When some of you realize that people are not just "follower count numbers" and that content creation is not a competition, that's when you'll thrive.

It's a big table. There's room for everyone. Come sit with us, friend.

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators.

Applies just as much in the AP space.

If one of your marketing tactics to promote your game (indie, AA, or AAA, doesn't matter) is to shit on another game, then:

1) You're an asshole
2) You're bad at marketing

You should never put someone else down so you can lift yourself up.
