The Weeb Crew

My lawyer has advised me to stop making death threats against TEMU call center employees and tell you that the latest episode of the podcast is out. We talk a lot about Takopi's Original Sin, the most traumatic anime of the season. Probably of the year. Possibly of the decade.

Yeah, I read shoujo manga (I cannot read Japanese)

This is the kind of thing Orb: On the Movements of the Earth was trying to warn us about.

Man what even is Nukitashi this show is crazy 😂

Visa and Mastercard have removed a lot of NSFW content from Steam and Itchio recently, but you might not know it is actually part of a campaign that has been going on for decades. Here's how anti-porn groups got the power to censor the internet

Man, it sure would be awful if a website dedicated to adult content required people's identities to access it. Certainly information about what porn people consume, particularly women, being leaked to the public will never put anyone in danger.

Btw I'd be giving the side-eye to anyone vehemently complaining about "e-thots" on Twitch or whatever going forward.

I get that most politicians are high functioning psychopaths that are utterly incapable of forming emotional bonds with other people, but this feels like a very mask-off "I resent my kids and don't want to parent them" moment.

It's good that people who got into anime after covid are rediscovering the rage bait classics you know and love

remember, to the right, pornography is inherently transgender

PC Gamer's taking another swing at Collective Shout this time over the itch.io hit. Meanwhile, Patricia Hernandez is discussing efforts being brought up against Collective Shout. I'll link to that one below, as I feel that may be better to share

Her stuff always reminds me of this bit from the music video for Danny Brown's "Ain't It Funny"

I do get the sense that this is not something itchio is particularly happy about either. The fact of the matter is that complaining online and boycotting is not enough. People need to organize and start lobbying for policies that ensure stuff like this cannot continue to happen.

Next they're going to requisition money and property from the people who made those games, just you wait.

Glad they are explicit about Collective Shout harassing them

For the past decade, no faction has advocated for total artistic freedom. The right shrieked against "woke grooming", the left against anything "problematic", normies against "gooning". And now they're all blaming each other.

new twitter psyop just dropped, I guess rent is due next week
