Jo did everything correct. He made harmless content & lots of his personal time was spent to help others
He didn't engage trolls, didn't make himself a lolcow, & he was kind
Yet the dnd-content creator who literally did nothing wrong got chased offline. he didn't deserve this
If this is what it takes to be a content creator online, I don't think I'm cut out for it
read:
TL;DR, Iβm going to finish up my current ongoing projects, and then Iβm going to be taking an indefinite break from making content
I don't care about dragon quest even a little bit. what I care about is artistic censorship, double standards, and people clamoring for these pretending they have a moral highground
this post is an appeal to triviality and should be rejected as a bad faith argument

The dating scene for millennials and gen z are an absolute nightmare. an easy finger to point at is dating apps. there's more for sure but if men are retreating to AI for emotional support, there's a reason for it
@Brandon22030356
neat. people are reacting as if this is the end of the world. turns out Rebecca Sugar considered putting Pearl and Greg together for a while
so what? it's her right as a creator to explore that idea
Former Teacher Here: Why do American schools suck so bad? tons and tons of reasons...
There is no simple solutions but i'll try to break it down as best I can. This isn't going to be comprehensive or exhaustive but here ya go.
#PublicSchoolsWeek
You wouldn't believe the number of 8 year old kids at our convention booth asking for helluvahazbin stuff
I'll explain to parents what the show is and they don't care. Many millennial parents are totally disengaged with taking care of their kids. it's showing in education too
@Uber_Anne
Teacher here: it's a tactic. it's designed to encourage peer pressure against the few dunderheads. most teachers use it wrong.
Also. teachers are people too. some days we're just like "screw it. i'm done, no one gets [reward]" or carpet bomb punishment because screw it
@CFragarach
his "I like girls" video resurfaced again and internet assholes jumped on him.
this wasn't one group either. chuds called him gay (and worse) and cancel pigs called him transphobic and sexist.
a harmless chuckle worthy video got him dog piled...
@literaturedevil
in Danganrampa, the class president character and the high school thug character hated each other...til they challenged each other to stay in the sauna all night. When they emerged, they were best bros.
It's my favorite moment in the game. Such a male thing to do

Thing is...you're allowed to hate gaming and gamers if you want...
i'm just baffled why you'd wanna work in that industry then. especially the AAA industry where it's smart to actually cater to their wants

Post WWII is also why tentacle stuff is so common. the japanese censorship laws were very specific about "penetration"
but people do what they do and figured out a loophole and it created a national kink because outlets were limited
6) Teachers should be paid almost 3x as much as they currently are. The demands are getting higher and they absolutely should be. A highly trained and financially stable teacher is extremely important. Every teacher I knew did a side hustle because their salary was too low.
5) We built our educational season around a pre-air conditioned world. Summer vacation is a plague on American society and should be abolished. Short 2 week vacations in between quarters are scientifically more effective.
1) Public schools were originally designed to sort people into elites vs common workers. The grading system was designed to imitate factory work. Grade A - F.
This worked "fine" when America was an industrial powerhouse but most American work nowadays are service jobs.
12) People don't understand why we teach "unnecessary stuff". Algebra, Molecular Science, Etc? Why do we need it??
You don't. What you need to do is learn how to struggle. Learning to suffer and push past your limitation is a much more valuable skill. Master yourself, not Math
2) The politicians that make the laws don't understand the needs of education anymore. They rely on lobbyists to tell them what needs "fixed".
Unfortunately lobbying needs money and incentive. The people with the most money/power are test making companies like Pearson
8) School boards are their own beasts who can often make or break a school system. They are often run by out of touch elderly who don't understand the new needs of a school
"What do you mean, every students needs a laptop? They're just going to play games all day"
7) Administrators are glorified punishment dealers. Principals and Vice Principals are basically there to be the big scary 'final boss' for "problem students". This is important but Administrators should be dealing with other things. They are among the busiest people in schools
this is the part of your original post people took issue with. You're literally saying that people who like this manga REGARDLESS OF THEIR REASONING aren't worth your time, like your special or something.
get over yourself. this is not a line in the sand worth drawing
4) New teachers are being overwhelmed. The demands to become a new teacher after 2011 are ridiculously hard (at least in Ohio). Their college education are also more about understanding state standards, data collection, and testing rather than specializing in their field.
3) Teachers were improperly trained on how to handle the transition into an Internet 2.0 world. The oldest teachers were able to coast for decades on the old ways and can "prove" their methods were effective due to data collected from "tests". They are retiring

Hope this helps bridge the gap a bit. Its a small piece of what I learned from my 5 years behind the desk. I'm a D-list YouTuber now so what do I know

10.2)
Deadbeat parents - They don't care. They don't take care of their kids and then send them to school as a glorified babysitting service. The horror stories I've heard from this are tragic. They often raise the "bad kids" who frankly are more sad than "bad"
9) Parents are the only people the Board sometimes answer to because if the community gets angry enough they can be voted out, but this is rare since the board member needs to considerably mess up in order for that to happen.
Parents have no clue about education 95% of the time
8.1) There is so much more to this but basically the school board are usually representatives from the community their from. They're business owners, farmers, sometimes retired teachers, but rarely are they anyone new.
a bad school board can ruin a perfectly good school
12.1) It is the teachers job to figure out more fun ways to encourage these lessons but school is supposed to be rigorous, tough, and tedious because sometimes the world is. You just gotta push past it
The ability to teach yourself a new skill is more valuable than anything else

@nabbbal_
This article is a joke. There's *some* of useful information herer for sure. But the rest is riddled with confirmation bias and so much disdain for the topic that if it were written about any country OTHER than japan it would be considered racist
10) You get one of three different kinds of parents.
Perfect Student Parent - their child can do no wrong. Did they get a B on a test? The teacher must have messed up. FIX IT NOW!
They will support a school only if their child is performing well.
11) Wanna know why sex ed is so bad? Trust between parents and the school. The good parents don't want their kids to be taught about sex from (what is basically to them) a stranger. They don't want their kids having sex, so they keep a close eye on them.
There are literally hundreds of other factors but the point is this. Education is broken in small to major ways on almost every level and we can't just magic wand fix it either.
A school system isn't a tugboat, it's a battleship. When you move it, everything else has to as well
10.1)
The Sports Parent - This isn't limited to a parent, the community as a whole can be a problem with this. Since Football and other sports can bring in money for the school through boosters, raffles, and admission prices.
They pay attention to the school only during games
Hot Take: I think using AI for generating ideas, rough drafts, or proof of concepts is perfectly acceptable. Especially if you are using it as a prompt or reference for your artists and writers.
However, under no circumstance should final commercial products be AI.
11.1) The kids that need sex-ed come from the dead beat parents who won't teach them anything. Those kids grow up into hormone raddled teens who do what hormone raddled teens do but without protection/knowledge.
There's more to this but you get the idea
10.1.1) If the school is performing badly at sports, then the parents will just pull their kid and take them to another school. Schools need students to get funded. No sports team, no schools sometimes.
This is why so often coaches are paid so much and stadiums get all the money
We just hit $125,000 which means Volume 1 of the Complete Waifu Handbook has been COMPLETELY FUNDED WITH EVERY STRETCH GOAL!
This scarcely feels real. I never imagined this goofy meme book would be funded with SUCH a massive and passionate community backing. Thank you

we don't need to bring politics into this bro :/ we can laugh at someone being trashed for trying to weaponize everyone else's autism :(
@JoCat105
teacher here: you would have offended a lot of people with that. the least likely person you would offend however, are middle schoolers.
kids are tough, they love edgy dark jokes because it helps them cope with that reality. millennials get offended. Gen Z laughs
@VitoGesualdi
one of my biggest patrons told me that Patreon is going under lawsuit for this. They're likely going to lose millions because they are based in California and there are weird laws about this there. Time to start looking for another platform boyos :(
Hot take that shouldn't be hot:
Draw what you want. If you can imagine a character as another race, that's actually neat and requires talent and effort to make that look good.
Just don't be a racist turd and say "This is the better version"
It's the intention that matters
TL;DR Pokemon GO ugliefied player models, people are pissed for legitimate reasons
People paid money over the last 8 years for in-universe cosmetics to make their characters look good and now models are popping out of their clothes
no one *actually* likes ugly characters

Katrina basically said the same thing regarding localizers having a say in what they want changed including the visuals. She even laments she can't change anime as much b/c the animation is already set in stone. What a joke of an industry.

Before y'all panic, double check what was removed and if there was a backup. That site was NOTORIOUS for double, sometimes triple or quintuple uploads. There was also issues with bonus or troll translations with bad labeling and archiving
Hopefully this will be a reorginization
@H0NEYFANGS
This is actually what Anti's think they're doing...fascinating.
Because many of the Pink people were the same ones demanding people "accept link is a trans man as canon"...at least in my interactions.
Do people just not accept fun AU ideas anymore?

Who on the left is complaining?? Far as I know this was a unifying experience of people being excited that Zelda got her own game that features puzzles and magic?
Zelda fans of all kinds seemed happy far as I could tell
