It's now considered controversial to fight the KKK in a video game.
Alt text: A tweet from DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) reads: “Ubisoft canceled an ‘ASSASSINS CREED’ game set in the post–Civil War era. • Featured a Black Assassin who was formerly a slave • Players would fight the emerging KKK • Leadership canceled it after concerns with U.S. political climate & Yasuke backlash.” The source link is listed as “gamefile.news/p/scoop-ubisof…”. Below the text are two images side by side: on the left, a hooded Assassin in white and red armor from the Assassin’s Creed series; on the right, the red Assassin’s Creed logo on a plain background. The tweet was posted at 4:11 PM on October 8, 2025, and has 665.8K views.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Remember: And this is how we have systemic exploitation of newer talents in our industry.

I also remember when we were so scared of first impressions going wrong that we were afraid of asking for any kind of compensation, let alone competitive pay.

"We're not worth ~professional~ pay!!"
"You're going pro?! That's career suicide! Go 'semi-pro'!" /cont'd

Remember voice actors, you're worth being paid for your work and time, don't fall into the trap of giving work out for free just to get a chance at future work

You deserve to be paid, for your time, your energy, your skills, everything

Don't undervalue yourself ❤️

It's such an insane thing to say, any time, but especially now. As if the job market and the housing market and immigration aren't all fucked at the moment. As if learning a new place is something that happens instantly and doesn't take time and energy and emotion.

"Why don't you just move?!"

Do YOU have the means to start over elsewhere?

Do you have a passport?

Do you have the money to pay bills for a year?

Do you have housing and guaranteed employment??

No. OKAY. That's not what this is about so please for anyone spreading this rhetoric, STOP IT.

"Name one indegrdient that we use here on a regular basis that's still alive when we put it in the batter/yeast" might be my favorite throwaway joke in the entire series.  The cover of Necessary Evil featuring the title and a spooky castle surrounded by purple clouds.

"But I don't see 🏳️‍🌈 + 🏳️‍⚧️ actors playing these characters!"

It's because we're generally underemployed/seen as a "hazard" to cast, esp. if we don't sound cis in our natural print.

If you see folks who *are* being cast in big games: note how many are openly 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️/don't visually conform to their AGAB.

So we can’t be mean to AI on Bluesky because it might have feelings…

But transphobes can continue being mean to trans people on Bluesky, which means Bluesky assumes we don’t even MSYBE have feelings.

People need to be remember that every bad thing that happens to someone from the flotilla has been done 100x over (and much much worse) to the Palestinians every day for the past 85 years.

An Israeli prison guard deliberately slammed a metal door on the already broken leg of a 70-year-old Scottish woman who was abducted from the flotilla.

Torture.
THIS IS SAD ❗❗

"That prison was awful. No food, no water. My broken leg, the girl said to me, "Ah, what happened to your leg?" I said, "it's broke." She slammed the metal door on it and went, "Oh, sorry"

Margaret Pacetta, 70, from Glasgow, Scotland, is one of four Scots who participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla. Pacetta arrived in Istanbul Airport on Saturday afternoon along with 136 other activists.

ICE gassed the Chicago Police Department.

Continued video of feds gassing protestors and CPD alike. In the chaos one woman came to a CPD officer asking for help for a relative that she says feds just grabbed.

Officer response: "We just clocked in. We don't know what's going on."
