Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

You never know the impact of your protesting, boycotting, social media involvement, etc.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.
Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs
Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Fascism demands to be taken seriously and to be feared. That makes mockery a powerful tool. Is it how you "beat" fascism? I wouldn't go that far. But inflatable Reptar has surely poked a clearer hole in the story the White House is telling that the Democratic Party's multimillion dollar comms shops.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

This literally does nothing. You are not beating fascism by dressing up in inflatable suits and dancing

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

Ppl need to understand that you can have media literacy and just disagree on a piece of art. Part of having media literacy is knowing that a text can be interpreted multiple ways. As long as we can cite our evidence in the text itself or in the genre it takes place in we are using media literacy

Sorry, We're Closed is the horniest non-adult game I've ever played. It has great themes, a great soundtrack, and it will stick with you for a long time. And yes, The Duchess can step on me

So the FANGORIA Chainsaw Awards are... a thing that exists that maybe warrants its own unpacking, but the 2025 nominees for best video game according to horror nerds is a surprisingly decent spread of titles.

what modern rhythm games are missing is max difficulty songs that open with a siren sample so you know you're getting into some nightmare shit before you even start hitting notes

This is why, more and more, I just can't muster up any desire to be a success in the mainstream art world. They want AI to make "content" for people who don't care.

I care about my art, and I want to give it to an audience who cares.

An audience i like and respect.

Ok, but I am curious if you'll make a video about Hades 2 cause people have been discussing the narrative, & I'm curious on your personal thoughts on it when you're done

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke
