Me: *BANSHEE SHRIEKING*

I'm going to lead a fucking creator's revolution do not tempt me.

Many great writers have given good and positive advice, but if all else fails here is a secret evil truth:
If you go and read something by an overconfident straight white dude who failed upwards despite producing inescapably mediocre work, you may find that spite can be a horrible motivator

"People speak highly of you, Voidra."

WHYYYYYY THO!?

Additional context to this is that people in the games industry *inexplicably* like me, and I have genuinely no idea why.

Which sounds like fishing but it *isn't*. I'm not doing anything. I just exist here like a perpetually confused black cat that can pretend to be social for a few hours at a time

'Why didn't anyone stop them' comment is REALLY FUCKING CULTURALLY RELEVANT.

One of the most interesting things I have been told is that, as an academic and as a 'professional', I need to present myself in a certain way.

But what if I didn't. What if I just... got mad. At people. Specifically.

The reason they want to ban smut books is because smut books are surrounded by conversations about safe, informed, and consensual sex, how to maintain healthy relationships, red flag vs green flag behaviour, and it allows women to recognise when stuff is b a d.

That's why they want to ban it.

Abso-fucking-lutely. My partner isn't even into BDSM but the moment we do anything vaguely kinky he's always 'You're SURE you want this? Okay I just need to hear you SAY it one more time'.

Please don't perform as an intellectual when you can't acknowledge a clickbait title in a world that is currently experiencing massive financial upheaval and living insecurity due to wanton advancements of technology done in complete disregard for the human cost.

'In a demonstration of the advancement of technology, bipedal robots can now reliably run marathons at speed'.

That's not a clickbait title. Please don't pretend this isn't a clickbait title.

And?

LISTEN. Listen. It can happen REAL FAST ok?

You know the weirdest thing about that '65 million hits' website fuckmare?

There's... there's a whole kink for that. Some women have a whoooole kink for that. Safely and consensually. SAFELY AND CONSENSUALLY. A WHOLE KINK.

It's not that they didn't get consent. They DON'T WANT IT.

But with Ryan Gosling who is a fucking gem of a human.

"I know the world is bad right now and you're scared, that's totally okay. A sentient rock alien will do a weird science buddy cop show with you and you'll save everything."

It's the cishet white man's head-pat of 'It's okay if you aren't brave, the cosmos will help you when you really need it'.

You don't need to monetise any of your hobbies. The push for 'side hustles' and to sell what people make is a capitalist mindset that cannot understand the act of *doing* to be the joy, and that anything that isn't geared toward profit is nonsensical.

Do it for joy.

Solidarity to the protesters and everyone in Qld who isn’t bowing to authoritarianism ✊

I can FEEL @veeswampwitch.bsky.social glaring at me from New Zealand. Stahp okay. I'M TRYING TO OFFLOAD IDEAS OK.

If I wrote up a whole game, with core systems, how they'd interact, and as much as possible, do you think I could just start... giving projects to devs that need to get themselves off the ground?

I dunno, I have HEAPS of narrative ideas, and I can do that work. Just not engine work.

This isn't cute. This is literally 'make sure he traps a different woman' mentality. They are looking for vulnerable women to literally relocate to another country and trap in a relationship with them. This isn't 'male loneliness', this is normalised predation.

In order to score a partner, they think they need to become *more* male, and take tips from other men, because the idea women have opinions they should value is antithetical to their doctrine.

So the only people who can change these people are other men.

These are not 'lonely men', these are men spoon-fed the idea that the only thing they have to do to find a partner is *exist*. The moment they have to put in work that extends beyond minimum effort, they balk. The idea of working or maintaining a relationship is categorially unthinkable to them.

How do we know? Because they have shifted their sight to other women who would become dependent. Literally finding 'traditional wives' to bring home to their own country and make them incredibly vulnerable and dependent upon them.

There is something really telling about this conversation that people aren't talking about. The 'frustration' is not because there are no women to date, but because culture has removed the entrapment of heterosexual relationships for these men.

Oh they don't care about you.
