As someone who used to really like story based first person shooters with an unambiguous, Good VS Evil theme and thrilling heroics, I have to really hand it to Putin.
The next 5 years are going to be Awesome, as all the Creative folks have fled Ukraine and are going to be Fighting the way they know best.
Get ready for the next big Genre of gaming to be Call of Shooty: Kiev Road.
There's this pernicious belief that being marginalized in one way neutralizes every other form of privilege or status a person may have.
Not coincidentally, this belief is often accompanied by hostility to intersectionality, as it reminds them those other privileges exist, or to the concept of privilege altogether.
This is one of the biggest problems with leftism in the West, especially in online spaces where white, technically skilled people tend to create their own social media bubbles.
Geopol, History, Racism
Don't forget, the second world war was a Race War Of Annihilation on all fronts.
In Europe, two evil empires fought until the Nazi Germans were obliterated by the Soviet Red Army.
In East Asia, the Yamato People and their imperial army kept fighting that war into the 1970s in places, even after we'd firebombed, nuked, and rebuilt their country.
And all this, in an era when institutional, state sponsored race supremacy had it's high water mark. What turned it back was perhaps more horrifying than concentration camps or Nanking. Keep this in mind as we confront the racism of the 21'st century.
Nukes might be required again, and we haven't seen the racism get bad yet. Ask the Armenians how bad it can get. The Uighur are suffering that bad, Right Now.
Transphobia, Racism
Restricting queerness in society is a misguided attempt to combat ethnic decline due to excessive population urbanization.
White people move up the socio-economic ladder, and have fewer kids, those Kids aren't dumb and never plan on having children of their own.
This signals an demographic crash amongst the conservative members of the ethnic group, and a reaction emerges: Blame the White People who won't reproduce.
So as you're trying to understand the Hate, take a moment and consider that they might hate you simply because you're not going to be making white babies.
That's what it's always been about: More white babies, fewer brown babies.

Anyone else noticed that India has twice as many Aircraft Carrier Groups as Great Britain?
I kinda feel like that might be important, the way it was important that the imperial Japanese navy had a bunch of carriers. Good thing they signed a treaty saying they're never ever allowed aircraft carriers ever again ever.
Nevermind those helicopter cruisers. Nevermind an F-35 landed on one. Japan is Kawaii now, no threat at all.

A scene I made for @tsunderdog for Valentines Day.
It incorporates the first tree sculpture I made, since her request was a base plate for that tree.
The major innovation with this tree was the Cave, it's the second tree scene I've made with the Faerie Lights incorporated.
I'm very happy with how this one came out, it's visually stunning in person, the lights dance off the beads in hypnotic ways.
I've been working hard on a great many things while I was away from masto, and one of them is beaded bonsai.
This one's up for sale for $80, I just switched jobs and need some gas money for the meantime.
Weeping Cherry in pride flag colors, set in a Triumph clutch segment. If you like this one but want a different species of tree or different flag colors, I'll be posting some of the Other trees I've finished as examples.
