In The Advent Of Unity's New Bullshit, I Remind You:

In the advent of Unity's new bullshit, I remind you:

MOST COLLEGE VIDEO GAME DESIGN CLASSES TEACH UNITY AND UNITY *ONLY.*

A GREAT DEAL OF THE GAMES YOU AND I PLAY EVERY SINGLE DAY ARE UNITY GAMES.

THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY *IS NOT UNIONIZED* AND THEREFORE DEVS HAVE VERY LITTLE ABILITY TO FIGHT THIS.

If you see your favorite games vanish suddenly, it's NOT bc the devs don't want you to play them. It's because Unity is a dick.

If I see you get mad at the indie devs that are being forced to either delete their work forever or cough up money they don't have, I'm biting you and your arm is coming with me.

so, this is something i've noticed in fandom spaces and want to see how people ~generally~ feel regarding genderbends & genderswaps, especially if they are transgender themselves!

if there's a reason for why you like/dislike genderbends please share in the tags, this is something that genuinely interests me

Okay gonna put in an EARLY request here for OFMD fandom.

The character's name is Zhang Zheng Yi Sao. That's a real historical figure, very very awesome pirate queen. Her name isn't "Susan." That's what she went by when undercover selling soup.

I beg people to use her real name and not a fake one that may be easier for you to spell and pronounce. She doesn't introduce herself or tell anyone to call her Susan after her real identity is revealed and people in the show call her Zheng. Or Queen, I suppose.

So please, as someone from Chinese fandoms who has seen the amount of microagressions fandoms get up to when dealing with "weird and difficult" Chinese names...can we not?

If you're worried about spelling, ZYS would be how Chinese names are typically abbreviated in fandom. And Zheng isn't inherently any harder to type than Susan.

Trying to get ahead of things a little here, as a white American person who has learned things the hard way over the last few years.

EDIT: I got a letter wrong I even googled it blame the mead I'm drinking and the fact it's 5am for me. ZHENG Yi Sao!

nothing izzy has ever done justifies the trauma and violation being done to him, by the way. i don’t care how mean or misguided he was - edward was his friend, and izzy has never laid a hand on him.

Stobotnik but it's a "The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals" AU.

Bot is obviously Paul, and Stone is obviously Emma. Brainworm i gotta get out
