Assassin's Creed pulls planned game about the Civil War, apparently because having a black protagonist fighting the KKK would offend too many Americans

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode

Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.

Gotta say that spreading clear AI videos of a three armed reporter is actually pretty harmful.

Seems like they are going after reporters who are women. They hit one w/pepper spray ammo in her car, the WGN reporter and now this.

I'm sad to see a lot of artists I know saying it's super hard to get sales. And it really is. So I wanna promote them here again.

Go check them out and buy or tip them if you can. This is the non-US shops list but I'll post other lists as well.

Oni @onidraws.bsky.social · 29d

I made a pack for non-US artists shops!
Let me know if you want to be added (with a shop link) or removed!

If Duolingo can get an anime, imagine an animated series by and starring Agma Schwa (aka "nguh" /ŋə/).

And we get to hear conlangs like Hyperpirate and Santaa spoken as native tongues.

Please don’t listen to them. They’re POS

if you see someone making something out of the love in their heart, and your impulse is to type something like "I don't like him" or "why ship him" or "weird,"

you are not the cutesy wholesome person you think you are

you are actually just a piece of shit.

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

In August, Thomas Wideman, an adult stepson of Covenant Eyes cofounder Ron DeHaas, was arrested during a CSAM sting operation.

I don't want to lambast a guy for the crimes of his son, but how many times do we have to hear about another church pedophile.

It's not porn's fault you're a sexual abuser. Maybe if people spent time dealing with actual ISSUES rather than blaming everything on a imaginary demon...

Screen shot of Ron DeHaas essay (The Perfect Sin) recovered from the Covenant Eyes website:

As my personal burden for the issue of internet pornography has grown, I have seen in the testimonials of our members how pornography has broken relationships.
It breaks down relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, on the job, even lost jobs, relationship to church family, relationship to the "inner man," and a person's relationship to God.
Related: The Effects of Porn on Wives and Marriages
When there is a secret life going on, that secret life affects every one of those relationships. A secret life pervades every aspect of life, and diminishes effectiveness in all areas of life-home, job, church, everything. For those who are active in a church of any faith, a secret life destroys ministry, and the cumulative effect of millions of secret lives is an ineffective church. Basically, Internet pornography has been perhaps the greatest push toward an era of ineffective ministry.
Related: Porn-A Gateway Drug
All the more for the pastor, minister, or counselor whose job and ministry are tied together. The damage that Internet pornography has done is truly immeasurable.
So, from Satan's perspective, internet pornography is the perfect sin. It breaks families and jobs and communities, it tears down a person's relationship to God, it diminishes the work of ministry, and it is devastating in every way. And it is freely available to everyone of all ages, it is only two clicks (maybe one if it's bookmarked) away from you reading this, it is addictive, and (without a monitoring program) it is totally secret. I firmly believe that internet pornography is the sin of this decade. What more could
Satan ask for?

DeHaas served as the Chair of NCOSE's Board, funneling money from his Christian porn surveillance app into the fight to ban adult content and sex work.

He called internet porn "the perfect sin" and the work of Satan.

DeHaas said he founded Covenant Eyes to keep his kids from accessing porn on the internet. The app blocks porn sites as well as screenshots images from your device and sends them to your "accountability partner"

His son used the app Hush to lure a 14 year old for sex, asking for her to send pics.
