Jax the fictional rabbit has more "accountability" posts than her own racist voice actor. The times we live in.

something that i find interesting about independent animation nowadays is that if you don't have studio/streamer backing, you have to release your work yourself on the internet, but you have to do it for free on the internet because virtually nobody is going to be willing to accept a paywall just for one original show, so what you have to do in order to make any money off of it is make all of your money from merchandising, but then this means that you show must be merchandisable and have very toyetic character designs that translate easily to plushies and whatnot, but then you also need to cater your show to people who are disproportionately inclined to buy merchandise like that in the first place so that your sales can be enough to sustain you, which means that even if you want to communicate complex or difficult ideas in your work, your independent animation project must attract (at least on a first impression) and retain viewers who are both very consumerist and very capable of rabid passion, which unfortunately has a single-circle shaped venn diagram with a lot of the most toxic fandom tendencies known to man, and this explains a lot of things about independent animation and its fandoms nowadays I think

Modern society is built upon hundreds of forgotten genocides and massacres, in addition to the ones history has documented. Living today means inheriting a world shaped by the deeds of previous generations and confronting their consequences, whether we wish to or not. The right thing to do is to confront that legacy rather than pretend it does not exist.

I remembered in middle school I was showing my design of Sven to one of my friends at the time and, back in the day Sven used to be a lot more fem (soft butch-like) and had long hair in braids, and when I told her that I wanted to make her a lesbian and if she should have short hair she was like "no you will make her masculine. it'll be stereotypical and bad, keep her as she is" and like. l completely understand where she came from but its funny looking back because in reality most lesbian rep is mostly straight-like femenine women- and butches, especially hyper-masc butches are scarce despite being a "stereotype", so. lol lmao
