I'm upset that this keeps happening. Bullies keep thinking they can get their way by abusing systems meant for safety, not harassing minorities. Everything's slanted towards harassing minorities, and this keeps happening. People fail to recognize the bullies for what they are, but I see it clearly.

So tropicarcade.cool apparently got jealous about the awesome @tygre.baby being on the front page on twitch and is now spreading misinformation and hate towards her. That's totally unacceptable. BTW, you don't get on the front page willy-nilly, twitch selected her to be here, no TOS were broken.

This happens regularly?!

I paid for a subscription. Twitch better pay me back from the pockets of those people who issued false reports, including false reports against every single one of Tygre's emoticons. I'm tired of the world letting bullies have their way. Reality is not Middle school.

There was absolutely no kink in the stream. This is the Gay Panic Defense - the existence of it doesn't make it sexual, or a problem. I saw the stream myself. It was on Twitch's front page, they watch it, too. Her channel was taken down today after mass reporting.

Tygre hasn't broken any rules. Bullies, people who lie, people who promote hatred and harassment need to be deplatformed and systems need to be rewritten so bullshit reporting doesn't hinder creators, or their business. I paid for a subscription to Tygre's stream. I expect to be compensated.

I saw the stream. Saw nothing that would break Twitch's guidelines. Also, Twitch investigates people for the front page - they didn't find anything wrong with her content. It appears to be a bot response to the troll army. People mentioned Kiwi Farms on her Twitter, that's the most likely source.

I can't wait for a world that moves beyond repeated cycles of hatred and harassment, target-switching, bullying, and incessant need to harm. Moving beyond this is not beyond our capacity - it's possible right now. Bullies are the problem. Their targets are always good, kind, incredible people.

Sotalo @sotalo.bsky.social · 13h

Tygre's stream gets removed... but this bullshit bullying gets permitted? It takes no effort to be kind and no effort to leave. People who waste their energy on hatred will never amount to anything. Bullies have always been a blight on humanity, and history will always remember them that way.

Today, she answered many questions, and just chat with the community. Many new people who found her are coming to terms with their identity. If the internet gets any more "conservative," minorities will always get hurt, despite the incredible good they do for so many people.

Tygre's stream was incredible. Yesterday she sang Billy Joel's So It Goes, climbed to the top of the ranked leaderboards in Geoguessr, and nailed a 5K the moment the front page promotion ended. Many people are learning about the Fandom through our popular streamers, and her outreach empowered many.

Sotalo @sotalo.bsky.social · 13h

This is not OK. After an astonishing stream on Twitch's front page yesterday, haters raided @tygre.baby today and mass reported her channel to get it removed. Nothing lewd on it at all.

We know haters are the scourge of the internet. Can platforms shut down the hate, please? THEY ARE THE PROBLEM.

"If we're fighting each other, we're not ever going to get anywhere."

It's nice to see others finally realize the goal of propaganda is chaos and infighting, which prevents growth and progress. If we band together and agree on progress, we could easily have that instead of what we have now.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Fellow artists, I want to give a nudging reminder to take time and enjoy your creations. Find pieces you're most proud of and remember why you created them. That burning passion to create works of magic from imagination should never be forgotten.

He's soooooo cute!!!! I wanna squeeze him!!!

I'd love to add your story to the display! Please reach out to me and we'll discuss!

There is a display in the museum dedicated to Furs of Color! On tours, when he's available, Shymatsi talks about the problems of masculinity in African American culture, and the power Lil Nas X and other high-profile genderfluid celebrities are having in breaking down the stigma.

If you had the opportunity to have any exhibit added to the Virtual Furry Museum, what would it be, and why?

Sotalo @sotalo.bsky.social · 2d

PVC is an unstable plastic that always outgasses. It's cheap, but ruins the integrity of anything you put in it. That gas mixes with inks and brighteners in the paper to accelerate yellowing and fading.

BOPP plastic and cardboard containers are much more stable and fit for long-term storage.

I had intended on posting this sooner but I had to forcibly detach myself from him XD. It’s surreal to be hugging myself!

Made by the amazing @crunchchute.bsky.social! He’s absolutely perfect, I cannot thank you enough!

This is legitimately healing 💙💙💙
