Just Wanted To Pop In And Say I Have Been Noticing A Lot Of Younger People Say You Are The One Who Has

bro holy shit

🐜when a minor likes a minor character

this is such a damaging mindset I feel so bad for the kids that antis are brainwashing into being afraid of their own attractions

they should make it easier

Apparently there was no point to my longer, more ambiguous post about this because it's already such a big kerfuffle, it's set off a boycott of Youmacon?! So I guess if you haven't already, you're probably going to hear all about this anyway if you follow cartoons and anime: animator Kyle Carrozza is being accused of getting another artist fired from the animation industry over their "adult content," which the artist cites as a reason for suicidal thoughts two years later. Carrozza is being called a literal murderer for "outing" someone who, allegedly, only posted that content as a necessary coping mechanism for their personal trauma, and allegedly only to a private blog. But...that's all just plain untrue. This artist worked at Cartoon Network while posting weird, explicit drawings and tweets about Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon characters on a twitter account that they also openly connected to their main, where they publicly boasted about their industry work, and therefore only "outed" themselves. You cannot, CANNOT be tweeting like they were tweeting and blame anyone else when a children's animation studio cuts ties with you! I shared a couple off-putting tweets of theirs before but what they actually posted got quite a bit more graphic. None of their art is under the cut, but these tweets are extremely bad and it is completely unsurprising that they would hurt someone's employment with a family entertainment brand. Even if it wasn't stuff about "shota" and "incest," even fully tasteful art of adults having sex, everybody who works in kid's animation knows you can't attach that and your career to the same internet identity. That is simply an accepted part of the deal.

I reiterate, it does not matter if this is somehow vital to their trauma therapy or whatever, when you're trying to have a job with brands like CN, Nick or Disney you just. CAN'T. BLOG LIKE THIS. You also can't demand that your friends and coworkers be comfortable with it, either; if it pushes people away you really have to just accept it, not send your fans on a crusade to accuse them of literal murder for pete's sake In case anyone tries to call the screenshots fake:

And several of his colleagues hugged and gathered to comfort him.

Journalists are playing with babies.

Doctors are refusing to evacuate hospitals because their patients can't and refuse to leave them.

There's a little boy who gives tea to the journalists and thanks them for spreading their stories.

He's displaced at the hospital, his home is gone.

A kid was asked what he wants to be when he grows up and he said kids in Gaza don't grow up.

Kids are writing their names on their arms so they can be identified.

They are going through unimaginable horrors and still find it in their hearts to be kind.

They have hopes and dreams just like you and I.

They are people.

And they deserve to be recognised and known as such.

The Internet Archive is under attack by corporations seeking to wrest more and more of our fair use rights, our public spaces and our communities from the public good. The Archive was recently forced into a settlement for scanning and digitizing legally purchased books. They are now facing a $325 million lawsuit for accepting donations of old 78 RPM historical music records that were digitized by volunteers. The goal is not only to stop the distribution of these works, but to create new legal precedents that make it illegal to preserve or archive for any reason. This will have a significant impact on our culture, our communities, and our future

Here is how you can help them

1. Use The Internet Archive Site

2. Save websites via "Save Page Now" browser tool

3. Become a patron to get a free "library card"

4. Curate & Upload to the Archive
