@Svantovit @LukeAlmighty @Rwoeidk i'm no blank slatist, and it is apparent to me that there are different biological and sociological factors at play. that's why i mention white people's mental health as well. it's a diseased part of the culture that needs to be removed and fought against so that we can make things better.
there are people out there that want things to be worse because it benefits them (namely, businessmen and politicians). there are people who are ignorant. there are those who don't want to face the heart of these issues because it's uncomfortable. all of that just makes it proliferate and the only way to dig out of that hole is to work on changing the culture, which involves teaching. not relaxing laws or covering up statistics or trying to make the problems go away with money or even more disorder and chaos.
@xianc78 yeah, ZUN's cool with people profiting off of touhou stuff too! games, music, etc. he just keeps making his own games and is successful doing it. that's part of why the game has gained so much popularity, because anyone is able to make stuff with it which might draw in more people.
@xianc78 yeah that's not a bad idea. honestly i'd probably take on a bit more of a ZUN persona and just let people do whatever the fuck they wanted with my world/characters. that way, people can still make good stuff with it but i'd still be seen as the "official source."
touhou isn't exactly public domain, but i think that's as close as you'd get to what you're thinking of.
@matana dude it really was!!
@McMongoose @LukeAlmighty brave search is pretty good, and getting better. image search still leaves something to be desired.
@xianc78 i don't intend on ever selling out. it would have to be a purchase of an IP that i would get a ridiculous amount of money from, enough to purchase a home and live without doing a single thing for the next like decade.
i'd never sell an actual company, though. especially if i was still working at it. probably will never go public either. i hate the idea that someone else will have control over my creative works, even if it will technically give me better profit margins temporarily or whatever the fuck.
@Possummachine it's only a matter of time for every artist who draws loli.
@ImperialAgent @LukeAlmighty agreed, and teach men to provide for their women and actually stick around.
a good chunk of issues could be solved if kids had two loving parents serving their natural roles and actually taking care of their children in every way. especially in places like white people's mental health and black people's violence.
you asked lol
@Rwoeidk @Svantovit @LukeAlmighty luke's post is more about telling men not to rape, which obviously doesn't make sense because men who will rape are going to rape and telling them no isn't going to stop them, much like telling a guy with a gun not to shoot you isn't going to change his mind.
but TEACHING people things is different. you can teach someone good morals before they ever get in a position like that. possibly after with rehab.
it's not like people don't know that rape is wrong, they just do it anyway because they want to. but if you can eliminate the desire to want to, or at least give someone enough mental stability to not rape someone even if they do want to, that's what the goal is.
my assumption is that most rapists had bad childhoods for one reason or another. even if there is no direct abuse, emotional/physical neglect, intentional or not, still harms people. shocker.
the phrase "teach men not to rape" is a lot more deep than just "tell your rapist he shouldn't be raping you and he'll stop, duh."
now, whether feminists actually use it that way is a different story. just from my experience though actually talking to people, it's definitely more of a thing like "where did this person's learning go so wrong that they raped someone? make sure to teach your kids correctly." which of course, teaching isn't just in what you tell someone, it's how you act toward them that will make them more or less susceptible to your teachings. it's also about not being a hypocrite with your teachings.
@LukeAlmighty @Svantovit as i see it, there is a difference between "teach" and "tell" that isn't being understood here.
@Svantovit @LukeAlmighty there is something to be said about telling grown ass men not to rape, because a grown ass man who is going to rape someone won't give a shit if he's told no.
but raising a boy with a strong moral code is what i'm talking about.
@66d44ec09664f9c8f2fcd3ab474dcdd063f231408da7ab46453c82b43da6ffb4 in my defense, i was looking on a phone screen
this is what trannies wish transitioning was like lmao
@mischievoustomato @GrungeQueef I care less about their politics than they care about mine, that's always been the issue.
@GrungeQueef @mischievoustomato that means there would still be problems because hot cosplay girls are usually insufferable libs. I'd rather take horse girls over them if all but one group of girls had to die completely.
