How long will this suffering continue? How long will this people have to face the machinery of death and destruction with meager resources against a massive military arsenal?

Isn't it time for the pain to end? Isn't it time for the bloodshed to stop? Isn't it time for children to sleep in peace, and for mothers to know their sons are safe?

If I vanish tomorrow, remember I begged the world with just a dot “.”

Apologies if this is off topic, but I'm finding it really frustrating how posts like this only go around in response to discussions around racism in regards to these creators. Like I don't know much at all about gooseworx, but I know Toby Fox was very lightly criticized for not having an official spanish translation after 10 years of undertale being out and relying on fans to translate it for him (in the form of fan translations) and the utter disregard that shows for fans that speak spanish

How are we even supposed to have discussions around racism in fandom if it just gets dismissed out of hand to preserve the comfort people have with the material they're fans of.

I'm not sure how to even approach things like this. I don't support dogpiling obviously but people criticize indie creators because they like them and want them to improve and to have conversations about race in fandom. How is that lolcow behavior???

We have had this conversation numerous times by now. You can't force people who want willfully overlook (and contribute to) racism to be reasonable. Just remind yourself that there is no Not Talking About It. That's just tolerating bigotry for the sake of comfort, like you said. It's the Book or the Brick, my friend!

The situation: confront said person and tell them that their behavior is racist, and they-

Book: -make the choice to acknowledge the situation and learn to do better. It's hard, they're upset, but they recognize they have to learn to do better. This person has accepted the book (knowledge and antiracism!)

Brick: -decide to blow up and make excuses and 'theyre not racist' and everyone in the world is blaming them and deflect and blah blah blah... And get hurt when people treat them like the bigot they have chosen to be. This person has chosen the brick (public derision + more!)

These people have chosen the brick, to me. 🤷🏾‍♀️ If they want to defend themselves with "it's lolcow behavior you're chasing people away", let them say that... While you treat them like the bigot they are. Maybe if you think racism is funny, you SHOULDN'T be a creator. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I thought we kicked Nazis out of bars.

i put them on my front door and anytime it opens they ring. that way if i think someone has broken in or i see someone who isn’t there i can think back to if the bells have rung, and if they haven’t i can assure myself it’s not real. obviously it’s not fool proof, like if you are prone to auditory hallucinations, but it has really helped me calm down in time to avoid major psychotic breaks. it’s a real lifesaver

i really don't have the words for how things have escalated to outright race riots in the last few weeks. just to collect a few of the stories the bbc is reporting in their live thread:

Families led to safety through flames (Dan Johnson) Homes were targeted and burned. Families had to be led to safety through the flames - rescued by emergency services risking their lives in the most dangerous situation. It’s what the authorities feared all day. What they warned against and pleaded not to see. The condemnation came quickly and was widespread. It wasn’t just homes, cars were also torched by young masked man in these predominantly unionist streets but the target here was immigrants and the message to entirely innocent families was: "You’re not welcome". In the north of the city, more people were forced to flee including an African family who’ve lived here for 20 years.

People being put out 'because they're black' - pastor A pastor who has been helping those in houses targeted in tonight's violence says people were being put out of their homes "because they're black". Pastor Jack McKee was at the scene where multiple houses were on fire around the Crumlin Road in north Belfast - he says some members of his church "who have been with us for 20 years" were "getting put out of their home, had their house attacked, windows smashed, houses beside them burned". "They're good Christian people and they're getting put out just because they're black," he says. "I'm doing my best to help them, it's as simple as that." [...]

Masked men shouting 'foreigners out' (Kelly Bonner) Last night on the Lower Newtownards Road in Belfast hundreds of masked men walked down the street carrying bottles, bricks and masonry. They set bins on fire and shouted "foreigners out". As they walked street to street, they were banging on doors, kicking doors down and breaking windows. Masked man set cars alight and at one point I witnessed them trying to burn a car until a woman came out of her home and told them it belonged to a "local and not a foreigner" and they stopped. A young family had to be moved from their home by police. The scenes of this young family fleeing their home were really quite shocking.

Hello friends, I'm Ahmed from Gaza. The war is over now, but our pain and suffering haven't. I studied computer science at the Islamic University of Gaza. During the war, I lost everything: my home, my job, my car, and my tablet. I'm now homeless and without shelter. Despite all that, I tried my best to finish my university studies during the war and take my exams under difficult circumstances, under bombardment. Now I'm about to finish. I need your help to complete my studies abroad and cover the travel expenses. Therefore, I need your support and assistance to achieve my dreams and ambitions. If you can't donate, you can share this post and talk about me and my dreams.
