re: recent discourse, a note for both sides
this started with someone intentionally, and self-destructively, presenting it in a way where they wanted to hurt other people, so they could hurt themselves.
if you want to genuinely express concern: don't follow in those footsteps.
if you want to genuinely attempt to understand: don't follow in those footsteps.
if you want to do anything other than hurt other folks, and also yourself: don't follow in those footsteps.
re: recent discourse, a note for both sides
before you draw battle lines and decide that the cause is worth tossing around, please remember
this started because someone, in an act of digital self-harm, wanted to post something they know would be controversial - and hurtful - enough to push people away, because that was their coping strategy.
it's a good time to sit and examine if your motivations are significantly different, and what makes them so.
after watching the benchmark here's my true reaction to what it looks like smn's gonna get up to in #ffxiv
note: this is the best LAMB SAUCE LOCATED style carbuncle i can do in like 5 minutes ok
ffxiv benchmark spoilers if you can call them that
urianger gave alisaie the balance and not me.
betrayal. BETRAYAL. i take back EVERYTHING i EVER said even REMOTELY GOOD about your stupid sexy face, urianger. EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!
yes i know alisaie is the rdm and benchmark characters are all drk, and i know alisaie is my beloved daughter, but MOMMY NEEDS HER BALANCE

it's nsfw but not actually any fuckin' just nudity and absurdity and a catgirl who has shaved her pubes into a unicorn head.
really there comes a time in every artists' life when they just accept that on some level, they just wanna be oglaf, okay?
anyway, discourse? you want discourse? HERE'S the discourse
P.S. THIS ALSO GOES FOR MIQOTE IN FFXIV AND OTHER CATGIRLS
LOOK AT MY CATGIRL. SHE HAS THE LONG FLOOFY TAIL.
HER PUBES?
SIMILARLY MAGNIFICENT.
HAURCHEFANT GLADLY FLOSSED HIS TEETH MANY A TIME DOWN THERE.
IF YOU AIN'T GONNA AT LEAST GIVE A LANDING STRIP, YOU A COWARD
anyway, discourse? you want discourse? HERE'S the discourse
if you're a furry artist and you draw some furry lewds and yet somehow the genitals are MYSTERIOUSLY FUR-FREE in texture and presentation, especially if there's just a vagina hangin out there all like Whoops! No Hair! No Pubic Hair Would Ever Happen To A Furry!
you are a COWARD and a KNAVE and a FOOL
and i challenge you to a DUEL. PISTOLS. AT DAWN, SIRRAH. AT DAWN
spoonie whining
i don't want anything unreasonable, ok?
i dont need to run marathons
i dont mind being in some pain

i just want to be able to reliably get to eat 3 meals a day and not 2 or 1 or 0 and just have to graze on snacks because i'm so nauseated from being in pain
