I'm not sure if this has been brought up yet, but as I caught myself doing it, I realized it was very likely a good chunk of others are also - I think having the racist parts included in the poll is going to heavily skew the data anyway because people will, very likely, not feel able to vote for something racist in good conscience, and so the votes the racist screams would have gotten if they weren't racist are lost, thus making the data unusable due to personal bias. not even considering the number of people abstaining completely, dropping the pool of data further! I'm not aware if this has been broached yet, but I think it's definitely worth noting that the data for the racist clips will always be untrustworthy, even if the scream itself is good. On top of all of the other reasons why they should be omitted ofc!

GOD YEAH. i feel so dumb going “🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 well gee you make a good point there 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔” all contemplatively because i’m realizing that was my intent too, in that “well hopefully they’ll whittle down as the rounds go further and further” has been constantly harping on my mind. but that absolutely feeds into everything you laid out too, which, again, i DEEPLY appreciate.

i’ll be doing that, then, in that i think it’s the safest and SMARTEST course of action. it’s likewise been pointed out that the setting is a little different here than if i were doing one of my analyses, in that i’m still making it available to vote for one of those options, and that interactive element innately delegitimizes the harm/makes light of it under the guise of a poll.

i was conflating that perspective with my analyses, which IS often a more objective presentation of “okay: this is it. here is the historical context. here is how a more modern perspective impacts how it currently stands” and forgetting that polls are polls. you’re voting on them. they’re going to get spread around and viewed as a game. and they are! and i was viewing the polls from the same archivist lens as the rest of my blog, when, due to the intrinsic nature of how these polls works, you can’t really do that. it’s not the same presentation. i do view this as a historical archival of the progression of these cartoons, how Mel Blanc’s voice changes and adapts through voice direction and even the impact of history on these shorts (like, the shorts made during the WWII years are much more energetic than the domesticity of the post-war cartoons. there’s more yelling to be found in the WWII era shorts for that reason) and i was getting too lost in that and sticking to my guns of “all of this is history and deserves to be acknowledged and accounted for fairly, if/especially describing how well or poorly something has aged, otherwise it’s not history” and that doesn’t… really… work… for these polls.

i can’t believe it’s taken weeks for me to come to this realization and again, i sincerely thank you and everyone else who has called me out on this or offered other means of perspective. it was pure ignorance on my behalf, and i do want to make it known that it was never my intention to perpetuate these stereotypes and caricatures further nor harm anyone. but, obviously, prefacing it with “my intentions were good!” doesn’t negate the very real and serious harm these caricatures and i myself have caused by spreading them in such a leisurely context (or lack thereof).

as mentioned before, i take the safety and comfort of my followers and readers incredibly seriously, ESPECIALLY with the nature of these cartoons. and it’s exactly why i’m so adamant about asking people (such as yourself) to speak up and call me out, let me know what i’ve done wrong, so i can apologize, take accountability, and move forward. those disclaimers aren’t a way to avoid accountability or make it seem like i have a free pass to discuss racism. i really do mean them with every ounce of my heart, so i deeply, deeply, deeply appreciate people such as yourself acting out on those messages. thank you.

i will be excising any future deplorable examples that come up (that, thankfully, have been very few and far between, i’m up to 1948 in logging these and have “only” run into 2 that would apply) and am just going to cut any of the winners out that survived and are going into Round 2. it’s not worth it. none of it has been, but definitely, if i’m constantly thinking to myself “it’ll whittle down!” then maybe we ought to restructure our thinking now haven’t we. funny how that works.

thank you again and my deepest and most sincere apologies. i feel like a complete and utter heel for my negligence—especially because the gut instinct of “just don’t put them in there” was there all along. but, again! these exact situations are why i stress the importance of calling me out on my BS. i’m likewise deeply aware of literally just how silly this entire thing sounds, because none of this should have ever been a problem because i just shouldn’t have included them in the first place! but i did, and i take full accountability, and the harm has already been done. so i just ask and thank you for your patience, understanding and forgiveness, but completely understand that nobody—especially those harmed by my ignorance—is entitled to give it to me.

nobody ever deserves to be confronted nor harmed with such egregious stereotypes, even/especially if said stereotypes are peddled under the guise of objectivity or historical preservation. a poll is not a history site. likewise, nobody deserves to be alienated over cartoons. i post what i post because i want to share the same overflowing love and passion and joy i feel for animation history with others. i love learning new factoids. i love being educated. i love feeling like i’m learning, like i’m indulging in an intimate slice of life from a bygone era. i want to share that same love and passion and joy to my followers. i’m here to make people laugh and to make people smile. i’m here to remind people of long buried memories, or to inspire them to make new ones and investigate these cartoons themselves. i’m here to preserve the history of these cartoons within their proper contexts, and do what i can to ensure i’m doing that safely and smartly and in a way that benefits everyone. and i’m not going to accomplish any of that by slipping needlessly horrendous caricatures in something as inconsequential as a poll on which clip sounds funnier or more impressive or whatever and causing the harm.

so, sincerely, thank you.

#there are a few Hitler caricatures coming up that i may similarly apprehend—the shorts are making fun of him and Blanc of course is Jewish #but it’s just not worth it for the reasons above. a poll isn’t the proper context for it #i know i’ve been making a lot of big grandiose responses and apologies and posts lately and i know those can come off as pious and hard to #take seriously. and those who do not feel they owe it to me to take them seriously don’t have to. again i’m not owed anything #but i do hope to stress that this all comes from a very genuine place and that i mean every word #i really do genuinely feel absolutely terrible. and obviously the only direction is forward. nobody is asking for me to feel terrible and #what’s done is done i’ve caused the harm i’ve caused and the best thing i can do is own up to it apologize and not repeat my mistakes #so. i know long messages like these can come off as guilt trippy or manipulative but i really am just speaking from the heart (and you guys #know me i never shut up) #so. thanks for listening and thanks for reaching out. i appreciate it immensely. #gothglam #asks

5. First map you ever played?

14. How did you hear about TF2?

31. Favorite map?

SAMMMMMM tysm for the q's 🥰

5. not gonna lie, i don't remember! but i certainly messed around on convoy_v2 a LOT when i first downloaded the game, thanks to a comic i'd seen taking place on the map lol.

14. when comic #6 came out i saw a ton of people talking about it on tumblr and it caught my interest! i did more drawing and roleplaying than playing, but i still liked to get people together for mvm when i could

31. i do kind of want to say convoy_v2 here too, for nostalgia of fuckin' around on it (and also a spot i found to put a teleporter in the stupidest place possible lmao)

#there is one (1) safe place to stand in the dirt below the convoys #i would just build a teleporter exit there and rancho relaxo #gothglam #asks

i struggled a LOT with rocketjumping, literally 150 hrs on soldier and i couldn't beat a tier 3 course. BUT i was very greatly helped by getting a rocketjumping bind on my MOUSE4 button. it took a ton of the stress off my wrist/pinkie and rlly help me gain confidence lmao.

You make a text file, name it "soldier.cfg" (make sure the filetype is cfg and its not a cfg.txt file), then put:

alias +rocketjump "+jump;+duck;wait;+attack" alias -rocketjump "-jump;-attack;wait;wait;wait;-duck" bind mouse4 "+rocketjump"

and save it to your CFG folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\cfg) OR if you have MasterComfig (which i highly recommend) it'll be one more folder deep in \Overrides

you can put it on mouse2 but i dont recommend it if you ever use the cow mangler. ALSO dont feel bad about struggling with jump academy 2, because it has a huge spike in difficulty, going from tier 1 to tier 4 very quickly. even with this bind, help, and now 200 hrs on soldier, i still have not completed the entire easy course.

SORRY for huge message btw i just wanted to get all of the information in one spot jic

oh shit i think i use a very similar cfg file for soldier, including the MOUSE4 bind as well! im gonna post this for anyone else who may need help with rocket jumping

i still try to manually rocket jump whenever i can, especially for c-tapping (i bind crouch to F to put less stress on my pinky) just so i can have better control over the jump height. i still think it helps to continue training the muscle memory, but i definitely use this keybind script when i have to think on my feet during hectic fights lmao

it's honestly super reassuring to hear that im not alone in not being able to complete the easy course despite having a considerable amount of hours on solider, thank you for the ask!! (i LOVE talking about tf2 game mechanics, so don't worry about the huge message 😊)

Hi!!! I love stats and I've been absolutely entranced by @haveyouseenthismovie-poll and @haveyouheardthisband, so I made my own one for food!

>>>>>Here's where to suggest foods!<<<<<

(foods already suggested)

If you’re here to make fun of ethnic foods this is not the blog for you goobaba

Mods: @lesbianplissken, @gothglam, @jade-harley-lesbian, @kevinsteen

terfs aren’t allowed to have food or fun

The pictures we choose are to give a general look at the food and add an element to our posts. It’s hard to find good photos, especially ones of high quality and with the dimensions we prefer. Apologizes if we get things wrong!

He used to be a notable scientist working at Area 51! That is, before he got abducted by aliens and experimented on... and nobody believed him! Now he's got strange powers, no friends, no job... so obviously, he has to spend every waking moment looking for signs of extra-terrestrial life! 🛸 [His Toyhouse!]
