Hell yeah im all for people fighting for what they believe in, but I’ve never really been a huge fan of, say, someone calling me an idiot or a bigot after saying something without explaining why or somethingI mean i’ll be completely honest. I think the more we tell people what they’re allowed/not allowed to say or do, the more we label people because of the things they say or do, the more negative things become.
Are there a lot of issues that need fixing in the world today? Absolutely. None of those problems will be solved overnight, none of them will be solved by telling the internet stranger that they’re “racist, homophobic, sexist” or any of the other bad stuff, and nothing will change if we don’t stand up for it.
I was thinking about it, and it’s a damn good thing younger people are speaking up, because things would be on a worse path if people weren’t speaking up. I do believe in this process though, something has to change in terms of inclusivity.
Inclusivity, I mean, by including everybody. Even that racist uncle. Include the people who need to change, because if you don’t, and you cast them out because they aren’t as likable or don’t fit what the average person should be, then they won’t learn from the conversation.
That’s why I think much of social media has broken up into echo chambers, and while those chambers can be extremely cozy they’re...not so great for societal progress. We have to find reasons to like each other, and then work on the bad stuff.
Telling a person things they do are bad, without considering the why or how, and then helping them change the behavior is what makes angry/sad people angrier or sadder. We all just want to be happy. Help people be happy, you know?
Oh ****. Someone actually remembered that.
Uh...
...

OK, seriously if you wanna see a piece of my art, here's something I threw together in Illustrator in like... an hour:
They should hire whoever was in charge of designing those characters in Ultimate.SF proportions have always been ****ing weird. It's part of its distinct visual style, though.
I do like it, and I think SFV basically looks like a much better version of SFIV, but whenever they make SFVI they should really consider a design overhaul.
That Sothis art though ... yikes. I’m excited for Three Houses but at the same time this game has already has so many red flags.I just noticed these scans and FByleth's outfit doesn't look so *** here
Edgelord looking smug with her Hawaiian Punch tights.

I really don't see how objectification can be good how is this not a black-and-white issue?Eugh, public pools... After all the horror stories I've heard about them, I've avoided them like the plague any time I'm out on vacation...
Underaged characters? Alright fine, that I get. I respectively disagree with the rest though. It's not that black and white.
...What? Was it because I said he was Mesopotamian? :v
Yeah that won’t cripple Nintendo in the slightest.Here’s my thoughts: kill Mario, Legend of Zelda, and Pokemon!
You sure that's not official art?Welp, I promised that at 10K likes, I'd show off my own art. So...

I admit I **** a lot on the designs when they were recently shown, mostly FByleth as it looked boxy and tacky (well it was ingame, but still) but here everything looks much better and polished, specially the hair, her face needs some work, but if these are in general the final character designs then they are pretty cool.Unpopular opinion, but I'll give credit where credit is due: Those designs look rad.
Wait, what? That has got to be a lie...
>tfw the joke you wrote an hour ago stays in your message box and accidentally gets postedYeah that won’t cripple Nintendo in the slightest.
I think the miscommunication here is a differing in understanding of what “objectification” is in the context of a fictional character.I really don't see how objectification can be good how is this not a black-and-white issue?

In that caseI think the miscommunication here is a differing in understanding of what “objectification” is in the context of a fictional character.
It would probably help if you explained- I’m all for civil conversation if we can all educate each other.

Kim Jong-un is the type of guy who would purposely misread "world peace" as "world piece" and have Dr. Evil level schemes involving its destruction.View attachment 211814

So, in this case it it’s black and white a character would either be a sex object, or not a sex object, right?In that case
Objectification
"the action of degrading someone to the status of a mere object."
"Degrading" is the key word here, which means to disrespect someone or, in this case, a group of people. And more especifically, this means the disrespectful treatment of female characters through degrading them into mere sex objects.
nah. I’m serious. People can have conversations and stay calm lol... or maybe it’s just me?Boi you know that's a lie
I don't know what you mean, I'm always mad, all the time forever, always.nah. I’m serious. People can have conversations and stay calm lol... or maybe it’s just me?
