here’s a new ideological movement for you: internet iconoclasm

• stop putting random internet people on pedestals because they’re funny or quirky or for any reason at all actually
  
• self examine and self criticize: are you putting too much stock in parasocial internet relationships? are you being mindful of the humanity of others?
  
• never lay down your pride to defend someone you’ve never even talked to
• remember that the person and the persona can be very different
  
• if an online celebrity or influencer deserves to be torn down, then let them be torn down.
  

The 1 exception: Seth Everman

how about no exceptions because this is literally a basic guide for healthy and respectful behavior wrt internet fame

Seth Everman IS the internet and we must worship him accordingly

do you people hear yourselves sometimes

chaz-serir asked: chaz-targrin-gw2's blog owner here o/ With the stuff that's happening on Tumblr right now (Quite a few of my posts got incorrectly flagged, including the one with Bitra), I'm wondering where would be best to continue posting stuff where it can be seen by the GW2 community (and by the moderator(s) of this tumblr too, I like you a lot and I wanna keep sharing stuff as long as I know it makes you all happy!)

guildwars2:

Hi there! I’m sorry to hear your stuff is getting flagged incorrectly, and I know there’s a lot of uncertainty right now. >< Some of our posts and reblogs have been incorrectly flagged as well.

We’re waiting along with everyone else to see how things go, but for right now we’re going to keep interacting with the community here and reblogging work from the gw2 fan submission tag as usual. We do have an official Guild Wars 2 account on Pillowfort.io (guildwars2, just like here, although the site is currently down for maintenance). We haven’t started posting or reblogging content over there yet, but we’ll post an update with any news in the future!

In the meantime, we have official Twitter (English, German, French, and Spanish) and Instagram accounts where we see lots of fan artists and screenshot artists posting their work. There’s also the Community Creations subforum on our official site. Those channels are all managed by the communications team, so we share cool stuff we see with each other from all over. ฅ(＾・ω・＾ฅ)

No matter what comes next, we always want to be where the community is. <3 As always, anyone who thinks their work might have been hidden from the tag can send me a message with a link to the post. We’ll keep sharing the same kind of content we always have according to our Rules of Conduct, regardless of whether it’s been flagged by Tumblr.

I love how their post says “A better, more positive Tumblr” as if female nipples are what’s ruining the experience on this website and not bullies, racists, homophobes and actual nazis

things you can do to help make the gw2 community better and safer– for yourself and others– in the wake of the JP issue:

• regardless of your opinion on JP herself, make it clear that you do not stand for bigotry. express disapproval for the people who are saying bigoted and aggressive things, and let people know that your blog is a safe space for women and other marginalized groups who might feel shaken by this atm
  
• be careful what you say about this discourse before you post something. think to yourself, “does it look like im agreeing with the community’s hate and aggression if i say this? are people going to feel potentially unsafe around me after i post this?”
• SPEAK! UP! let anet know if you disagree with their handling of this. speak up when issues like this arise. don’t let bigoted voices become the only ones in the room before it’s too late. you don’t have to argue with people– just post your opinion on the forums and then leave and ignore your notifications if you don’t want to debate people
  
• join or found a guild committed to providing a non-hostile environment that doesn’t let people toss around bigotry or slurs
• go into your chat settings (tap \ and fuss with the little arrows next to the chat tabs) and turn off map and potentially say chat if you can’t stand it. you can even make one tab that has them on for events etc but another that has them off if you don’t want to see it
• if you do keep map chat on, if you see people spouting misogynistic shit, slurs, etc, toss in a casual “not cool, dude :/” and then tab out of map if you want. ignore backlash if you don’t wanna get into fights. in a map where people are being bigoted in the chat, there are usually tons of other people who are uncomfy with it as well but don’t say anything because they’re too afraid to speak first. they’ll feel comforted/empowered by seeing someone standing up to it
• use your “block” and “report > verbal abuse” and “report > innappropriate character name” buttons liberally. people spouting bigotry counts as “verbal abuse”. people who have names mocking marginalized groups is against the ToS.
• if you’re in a party with friends and get some pugs to fill it up, and you and your friends are able to hijack the majority vote, then kick people who say nasty shit or slurs. don’t put up with it. you can find a new pug. people who are going to act like that don’t deserve the party space. don’t let them feel welcome

these are just a few things you can do and there’s quite a bit more, but to summarize it, the rational voices of the gw2 community need to be louder against this. it can be hard and scary to combat bigotry in a videogame but remember the loud bigots are just a loud, small fraction who has been allowed to run wild. the amount of people who won’t tolerate it is much larger and we need to demonstrate that

can u believe some people can see a cat & not immediately be filled with absolute unconditional love for that animal. they dont even get the urge to kiss them right on their little baby cat head. thats incomprehensible to me

I had to unlearn my instinct to huge and cuddle cats bc when I did my face would swell and begin to burn/itch.

DEAR DIGITAL ARTISTS

This is NOT okay, do ya`ll see how small and brittle the new nibs are?? I usually only draw in weekends (I don`t press hard either) and now I have to change them every 3 weeks. 

Complain. Tell them this isn`t okay. Don`t let big companies rob artists because they have the most reliable products. 

Wacom`s website
Wacom`s instagram

How do they expect people to be able to afford that? This is ridiculous.

I’m not saying this is the artists’ fault but Huion tablets cost half as much, the only reason nobody seem to buy them are the almost slanderous reviews you find online. I’m glad I didn’t see them because they’re basically all wrong as far as I’m concerned - for instance my pen’s batteries last around a month, not hours like reviews suggest.
So you know instead of giving a company a monopoly that they’re going to abuse, just buy from another brand. You don’t like their product ? Fuck them, go see somewhere else, it’s the best way to to make them understand.
