There’s like a 1:1 overlap between people who think speech should be further restricted and people who actively engage in speech that’s already not protected like libel and death threats etc.
honestly, this was so time-consuming buuuuut whatever it was fun haha
well, I was trying to put together a style and I think it like…. semi-worked?? I still have things I need to work on adding into the style correctly but so far I guess it’s aight.
Not sure whether I should be proud of this or not but rn I kinda am, let’s hope I don’t change my mind u g H
Repeat after me: – Veganism is not affordable – Veganism is not cruelty free – Veganism is not the best choice for everyone
Repeat after me -I’m an idiot and wrong. -Veganism can be made affordable. –Veganism is fucking cruelty free. That’s what it’s all about. – Veganism is the best choice for everyone, if everyone did it. -I’m a fucking asshole for making this completely wrong text post and should shut the hell up now.
People are literally starving in South America because all the Quinoa crop is being exported mainly for white vegans who want to live “cruelty-free” but don’t care about brown people as much as they do about animals.
plus, 4 of the 8 most common food allergies (soy, wheat, peanuts, and tree nuts) are common vegan substitutes.
I changed his colours because actually I’d prefer it to look more macabre than bright!
ANYWAYS
WOOT
So! I’ve been on Adobe Animate recently because I still refuse to give up the idea of animating! Anyways, I managed to make a sorta… Default eye? As a symbol! Being SUPER curious to try it out I quickly drew a bonnie head and shifted the colours around to his eye colour. IT’S SO FUNNNN! I also made a few set colours for Bonnie, like his shading- since it’d be cell shading!
Hey this kinda looks like a PFP too! Use it if you want of course!
if you reblog the todd howard version of this, idk youre not smart
Care to explain who this guy is then? I’m sure he’s Howard’s boss or something and actually more culpable but without context he just looks like some white guy I’d run into at Autozone
It’s Pete Hines, who is in every Bethesda presentation so it’s hard to believe you don’t know him. He’s the vice president of Bethesda, and head of PR relations and marketing. So he deals with every business oriented thing, while Todd is an executive game director and producer, who doesn’t involve himself much in the corporate side I’m sure.
I would say Pete Hines is more culpable and at fault for the mess regarding refunds of 76, the nylon bag issue of the power armor edition. And So On.
If you want to continue to rag on Todd, at least realize who’s more in charge because it isn’t him. It’s Pete.
what society needs to understand is that friendship and romance are not ranks, tiers, or levels. they are not above or below each other. romance is not a promotion. friendship is not a demotion. romance is not “more than” being friends with someone. friendship and romance are concepts that exist on equal terms, side by side. sometimes they happen to coincide. other times they never intersect at all. how relationships are classified is up to the individuals involved but like?? neither is inherently more or less valuable is the thing
People over 50, demonstrating endless patience explaining things to young people who never ever in their entire life knew or spoke to these definitely non human aliens, people over 50.
BTW, in a few weeks I’ll be 69. Is it the time yet to weave a cocoon, shrivel up and die? I decided not to, since there’s still much smut on AO3 to enjoy, and the YOI movie did not come out yet, and then there’s that, you know, other thing… that three letter word starting with s…
I get that the asker may honestly have no idea about… let’s call it “middle-life sexuality.” I mean, the asker is statistically most likely to be an American teenager, and fuck knows (ha) that our country is TERRIBLE at sex education. So them not knowing anything about it doesn’t surprise me; they likely don’t even know much about how their own body works.
But this isn’t a question about people over 50 feeling sexual attraction or wanting to read/write porn; it’s a question about whether women are recognizablyhumanonce they’re no longer youthful. It’s misogyny right down to its core.
I don’t blame the asker. They’ve been soaking in it their whole life.
I wonder what they think they’ll do when they get older, regarding both sex and fandom. Like the people who say “you’re too old for fandom” – do they think they’ll ever be too old for fandom, or sex? Do they truly believe that at a certain age they themselves will flip a switch and never want sex again, never write fanfic, and only be interested in work and children and shit? Is it that they don’t think they’ll ever age, or are they simply afraid that this is what will happen to them?
No and no. The only feeling you have after you hit 50 is a deep feeling of utter contempt for the young.
Okay, maybe I should tone down the salt, because it’s just possible you don’t really know how ageist and rude this is.
First, I’m going to answer this like it wasn’t rude. People over 50 are…people. They fall on the same sexual spectrums (gender and orientation and all that good stuff) that people under 50 do. Obviously people change as they age—emotionally, mentally and physically,—but trust someone who’s been in fandom since 1995 and has been sexually active (in one way or another) since 1976, plenty of older people read and write porn, and plenty of them look at attractive people and think “yeah she could get it.” If that is, indeed, the correct phrase. Sure there are people over 50 who aren’t sexual, just like there are people under 50 who aren’t sexual, but plenty of us are still interested in reading, writing and doing the sex.
Now…I’m going to go a little deeper, because this is just a fucking weird question. It is all but impossible, if you engage with pop culture at all, to be unaware that men over 50 like to consume and create porn. Jesus fucking Christ, if you watch TV at all, you know men over 50 feel sexual attraction in real life. There’s a whole branch of pharmacology dedicated to making sure they can act in that attraction. On this very hellsite, I’ve seen a lot of posts complaining about the age of actors compared to the age of the actresses playing their love interests. I can’t check my newsfeed without seeing a woman who is literally in the news because a man over 50 had sex with her and then paid her to not tell anyone about it.
Harvey Weinstein is 66, for fuck’s sake.
So I suspect the “people” you’re asking about are women, specifically women in fandom. I don’t know if I’m being asked to furnish proof that women over 50 aren’t really active in fan fiction and therefore what we say about fandom can be disregarded or if I’m being asked to furnish proof that women over 50 in fandom are actively sexual and therefore can be thought of as predatory, but either way, this is weird.
I’ve said this before, I know that having old people around when you are a young person can be weird and annoying. We can come off as judgmental, condescending and dismissive. Our weary cynicism can really harsh the buzz of youthful enthusiasm and that’s a drag sometimes. We post selfies and we have saggy boobs and grooves around our mouths and young women don’t always like seeing the future like that, especially when we also bitch about our health or our kids or jobs or the dreams we had to leave behind. Politically, especially if we’re white, we make you wonder who we voted for and if we really have your backs when it comes to social justice issues.
I get all that. And I could go on a rant about how important older women have been to fandom and how you literally would not have it if not for women who were in their fifties in 1975, but those rants are a dime a dozen on tumblr and while I do understand being uncomfortable around older women, I refuse to apologize for my presence in a space I have helped create over the years. I refuse to justify myself when I shouldn’t have to.
If this is a genuine question and you’re upset by my ranting, I do apologize. However, while it isn’t talked about much in Tumblr SJW circles, ageism is real and I see it all the time on this site. Think about all the misconceptions about your own generation and how annoying it is when some stupid article acts like you’re part of an Other monolith.
tl;dr: Many people over 50 enjoy reading and writing smut and many of them still feel sexual attraction. Thank you for asking this question, although since I a) list my age as 55 on my bio, b) link to my almost 3 millions words of smut on AO3, you had the answer to the first part, like, literally in front of you.
Though The Villages – which spans three counties with 40,000 homes and more than 70,000 residents – boasts 34 golf courses, nine country clubs, two downtown squares and a slew of restaurants and bars, getting lucky is one of the residents’ primary pastimes.
The huge complex began growing rapidly in the mid-1990s, and reported cases of gonorrhea rocketed from 152 to 245, of syphilis rose from 17 to 33, and of chlamydia from 52 to 115 among those 55 and older in Florida from 1995 to 2005.
We had an entire show in the 80s about this.
Tumblr is atrociously agesist and it’s the one phobia that’s never called out or rallied against. Instead it’s the opposite; 20-somethings try to make older people feel uncomfortable for living in a space they literally created. They accuse us of being predatory, or gross, for enjoying LGBT content as much as anyone else, because that LGBT content usually stars 20-somethings. Yet they refuse to acknowledge that older LGBT people are never portrayed in media and never represented – once again due to ageism, especially in women. So basically the voice of 20-somethings on tumblr says : “this stuff is too young for you old gross people, we don’t care that you made this space safe enough for this content to exist, we don’t care that you have no alternatives in your own age bracket – please just die”
