tbh i think im gonna stop engaging with any and all critical videos on media made by queer creators unless its a youtuber i really trust. even when the criticism is fully valid its just too annoyingly common seeing every big release from a trans creator become these hateful cottage industries

and if you see critical videos of a trans person/their work are popping off and you decide you better cover it too for the seo: youre a loser. youre a vulture. youre a nasty little parasite with no convictions or identity outside the things other people tell you to believe.

and if youre wondering i feel the same way about ppl who engage in lolcow culture. anyone who still uses the word "lolcow" to describe a person are the biggest losers on planet earth

like. it always happens. literally always. people are also so weirdly overly critical of everything trans people say and do. all my trans content creator friends are constantly dealing with this, from views in the millions to streams with less than 100 viewers, it happens to all of them

"Can you please watch it?" No. It's unethical, and I don't need to see it to know that.

Ava DuVernay's 14th, about the 14th Amendment, uses AI to animate old photos that are in the public domain, and the filmmaker wants people to see the documentary for themselves before deciding how they feel about it. tinyurl.com/c6nj6vf7

all art should belong to whoever made it. it should be ILLEGAL for bioware (a company!!) to "own" art, then sell to EA so now EA "owns" that art, and then they fire everybody. fuck that! the artists should own it all. idgaf about the IP, if you want a sequel keep your artists employed BITCH!!!

Does it need to be said that Mass Effect shouldn’t exist without the developers and team that was working on this game? Either they come back and make the game they were, or Mass Effect dies. kotaku.com/mass-effect-...

This is why I hate the “it has to be subtle!!!” Critique of queer media. The fact that we can’t just say what we are or what the character is is so reductive and constraining to so many queer writers. Don’t let cis people dictate how you show you identity. They don’t know what they’re saying.

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.

Getting the opportunity to help develop Puzzles and WPNZ for SMG4 was an absolutely life changing career experience. To see these characters branch out into a beautifully animated original show is something I will always cherish to be a part of. Cannot wait for the pilot!

i haven't watched the show yet but god the discourse surrounding bunlith is depressing. peoples' tendency to hate watch indie cartoons and nitpick them to death and talk like shareholders about it mixed with the eagerness to tear down anything made by a trans woman. we can't have anything

i mean you should go see wildwood but why is this news

‘Big City Greens’ storyboard artist Gabi Rodea encourages parents to have their children see ‘Wildwood’ for its mature storytelling.

Senate Democrats posted this the same day Josh Turek released the worst anti-trans ad of the cycle. Meanwhile, DCCC released their own anti-trans ad last week in South Carolina.
