Beauty standards have made it so that I and my mother have had to help my teenage sister put bleach paste on her back and arms because of the way she was treated for it. For being brown. In our lungs, eyes, nose, burning, irritating, stinging, damaging literal bleach.

Made this post about 15 minutes after the repair guy who fixed the pump on my dishwasher packed up his tools and left, as the dishwasher was whirring along doing my dishes from that morning.

It takes effort to create, an effort you're obviously putting in. Ignore that dumb ass anon. Take your time, do things YOUR way because it's YOUR project. Nobody has say over what you do.

I love what you've shown so far. It genuinely fills me with joy. Can't wait to see what you make and how the story you write plays out.

And I must stress again, I dont post much of substance because I have a patreon that I need people to feel incentivized to join, so I can keep paying people to help me make this. All three episodes of prologue are written, most of the voice acting is finished, episode 1 is currently being animated, and we're already prototyping the game. I also don't have a lot of substantial things to post because I want the project to speak for itself, like don't expect me to blab about every detail before any of it is out, other than answering silly questions because those details don't matter. Otherwise, I'm making a choice to be really vague.

Other materials at the time, namely clay, would absorb flavors and germs meaning that if you ate beef off a clay plate your next meal with that plate could have beef flavor and microbes common on cow meat on it.  That would leak out seemingly at random no less.  Heck imagine a sick person coughing into their soup bowl and then months later their germs hiding in the clay would pop out to infect whole new people.

Also the earliest human use of glass we know of is for its sharpness.  Pre-historic people would use volcanic glass as sharp knives for food preparation.  Also beads.  Pretty much any new substance humans get their hands on for most of our history we immediately try to make into beads.
