between tumblr being found guilty of moderating lgbtq content unequally during the 2018 ban in court and @ sorryforpartyrocking being nuked for suggesting one of tumblr staff may have investment in defending terfs to now many different trans women having their text posts and selfies being flagged as mature without the opportunity to appeal in any meaningful way (one of which was nuked herself)… it’s very. hmmmm. it’s a bad look. as if staff wasn’t already on thin ice for refusing to engage in any effective way with hate speech. “queerest space on the internet” my ass

“The normalization of gacha as a service model for video games is a net negative on video game development as it pushes the industry towards more predatory and exploitative models, and it’s worth discussing this with gacha becoming more mainstream in western countries in recent years”
and
“Gacha is not inherently worse or more predatory than microtransactions, lootboxes, and season/battle passes, all of which pushed the industry towards predatory monetary models just as much as gacha is doing now if not more. EA and Activision and many other companies have been making millions and billions of dollars off these predatory models long before Genshin Impact became a household name. Treating gacha games as uniquely evil is counterproductive and low-key racist”
