When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.”
When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.”
They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

Slopcode has ruined every hobby. Even synthesizers. Dudes are out here making bootleg firmware to "hack" synths and companies have had to state "do not do this. It will brick your hardware"
Like come on... This is pathetic.
Something I spoke about before was how transphobia is often an expression of misogyny, it gives people who hate women an outlet and sets trans women up as a class of women it's socially okay to be misogynistic towards, while also providing an ideological justification for that misogyny.
A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women.

This is probably the best ad I've seen against using generative AI: Mayer, who was an engineer at Google and a chief executive of Yahoo, has rotted her brain so much she can no longer classify her daughter as "empathetic, creative and an animal lover". The slide of competence is incredible.
China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD.
In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

During the brazilian elections we learned one obvious but important tactic to defeat the far right on the Internet and I think everyone should know it:
IGNORE THEM! DON'T ENGAGE WITH THEIR CONTENT! DON'T MAKE CONTENT REACTING TO THEM! DON'T HATE QRT! LET THEM ALONE IN THEIR BUBBLE!
Eric Bauza was a generational talent. Modern Looney Tunes really only found its footing with someone like that breathing fresh life into every one of those characters, and it's rare you see someone so clearly relish their work at every stage.
Rest in peace. Thank you for what you did for toons. 💚
It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.
For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia.
Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled.
One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded.
Resistance works.
The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.
I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!
After hearing news of BioWare's closure on Wednesday, over 75,000 Mass Effect fans have signed a petition demanding that EA put another studio in charge of the franchise or license out the IP. https://bit.ly/4siIubW
Its forever been the wildest thing being at games conferences -especially the largest ones- and the talk schedule is like
- creating sincere art from playful naivete
- balancing passion and health
- how to dodge parental controls when monetizing toddlers
- regrets from my 1st commercial codebase
making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format
Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called.
An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.
Completely blown away by the support that the community has been bringing to the Myst Trilogy Kickstarter in LESS THAN A WEEK! Absolutely the best fans any studio could hope for. We appreciate you.

BTW This is the same answer Gov. Andy Beshear made in the 2023 race when facing these attacks, and he won by 5% in R+30 Kentucky
