@Oneironott Basically I followed up on protomagicalgirl, read the first Reddit thread that came up about her (DON'T!) and went from zero to angrysad within a paragraph. :( Not your fault, sweetie. *hug*

@Oneironott That's cool, hun, but I'm taking the vent opportunity if that's okay:

It's just too proximal to Gamergate culture. Even the "good" parts that are opposed to it still don't seem to be able to just exist separate to it.

Every time I go looking at speedrun/streaming culture, I get stung, just like every other time I try to let gaming be social or cultural activity for me.

It's like never looking at the comments on Youtube, except the comments are always scrolling by on the right side of the screen and they're always putrescent. :|

net time from exposure to speedrun culture to noping out: 23 seconds

maybe i can get up to 30 someday but sorry friends i don't see any reason why

@LexYeen@snouts.online Honestly? I look forward to it. AOC is basically poisoned suckerbait for that crowd, and she knows it.

Every other attack they've made on her has basically backfired and turned into positive PR for the closest thing to Our Team. Maybe trying to tie her in with The Liberal Gamer Threat would give her/us a chance to finally confront the Gamergate crowd on a national level...

@001zlnv you're gonna have to ask my publicist

here's their office

*opens maw, points inside*

@001zlnv the rumors of otter disappearances are scurrilous and untrue

@coyohti I would prefer n'ott to!

I might have an internal otter after all.

I... I don't wanna talk about it. I'm not sure I'm happy about this. ;<

#IShallNottOtt!

@Leucrotta Yeah, we haven't had a normal quiet weekend since around November and kinda need some time to regenerate. I'd love to hang out this week or next weekend though! I wonder if @anthracite would be into just doing a low-key cafe hangout while we work and chat and draw and stuff?

@Leucrotta Oh, those guys! Their boreki are good too. Haven't been there in years, but yeah... I might consider selling Aslan out for a pound of _theirs_.

exactly what it says on the tin

@Leucrotta Loukoum? No. Halvah? Yeah. Sorry, kitty.
