transphobes suddenly think they become loremastersTM when they have opinions on bridget because they parrot some misconstrued lore but when you ask them how do you block an overhead they’re like i don’t really interact with the community so i don’t know the language :/

No way are people STILL arguing that Bridget isn't trans MONTHS after Daisuke Ishiwatari himself wrote bilingual (trilingual..? do they post the devlogs in Korean..?) statements in clear as hell writing about how she's a trans woman??? Seriously???????

I remember when she was first released and suddenly everyone was N1 turbo master level at Japanese language and culture too lol

"Well Ackshually the 9th reading on this kanji that I looked up just now on Jisho that only shows up in Arcade Ending B in one line invalidates ur point" <- only knows the の hiragana because of memes

#asks #transphobia cw #There were so many people getting 男の子 and 男の娘 mixed up (they have the same readings) and it was very obvious- #-that not a single one of them had any idea what they were on about lol #What was really especially funny about the whole thing were the Americans that were like 'Japanese people are VERY upset about this' #But then all of my Japanese mutuals and their friends and people I found in searches were just like #'Oh cool I love her new design. She's very cute and I hope her playstyle is fun' #Like there were a couple actually Japanese people that were annoyed about it but they definitely seemed like the minority #I saw more Japanese people complaining about the Americans whining about Bridget & spamming tags than any other criticism hahaha #I'm American but the Bridget Event™️ really opened my eyes to just how much (some) Americans think they're the center of the world

Is it true that you’re BRI’ISH?

NO???? I'M ITALIAN HAKJDHSFSHHFGSKJGHDSG HELP

[eterniityblooms]

updated my rules to include shipping info + a bit more about my monster muses specifically, since shipping with at LEAST one muse on this account is probably inevitable at some point

#『 from the rumblings comes a song: ooc. 』 #tldr i don't know who is and isn't open for ships so if you jive with a particular muse after writing with them some by all means feel free #to ask and we can see if it would work; crossover ships are absolutely wonderful too so don't feel afraid to ask even if the verse is #different! #also that all my monster muses are fully sapient and open to shipping with humans/wyverians/nonhumans/other monsters/etc provided they vibe #and most of them possess their true form，a 'hybrid' form and their human/wyverian form but all of them can and will spend at least Some tim #in their true forms and a lot of them Prefer that form #i don't think? that'll be an Issue here on tumblr but on twitter ojhhhh my god nobody would rp with you if you didn't basically make your #monster muse a glorified human. i had ppl try to pressure my muse ic to use their human form just. for a conversation?? then proceeded to #drop the int and cease to acknowledge me whatsoever when i refused because my muse didn't see the point in wasting the energy to shift form #when they can talk perfectly fine in their true form #not ALL of my monster muses speak words verbally (soul comes to mind as one who typically doesn't) but those who don't still have plenty of #ways of expressing themselves #also they choose not to not because they CAN'T because they either don't Want to or mimicking the sound of speech is hard on their throat #(ie soul) so they opt to not unless they Really want to make a point or make damn sure they're being listened to #nonverbal/non-words communication is a valid form of communication and i like writing natural monster/dragon communication through sounds #and body language. it is very fun<3 #sorry for the tag spam ramble btw i do this Often. nicer than dumping it all in the body of the post yknow?

[miyakuli]

Same anon that asked about spam reports earlier, I meant like inactive Tumblr accounts

Hi again! well I think the staff does not distinguish between an active or inactive blog, as long as the flag is validated as spam, the post will be deleted. And normally, a blog is deleted after several validated reports, so yes.

#for example when artists report for copyright infringement (not really a spam but it's another form of report) #- if the blog got many reports for that it'll normally get removed #and I think it's the same for spam #ask #anon #I hope it helps :) but don't hesitate to ask to the staff directly - they're open to discussion (I did it many times)

[saessenach]

I already wrote it in tags but I want l say it anon: thank you so much for sharing your rhaelya content. You art is amazing and gorgeous in general but, you know, it is always special when an artist decides to like a (your) ship and you end up with stunning content for it. Your lyanna is the one that comes into my mind when I read and write fics. ❤️

The past couple of days have been rough, but please know that getting this absolutely brightened my day ❤️

I love creating faces, and Jon/Lyanna/Rhaegar were some of my favourites to work on. That is a huge compliment for me and I'm so happy you liked them??

I hope today is kind to you, nonnie ✨✨

#anonymous #there were a lot of hours spent figuring out which features Jon got from Lya and which from Rhaegar kskska #swordsandarms can attest to those as i spam them A LOT and they're endlessly gracious about it #'so what do we think about this nose? right' #'next' #but ahh this sparked a lot of joy!! #thank you for the kind words #and DAMN i should draw lyanna more #asks

bored . want attention . or alternatively , want to give attention to somebun else

#➳ the fool speaks #whenever i say i want attention i also mean getting attention via giving others attention so they're happy #always . because others being happy w me and thinking of me positively is others being happy w me and thinking of me positively ^__^ #no matter if it's cuz I'm spamming them w asks w things i like about them OR if they genuinely like me for . well . me . #i mean that 2nd one nawt applying is kinda depressing and may make me split on them but heyyyyy emotion boost in the moment

[anomiidae]

listen I could make this a literal essay but I won't. tl;dr: I don't get why people get so angry about the concepts of demons or monsters being nice. for starters, if you read mythology, demons are pretty fucking chill; it's not all about fucking with humans. plus it's so boring to see the same plot regurgitated in movies and whatnot about evil demons wanting to ruin humans lives or some crap like that.

#look i'll admit i'm a nerd i love mythology and i love things based off or inspired by mythology! #but like...i'll be real. i've got some issues with religion from how i was raised. i don't like mainstream religion #i was raised with the idea of a god who doesn't seem very kind. at least if they're anything like the followers - i'm not interested! #but demonic and pagan deities seem so human. they do good and bad things. they love and they hate. that feels more real to me #of course this is super watered down sparknotes version of this train of thought and everyone's entitled to their own opinions! #but i'm so tired of 'why are the demons nice' or 'i wanted them to be mean' well i don't. even if fictional versions! #the world is cruel already man maybe i want to believe in kind gods. don't care where they come from (though i am pretty biased to be fair) #like...real demons have nuance. they're not all what you'd consider evil. most teach things! i think they're pretty cool imo #anyway. no bothering me with spam messages about proselytizing or 'you're going to hell' don't care didn't ask go away #speech bubbles #ask me to tag

[spamsandsuch]

tbh to me popups are like bird...dolphin...dogs to me. Birdolphogs. “An addison’s best friend” as they say

#addisonposting #i mean sorta #animal ment #ask to tag #i doubt im the first person to think this esp with all of the popup + addison relationship content i see occasionally #i like to think they're kind of like a default pet for addisons #though they resemble a handful of animals they remind me of dogs for some reasons #of course not everybody addison has a popup nor do they want want one necessarily #percy for example has a tasque #and spamton to me is despite denying it is def a cat person #so it prefers tasques #which is funny cuz #poppups seem to be right up spam's alley right #but #he prolly finds them annoying #and stealing their spotlight #lol #poppups #my fanon things

[peachy-rambles]

Hi.

I know I haven't been active in quite a few months and I apologize. Life and stuff, you know. And maybe this was expected, but with the recent news, I'm officially going on hiatus now. Idk if I'll be back, we'll see how it goes, but I have no plans on deleting this blog at least.

I don't have much to say, I've never been good with deaths. Take the time you need to process the news and stay safe. I wish you all the best and hope you're doing ok ❤

#tw death #tw cancer #peachy said a thing #and to think I was gonna write today ahaha #also DO NOT go into other people's streams and spam about it or ask them about it #leave his friends and family alone #they're people too and we need to respect them #my dm's are open if anyone wants to talk #i'm not the best at it but just throwing it out there haha

[esoraluco]

im thinking of my 50s au again and thought of something

Blue has what he calls 'a side-gig' and barely mentions- because it's deeply embarrassing to him. But. He makes money by painting posts/greeting cards with cute animals on them like this

if spamt found out Blue would explode /negative bc he wants to appears as masculine as possible to everyone, but especially to spamt.

#thats a post i made! #I think as they grow closer with time spam eventually finds out and likes it a lot actually #so much so that he asked blue if he could draw a mouse (in this au spamt loves mice they're his fav animal) #he loved the result so much he framed it #dltr #blue addison #spamton #spamton g spamton #ua s05

[solidwater05]

You know, that anon sent a follow up ask, but 3 people reblogged my first answer to them and my urge to be funny is stronger than my urge to be right

#ice speaks #they also asked 'how would i feel if they spammed me saying that they're actually spamming solidwater; not niko' (paraphrased) #which is such a bad point that it makes me think that they're just trying to get me cancelled or something #if i had known that being popular meant lots of weird anons but nearly no reblogs i would have never wanted attention in the first place /hj

Fanfic Thieves on Youtube

A collection of youtube channels have been uploading preexisting fanfictions in videos with little to no credit to the original authors. These are not podfics, these channels copy-paste the fics into text-to-speech readers then upload the unaltered audio over static or unrelated backgrounds, either art that is also stolen or mobile game footage. In addition to not naming the authors, they alter the title to make it that much harder for readers to recognize or find the original uploads. Some go so far as to pretend they themselves are creating the fics in question. Many claim that their stealing actually helps give fics "exposure" despite the intentional steps they take to conceal the origins of the fics they profit off of. However, this practice has lead many authors to discontinue fics after the frustration of having their hard work stolen. Many of these channels claim they will remove videos upon request, but will either argue with the author in order to keep it up, or simply unlist the video for a time until they think the author isn't paying attention anymore. And their solution to receiving strikes against their channels in the past has been to further obfuscate the origins of their content instead of even considering asking first.

”I got caught stealing, so instead of not stealing anymore, I’m doubling down on stealing even more so it’s harder for people to find out and prove I’m stealing. Stealing doesn't count if the specific person I stole from didn't call me out. I am the real victim.”

That, plus the incessant tag scumming in all the videos (spamming unrelated tags in order to appear in more search results) proves to me that these are lazy attention seekers who don't want to put in creative effort when they could just leech off of the passion of others.

In order to report them, go to their channel's "About" page and click the flag icon. Said icon might be behind the three dots in the top bar on mobile. Go to "Report User" at the bottom and tick the "spam and scams" button. This will allow you to list multiple videos as offenders instead of reporting them individually. Youtube's policy states that video spam constitutes:

Massively uploading content that you scraped from other creators.

Auto-generated content that computers post without regard for quality or viewer experience.

If you recognize one of your fics among the stolen, say so in the additional comments box, and perhaps call out the channel directly in the video's comments. If you recognize someone else's fic, please let the original author know so they can report the channel as well. Many have been confronted for stealing previously and refuse to admit wrongdoing.

Most of what I've found has been My Hero Academia fics since that's my fandom and those are the ones I can recognize as stolen, but there are many other channels that steal from other fandoms, so I invite anyone and everyone to reblog this with their own findings.

The reality is that this extremely low-effort content and new youtube channels are both very easy to make, so most likely they'll start new channels once the ones on this list are run through. But hopefully, if we all work together and keep whacking these moles, perhaps we can instill that same defeatism they caused so many creators who didn't deserve it, and eventually they'll give up.

My sincerest thanks to everyone who helped bring additional channels to my attention. A special thanks to ao3 user InArduisFidelis who brought the initial attention to the issue, and @owlf45 whose work was stolen.

Links under the cut.

YurikoFanfics - Not only stole content, but acted in comments as though they were the one writing these stories.

https://href.li/?https://www.youtube.com/@YurikoFanfics

What-IF-Anime - Has the exact same "disclaimer" about not being the original author as the one above. Either they're the same person or the thieves are stealing from each other.

https://href.li/?https://www.youtube.com/@What-IF-Anime

quirkywhatif7 - Either an alt of the above, or all these people are talking to one another because this one made a community post identical to a comment the one above made in response to being called out (the above screenshots).

https://www.youtube.com/@quirkywhatif7/about

DekuFanfic - It's the same fucking guy again.

https://www.youtube.com/@DekuFanfic/about

InfiniteParadoxfanfics - Nothing notable, same deal as the others.

https://href.li/?https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteParadoxfanfics/about

WhatIfAnimeChannel - Admits in their community posts that other people write the fics they post but still doesn't give credit. Migrated to a new channel after issues with youtube, likely being flagged previously.

https://href.li/?https://www.youtube.com/@WhatIfAnimeChannel/about

WhatIfAnimeAll - Alt of above.

https://href.li/?https://www.youtube.com/@WhatIfAnimeAll

FWNWorld - Makes sure to tell you that the videogame footage is theirs, but can't bother to credit anyone else.

https://href.li/?https://www.youtube.com/@FWNWorld/about

WTFW - Claims to have "[A] team of talented writers, voice actors, and artists work together to create immersive fan fiction stories that are sure to captivate your imagination." Just the same test-to-speech stolen content over videogames. So straight up lying claiming that everything is theirs (and that anything they make is quality).

https://href.li/?https://www.youtube.com/@WTFW

MHA2.0Fanfics - Lots of crossover theft.

https://www.youtube.com/@MHA2.0Fanfics/about

Collerwhatiif - Pretty sure this one is the same guy as the previous 2, also has one for another fandom.

https://www.youtube.com/@Collerwhatiif/about

https://www.youtube.com/@GoJoFanfiction/videos

ko_sensei - Another that claims to have a "team" that makes the stories they steal: " passionate about creating compelling and engaging fanfiction that explores the various "what ifs" in the anime universe."

https://www.youtube.com/@ko_sensei/about

FantasticWhatIf - Multifandom stealing, uses the exact same bs disclaimer as many others.

https://www.youtube.com/@FantasticWhatIf/about

LettuceHeadFanfics - No credit, no acknowledgement of anything. Next one is an alt.

https://www.youtube.com/@LettuceHeadFanfics/about

brocollifanfics - Alt of above, once again admits to stealing with a declaration of "☆If you want to takedown any videos. You can mail us or leave a comment below the video☆"

https://www.youtube.com/@brocollifanfics/about

whatifofficial786 - Focuses on MHA/Naruto crossovers. Identical format.

https://www.youtube.com/@whatifofficial786/about

NotWhatIf - I've lost track of who's an alt of who but yet another identical format, descriptions, and bullshit claims of "enhancing the viewer experience" by putting a robot voice over bootleg fortnite footage.

https://www.youtube.com/@NotWhatIf/about

weebxds - Same again.

https://www.youtube.com/@weebxds/about

ItachiFanfics - Naruto channel, we can at least confirm that this one is run by a human given the rare different descriptions and a real voice at the beginning of videos before the robot comes back.

https://www.youtube.com/@ItachiFanfics/about

WhatIfDN - As if mockingly, a bunch of videos have a "credit" section in their descriptions that is of course blank.

https://www.youtube.com/@WhatIfDN/about

SpiceandBooks and spiceandfiction - Apparently Youtube itself has started picking up on the bullshit, because this multifandom channel is being dinged as ai spam so they started a new one.

https://www.youtube.com/@SpiceandBooks/about

https://www.youtube.com/@spiceandfiction/about

theoriginalastra - Doesn't even bother with disclaimers, the following are multiple alts/potential alts for different fandoms.

https://www.youtube.com/@theoriginalastra/about

SillySenpai12 - Highschool DXD alt.

https://www.youtube.com/@SillySenpai12/about

RosieRealms - Naruto alt.

https://www.youtube.com/@RosieRealms/about

DekuWhatIfs - Potentially another astra alt but not sure, doesn't matter because all these channels do the same thing anyway.

AnimeStark688 - No credits or disclaimers.

https://www.youtube.com/@AnimeStark688/about

Please take the time to report these channels, spread this post around, and reblog with any additional offending channels you find.

honestly i think a HUGE part of the issue is that most of the left doesn't really understand antisemitism

after wwii it became wildly Unpopular to be blatantly antisemitic. obviously, it still happened. but the result of this is that instead of antisemitism being studied as a historical and pervasive form of oppression that has been around for thousands of years & has many many precedents BEFORE the holocaust.... it became:

something just simply Rude to say or do. if you're a polite liberal/conservative or a leftist, it's just something that is socially unacceptable. there is no real weight to this.

something when FIRMLY believed is ONLY held by people like nazis and white supremacists. who, as we know, are The Enemy and none of us can ever be like them at all ever by the virtue of... not being them. no need to watch your own behaviors, bc you are not a nazi! only nazis could ever be Actually antisemitic

something that erupted out of the ground in germany in the early 20th century, culminated with the holocaust, and ended after. antisemitism did not exist before that and it was solved after when the saving grace of the united states and england liberated the jews from the nazis out of the goodness of their hearts

however absolutely none of this is true. antisemitism stretches back thousands of years and it has not, for the most part, been only "fringe" conspiracy theorists and white supremacists who perpetuate it

antisemitism has been, by and large, presented as very logical. throughout, again, the thousands of years of history of antisemitism, very regular people have been antisemites. and most of them had reasons they felt were perfectly logical and understandable and most of all just. jews were trying to kill their children, of course they hated them! jews were purposefully trying to keep them poor, of course they hated them! jews believed Wrong Things and were morally and spiritually corrupt, of course there was something wrong with them. jews betrayed their country, lost them a war that ended with their husbands and brothers and sons dead, and now were living among them and taking advantage of social benefits out of the goodness of the hearts of the german people, of COURSE they hated them! and the nazis themselves were backed up by science at the time. scientific racism was THE science at the time. charles darwin was a scientific racist. it was all very logical.

and did jews actually do these things? no. but these people saw enough proof that aligned well enough with their morals and their beliefs and their fears & so to them it was completely logical and justified. it wasn't a fringe theory that only an insane person would believe in, or something impolite. it was true to them. to their morals, to their fears, to their core beliefs. it was true.

and so now we see a LOT. a lot of leftists being dragged ass first into antisemitism. because they don't even think they CAN be antisemitic. THEY aren't nazis and THEY aren't white supremacists, of COURSE they aren't antisemitic. but... well. the jews are doing things that go against their morals. they're doing things that validate their fears. the jews are violating things that go against their core beliefs! so of COURSE it is LOGICAL that they should hate them. of course, it is still rude to say "the jews are evil" so it gets replaced with "zionist". (and before you ask yes i am anti-zionism and do deeply believe what israel is doing is unjust and cruel) but even that is slipping.

it is getting all the more popular to go that one step further and instead of just making posts like "spam the hanukkah tag because the Zionists need to learn what their religion stands for" that are blatantly just replacing "jews" with "zionists", they are logically moving to being mask off. if zionism is wrong and half the world's remaining jewish population lives in israel, what about the rest? aren't they suspect? would they not ALL commit atrocities if given the chance? aren't they all racist for believing they're an ethnicity? aren't they all complicit? aren't they all threatening our deeply held leftist beliefs? it's a little weird and everyone has been too quiet for too long bc it's been rude to say but now you can get 300k notes for posting blood libel so why would you keep quiet anymore?

why WOULDN'T you just say "thank god someone finally said it i was worried about stepping on toes" when someone makes a post full of antisemitic conspiracy theory. why WOULDN'T you say "i don't care if all of israel gets bombed and every single person dies after this lmfao they deserve it"? (which would wipe out, again, half the world's population of jews- many of whom living there are anti-zionist and actively protesting their government. or. you know. children.) why WOULDN'T you make posts about how jewish identity is just nazi aryanism? why wouldn't you make posts about how the jews are privileged in america bc they run hollywood and the economy? why WOULDN'T you say the star of david is a hate symbol to you now and that you mistrust anyone using it? or that you find anyone speaking hebrew suspect?

these are all perfectly logical. to you. and YOU are not a nazi or a white supremacist. so it can't be antisemitic.

#antisemitism #long post #yall are just fucking exhausting and im going to go on a blocking spree in a moment but truly and deeply #just fucking think for two seconds about what you say
