hoi

happy tdov my loves. don't let anyone else define your transness for you.

And then there's the fact that there's a nonbinary button... Which is something I genuinely did not think possible yet. I don't think people are talking about how big this is - the is probably one of the most MAJOR and VISIBLE media out there to ever include nonbinary representation, and this is NINTENDO we're talking about. The company that will shy away from Anything that might give them intense backlash. Displaying a third option labeled "nonbinary" directly smack in the character creator of their new hit game that people have been waiting for for over a decade. It's not only visible, it's UNAVOIDABLE. If you want to play Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream you HAVE to be reminded that we exist every time you open the character creator just like women and men. I mean, how many people will buy the game and not know what the word even means, and become more familiar with nonbinary genders because of this? Acknowledgement in the general public consciousness like this is going to kickstart something huge.

Starting the 13th, we will have an AI determine if we are children or not and if you are a child, than you are forced to send your ID, send a selfie or a credit card

This has the obvious cons of having your privacy being revoked from you and and in case there is a security breach, major identity thefts.

So what do we do in this scenario?

Well right now I have real idea as this is relativity new to me, but I do have two plans

Plan 1. Bug the shit out of them, send letters and send emails about how much of bad idea this is.

Include why the AI will mess up and target adults who watch cartoons, include privacy issues, censorship issues, anything you can think of that relates to this. I want you guys to bug the hell out of YouTube until they reverse this idea

Here their address for letters

Send a mass amount of letters on the 5th of August and than another mass amount on the 8th

Plan 2. Blackout.

Since the thing is coming out on the 13th.

The plan will be to completely avoid YouTube at all cost for that day (and beyond), no watching, no sharing, no uploading, no nothing.

Download videos before things go down, watch Netflix. Whatever you do, don’t touch YouTube.

That’s all I can say right now, I also want you guys to let YouTubers know of this situation cause if it’s important for everyone on the website to talk about this immediately

Spread this stuff around, let people know of YouTube’s upcoming policy and how it’ll hurt everyone

Edit: I have taken into consideration and I am going to agree that the blackout should be until the decision is reversed, this is so we are not out at risk as users and so YouTube doesn’t just ignore the original black out

I might have a more detailed plan posted later today, but it depends on everything goes

Another edit: just to remind yall to send in letters and emails about this to google to force their hands to reverse this decision

There is also the law itself, though I can’t speak much on it other than finding lawing bodies that can force YouTube to reverse this decision. If anyone can find a place to file or call for this, that will be greatly appreciated! (I heard maybe the FTC and or the California Consumer privacy right can be considered, but that needs more research)

BIGGER UPDATE: we have a new plan in motion, here is the updated plan for you all to see

and also here's a petition to stop the law that would help support this into becoming a thing

and also a tumblr post about it and how you can help further prevent this from being allowed in office

Don’t forget to send this fellow people outside of tumblr

YouTubers, Twitter users, send it through out and make sure you are heard

Another update for people, we have a discord server! Come over to the server to join in and be organized then before!

Guys, I'm feeling pretty rough this morning, I'm not even gonna sugarcoat it

have beef with dead kids :fnaf

blocks :minecraft

Anyway

Ah crap. Uhhhhhh

Good Kid is the first band I’ve ever been obsessed with. Did not know before this that I could be obsessed with music. Here I am

I’m a pharmacy technician! I both hate it and love it—by far the best part of it is the kids, ages 5-13, who just discovered they could pick the flavor of their own medicine.

I live two hours away from the Mexican border. Half my family is very Mexican. The other half immigrated over here at least five generations ago and is functionally white. What does that make me? …Who knows.

Im too lazy to put this in anyone’s inbox so here we go, no pressure tag spree incoming:

2 I love fish in a birdcage

3 I'm graduating high school this year

2. I am 176.

3. My favourite food is either pierogi or arancini.

@peaches2217 @pepperycar @year2000electronics

1. I'm very good at teaching. I've worked as a teacher a few times and my students were very happy with my work. I just don't wanna be a teacher forever because it's not my passion... but also because I get VERY nervous whenever I have to speak in public 😅

2. I can't drive. I tried, but I was never able to feel fully relaxed, so... It's a plan for the future to finally get my license 🤞🏻

3. I've written five novels throughout my life and published three of them. But it's been so long that they're not available anymore, and now I'm just extremely happy as a fanfic writer.

1. I'm a graphic designer graduate, and aspire to work in the area someday. But I'd mostly like to go for character designing, as it's something I'm kinda experienced at.

2. I wanna be an animator, or at least know the basics of animation. I think the toughest would be mixing the audio with the frames, otherwise it's another area I always admired.

3. I wish to have a gaming collection, like with the past consoles and such. Mostly from Nintendo, cuz yeah, despite them being a prick with consumer practicing, we can't deny their past consoles were remarkable and their games too were a banger.

Anyways, I apologize in advance for tagging, but I summon ye:

1. I had hydrocephalus as a baby, and the shunt and surgery scars to prove it.

2. I'm a high school graduate, and wish to go to art school to become an animator/storyboard artist.

3. At the time of me reblogging this, I own two cats, Chaos and Molly (we just found the latter on the streets the other day though, we're still on the fence about keeping her).

Only do this if you want, regardless of whether or not you were tagged, but I'll still tag either way. I tag:

As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.

Good news! Ao3 is is on the case and your donations are being put to work right now!

I'm probably late. I checked and, except for the last two, ALL of my fics have an URL between 1-63,200,000. So I guess this means the fucking AI already has most of my fics. But just in case I have just now locked them all. I have no idea if I can save them from being used by the damn AI but for God's sake I shall try my best...

Seriously why does this even exist. We can't even create content for our favorite fandoms in peace. I'm so mad and scared and nervous right now, oof. And knowing there's little to nothing that I can do makes me feel so absolutely powerless... I wrote these stories myself out of my passion for these characters and now a fucking machine can do whatever it wants with them.

YESSS WE ARE SOOO BACK
