Screaming And Crying Rn Because I Bought $30 Worth Of Candy At My Job, Just Left It With Me At My Counter,

Screaming and crying rn because I bought $30 worth of candy at my job, just left it with me at my counter, and someone mistook it for their bag and walked off with it.😭

By who, I don't know, because I was busy with people at my counter.

I like how 30-and-ups are trying to tell other 30-and-ups what school is like now, and just lying off their asses

"Did you hear about the type of communism they've been teaching in schools😰"

Which schools? I wish I could've gone to those ones because my High School taught me sin cos tan, a very watered-down version of real American colonial history, gave me a degree saying I paid attention, a slap on the ass, and said "Go get em"

I despise the very phrase "this isn't you," because inherently, if they did this or are this, then that is them.

I was thinking about this in the context of Transphobic parents, but this phrase is a huge problem outside of that as well.

When someone is apologizing for a terrible person (e.g. an abuser) "That isn't them."

When someone is denying an ugly and active part of their personality "That isn't me."

Unless the person has been Ship of Theseus'ed or is under mind control, then that is in fact them.

i hate wispons give the sonic characters Guns with Bullets

Seeing how that Princess Peach game had its key art changed to be more expressive (as for myself, I do think the middle face looks somewhat off and closer to the proportions of the movie than the games' art style) and how apparently there's been some """drama""" and controversy around it.

Only to very quickly find out the person that controversy mainly originated from is one of those dipshit "loli" vtubers. Another one that I've never heard of before, but any time one of them pops up like weeds in a garden, they're always on some reactionary, 4chan type shit, saying it's because "she looks too masculine", parroting what some absolute morons on youtube said about the movie because Peach wears pants and isn't a helpless damsel to be rescued.

I think this vtuber space is rotten to the core. I hate how the biggest references in this industry are corporate puppets, anime mascots made only to exploit parasocial bonds and sell merchandise. How they appeal so directly to the absolute worst subsections of anime fandom. How so many good-willed indies end up making the problem worse because instead of being the alternative, they simply try to imitate the mainstream.

I said it before and I'll say it until my face turns blue. If you try to be an inoffensive "content creator" who doesn't take a stance when it matters, in fear of alienating part of the audience, you'll only be creating a safe space for the worst kind of people. The lie of "I just want my media to be a form of escapism" isn't something that you say because you don't want to depress people by discussing the Israel-Palestine conflict, it's a narrative cowardly pedalled by those whose day is ruined by seeing a gay person in their anime or pronouns in their sci-fi videogame.

You can "not all vtubers" me if you want, but as long as this is the influence and the reputation the label carries for people outside of the community, they might as well all be. I know what I mean when I say I hate them.
