanu__. The last one is actually safe for work, provided you work at a place that’s cool with you being on Twitter, and the second-to-last one sort-of is, depending how your boss feels about suggestive pin-ups and sex jokes. 

Kamawanu posts fanart of various fandoms, but mostly fanart of Rick & Morty and Into the Spider-Verse. Kamawanu is an incest shipper, although they keep that content to a separate, adult-only and locked account. Karbuitt posts artwork of various Nintendo characters, but in particular Viridi from Kid Icarus. Neither of these accounts can be argued to be "dedicated to child porn" in any capacity.  

Although some Tumblr users would argue in earnest this is child porn as well.

Krskiii is the only account to have posted questionable content. While the vast majority of their feed is cute, safe for work anime art, they posted lolicon back in januari this year. Both callouts include a second screenshot from a tweet made in 2016 as well. 

Was this something Fish reasonably could’ve known about? According to the callout in the Google doc:

This is straight-up untrue.

Not only is it perfectly possible to follow Twitters without checking them first (and many follow-for-follow Twitters operate this way) but even if you do vet accounts, there is no archive or tags like Tumblr has to conveniently show you what kind of content you can expect. You have to manually scroll through a person’s timeline or media tab to see what they post.

You’d only see their most recent tweets, not ones they made almost a damn year ago.

Fish followed this account in a follow-spree that had him hit the follow limit for the day on November 12th, almost a whole year after it was made. Fish's claim that he didn't know about these pictures is not only perfectly believable; it’s unlikely that he would’ve even known about it unles he'd dug through this person's media tab quite far.

This is not the behaviour of someone who curated their following list and carefully vetted everyone on it. 

Was this irresponsible behaviour of him, towards both himself and his followers? Sure, you can make that argument. But it’s not evidence for anything more sinister than that.

The Pornhub joke

If you’re still on Tumblr in 2019, you were probably around for the porn purge of 2018, the one that had everyone scrambling for a new online home. With how few alternatives there are of social media sites that allow NSFW content, people started discussing, mostly as a joke, the possibility of moving to Pornhub. It was enough of a Thing that Pornhub's social media department caught wind of it.

I-am-a-fish decided to get in on the joke and created a Pornhub account and posted about “relocating” on Twitter and Tumblr:

How zany! A goldfish on a porn site!

People voiced discomfort over it, so Fish deleted the links from Tumblr and the Twitter bio, but didn't delete the tweet. The Pornhub account itself seems to have never been used.

The sex joke

Part of the callout post is the claim Fish “deliberately exposes minors to porn”, this + the Pornhub thing is what they're referring to.

At some point in late 2018 or early 2019 Fish decided this wasn't the direction he wanted to take his blog into, changed the original post, deleted the reblogs, and hasn't posted nsfw content since.

Also this happened a year ago.

The Discord server

Fish briefly ran a Discord server with a strict no-bullying policy that applied to everyone. This is not a political stance, but it was turned into one. This counts as “believing in reverse oppression”:

Most of the mods were adults, which is supposedly creepy:

One of them thought shipping characters who have been aged-up into adulthood isn't paedophilia:

Someone on the server thought “pedophilia” is a sexuality:

One thing to note here is that none of these actually involve Fish's own thoughts or actions, just those of people he's vaguely associated with (is Mother Allspite a close friend? An acquintance? Someone who volunteered to help moderate the chat?), as well as complete strangers. He's being associated with statements people have made who have no connection to him whatsoever.

Here are the claims I’ve seen making the rounds about the Discord server of which I’ve seen no evidence:

That the mods supported pedophilia

That the mods themselves were pedophiles

That pedophilia was treated as a sexuality you could tag yourself with

That the server was full of pedophiles

The claim that the server mixed minors with adults and didn’t section off nsfw content/discussion is at least a believable one, so I’m not including it here. It’s not proof of anyone being a pedophile, however. It just means the Discord server was poorly managed.

What to make of this?

There is no proof that Fish is anything worse than a young adult (despite the callout posts all making a huge deal out of him being an adult, he's still only 19 years old) who got too popular too fast and didn’t understand the responsibility that came with that. Even for his “worst” offenses there is no proof of ill intent behind them. At worst there is poor judgment, irresponsibility, and impulsiveness. There is certainly no proof that he is attracted to children, much less that he ever acted on it. 

Nevertheless,

(I have no idea where the “20+ Twitters dedicated to child porn” claim comes from and found no evidence whatsoever to support it)
