Stuff that I like

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

soooo, once again adding to my random collection of cross stitch designs i decided to go embrace the moon joy and create a bundle of artemis ii inspired patterns!!!✨🌖

these have now been added to my etsy and ko-fi, along with my other patterns (d20s, taylor swift cardigans, emily henry book covers, and more)

all my links for them are below

Seems like people at that party are starting to talk. He was not the only poc that had that done to them

Edit to add in a longer comment...

May I present the best apple:

the one I was looking for originally also has a summer variant. (artist is Frederick Charles Herrick: 'it is warmer below' is from 1927, 'it is cooler below' is 1926)
