ok i’m tired of this. as somebody who was also in the hazbin hotel NYCC room, this leak should not be pinned down on blake roman. irresponsible journalism is the reason ANYTHING happened. spoilers are SUPPOSED to be embargoed and talent is prepped beforehand if they can’t mention spoilers at all

Why is this a debate? Why is this an analysis? Why are we discussing his motivations or the reasoning behind why he has it or why he kept it? (These are all rhetorical questions.)

Nazi tattoo = you’re done.

It’s literally that simple. There’s no nuance or further conversation needed.

With SNAP benefits probably ending for millions of people it’s crucial to donate what you can to your local food banks. People will be relying on them for so much and they need our support.

Speaking of being poor, people please donate to local food banks, many of us on SNAP will not get funds for groceries next month because of the government shutdown. It’s absolutely ridiculous that families will starve because of the government having a temper tantrum.

Disabled people should be allowed to get married without losing our healthcare. We shouldn’t have to choose between weddings and staying alive. In 2025 we still have no marriage rights or property rights. We never have, and it’s total shit. Fuck Eugenics, we deserve so much better.

Been, even. My friend Metis did a big post at one point talking about all the times showing Moxxie wasn't a bad shot like Ayy claimed he was in Antarctica (showing that Moxxie never misses and when he does it's intentional) and Ayy DELETED the analysis post bc it was in response to his shit claim.

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

Kimberly Atkins Stohr @kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social · 1d

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

You’ll never convince me that human beings are supposed to be working THIS hard, at this frequency, and for as long as we’ve become accustomed to. We are all so exhausted with no time to actually take care of ourselves or for each other. This shit hasn’t been normal for a while!

Whenever you see hateful posts on social media, please remember that about 50% of internet activity is now AI/bots, so it's likely that it isn't even a real person. Don't fall for the crap that's trying to divide us, just ignore (block) and move on.

- Imo it’s quite far to go, if Viv was also *that* against unionizing

Meanwhile I’m seeing actual SH employees spreading Viv‘s support and thanking her for it, and also literally speak out against the idea that they did this *against* her

I’ve blocked this chud, because I found them -

My beloved girlfriends instagram page has been nuked to death in the algorithm, flagging completely SFW photos as inappropriate content and killing her reach. Her cosplay work is incredible and deserves so much love. Please follow her IG page, comment on her photos, share, etc. 🖤

Those who seek to censor art (in any form) have a fundamental misunderstanding of what art actually is and how it has shaped society.

I wish that basic Art History was mandatory education. Freedom of expression should never be stunted.

Calling Viv stupid and immature and telling her she needs a psychiatrist when you are enjoying HER CHARACTERS AND STORY. She has all the right to voice her opinion, y'all aren't kids who need to be babied! Also, personally I think YOU are the one who needs psychiatric help.

Apparently some people are leaving the fandom because of Viv’s ship post. My god new fandoms are so fragile, deadass we didn’t used to care back in the day.

I blame the increase of normies in fandom because holy shit y’all are not built for this if this is your breaking point.

Did you guys know that bisexual characters are often stereotyped as swingers and cheaters who will drop their current relationship to be with their partner's opposite?

Do you know how it would look to imply that Moxxie should validate his bisexuality by divorcing Millie?

As a side effect, it's making it harder for victims to discuss their trauma, forcing people who have triggers to either block common and completely unrelated words or get retraumatized, and it protects abusers by making it harder to educate people.
