Like a Saturn, I'm attachment avoid-dent. The expendable. Covid tried to kill me. Successful author of poems, prose, scripts, and games. Failing voice actor.
Writers shouldn't have to feel bad cancelling on friends. In fact, if a friend is too busy to read your writing you should absolutely make plans and cancel the shit out of them.
Just hand them a poem like "You now have time for these 5 sentences I published."
Israel's plan for the future is to be reintegrated into the global society as a contrite & more evolved citizen of the globe while every Palestinian is exiled and living as an abstract concept of a people. It's like this show is a CIA psyop to test this plan or groom an audience.
The TADC fandom is mad that the fans are accepting a dissociating, traumatized character's abuse when they thought they were in a fake reality is being forgiven; but forget that the reality punishes this character, but nothing happens to the in-show defined literal war criminal.
Which is consistent with Western ideas of genocide at least. Jax is an imperfect victim (Palestine) and Caine is a criticism sensitive, surveillance-state, prison warden over a hermetically sealed concentration camp (Israel). Whose crimes are ignored? Whose remembered?
A professor in the U.S. was suspended for mentioning Palestinians, just days after Hasan Piker was barred from the UK for condemning a genocide.

When Nazi bros feign not understanding to avoid an obvious statement or race or privilege, I just say that white people are out here always needing brown people to explain to them everything about race. It changes the dynamic real quick. Especially when they Ben Shapiro with...
But to the Nazi he sees this as me saying he's "room temperature IQ because whites are inferior" because that's why he says things. Not only that, but he already conceded the point to gaslight me by saying I was speaking gibberish.
I still think it's wild that we let cartoon creators go entire careers never letting a single person of color in their writer's room and then be silent on Palestine and BLM and and and... Not only that but we frame this as safe and apolitical, not segregation. Tag your favorite.
To be fair the Japanese relationship with anthropomorphizing animals comes from Shinto and centuries of working the land next to actual animals. The Western idea of furry came from wanting to bang cartoon characters.
i'm pretty sure the star fox redesigns look like this because japanese artists are known to really really like realistic furries
you're witnessing the american vs japanese furry character design divide live in action rn
