Hal's hang ups

This is a callout for @i-am-a-fish​ I guess because I believe there is substantial evidence indicating that they are a sexual predator, this is my first time doing this shit so bare with me here

cw: pedophilia //

It seems most people on here think the shit involving Goldie Gurston revolves around their stupid posts, the whole “wild lesbian” lesbophobia thing, or the time they infantilized Black Lives Matter for clout, but what people are upset about is the possibility of them manipulating their fanbase to push sex onto the minors who follow them. These aren’t in chronological order but it’s evident that they are actively trying

A lot of these posts are delivered as some sort of Joke, but it’s alarming why a 19 year old would be posting this shit to a fanbase that’s widely known to be under 18.

The Pornhub post:

Earlier this year, Goldie linked their Pornhub account to boththeir tumblr and twitter. They proceeded to delete the post on tumblr and removed it from the links section of their blog after people demonstrated their discomfort from it, but the original post remains on Twitter as of now

Apparently, the account had adult content on it at one point in it’s favorites/likes/whatever section, but all material has since been removed. As of now, the account remains on pornhub. I will screenshot the account but censor the profile picture containing their face for their discretion, however. 

The Creepy Fucktoy Post

This in of itself isn’t “proof” so much as it is fucking creepy of them to post this shit to their blog, with a large minor fanbase. The first part in of itself isn’t that bad, but the “don’t let me stop you though!” part is fucking off-setting considering, again, how the majority of their fanbase consist of people under 18.

The DIscord Server

Their discord allowed their young fanbase to interact with them and with other fans, but the discord server itself did nothing to prevent NSFW topics from being brought up between minors and older people, and of note is how the moderators were mostly adults, believed in aged-up character porn being okay, and supporting “MAPs” and pedophiles. These screenshots are from another post, but for convenience’s sake, I will add them here and link the original post to it’s creator. Credit goes to @nestbian for posting these.

Last, but not least,

They follow an account on twitter that posts lolicon shit

This is the biggest red flag you can get from someone like i-am-a-fish. They follow accounts on twitter that post young anime girls, sometimes depicted in a sexually risque way.

one of the accounts in question

Of other note is how they appear to manipulate their fanbase to cover for them when they’ve done something wrong and refuse to apologize, as well as their patreon which offers nothing in return and offers a “$3 lgbt+ sunglasses” pledge. Fans of Fish seem to have a cult-like devotion to them and it stems from a campaign of lovebombing and gratification.

I NEED TO STATE THIS: under NO circumstances should anyone be suicide-baited or harassed in a way that will cause them severe emotional stress to the point they may do something harmful to theirself and others. Nobody should directly target and harass them, even though they do/say dumb shit, that behavior is heinously cruel and unjust.

that’s it. that’s all she did.

she didn’t say she was the face of people with acne or act like she has it harder than other people. she just shared a feature that i’m sure she’s been shamed for and has struggled to love.

What you have here are images of power, and do you really believe these characters are designed with titillating heterosexual women and bisexual and homosexual men in mind? Because I don’t think you do.

This is why the Hawkeye Initiative exists. Take common female poses in comics, put a man in the role, and see how “empowering” and “strong” it actually looks: 

Also: 

Hugh Jackman on a men’s magazine. He’s shirtless and buff and angry. He’s imposing and aggressive. This is a male power fantasy, it’s what men want to be and aspire to - intense masculinity.

Hugh Jackman on a women’s magazine.  He looks like a dad. He looks like he’s going to bake me a quiche and sit and watch Game of Thrones with me. He looks like he gives really good hugs.

Men think women want big hulking naked men in loin cloths which is why they always quote He-Man as male objectification - without realizing that He Man is naked and buff in a loin cloth because MEN WANT HIM TO BE. More women would be happy to see him in a pink apron cutting vegetables and singing off-key to 70s rock.

The magazines, notice something about them?

This one is named “Muscle & Fitness” and features WOLVERINE, it’s Hugh Jackman as Wolverine but in this photo it’s Logan because he’s a fucking character actor and as comic fans you should know Logan is an angry and aggressive dude. It’s showing off his muscles because it’s to show along with the photo how he got jacked for the movie hence “The routine that built the star of Logan” Would you understand how toned he got if he was wearing a shirt and understand how he became Logan?

NO, on this cover he is LOGAN not Hugh Jackman.

This magazine is Good Housekeeping.

A magazine featuring recipes, health and wellbeing tricks and most likely home care tips. The cover doesn’t say it’s for women, t’s sexist to think that. In this magazine it talks about Jackman’s advise on keeping together a good marriage, it’s not about just him, it’s him and his wife and family. A large amount of the demographic for the magazine is likely married women or women looking to start a family. This magazine focuses on his marriage... there is a reason he was chosen. Hugh Jackman is good looking, they know it, he knows it and Good Housekeeping is using his looks to sell a magazine becauseeeeeee women find him attractive.

Both use him for his looks and both are promoting better health, one physical and the other mental.

Also look:

They have a women’s version with WOMEN ON THEM.

Granted the colour palette is a bit EH but when you have a magazine for fitness directed at a certain sex you’d have a man on a mens magazine and a woman on a woman’s magazine.

It’s a magazine to promote better ways to get fit and grow muscles if the person chooses to. It’s revealing because it’s showing the results of the hard work and with bodies like that why wouldn’t you want to flaunt it? The celebrity element draws people in more because people aspire to be and look like their favourite celebrities. 

There are multiple things to address such as religious freedoms, personal oppositions, and what you’ve been misled to believe this vote is about. 

Let’s start with the anti-equality ad that ran recently. Now that’s a whole thing to unpack but the gist of it is that the Safe Schools Program is evil and destroying our society. For starters: this vote isn’t about that. And also Safe Schools (which was introduced under Tony Abbott’s government in 2014) has been defunded. It was also voluntary so the scaremongering of “these programs are compulsory” is false. So fear not! Your concerns over a program were unfounded, and then your concerns that this vote was related to aforementioned program were also unfounded. Relaxing to know the truth isn’t it?

But let’s talk about kids for a moment. We all care about the children. Well, we care about children. If we decrease homophobic bullying it saves lives. Period. That includes straight children. Shocking! You mean there’s a benefit for straight people too? Finally a reason to get on board! So your kids (and I guess LGBT ones too or something) don’t kill themselves from depression caused by bullying. When marriage equality is made legal youth suicides drop. I repeat: WHEN MARRIAGE EQUALITY IS MADE LEGAL YOUTH SUICIDES DROP. (Oh hey, something actually relevant to the issue at hand)

But what’s the point of literally saving lives if those children have to be raised by a same sex couple? Well fear not! Because research shows that there’s no negative effects to being raised by a same sex couple! Want more proof of that? Here you go. But that’s also irrelevant as same sex couples can already adopt kids. So that’s also a non-issue.

It seems like thus far half of the No campaign’s opposition isn’t even marriage related. So let’s get down to some specifically marriage related things:

Religious freedoms. If marriage equality passes will celebrants be FORCED to marry gay couples despite religious opposition? No! Not even remotely! Attorney General George Brandis is going to assure you of that! Celebrants (religious or otherwise) are already allowed to reject couples based on any variety of reasons. A celebrant who weds a couple is often a very personal thing and the three people know each other prior. Churches can already deny people to be legally married simply because they’re the wrong denomination of Christianity. There’s no legal obligation for a celebrant to take up a booking the moment someone fills in whatever paperwork is necessary. Gay people aren’t somehow wizards all called Simon ready to go “Simon says… marry me and my fiance… who is also called Simon.”* They can’t force you to marry them.

*#notallgaysarecalledSimon

Isn’t that basically it? That’s the main one right? You’re scared your religious freedoms won’t be left intact. Well The Liberals are big on religious freedoms anyway so stop worrying and using that as an excuse to vote no. It’s hollow and unfounded (which is good news for you! I hear Christians are big into good news)

Moral aspects: OK so you think gay people are immoral and wrong. But do they really deserve to be actively hurt by you? If your answer is “yes. I hate them so much I want to suffer” then I guess you’re just evil. But if you’d like to think of yourself as Not-An-Evil-Person then consider the following: Why hurt others? As previously mentioned up above: voting no will hurt people. Not just children (seriously wasn’t “decrease in youth suicides” not a good enough reason by itself?) but consenting adults. You may be thinking “but I don’t want to hurt anyone! I just don’t morally agree with it for (insert reason here)! Is that really that bad?” And look, I get it. Morality is a complex issue with a lot of grey areas that hold personal value to you. You may have no intention of hurting LGBT+ people and think voting no is harmless but the truth is: it isn’t. There are a lot of different motivations in the “no” campaign from malicious to personal but in the end they all have one unified goal: deny rights and dignity to LGBT+ people. It is unavoidable to harm someone by voting no. It is an active decision to do so, whether that is intentional or otherwise, and you must understand that. This matters SO MUCH to the LGBT+ community. SO MUCH. Why deny someone something so valuable if it has no effect on you?

Morality is subjective, yes. But a good way to cross personal/community boundaries for what is right and wrong on an overall sense is to look at how harmful an action is and whether that harm is to prevent a greater harm. If marriage equality passes there will be no negative consequences. That’s a fact. You won’t be personally affected by it in any way. Anything you have heard otherwise is obfuscation and lies. But voting no is undeniably harmful for no personal gain. You may not like gay people… but that’s not necessary. You just need to accept that your personal ideologies are different and that this is no reason to cause people you disagree with harm. Is that really that hard just to agree to disagree and let people do their own harmless thing?

I haven’t seen any stats on learning about these things decrease suicide rates but if it’s to save lives I support marriage equality. Even without that reasoning I do, everyone deserves to marry the person they love.

Safe Schools aside because thats a whole other thing. 

Gay Marriage should be legal everywhere it can reach, the repulsion to it is very much based in religious morality. The video is describing that because gay marriage is allowed they’ll force LGBT type things into schools. 

Warning for needles, links to disturbing images

[Tweet: A fanartist was offered hand made cookies at a con. Only to find out they have needles inside and pierced her tongue]

The fanartist in question is Avimedes, a Taiwanese fanartist who draws primarily for Undertale. On May 10th she posted on her Plurk (warning for images with blood, needles) that she was given cookies as a gift; she ate one and a needle pierced her tongue. 

Here is a translation of her post:

Warning, these photos contain a lot of blood.

I’m very sorry that I haven’t had a chance to say my thanks (for the convention?) and I am venting. But I received a needle in my dessert gift from the convention. Thank you, I have one more piercing now.

I am not trying to ask for comfort, I am only trying to tell everyone how serious is this matter, so do not comfort me.

This matter is unable to be investigated and hopeless to be investigated. This matter has made me lost of trust towards something, but from today onwards, I will not be accepting any more handmade food by others.

Any more follow up and notice will be posted(if there’s any), thank you for your attention.

From discussion (Twitter, Reddit) it seems likely that she was given these cookies because she draws Sans/Frisk art, and a “fan” decided that drawing a ship they didn’t like was worthy of attempted murder. Had Avimedes swallowed the needle it could have done considerable and possibly irreparable internal damage. 

So I will say this again: DO NOT HARM REAL PEOPLE OVER FICTIONAL ENTITIES. I don’t care what the content is. These purity crusades need to STOP. The amount of vitriol and anger that the anti-shipping circles not only accept but encourage is dangerous, unhealthy, and unless stopped will lead to more people being hurt. There’s already been at least one incident of an artist being harassed into a suicide attempt. 

Your moral indignation/righteous anger/upset feelings DO NOT justify the injury or death of other people. You have every right to protect yourself from viewing objectionable content, but that right stops far, far short of hurting other people. Going on these crusades DOES NOT HELP against the sort of issues that are purportedly being championed; it only causes more harm. We need to break away from this mindset, from purity culture, before someone is permanently injured or dies.   

✔ Everyone who doesn’t think like me is literally Hitler or a Nazi.

✔ Everyone who stands up for people who I think are Nazis are Nazi sympathisers. 

Black girls deserve to learn free from bias and stereotypes.

Most black girls experience this hatred at schools. And classmates are not the only problem, there is no support from teachers, too. That’s why they get so affected by their school experiences. Black kids deserve to be treated just like everybody else, they want to study, they want to learn something ,too. However due to prejudice they are 5 times more likely to be suspended than their white peers and it can ruin their lives forever.  National Women’s Law Center created this video to change the situation. Join the movement to help black girls feel normal and get the same opportunities everybody else has.

I have absolutely NOT given any permission to ANYONE sell my fanart or other art online. This work is stolen for mass production purposes and it even has my watermark still on it.

I’m not very good at English and I have trouble with understanding all the information that ebay needs for me to fill and gather to make a proper report.

I have the original file of the picture and own account at ebay.

Tips & help are much appreciated!

I’m possibly stating the obvious here, but: Make your watermarks noticeable, make them difficult to photoshop off with their placement, upload your files in low quality and small size to web.

Timely question, Anon!  We were just about to post something about the effects of such a large number of refugees arriving in Sweden!  Which we’ll get to in a minute…1) For those who don’t know, Trump claimed there was a recent terrorist attack in Sweden and linked it to the amount of refugees Sweden has taken in - more per capita than any other country.The only problem is that, like the “Bowling Green Massacre” that only Trump aide Kellyanne Conway seemed to know about, no one anywhere had heard of any such terrorist attack.But it turns out there was a terrorist bombing, in Gothenburg Sweden last month that left one person seriously injured.Why did no one hear about it?  Because it was a bombing of a refugee centre by white supremacists.  And as we all know, when neo-nazis commit a terrorist attack, it does not get the same media coverage that a terrorist attack by racialized people receive.  For example: a recent media study examined U.S. coverage of two terrorist attacks in Canada: the 2014 shooting that left one person + the shooter of Muslim background dead and the 2017 shooting that left six people dead and seventeen injured when a white supremacist stormed a Québec mosque and opened fire (the latter being another white supremacist attack Team Trump used as a justification for their own Islamophobia!).  Turns out the attack by the Muslim shooter received 6x more media coverage in U.S. media outlets, even though the attack by the white supremacist killed 6x more victims.But we digress.
