Just So We're Clear.

I’m done w diagnoses there’s nothing wrong w me. I’m just a bit peculiar and eccentric

THIS!!!!!!!!!! most of us feel like we aren't doing enough because we can't physically stop a genocide but speaking helps!! pressuring helps!! boycotting helps and protesting helps!! please don't give up on Palestinians not when the entire world has turned their backs on them

here is how YOU can help Palestine

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:

the post: everything has a right to exist in fiction, even if it's fucked up

the comments: i was going to reblog this until i realized op likes fucked up stuff in fiction. this is a common dogwhistle phrase for people who like fucked up stuff in fiction. they have to talk in code to trick people into agreeing with them. stay safe out there!

Antis claim when someone is outed as proship it just ends in a block when harassment is what usually follows and then this troll came around (who also spread paranoia about “proshippers going out of their way to violate people’s boundaries” and the post also had like 2k likes) and said the consequence of making people uncomfortable and causing trauma justifies harassment and sending people their own abuse material

And they’re the normal ones

🙄🙄🙄🙄

straight friend groups be like: *blonde girl* *chad* *the funny one* *kyle* *brunette girl* *frat boy*

gay friend groups be like: *catboy* *suicidal mentor figure* *a walking nervous breakdown* *murderous trans guy* *sadistic traumatized doctor* *killed 35 people* *autistic detective* *kenji*

to cis artists, yr allowed to draw trans characters to be clockable, in fact i encourage it. it's not politically incorrect or offensive to depict trans people as being obviously trans, especially if you're drawing cartoons. its not a stereotype a lot of us just look like that

"Self insert characters are cringe"

Bro I'm trying to survive capitalism with maladaptive daydreaming. Leave me alone.

Palestinians are not "animals."

They are not "children of darkness."

Little kids are rescuing cats and trying to comfort them when they themselves are terrified.

A doctor broke down when his father and brother came into the trauma unit.

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.

Momin Kireka is a Palestinian journalist who was disabled by an Israeli attack in 2008.

And despite the difficulty in moving around, he vows to continue to show the world the truth.

Awni, a young Palestinian boy has a gaming YouTube channel he loved so much.

He was killed in the bombing.

Mohammed Sami was an artist who's dream was to open an art gallery.

He was playing with the kids to raise their spirits. And the next day he was killed.

They are victims.

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.
