you guys know you can just dislike things right. you dont have to find a reason that ship is bad, you can just Not like it. you can just say "fucking hate those guys" and move on. it's okay. this is not a failure on your part to have a preference

What do you think the age range of the Hundred Line cast is going to be? I'm nervous that most are minors, and then some have weird scenes X(

this feels a little like a bait question and if it's not, i apologize. regardless, Kodaka's stated he doesn't really do "ages" as he feels they're limiting. we'll probably never know for sure how old they are.

and if you want a random Kuma's take:

they're not minors. to me, they're 18 and in high school, which is a thing a lot of people seem to forget is very much a real possibility in many countries. same with the Dangans. same with some of the younger Rain Code characters.

why? because i'm an old person and it saves my sanity. i don't want a game where a 15 year old falls coochie-out twice in the first three hours (Danganronpa 2). i don't want a game where one of our heroes is an extremely adult man trying to get with high schoolers (Rain Code: Desuhiko being 18 and out of school is not great, but loads better than if he's like, 25). i don't want a game where a minor is openly telling me about, and quite possibly climaxing to, her kinks on screen (V3).

contrary to popular belief, older fandom folk are not automatically predisposed to wanting to see underaged anime boys or whatever. (how about that.) i widely prefer that if Weird Fanservicey Things and other Weird Shit are going to happen to these young folks, then at least they're adults.

people can view these characters how they want, of course. i always say i am not an Arbiter of Fandom. i think if you see them as minors people should respect that, and those who don't see them that way should be respected, too. so in the end you'll have to make your own decision. me, though, i'd rather like to play these games without feeling like i accidentally stepped in on my little sister's strip poker game with her 10th grade buddies. it's uncomfortable otherwise.

My friend Siraj ( @siraj2024 ) finally collected the amount needed to return home to North of Gaza. Thank you all so much but please do not forget that there is still a long way to go. Siraj still needs to start rebuilding the life he lost under these fifteen months of genocide; his home in which he poured ten years of his life has been bombed twice and cannot be lived in. His office is gone, and it will take some time before Siraj is able to resume work. I know things are tough now, and the world is going to shit for many people on here, but please do not forget about Palestine. Remember that all of this is connected- I don't have better words for this but truly none of us will be free till Palestine is free. Till the Zionist occupation falls and the fascist power of the Imperial Core is snuffed out forever. So please keep supporting Gazans. Keep boosting and donating.

any advice for coping with being on the receiving end of a public callout ?

Oh yes:

Do not acknowledge the callout publicly. It will only further its spread, lend it legitimacy, cause you to be interpreted as guilty, and convey to anyone who bears you ill will that you are rattled and feeling socially threatened.

Do not act out of urgency. One of the ways that cancelled people get themselves in far worse trouble is by spiraling due to anxiety and rushing to issue a statement about what has happened, or to attempt to socially manage public impressions about what has happened. Do not do this. Anything that you say will be picked apart and used against you. The situation is truly not as urgent as it might feel. A lot of times, doing nothing and being quiet is the best way to proceed, and the dust will settle better if you do.

Do not issue a public apology. If you truly feel that you have wronged someone, that conflict should be worked out in private with the people you have directly affected. You do not owe the anonymous public audience a damn thing. Do not apologize for something you don't honestly believe that you have done wrong. Take time and really think about what happened, and seek the counsel of people whom you trust in PRIVATE.

Do not attempt to disprove the callout unless you have crystal clear, smoking gun evidence that the person who accused you is actually victimizing you. And even then, probably don't do it. I have only seen a disproof of a callout work ONCE, and that was when Juniper Abernathy revealed the person cancelling her had been abusing her. Even if the facts are on your side, acknowledging the accusations will only make more people aware of them, give your detractors ground to criticize how you express yourself on every possible level, and will muddy the waters and make people find the situation confusing and troubling rather than clear.

GET THE FUCK OFFLINE. Delete your social media apps for the time being. Turn off notifications. Turn off DMs requests. Change your settings so that you only ever hear from people you already follow (I do this, on the advice of Philosophy Tube). Get away from the computer.

Connect with IRL friends. When you're wrapped up in a cancellation, the negative opinions of a handful of foaming at the mouth freaks loom way larger than they actually are. And social media dramatically skews our sense of social priorities such that the approval rating of complete strangers starts to seem more important than people we actually know, and trust, and who actually know us. Go get a meal with a buddy. Watch a dumb movie. Talk to your grandma about her plans for her garden. Surround yourself with real people you care about and focus on their life and problems, to help put things in perspective.

Find distracting, active, rewarding activities that bring you out of the digital space and into physical reality. Not everyone is talking about you, not everybody hates you, most people have no fucking clue what has been said about you, and most people do not give a fuck about you (that's good). There are so many areas of life that are completely fucking untouched by what a bunch of social media power users have to say online. Go volunteer to clean up a park, run some errands, take an exercise class, foster a dog, regrout your bathroom, knit a hat. Even if the worst case scenario happens and a cancellation sticks, it's really only among a certain very vocal group of miserable fucking people. There is a whole world around you that will not ever care, and you will have a life outside of this.

Good luck!!

Hey Mr Detective

i am begging you all to stop treating this site like instagram if you dont want it to be content free by next year

btw guys managing your symptoms also means apologizing for things you didn't mean to do. sometimes you do things because of your disorders that you genuinely didn't mean to do, but if it hurt someone you still have to take accountability and make up for the hurt you caused
