I was excited when the site admin who was stealing all the funds finally stepped down only for basically nothing to improve outside of the site not being literally unusable in the first week of the event (last year anyway lol)
The juxtaposition of talking about how dumb the rehashed artfight rule stuff is with friends, and then coming on twitter to see people defending it is so fucking funny. Culturally deviantart commentary tuber moderation team
"Its not a new rule" yeah and it was stupid back then, too! And it's stupid to double down on it! Real people in the real world line over reference images all the time. What are we doing guys
Not saying you cant like Curly - i like him myself - but imo it neglects the themes of the story to explain away a character's guilt in a cautionary tale like this. The words "take responsibility" flash in big scary capital letters constantly! You can't get more blatant!
[Coughs] Curly, as the Captain of the ship, had his hands tied.
Ppl’s first reaction to Curly’s response to the whole situation was always like “OMG he should’ve done something!! He should’ve killed Jimmy with the gun or at least tie him in a room” or shit, but hear me out…🧵
-a ship captain had his "hands tied" in a situation where his friend (who he had responsibility over!) sexually assaulted another of his subordinates. I'm obviously not trying to say OP thinks like this irl, but it's easy to suggest something unsavory about real world problems-
@CantEverDie Little did she know I just learned of my father's passing. He was homeless too. Took everything in me not to lose it, trapped behind the counter like that, unable to say anything. Was too shocked to speak when she tried to ask me a question. Can't imagine being so callous.
@CantEverDie I commute to work in a wealthier part of the city. Lady came by the shop a couple weeks ago to garner sympathy from me for calling the cops on a homeless guy because he was "sleeping in her parking space." Didn't even bother speaking to him. Wasn't even human to her.
whenever anyone seem to believe that homeless people that might be mentally unwell are divinely evil and they Must Be Taken Care of to ensure societal peace, i just wish they’d ask themselves why they think homeless people want to be homeless
