Do I find it ironic that people are boycotting G*nsh*n for the botched English translations of a few characters DESPITE the fact that the western fanbase itself is so blatantly racist against the eastern fanbase?
Yes. Yes I do. But I am not even surprised at this point lol
I would ghost you and take every mutual friend we had with me if I ever caught a "friend" publicly making fun of me like this.
Ya'll are ghoulish and not in the fun way. Fucking rot.
This is what we mean when we say it doesn't matter how "pure" or "wholesome" you try to portray yourself as a queer creator making queer works.
Not only was Heartstopper STILL banned in certain places, but now its own fandom is cannibalizing itself over a harmless joke.
in the least shocking turn of events ever, the heartstopper fandom is having a MELTDOWN over alice oseman’s healthy, wholesome portrayal of gay sex … almost as if “healthy and wholesome” was never the problem
Living proof that your work can be cute, fluffy and wholesome, but people will still harass you over made up bullshit reasons.
This is why I absolutely do not condone harassment/"callouts" over petty, fictional shit.
Ray doesn't deserve this.
@kawanocy
Oh man. I had no idea all this was going on.
It tires me how quick people are to try and "call out" people over their writing/OCs/ships. I'm sorry you even had to go through typing all this up just to explain a story you haven't even disclosed the whole plot to.
@jadex975
It's a preemptive measure AGAINST the spread of the virus-- not a fuckin' cure-all lol It's not just air born either. It can spread through contact which is why they tell you to wash your hands and not to touch your face/eyes after being in public.
Seeing people go "well, maybe if the artist didn't react the way they did" when she was receiving massive waves of harassment from brain dead, mouth breathing fucktwats that can't think for themselves is fucking WILD.
DOXING IS A FEDERAL CRIME. Cartoons fucking is not.
The creator of The Coffin of Andy and Leyley got doxed, so they are transferring the game's ownership to Kit9 and pretty much leaving the internet.
This is why we don't have nice things on the western side
@enbyatlas
Except this person isn't directly askin' the family and are askin' someone who might have a bit more information than they do.
You literally went for their neck over just politely askin' someone on the internet for more information if they could give it.
The Chinese fanbase has been tryin' since pretty much DAY 1 to get you pissants to listen to them about the botched localization and how it's disrespectful to their culture, but now that MHY is withholding content to gain more profit ya'll wanna start cryin'?
@VivziePop
It's 'cause most of them stopped at the pilot and didn't go any deeper. They saw "popularized problematic gay character" and decided to run and grab pitchforks. I bet 90% of them haven't even watched Addict let alone read any of the comics.
@AshNicholsArt
People really don't understand that there is a time and a place for that kind of talk. Like, I get it, "trying to make light of the situation" but when it's someone's entire livelihood or literally their everything people need to learn to grow tf up.
"Waaaaaah the English translation called two of the characters 'exotic' and 'scary' 'cause they have dark skin!!"
But from what I've read from people who speak Chinese as their first language is that the Eng translation is not the direct nor correct translation of the original--
-- Chinese version. There have been so many fights and arguments over this shit since people decided to clutch pearls over Kaeya and Diluc but /now/ is when ya'll decide to start tossin' the "ya'll are being racist" card? When ya'll have literally chased multiple eastern--
@kawanocy
People also need to learn the clear differences between "grooming" and someone just taking care of another human being. It gives me migraines trying to explain the specifics of either one 'cause people are just dumb and don't want to listen.
@miracide_
I really hope more of the artists follow suit.
I do not think this zine deserves to see the light of day. I know it's harsh but it is what it is.
@VivziePop
They seem to have this image of "gay representation has to be all rainbows and UwUs" and forget that there LGBT+ people are human, too. We do bad shit and we say mean things. I can count on hands and feet and hairs on my head every time I've inserted my foot in my mouth lol
Rules for thee and not for me.
Ya'll wanna sling around major accusations and act like everyone who is against you is wrong but MHY wants to make a lil more $$ off ya and suddenly ya'll wanna act like victims lol
I'm sorry, but if you believe it's OK to harass, dox, cyberbully or belittle someone over what they choose to draw for whatever reason I'm gonna need you to fucking LEAVE.
@RubberNinja
How tf were you being ungrateful when they were trying to take advantage of you and several others as a marketing campaign? Make it make sense.
@miracide_
Mm, yes. My favorite flavor of "this person is evil for drawing sexualized fanart so I'm going to send my horde of manipulated children after them while also exposing said children to the problematic content."
I wish I had the privilege of only worrying about fanart.
@fubroshi
It's 'cause people fear someone who fully embraces what they are and are comfortable getting sexual with it.
Ray's main work is so sanitary and yet it still doesn't please the puritans lol
@PaleoSteno
Most of them are just heavily uneducated and parrot whatever they heard someone else even more uneducated said. I spent so long looking into what most of the antis were talking about and most of it was shit from AGES ago that were already addressed.
I guess if you live in a country where it's illegal to be queer you don't get to have queer ships.
You heard it here first, folks. I don't make the rules I just relay the messages.
@GameGrumps
Arin had me thinking they found something or possibly did something super bad and had me sittin' here with spicy armpits. I was scared for ya'll. OTL
People in the QRTs saying "if you consume it long enough you'll start to think immoral things IRL are fine" are missing the point.
I've been playing violent video games since I was 3. I'm 28 next month and I still don't think it's moral to beat old ladies for their money.
“fiction can tackle dark subjects as long as it frames them as bad by the end” or maybe you could use the brain God gave you to figure out what you think for yourself
Finally got around to drawing
@Hamlet_Machine
character Elisah last night. It's just a headshot but honestly I'm lowkey proud of how it turned out 🥺
Also, everything I draw comes out baby-faced lol sorry--
HQ version here;
@Ant1sTM
Oh no let's hope they don't find the Disney porn vault.
Or find out that all of their iconic animators/artists have drawn porn of other cartoon characters as well.
@miracide_
This all just feels like kids taking the whole "omg this character is totally me" joke too far.
You are not an anime character and the artist that created them doesn't even know you exist. Please just-- stop.
If it's tagged, spoilered, labeled, flagged, warned or has BIG FLASHING SIGNS STATING IT IS ADULT/MATURE CONTENT NOT MEANT FOR CHILDREN THEN GUESS WHAT. IT ISN'T MADE FOR CHILDREN. //throws confetti
@reapersun_art
I love this, but in true psychological horror fashion, I read this as Will meaning his skin being hung on the wall and not the photos.
Currently hiding my face in shame brb--
I STILL LOVE THIS THO IT'S SO PRECIOUS!!!
I have seen hundreds of fictional men's cervixes and assholes in my time being on the internet.
Ya'll need to mind your own fucking business. Stop making everything out to be a war on someone's morals over fucking cartoons.
Setting aside the fact that the creator of the series has shown their whole xenophobic/racist ass multiple times by being an uneducated jackass, it's hilarious that they thought the hostile environment they bred wouldn't someday turn on them over something so small.
@DimitriMonroeZ
What is with people and wanting to correlate real life mental illnesses with fictional violence??
Like, do they /want/ to be seen as a violent stalker that could potentially commit murder? Is that what this tweet is saying??
Seeing people lose their shit over a few minor "dark" scenes in some of these newer games only further solidifies my belief that these mfers would not have survived early bl visual novels.
“Why aren’t there more LGBTQ+ dating games” the community says, after savagely tearing down a game that couldn’t meet an impossible standard to which no straight media is ever held
While I do appreciate any reply over no reply at all, I will say that getting a "Thanks. They look good." kinda makes it feel like I've severely let someone down.
I’ve said it before but don’t hesitate to yell at your artists lovingly when you get comm updates back and you’re happy about it
“NDKAKFKWKD OMG OMG OM WKJSAKJDSK AAAAAAA💗💗💗💗💗” is just so much more reassuring than “looks great! Thank you so much!”
@sketchkun
It just puts me off 'cause why are you shitting on the people that paved the way for your ass to be able to create the things you do today??
Shit is infuriating.
Seeing the QRTs bringing up something Ray did as a minor and has profusely apologized for pretty much ever since makes me realize how much y'all just wanna drag people instead of seeing them do better.
@MAMETCHl
Or any art for that matter.
People need to realize that these things take time and a shit ton of effort to create. The prices are what they are for a reason lol
You called people voicing their concerns and presenting evidence of his involvement in all this "mischief."
I do not think ya'll are genuinely concerned for anyone's health and safety, nor do you even care in the first place.
"Lack of evidence" my ass.
If you’ve been on our social media this past week, you probably have heard a bit about this. We would like to discuss claims targeted at a new guest to our lineup, Kyle Carrozza.
Now due to ongoing hostility in the comments section, we have deemed it necessary to lock the
Reminder that it's fine if there are things in fictional media you can't stomach. It's good to curate your online space and experience.
What ISN'T tho is harassing, doxing and causing harm to someone over what they do with their lil fictional creatures.
It's pathetic.
@NachT666
I am hard agreeing with this lol It's mostly the newer people in fandoms that keep me out. Everything is either "too toxic" or "problematic" and "if you do it this way you're wrong for it" and I'm too old to deal with that shit 😂👌
@CelestialFang
They keep tryin' to say that your goal is to get her unalived over all of this when you've literally been blocking her and telling her to leave you alone this whole time. It's only come to this 'cause SHE. WON'T. STOP.
No self-respecting professional in any field related to psychology would refer to petite adults as "child looking individuals."
But lie some more while you're at it.
OH AND DONT COME TO ME WITH "BUT PSYCHOLOGICAL PEOPLE SAY FICTION DOESNT..."
Listen. I'm a 24 year old man with a Bachelors in Psychology. And I'm going to tell you that it is MORALLY fucked up to sexualize Child looking individuals. I don't care what you say.
@handsomehugs
They call you a stalker and yet they were the ones literally monitoring and making "quirky lol 🤪" comics about your trauma, abuse and incessant harassment.
Glad to know they are stealing precious oxygen.
@RedoOfDimitri
Didn't Paimon's Eng. VA also try to say that Paimon was canonically a minor?
Like, I get not wantin' to be tagged in NSFW works of a character you voice if it makes you uncomfortable, but asshats be makin' whole ass stories and lies up to "validate" their disgust and hate.
@fubroshi
I've seen this or people who absolutely refuse to believe that cis people can be gnc while being comfy with their genders.
People aren't allowed to just be themselves anymore.
@DimitriMonroeZ
Idfk, when translators/localizers thought it would be cool to just completely change the narrative of a bl work from "boy likes to dress as girl" to "this character is tr
@ns
'cause they like to wear girly clothes" I feel like that could be the furthest from the original intent.
It was bound to happen eventually.
Shame it wasn't sooner. It's also too much to hope this serves as an example and people start realizing that maybe harassing someone over cartoons isn't a good thing.
@heirof_light
It's not "fun" to be blatantly transphobic and wish death upon a gay trans man over a vanilla ass webtoon he created for wholesome fun.
Not even I'm this fucking braindead and I don't even like slice of life works.
@yuuwoof
Because entitlement lol That's literally all it is. They feel entitled to their own opinions and take those opinions as absolute truth. If you don't align with their ideals then you are in the wrong no matter what and where you come from.
@cyynapse
Is this concept lost on so many people these days? Vampires have had this concept for ages where they keep the appearance they had when they were turned immortal.
It's not that hard to grasp. They even explain this in that God awful series Twilight lol
@CelestialFang
Maybe if she had adhered to the initial block before it escalated to this point you wouldn't have had to contact the authorities to maintain your own safety.
@fubroshi
It sucks 'cause I genuinely enjoy seeing people gush about how happy they are in their relationships. It's rare nowadays to see people so positive about them.
It's kinda the reason why I don't talk about mine nearly as much tho 'cause I don't want people being weird.
Can we please for the love of God stop groveling at the feet of people ((mostly children btw)) who would make baseless and harmful false allegations just 'cause someone drew a two panel comic using the "wrong" terms?
This is ridiculous.
@miracide_
That's good.
Like, I would feel bad but after the one artist outing themselves in the comments and the horrible damage control the zine tried to pull I really have no sympathy left for it.
I encourage the other artists to drop out if they aren't happy with the conditions.
C●missi●n for my lovely and very supportive friend, Neba!!
Forever grateful for their patience and participation in my shenanigans.
OC; @/Nefaillu | @/Neflemon
@AtomicRoboto
I'm so close to breaking that 400 mark lol
I go by Lost/Losti and I mostly focus on OC content and just being an all around disaster. I have an unhealthy obsession with moths.
"You can't be mad if kids invade your personal space if you draw sfw/nsfw art of an anime popular with them" is not the take you think it is when minors are constantly invading NSFW/adult spaces to harass the artists who are just minding their own business.
@Hi3cchi
It's sad 'cause we either have to adapt this habit of keeping our heads down and bowing down while walking on eggshells or we have to develop an idgaf attitude and just roll with the punches we're given. We're either a kiss-ass or an asshole. We can't just be ourselves anymore.
Can't believe I'm pausing my break to state this once again; Dororo is placed during a time where young girls often dressed as boys to help protect themselves-- especially war orphans.
Her becoming more feminine as she grew up is 'cause it was no longer necessary to hide.
@explodikid
It's the way I feel so disappointed but also furious for those who have and will be forced to come out just 'cause of the way people are these days over fictional content.
Anonymity and personal space is no longer respected in internet culture.
Daily reminder that Twitter is not an optimal image hosting site with many issues when it comes to uploading media/content of any kind.
It's why most industry artists have portfolios or archives of their works separate from what they upload to twitter.
as an artist, stop clogging your media tab with memes/reaction images/etc. the majority of people on this platform will NOT bother digging through years of images to look for your art, nor will they click a link to take them else where to see it. keep that place clean.
This is what I am talking about when I say I respect those who are respectful about the things they like and don't like.
It's cool to have dislikes. What isn't cool is harassing someone to the point of harming them in some way over cartoons.
I hope artists continue to create works that I don't personally like, and may even prefer to never see for myself.
I hope such artists enjoy their personal preferences and niches, and don't feel pressured to stop just because some people have different tastes.
No exceptions.
