Oh holy shit rooster teeth finally got put down??

#dataspeaks #thank god honestly #like. there was not a single good thing happening there #harassment homophobia transmisogyny and workers abuse #and then like new projects being stolen from their creators to be completely reworked from the original vision #and old projects being not allowed to end even after everyone wants them to be over #and the racism and transmisogyny-

#discourse #q neg #Originally i was gonna celebrate the general servers downfall but i do feel bad for the workers still there and for the ccs #Cause to me its very clear they do genuinely love this server and the memories behind it #No sympathy for q tho hes been given so many opportunities to make things better for his employees but he doesnt do anything #And he still tries to say its a passion project thats hes proud of when really hes just proud his name is attached to it

What sucks is that I can feel that a major split in the fandom is probably inevitable now

I guess this is doomposting but I can already see it happening

idk, I'm gonna support the workers in any case

I don't particularly care about the current argument over the union, it's pure distraction to shift the discussion away from the actual problems, as if anyone here actually cares about the union and not just what the union can possibly facilitate

But I do care about the employees and former employees of QSMP and they deserve respect and dignity and credit, not slander or vague passive-aggressive accusations

Which I've unfortunately seen even from people I know and care about, even people I follow or used to follow here on Tumblr, even people I consider friends

So, I feel like I should just be honest here, idk how I'm gonna handle this diplomatically in order not to burn too many bridges unnecessarily, because I don't actually want to lose people over this, but I do also have principles

I had no animosity towards Quackity before this, I hope you can see that from my blog history; I've never been a cc!Quackity hater. Unfortunately at this point I do need to see him do better than this, because his employees and former employees deserve better

If he does actually try to make it all up for them, if he actually talks to them with respect and a willingness to listen to their concerns and their experiences, then I have no more beef with him

I don't think he's a bad person, but he is doing a bad thing

That's all

#qsmp discourse #qsmp admin situation #quackity neg #sorry i have to do this #but it's better to be honest i think #also actual quackity haters fuck off #don't use this for your own bullshit #i know i can't stop you but just know that im not endorsing your shit #i don't care how mad you are about some server that never existed #or some guy who tried to steal quackity's thunder with his own bigger project while not actually doing anything to promote quackity #except a shitty private tweet that was actually for hyping up his own project and covering his ass #about potential accusations of copying quackity #that has nothing to do with this #some guy who acted like a prick and then expected to be treated like a friend is not the same thing as workers asking for basic respect #from their employer

Gamer: I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I’m not kidding! :)

Game devs: hey so just a heads up everyone, we cancelled/delayed our project so we can put the health and well-being of our team at the forefront

Gamer: why would you do this to me what the FUCK is wrong with you

#for every three gamers who are kind and care about developers there's one who is Just Saying These Things #I support workers rights (as long as it doesn't affect me or interfere with the media I consume in any way) #anyway #the secret is to accept that any project you're excited for might get scrapped and learn to move on like a normal human being #in order to avoid sliding into people's replies constantly I just vaguepost instead lmao #gamedev #game development #game dev #gamedevelopment #thoughts

Every other post about Astarion: he mentions he has a complex relationship with sexual intimacy once so you can’t ever think about his character sexually cause he’s a traumatized UwU bean. Totally disregarding that he was horrible tortured for 200 years because being a sex worker is so much more traumatizing. You can only treat him like a sweet innocent sexless being or your objectifying him and sexually harassing him. (Basically the Madonna Whore Dichotomy)

Me, a sex worker, just trying to find one fic where he isn’t written like a 16 year old girl:

#I know you’re all projecting but please shut up #he sees himself as a sex worker #literally talks about it with the drow twins #it’s a very different experience than just being raped #yes it changes your feeling about sex but not in the same way sa does #there can be overlaps but it’s a different experience #from someone that was raped at 16 and is a sex worker now #I speak from experience #sorry I’m not super articulate #but if people takes about me that way they talk about astarion #I’d fucking hate them #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #astarion #bg3 astarion #baldurs gate astarion #baldurs gate

WARNING-- Reaping Week is coming (Oct 26th - Nov 5th)

I've alluded to this a few times and chatted with a few ppl behind the curtain over this but I wanted to give a heads up to anyone who wants to either block the tag or do something to add to it!!

Tldr- if you want to avoid the more grim and possibly triggering stuff going on this week feel free to block #reaping week it won't be for everyone.

What is reaping week?

As @my-chemical-ratz helped me create the name for, reaping week is gunna be a Solarpunk (heavy on the punk) week of rebellion, rebuilding community and defiance!

Gathering its name both from the harvest season and from the Hunger Games reaping of tributes this week I'm gunna be posting things that are a little less cheery than my usual stuff. More focused in the anger, rightful rage, and how to direct it to action in your area. My hope is to build fires in all of us and burn some stuff down!!

What this going to include?

There's a few different facets I wanna cover---

Personal - DIY stuff. projects, local events, personal victories!

Sources of inspiration- as Solarpunk is built off of the idea of creating something to bring it to life I'm also going to be shoving certain media in your face that might give you food for thought, music to listen to while planning your rebellion, or quotes/movies/books to consume to inspiration your directed rage to a proper target.

How to organize and and build community directly in your area + Histoical movements (bread and roses, union strikes, things that have worked in the past)

Can I contribute/use the tag/join?

ABSOLUTELY BABES!! While I currently only plan on doing this with the stuff I've been saving over a few months in my queue everytime I got to pissed off to be hopeful, feel free to do your own works/posts as wanted!

Have a fave union victory? Share it!

Have a recommended piece of media that stokes fire and passion in you? Share it! Send it my way!

Wanna show off some grim and angry project or vent about how things are terrible? This is your chance!

by the way. there's no conceivable universe in which the FTL fleet that left Earth in NtN didn't have it incredibly rough.

I've said this before, but it bears reminding: they jumped blind, using untested technology, with NO supply lines back to earth and no concrete plans for a colony. they took ships that were supposed to stack 11 billion people canned in like sardines and nothing else and stocked them full with enough resources to live on for generations and somehow found a settlement, and that was before they had to rush the schedule because John was making noise about transparency and mask their actual launch as a trial run.

it wasn't a comfortable journey. I'd be very, very surprised if the total passenger count was higher than 10k people, for space/resources allocation reasons as well as for secrecy reasons. Every person on board was a mouth to feed, and their descendants, and their descendants. I've seen some people in fandom say stuff like "Of course they'd bring along servants! Rich wouldn't do chores!" and IMO that fundamentally misses the point.

This wasn't the space equivalent of a cruise liner, or the Titanic crossing the Atlantic with first-class quarters and third-class decks. This is the space equivalent of climate refugees crammed in 500 in a tiny fishboat crossing the sea with a non-insignificant chance of dying en route, after emptying their savings to pay for the trip. The fact that the people on board the FTL ships were once insanely rich doesn't mean they travelled in comfort.

This was a desperate last-chance trip, destination "anywhere but here", chances of survival unknown. Their privilege got them on the ships, but the moment they left Earth, that privilege ceased to exist; there was no way to enforce an existing social structure. This is why, again, I think there were no luxuries on board and absolutely definitely no servants - if you're about to willingly enter into complete social collapse, you don't WANT to bring people you regard as less than yourself, knowing that they will be your equals tomorrow.

I'm still convinced that half the fleet at least didn't make it out, and those who managed to found settlements were nearly wiped out multiple times at different points in history.

#this was brought to you bc of that post this morning about whether there would be pets on the ship. my answer is: not for long #anyway. john calls them soon to be impoverished trillionaires. giving away cash bc it wasn't worth anything anymore in their eyes #we know 200 people on those ships were randomly selected as a smokescreen after john started making noise #we KNOW M- said that absolutely everyone else on the ship had bought a ticket or been useful to the project #you cannot conduct a large scale migration and mask it as a random test. #you can't keep that level of secrecy if you involve people who aren't in your exclusive circle #living people + supplies take up SO MUCH more space than canned bodies people #I'm putting the whole fleet estimate as 10k-12k MAX people and absolutely no menial workers lol #yes the trillionaires will wash the dishes if it means not sharing their limited oxygen with their nanny who could mutiny any day now #ftl fleet #nona reread #sort of i HAVENìT officially started but #tlt thoughts #elle tlt posting #tlt

properly got the chance to read through the statements made by pomme dapper and ramons admins (plus admin 18s and some of the twitter update admins) and jeez i feel so bad for them but especially pommes admin. something incredibly sinister about focusing so much mistreatment on the admin who comes from the country where the union efforts are coming from while making merch of the character they played. capitalism is the enemy of creativity. whoever the people are that are removing admins without notice, theyre the ones that deserve to be removed from the project. not the egg/worker/animal admins that the whole fucking story is built on the backs of

#imagine being so fucking capitalism poisoned #that youd rather mistreat and kick off the people who help make the project what it is #than pay them for WORKING *DAILY* to keep the story going #what a fucking joke #mask mews #qsmp #hardly anyone is getting on the server. bads taking a break. a big part of why tubbos still getting on #is because of the tubbathon + he has to to work on his project #pierres on mostly to be afk and pac and phil get on rarely while other ccs just Arent getting on the server or are doing other things #and even when those who get on the server get on. they talk about missing the eggs. how much they wish they were there #qsmp did good for itself when the eggs werent around dont get me wrong #but the eggs are a GIGANTIC part of its success. it wouldnt be the same without them #you cant downplay how important they are to the very fucking structure of qsmp #especially because the egg admins also play the fed workers and animal characters #refuse to pay your workers what they deserve and eventually itll all fall apart. just because its a slow process with major corporations #doesnt mean itll be slow for smaller projects like this. thats just not how it works

About this whole situation

i feel like the least you can do

is to just... not say you're going to keep enjoying the game.

Enjoy the game, no one can hold you accountable for that, but the moment you're posting on social media about the fact you're going to just ignore everything and support or say that project moon did their best you're just harming the artist they unfairly fired. I know it's hard. I know how devastating it is but at least,

the best thing you can do if you cannot bring yourself to stop playing- is to stay silent.

Also just for some context: (it gets kind of long but long story short. PJ Moon did not make this choice to protect the artist, but they did it because it is the easiest thing.)

Korean women that are angry are angry because this has happened before- in 2016, a VA that wore a t-shirt that was associated with feminism went under attack to the same group of DC incels claiming she's a feminist and should be fired for that.

What the company did- was to fire her, creating a whole whirlpool of situation that got other women targeted and fired. I'm pretty sure the VA here in question got blacklisted from the gaming company.

There are sources revealing that from 2016 to 2020, over 14 women got fired because of similar accusation, and I'm not even sure it counts freelancers that were just silently put off to work.

The National Human Rights Commission of Korea, for fucks sake, has made a testament on 2020 in how the censorship on feminism happening in the gaming industry is a hate crime.

So what Project Moon did here was, it was to do the easiest and most inhumane choice possible, which was to fire a female artist over a similar controversy, bringing the nightmare-ish situation that happened in 2016 back all over again. In 2023. That's why people are disappointed. That's why Korean women feel threatened by this situation. Saying that this was all to protect Vellmori is an insult to her, and to the other female workers who wrongly loose their jobs over situations like these.

The hilarious thing over this whole situation? Every single company that has fired their workers like that has fumbled over themselves! The company and the game that fired the VA got ultimately labeled as a feminist game and lost its male customers too- because they had to keep firing people the moment incels didn't like them, until they couldn't. So incels are saying the game went down because of feminism. Another game? The representative is on fire because to no one's (except for the incels) surprise they fired all of the workers in the project because the game wasn't making any money anymore- making these fired workers reveal the fact that they've been mistreated, overworked, and abused over years. That is two example of many! But what about the games that did the extremely brave and difficult decision to just ignore the incels and go on with their game?

They're fine. They're okay. They had their lows just when the incels attacked, but Korean chauvinist pigs are just so childish that either they decide that it isn't fun to dox people anymore, or comfort themselves saying that oh well, they aren't that feminist after all or, well it's too fun so I don't care it's feminist! This are the pigs PJ Moon cave in. There are games that are boring as hell from smaller companies that survived and are still surviving because their customers are loyal, because the customers know that at least they won't fire their workers over stupid reasonings, the bare minimum!

So just- stop saying you're going to support the game- at least please don't for a while. I can't stop you from playing, but this is something PJ Moon has to take on themselves or this will create the same nightmare-ish situation that happened in 2016 all over again. Don't enable them. Stop giving them the message this is okay. Stop saying it was to support Vellmori, because ruining a young artist's career by telling her she's fired in a phone call after 11pm is not protection. It will never be.

#project moon #limbus company #tw misogyny #tw sexism #workers rights #gaming #please please i know that its really shitty! but understand that i just have to tell you guys to stop saying support out loud because its #a threatening situation for not only me but also other women in korea #tw swearing #project moon just did a really lazy and easy but shitty thing #that could easily cost lives of so many other people #sure incels can bring profit but that doesnt mean that games that dont have profit arent profitable #principally bc limbus had a fanbase of 60 women to 40 men and has a huge following overseas #they basically showed their company direction and thats not excusable #the reason why men in korea are able to do all the horrible and life threatening crimes is because the country and decisions like these #enable them to keep attacking its not a hey they are already sick! stay away! situation

"Unions just want to destroy the company and thus shouldn't be involved" is straight-up capitalist propaganda. Like, every time a company does something scummy they invent some weird reasoning as to why the union is evil and should be dismantled or brought to heel. Almost all of them pull the "I'm just a poor widdle company and the mean unions ask us unreasonable things".

PM situation isn't any different, it's NORMAL for unions to investigate cases where someone quit or was fired under strange circumstances. Even more so if the company has a history of not paying translators (Chinese translation team) and poor treatment of collaborators (like it was with Distortion Detective and Wonderlab), and that the industry has a history of forced quitting and sexist harassment.

If you support PM actions, what you're saying is that companies are warranted in attacking any scrutiny is sent their way, and should be given no oversight. You may think it's a special case and you're being reasonable, but no, PM doesn't get preferential treatment just because they write good stories or because the CEO said "Nothing wrong UwU it was all legal trust me on this".

To quote the article: "...a 22-year-old Black college student...told the New York Times he hasn’t ruled out supporting the presumptive GOP nominee, either. That’s because he remembers his teen years under Trump as a time when a lot of things were a lot better than he sees them now — especially the economy.

“I don’t want to say it was just because he was president, but everything was definitely cheaper,” Fenuku told a reporter. “We weren’t just handing out money to other countries.”

In case anyone is sympathizing with this line of thought: The economy fluctuates. Your rights shouldn't. Furthermore, ANY president, has limited control over the economy. Biden is dealing with a post-pandemic economy, and companies that are cooperating with each other in price-gouging.

A single president is not going to be able to fix that, whether Republican or Democrat. Democrats are at least amenable to holding companies accountable. Meanwhile, Republicans are supporting anti-worker propaganda.

This should show you enough that Trump is not pro-worker or for 'the little people'. He doesn't want you to be able to fight for wages that allow you to live. He's for 'management rights'. He doesn't want the economy to get better for everyday people. He wants businesses to be able to do what they've always been doing; getting rich off other people's hard work.
