all hate to tiktok for taking 'having a space to more openly and actively talk about different cultures' to mean 'cultures are NOT to be shared and we must be vigilantly defensive of our cultures for fear of appropriation, a word that can be applied to any multicultural interaction'. like of course cultural appropriation is a very real problem but ive seen with the access to global multicultural conversation that tiktok provides it's made people TERRIFIED to even interact with cultures other than their own for fear of 'doing it wrong'. like at some point you have to acknowledge that in the real world of the great outdoors, the majority of people are eager to SHARE their cultures. yes there are ignorant questions and biases but also... how do you think those things get unlearnt? i dont understand how deciding that multiculturalism is an elephant in the room instead of a normal thing that should just be talked about and lived with is supposed to benefit anyone? and kids on tiktok are CONVINCED that it's a time bomb of a conversation to have and therefore must be avoided at all costs but like. people generally LOVE their home and their culture and are PROUD of it and want to share it. how have we made it so that showing genuine interest and a desire to understand something so integral to a person's identity is now feared and borderline demonised?

and while I’m at it, I’m begging you people to understand that when baeddels say “transmasc” and “cafabs” they mean all afab trans people.
multigender, abinary, atrinary, and female-aligned afab trans people are implicated under “cafabs” and “transmasc” in baeddel posts just as much as actual transmascs and trans men are.
and, quite frankly, 9 times out of 10, “trans men” and “tbros” also include non-men in baeddel posts.
baeddels don’t care about how we identify. we reject womanhood to various degrees, and as far as baeddels are concerned, that makes us all men.

the thing is when you are learning to make games in a professional capacity you are constantly getting told to scop down, scope down, do less nope make that smaller, bring it down some more, do less
and this isn't in a punching down and stamping on your ~creativity~ kinda way, this is just a 'be realistic about the amount of work you can achieve in the time you have' and 'work smarter not harder' kinda way. Also you should scope down to the most simplest mechanic you can when you're learning how to make stuff.

me: break time!
also me, moments later: OK BUT! when is someone going to take it upon themselves to lay in his lap when he's sitting on his sofa in his study (it doesnt matter what he was doing before or if he grumps at all about it) and let him idly play with their hair

Just got hit with the sudden realization that my birthday is in two weeks and I'll most likely not have that day off bc my boss is a stuck-up homophobic abelist who only cares about himself and is slowly killing the business and employee moral just by being there.
