it's not FOR us

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

$400 away from hitting the threshold where my mom can cover the rest! Don't feel obligated, we'll make do if things stop here, but anything sent now greatly lessens the immediate strain on us and my mom when we pay this off. Thank you all, you've been so wonderful to us.

Very big, very good update

We've got $1750 left to raise, today I spoke to my mom and she said that whatever's left by Saturday, up to $1000, she'd be prepared to pay to get us there

In effect, we only need to raise about $750. *Please* donate, we're almost there. www.gofundme.com/f/please-hel...

Wait, I can explain that better: mass-media/genre villains represent what powerful people are scared of, which is often attractive to people who want to resist those powers

Actually has been, tho not specifically in ref to vtubing - lots of work on how mainstream genre conventions of 'villainy' associate it with disruption to the status quo in a symbolic condemnation of progressive radicalism

Hi, we got off the phone with the lawyers and have found out that our best option for clearing out this debt is, simply, a lump sum. We would need $9400 before the 19th. I know that's a massive ask, but we're less than $4k away, please, PLEASE help us get there.

here's my take: I think humans are really fucking good. inherently. I think we are amazingly kind and giving. and everything about the world we live in is an attempt to stop us from being that. I think our societies step in to stop us from being good. I think our culture punishes us. but we ARE good
