People are always complaining about how studios are afraid to write flawed protagonists nowadays, and yet the discourse surrounding Charlie in Hazbin Hotel Season 2 is proof that these people can't actually handle flawed protagonists anymore.

Let's start laughing again. Like the saying does, humor is the best medicine for any problem. Let the joy and cheer in.
I want 2026 to be the year where we collectively stop rewarding negativity. Stop bringing others down to bring yourself up. Stop bringing attention to genuinely awful people. Stop ignoring people bringing positive changes to the world. We need more kindness and empathy. I’m dead serious

just say you'd rather be angry 24/7 and use a nazi site, don't pussyfoot around it. You wouldn't bother to learn how to use a non-algorithmic site and instantly caved when you didn't get the constant dopamine hit you're used to

Most of all, drop that "we're fucked" mindset. Time to leave that doomerism bullshit behind and focus on doing good.

Rewatching Cellspex's video on the Netflix Avatar and what caught my ear was when she mentioned how it removed a LOT of the flaws Aang had, and the main cast, to make them "likable" and my mind went right back to Charlie in S2 of Hazbin and how if OG ATLA aired now, people would HATE Aang 🧵

This is the paradox: the "AI" bubble is based on hype. It's not about creating useful things. It's about hype to inflate stock.
If the public resists the hype, then line does not go up.
So they hype harder and harder, repelling most people with their hard sell tactics.
It's a downward spiral.

The process is the fun part. Throwing shit at the wall with your colleagues is where the growth happens. The journey of distilling many ideas and iterations into something tightly focused and beautiful is what I enjoy. The frustrations are part of the growth.

This also applies to cartoons and comics and basically everything. It doesn’t matter if you have a concept of something already out there. If you love it, do it. Your work will have your unique mark on it by virtue of being made by YOU. (Also two cakes.)
Indie Dev discovers the game they're making basically already exists, worried of being deemed a ripoff. Original dev responds.

Mozilla is being incredibly stupid right now, but I'd still advise against using Waterfox or other small Firefox forks. Their teams aren't big enough to address security vulnerabilities in a timely way. Using about:config settings in Firefox to disable all the AI stuff is safer.

It's crazy now that we're two weeks away from 2026. This year flew by way too quickly and it was a bit rough at times. My main goal for next year is to improve as I always do and still try to make people happy because in this day and age, we've got to have a little hope and joy.

The numbers aren't even fucking real; you are intentionally being played by botnets that Twitter itself maintains for false engagement. This has been verified multiple times. It's a fake social media site run by nazis that you are giving your artwork, fandom and writing to support.

The lack of a working block was always a safety issue, this is just the repercussions.
