real talk I feel like the mcelroy brothers are gonna be immensely influential on the next generation of comedians & comedy writers
I hope, if so, that those folks learn from their willingness to accept feedback & critically evaluate their own material.
mcelroy content is so good tbh

Here are some recent cases and convictions.
Most recent conviction seems to be May 2016. That’s this month.
When abusive adults in fandoms prey on the children in them, try to spread that it’s okay to draw child porn of the child characters, to sexualize the child characters, they are breaking the law and encouraging minors to break the law. The law doesn’t care if you use it as a “coping mechanism” (even forgetting that abused people can become abusers themselves). This is illegal and it can get you imprisoned.
Please boost this. Not enough people know the law exists and big-name artists routinely bully people, survivors, minors into believing that spreading child porn in their fandoms is okay and to do it themselves. It’s not, and it can get rebloggers arrested for possessing and spreading obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children.

why not change this blog to So-says-mister-stewart I mean what if someone else wants i-dont-use-this-blog-now as their url
1) why the hell would anyone want that url if they plan to use it
2) mainly because I've posted like 99.9% of all my posts to so-says-mister-stewart and it'd be weird if I changed that now
