@bootie_fringe so, there's a Very Bad website that likes to stalk and harass people they feel would be entertaining to mess with

one of the things they do in their stalking is try very hard to find things they can combine with malicious extrapolations to dissolve the target's support networks--networks that are often vital for their victim's survival

also, because these group have a louder voice than a single marginalized creator, the victim's platform turns into a recruiting ground for a mob to attack them, fueled by belief in the original malicious extrapolations as the original stalkers sit back and watch the fireworks for entertainment

however, a lot of lefty circles don't look down on this practice because people with enormous platforms scream that this is supposedly happening to them whenever they encounter backlash from doing something Actually Bad

i posted that because i was frustrated that there are a lot of marginalized people who will defend this practice in the name of "keeping powerful figures accountable" while the people who are hurt most by it aren't the people they want to hold accountable--it's them

and abusive people who realize this literally hunt vulnerable people for sport, because the current perception of the practice means that enough people will give them the benefit of the doubt whenever they actually murder someone using it

thinking about how chuds took the very real problem of vigilante mob abuse, and turned talking about it into a dogwhistle

also thinking about how effectively that ended up sweeping the marginalized collateral damage of the practice under the rug

@technomancy canada has a lot of these particular skeletons in the closet too, and it was only much more recently that some of this history even came to light http://canadiangenocide.nativeweb.org/genocide.pdf

it's absolutely heartbreaking to know how few people seem to even know about it outside of the recent outcry against the literal remains that were found under indigenous schools

i'm glad we aren't honoring anyone involved in the more public incidents now, but there really is still so much left to be done

i also drew an entry for the renshuu kaocoin contest, where you can draw kao in theme with a word in the dictionary

hee, i figured i'd offer some of my expertise..!

i also drew the most basic tdm that has ever basic'd so i could practice drawing a believable diaper quickly

i've been sketching things almost every day, some things more complex than others

these are the basic sketches where i'm trying to experiment a little with inventing designs in like...100 seconds

#tdm

i've accidentally been doing inktober

@monorail *looks at this screenshot, as someone who fears even the number one in that specific context*

oh, oh no no nooo

i also tried some digital painting!

it's weird not having linework, but it made the background significantly easier for me~

it was also fun playing around with the colors a little too

i tried to sketch snivy and i feel like i'm getting much more confident with my linework!

@noiob heck yeah! science beverages
