@knovastreams I haven’t streamed in a year and don’t post on X—but this came up on my feed and I don’t care if we don’t know each other. If you need an LGBTQIA+ friend, message me (she/her) and I’ll chat with you. We don’t always have blood family, but our community always has each other.
@EasternSpring I am saying that imagining a world where a certain type of person can be turned “off”, whether it’s who they love or what they look like, is problematic.
@NikkeyBlue1 @last_mexicano @megan73039332 @TheSims I don’t see anyone calling you an asshole or a bitch or saying you hate gays? I’d agree those would be uncalled for. But the attitude of wanting to turn off other orientations is homophobic.
@NikkeyBlue1 @last_mexicano @megan73039332 @TheSims Pointing out problematic behavior for what it is isn’t rude. It’s more problematic to label people trying to eliminate problematic ideas as rude or hateful than anything anyone else said. No one was directly rude to you, and it’s not hateful to point out homophobic ideas.
@NikkeyBlue1 @megan73039332 @TheSims That’s my point—if there was an option to turn off certain races, that would be racist. It’s the same with sexual orientations. Being able to turn off certain orientations IS homophobic. They exist. Pretending they don’t is offensive. You don’t have to play them yourself.
@TheSims Thank you for this! One nitpick that I hope will be updated in future releases: just because someone’s ace doesn’t mean they aren’t open to or interested in sex. 💜🤍🖤
@NikkeyBlue1 @megan73039332 @TheSims …that you find “offensive” is really problematic. And racist/sexist/transphobic/homophobic, depending on what you want to “disable”.
Honestly--let's give 'em what they want. People with uteruses don't need people with penises for pleasure. We've evolved past that. So, fine--no sex from uterus-holders then unless the goal is to get pregnant. Sorry, penis-havers, but you just ain't worth the risk anymore.
There's still a lot of danger for people who, hell, just want to be close to their partner, or try to have a kid and miscarry, or are raped, a mill other scenarios, but to all those responding to the outrage over this with "just don't get pregnant", ESPECIALLY those with penises?
of—it’s a piece that they are drawing uniquely for you and that’s a lot of time and effort for something that they get one payment from. Pay your artists fairly, friends. #rant
I have 24 emotes from @freya_chibi and 6 badges, and if you don’t think that was worth every single penny I paid you literally don’t know talent when you see it. I understand that not everyone has the means to afford custom emotes and that’s okay, but don’t go up to an artist
and is crazy patient with any edits you want from her—you have to remember you’re also factoring in any additional time you’re requesting from the artist beyond just the drawing). Custom artwork is…custom, and it’s a product that they aren’t able to continually make profit off
