Children of Dinah

Revealing the ignorance of my youth here, but who is this and what is she known for?

Anita Sarkeesian, feminist who interpreted media under a feminist lens. She did a series about video games and she was the subject of targeted harassment. That was the start of gamergate

Minor correction, the start of gamergate was based around a different reporter, Zoe Quinn, but they were both absolutely violently threatened over their involvement in video game criticism and development. A hate campaign was started by Quinn's ex-boyfriend when he wrote a post falsely accusing them of dating video game journalists in order to receive positive reviews on their own game, Depression Quest, which led other bad actors to accuse all women in the industry (Zoe identified as female at the time) of perceived sexual immorality. Anita Sarkeesian's brilliant Youtube series Tropes vs Women in Video Games (which everyone should watch, right now) sparked a particular nerve for criticizing popular games of killing and/or victimizing any important female character (there is a CHILLING bit that borders on ludicrous where she describes the plots of a seemingly endless parades of games as "In [title], [male player character's] wife dies, and you then have to rescue [his] daughter."). That series did actually make a huge change in the industry, especially when touted by progressive legacy developers like Tim Schafer (Monkey Island, Psychonauts), who went on to expand hiring in his company to front women and minority voices, but the shift didn't really show for a long time and echoes of the sexism that plagues the industry at its core are still rampant.

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback

Happy pride month everyone

like many cats, the catgirl princess investigates things by sniffing. for purrticularly interesting or exciting things she might do a longer sniff inspection to thoroughly investigate. that's all. please stop teasing her noble and dignified intelligence gathering by going "oh, is the little kitty musk drunk already?" just because she's spent several minutes in a trance by her cock.,.,..

Sweetie are you okay? You rebloged doesn't know what it's like to receive love 14 times today

im just going to gently tap the sign and offer a hug okay? no pressure to accept

no other social media platform has lore quite like tumblr’s

the gods that haunt this place are unlike any others

I just saw a tiktok comment saying that tumblr right now is like a place recovered from being irradiated

Sign outside Tumblr: “This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. …”

id: screenshot of tags reading “the wildlife carries on in the ruins like nothing ever happened”

I like your shoelaces

Thanks, I pulled them out of a stump filled with fae water and now it wards off the President

being out and about with someone sober while you're high feels so much like that "i'm bring brought along" panel from tomo chan wa onnanoko
