replaying ARR has made me really desperately curious to know how much got changed/added in translation/localization... because i know some crazy stuff was done - for example, the original english text for the moenbryda minion had the implication that urianger made the minion as a sex toy (???!!!!!), and luckily this was later fixed to be closer to the actual japanese text. but that is such a dramatic example of a translation choice made in very poor taste. there's of course the infamous hien dialogue where he calls yotsuyu's trafficker a good guy in english. one thing in ARR that stunned me is in the part where you're gearing up to rescue the scions from castrum centri, and the guy helping you REALLY hates the garleans - and eventually it's revealed that he's from ala mhigo, and he and his family were put into labor camps, and his mother & sister were made to be comfort women for imperial soldiers! holy shit! that's fucking horrible! gaius was the viceroy of ala mhigo and set up its occupational government - did gaius condone that? with the context of the actual historical japanese empire's atrocities, that makes the sorrow of werlyt storyline really, deeply suspect! but also - i don't know if that's the original intended text, or something that the english version added to make the garlean empire look bad that then came back to bite it in the ass later on (from my first 2 examples, one could surmise that the english translation has a tendency to introduce weird sex stuff that wasn't in the original japanese text - but it also desexualized certain things, such as haurchefant). and i don't know what other translations/localizations added, subtracted, or changed. especially because there's sooooo much text in this game. but also translations/localizations have lives and characters of their own - they are not inherently inferior versions of the text. i don't have a thesis statement here, im just thinking out loud. such is blogging

I think it's general knowledge at this point that Tsams Twitter and Tsams TikTok are very toxic sides of the fandom. Granted, Twitter and TikTok people are just nasty overall. But let me tell you, I didn't expect to experience that level of toxicity on Tsams Instagram.

I tend to ignore hateful comments about my OC x Canon, specifically my OC x Eclipse, art posts but overtime, they got so much worse. They have a problem with my OC because she's female and likes the color peach which is a "girly girl" color. They kept shoving it to me that Eclipse was implied canon gay, therefore, I am "homophobic" for erasing his sexuality to ship him with my female OC. That is a serious accusation to make and if that reaches the wrong audience, then I would have more people harassing me. They called me the r-slur, called my OC a prostitute slut because of her being feminine, and many more name calling to me and my OC.

TW mention of rape

But what really boggled my mind the most were these two comments of theirs:

Eclipse is so gay that he wouldn't even grape(censored word for rape in Instagram) you or your OC. (Seriously, wtf?)

Eclipse called Earth a whore. What made you think that he likes women at all? He couldn't have been more obvious. (They casually perpetuated the stereotype that all gay men are misogynistic. Again, wtf?)

It's safe to say that I might be moving to Tumblr at this point.

AITA For Not Tagging a Work?

I, 32F, write primarily for my own enjoyment, my main platform being AO3. I currently have a multi-chaoter series that includes several major plot twists, including one that includes non-con. To avoid spoiling it, because I believe my stories deserve to be read with as little background info as possible, I only tag it as "Creator CHOSE not to Include Archive Warnings". Which is, as I hope is obvious, is not synonymous with "There Are No Warnings". The point is, I don't use the Rape/Non-con tag. Recently, I got a very upset reader in my comments complaining about how triggering that chapter of my work is, and that's where I have a problem. I believe the corporate obsession content warnings pervading even fanworks to be a major problem. I don't want to sanitize my work, but I do get that they contain pretty heavy themes. But I feel like I seriously do give my stories a disservice by adding labels on them, and maybe I am the asshole for this, but I value my pride and joy (my work) over strangers online. AITA?

What are these acronyms?

A few months after arriving, she said, she was raped by the man who wrote the letter of invitation that had gotten her out of the war zone.

“She was sleeping and he woke her up and roughly dragged her into his room,” says Olga Udovichenko, whom Svetlana later approached for help at the Volunteer Help Center for Refugees from Ukraine in Haifa. “She suffered deeply from both the war and the rape — but here she could barely get any assistance from the authorities. Instead of help she encountered a maze of bureaucracy and lost any motivation she had to hold the man to account and seek justice.”

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 is estimated to have killed more than 40,000 civilians and displaced up to 30 million more. As the war surpasses 300 days, 17.7 million Ukrainians around the world need humanitarian help and protection, according to the United Nations.

Svetlana is one of over 47,000 Ukrainians — the vast majority of them women — who traveled to Israel since the start of the invasion but who are not eligible for citizenship under Israel’s Law of Return, according to Israel’s Welfare Ministry. Of these, only approximately 15,000 currently remain in Israel, with the rest having chosen to leave. Not a single Ukrainian fleeing the war has been accorded refugee status by Israel.

A Times of Israel investigation has documented cases of rape, sexual harassment, workplace exploitation and other abuses faced in Israel by these women, many of whom have had their homes destroyed and lost their livelihoods. At least one of the women’s lives ended in death by suicide.

Many of these abuses remain at best under the radar of the authorities or at worst willfully ignored, leaving the victims in a cycle of violence and poverty that only deepens the trauma they have endured to date. The perpetrators remain free to commit further crimes.

1st rape cases have been debunked to death

2nd I call it 75 years of oppression against the Palestinian people leads to violent resistance against an apartheid state and of which no one is to blame but the terrorist state, which is the Israeli regime, for allowing this to go on and then have the audacity to victimize itself and murder 20.000 Palestinians under the pretense of self-defense.

3rd I hope Israel knows no peace for the amount of blood it spilled to keep the settler state alive.

AITA for going "too far" in an eRP?

Me (19F) and a friend (almost 16F) have done a sizable amount of erotic roleplays (we mostly do sfw ones don't call me a creep). Around a week ago I asked if I could do a twist on our usual scenarios and she gave me the go-ahead. We started like usual until I brought up that the twist would be that it would be noncon. Suddenly she lashed out at me, asking "what the fuck is wrong with you" and immediately ceasing contact. I've tried messaging her saying what she said really hurt me but she hasn't responded in 4 days. Was I the asshole for not knowing something would upset her THAT bad?

What are these acronyms?

Richard Dawkins' meltdown in the early 2010s was so prophetic for what would happen to *gestures at every old British celebrity* in the past few years. Within just a few years he went from quietly respected to giving interviews where he ranks which types of rape are the worst, calling a Muslim teen wrongfully arrested for playing with a clock a "ISIS child soldier", and repeatedly trying to shut down feminists by using Muslim women as a blunt object to say they don't have it so bad so stop complaining, all while doing a lot of "I don't believe [bad thing], I'm just asking questions, y'know" on the side

Confirming all that I learned that he promoted a conference run by evangelical Christian Nationalists in 2019 since, while he "didn't support their religious beliefs", he did support their speaker's rants about "post-modernism", which. That checks out tbh

Far be it for me to kinkshame a dragon. But perhaps this is an indication that 2024 should be the Year of Sexualize That Old Man. Put Him In Situations
