Hi!

So many! I hate when people draw Franco skinny or muscular. He’s fat, stop doing that to him. Similarly, I hate when people remove his disabilities to make him “conventionally attractive” because it’s just not the same character. I hate when people draw Gooseberry skinny or when they draw Otto skinny. I hate seeing people twinkify Coyle or give him a six pack. People are too desperate to make all the characters meet stereotypical beauty standards when drawing them, and I can’t stand it. I hate most comment sections. Example: I’ve seen so many people make wonderful art of pre-Murkoff Gooseberry just for the comments to be angry that they drew her black- when we literally have no confirmation of her race, and her voice actress is black. Personally, I think she’s black. Even if she’s not, there’s no reason to be nasty about it in the comments. I hate when people harass someone because their favorite character is a “bad person” when everyone in the game is both fictional and a bad person. There’s so much ableism and victim blaming in this fanbase!! Not to mention the racism and misogyny, too!! Oh my sweet Lord above, there’s so much disgusting behavior from fans!! Sometimes this fanbase makes me think media literacy and the ability to comprehend complex themes that aren’t spoon fed to you are dead!

Society:Hi

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:
