I'm sorry.
I couldn't resist.
And yes, that sound is people groaning and slapping their foreheads all over the world.

This whole thing but especially the part about content warnings. Itch has shown that content warnings can and will be used against the authors who provide them on product pages.
Let's talk about weird art.
Weird art, gross art, sexual art, violent art, all has its place and belongs. And you really need to stop acting like the existence of uncomfortable themes equals harm. That kind of censorship, which IS what that is, only serves to silence and abuse people.

I truly felt this.

I truly felt this.
This is how I feel about Captain Planet's villains, considering... [gestures broadly to every news feed remotely involving the United States] but this seems even more on the nose, though admittedly I hadn't grown up watching it.
Jem is an oddly precognitive 1980s cartoon for 2025 about an artist that collaborates with AI to make music and is tormented by Trumpian villains who never face any consequences for their actions no matter how terrible.
Truly Outrageous.

“In the end, a Trug surveyor rescued me off that asteroid,” he concluded.
Dav the bartender looked at the cricket-like alien Trug the spacer shared beers with. “And this is him?”
“Her,” he said. “We got married.”
Dav did a double-take.
“Lonely souls, small ship, big universe.”

Someone took issue with me saying that American male Protestants are unique in how they've removed themselves from aesthetics. I thought it was obvs that I'm talking about fashion and interior decor, which today are coded as "gay interests," not paintings or architecture.
But let me elaborate. 🧵

Both is good. Like Roland Emmerich choosing both alien designs Patrick Tatoupolos came up with for Independence Day, I want "K-pop" that goes inside, curled up, and hooks up to a "Tank" like the ID4 biomechanical suits

For a while, it was believed that women and gay men are born with a natural sense for aesthetics. In reality, straight men, particularly American male Protestants, have simply barred themselves from taking an interest in aesthetics because they think this makes them noble.
