Rant about Pride shit
"We're not doing anything..."
He's right but not in the way he expects. "We" are definitely not doing enough to denounce this grooming shit and I'm sick of it. I wanted to rail on this guy so bad but my Twitter has been politics free for some months and I want to keep it that way so I don't spam my Japanese follower with Western problems bullshit on their feeds.
I'm tired of this passiveness from other gays about the fact that nefarious individuals have completely taken over in a parasitic way and are making an entire group of people look bad and be treated as an actual threat. Apparently it isn't common sense to not be tolerant towards criminals and disgusting sex offenders.
People need to get it through their heads that the Pride shit is no longer in good will, just like many things from the old days that have been butchered to push identity politics and keep the population in a constant state of unrest and divided. But was Pride ever in good will? To me, it's just narcissism. If you want to be treated as an equal, you don't celebrate it in such an obnoxious way. I'm just a human, so I don't find anything "proud" about my sexual preference.
I don't need "approval" from anyone either. Certainly not from conservatives and it's not the reason I'm against everything the gay community has become. I'm not "one of the good ones". There's no such thing because being against grooming, pedophiles, drag queens being around children, men in women's sports, fetishes in public, and mutilation of children IS JUST COMMON SENSE! 100% I am against everything Pride stands for now and no, you really can't separate all the bad shit from just "celebrating". If you think like this, you're just on copium, blind, and retarded.
I hate all the ugly flags too! Such a fucking eyesore. How can people unironically use this shit? I really like rainbows because they're pretty and I hate that it's been coerce into some hideous flag now. Regardless, I will continue to like rainbows by themselves because I've always stood as an individual and I'm not going to let other obnoxious people ruin it for me.
More people need to denounce this bullshit and it has to come from within, not just from the outside. What is happening is abhorrent and people's past struggles are once again being used against them just for profit and exploitation. Pride month is an incredibly disingenuous charade made up by corporations that just treat us as "numbers".
This is the reason I'm always shitting on the current state of things regarding homosexuality. It can come across as "homophobic" until you realize I'm one myself and I'm entirely against this madness. I know it can be a bit tiring to keep seeing stuff about it, so I will try to focus on more funny universal memes going forward and actually posting original content.
This current political climate does affect me the most in this situation, although I don't think we are going to see gays being thrown off buildings like in other countries once people have had enough of this shit. Well, we also don't want it to get close to that point and the parasites do need to be weeded out by starving them of profits. A lot of the agitators are grifters themselves that profit from pushing this asinine and they value their pockets more than painting an entire group of humans in bad light or even the wellbeing of children.
I haven't downloaded Blue Protocol yet and I'm definitely not feeling too in the mood to play another MMO currently but I'll try to stream it when it goes live in JP next Wednesday. I'm just busy with my doll stuff currently and trying to improve my art. Was hoping for a July release tbh.
Saw some info about the Battle Pass through here: https://blue-protocol-db.com/news/blue-protocol-communication-deep-dive-8/
It seems to be around 4,500 yen for the highest tier and lasts 60 days. This is around $30. I wonder what the West pricing will look like. My concern is how a F2P would go about getting this and what's actually in it. There is also a free version of the Battle Pass too.
I can pay for it but thinking about my poorfag frens ofc.
There are also time trial rankings. If they keep the P2W down and allow no lifers to at least achieve the same gear as wallet warriors, then I look forward to it. Whale slaying is my specialty. Until the P2W becomes unreasonable ofc.
New class was announced: A lancer. Between the Heavy Smasher and now this one, it's what I'm looking to play unless my group of frens lacks a range. I really don't like the two range classes in this game but may ultimately be forced to play one. They really gotta give a 3rd range option, preferably a dark caster of sorts like a warlock or wizard. Generic mage and archer ain't doing it for me!
Another weird gem. Swole Sanrio characters keychains and My Melody is doing a JoJo pose because of reasons, I guess. There is also an option of getting a fat fuck one. Hello Kitty's head is attached to Hulk's body...
Who is this for?! Clearly, it is for me because I bought the JoJo Melody one. They're literally like $1.
The new Discord username change is incredibly retarded. Unnecessary change that definitely makes the service worse. The tag at the end was a better system imo. I was prompted yesterday to pick my username out of nowhere but some of my frens haven't been prompted. My account is from 2016, so I wonder if they're going by sign up date for dibs.
Somehow I was able to get my username, which rarely happens since it's short and people like to use it as a nickname often. Well, I think this dogshit service is on its way out anyways. They just need more massive fuck ups for people to leave.
Which also comes to the point that people have replaced public forum posts and websites and now use Discord as a "wiki" service to keep information in. This is asinine and I've made it my goal to make my modding tutorials as public as possible so that search engines pull these up. Once Discord dies, all that information is lost or worse case, some retard nukes your server by posting illegal shit and self reporting. People need to stop using Discord as storage for guides and information.
Got a two in one screenshot yesterday when I was confirming receipt of an order of mine. The hand looks so weird and awkward because of the clearly photoshopped colored pencils.
A Hello Kitty shanker so you can be adorable while murdering. Mini figure with shaking booba, over 1000 units sold. Wow das alotta booba! 😤
And some kawaii cock plushies for your girlfriend but I'm sure you won't have one after giving her one of these. (unless she's based with a sense of humor, which is rare for wahman)
Nothing too bad here... until you realize the shop's name is Jesus' Smokeshop and they have the holy man himself smoking a blunt. I couldn't stop laughing.
Found a ballsack that glows which attaches to your bicycle. I want to buy it and wear it to the beach to see if people notice my nether regions are glowing and my huge bouncy balls. Also a sticker skin for your credit card that has doge or... Terry Cruz for some reason!
It makes your shitter look cute and comfy but I don't think I want to sit on something that will get splashed and soaked in shid piss water every time.
Found out that these are so your wiener stands A LOT when you wear the underwear lmao
It doesn't come with a fake wiener. That means that the picture of the guy in the previous post is his real pp
WHAT IS THIS FOR
"egg's location"
I love this because everytime I open the app, there's always some bizarre product. Guess I will keep adding onto the thread if I find more weird products.
My impossible challenge of not acquiring interests related to fetishes continues!
I got recommended these cute anime kigurumi masks and I thought I would save up for one to take pictures in with my doll. Then I look at the store name that carries it. Shit!
Well, it's really cute and I keep getting into fetish shit for wholesome reasons. Whoops. I have seen people in Japan wear these but I didn't know it was used for naughty reasons too. This type of mask is probably in the same category as wearing fursuits perhaps? Also that price will mean I won't be getting one any time soon at least!
Comparisons and Info of Android Tablet Art Programs I Have Used
Up until around 2 years ago, art programs for Android tablets were really ASS. So I have struggled ever since buying my S6 tab 4 years ago and it has discouraged me from even making art. They're in a much better place now, though! So here's some info of art programs I've tried for android, in order:
Ibis Paint
Krita
Medibang
Infinite Painter
Working on a tablet has its advantages and disadvantages in comparison to working on a Wacom or any other desktop tablet plugged into the PC.
For me personally, it's a lot more comfortable to do art on my bed and I feel more productive being comfortable. Also my medical conditions prevent me from being at my computer way too much, so I don't have much of a choice. lol
You aren't confined to a computer and can work on the go.
The disadvantage I've ran into is that some programs might struggle with optimization on all the different tablet models. You can experience lag that hinders smooth workflow or make it extremely frustrating to work in. The programs also may not be as powerful as the desktop variants, though some newer programs like Clip Studio and Krita for mobile seem to be 1:1.
I'll start with my favorite.
As I have mentioned in an earlier post, Infinite Painter's simple UI and workflow are perfect for me personally. The 1st screenshot is of landscape mode on Infinite Painter and the finished chibi face of my OC, which I will post fully sometime next month, as I'm waiting on some things to kinda "relaunch" my social medias and make them more art focused.
Very fun to work in, if it wasn't for the lag on my tablet when I hit many layers. If you are a more polished artist than me, you may not need 100+ layers like I do, though.
It's not a chore to switch tools either. The brush selection is simple imo and sadly I can't figure out their brush editor. What's there is really good already, though. I get overwhelmed if there's too many options available. There are some glitches when using masks that cause massive lag if you want to select and move some layers, so that also sucks.
If coming off Photoshop or CSP on desktop like me, it is very different and it takes getting used to. This program has some tutorials online but nowhere near the massive amount of support Clip Studio or Procreate has. This is a smaller studio, so updates and fixes can take a bit.
Next is Ibis Paint. I did do some works many years ago on Ibis Paint. I never liked it and using it felt like torture after mainly using Photoshop most of my life. It actually made me hate doing art! The UI was very cluttered and the filters were terrible to work with; I felt I had no control of how it would apply on the actual overall image. The layers would eat up so much of the screen, too. You also can't move the canvas while the layers are open.
You can see this in the 2nd screenshot. This is a very ancient character concept of the undead form of my OC, which I will re-adapt into his new moe and pudgier design at some point. I never finished the character sheet because I despised working on it in Ibis Paint so much lmao
However, one of my favorite JP artists uses Ibis Paint and I've seen some professional works done on this program. So I don't want it to seem like it's worthless just because I couldn't get used to working on it. It's popular in Japan and has a good amount of tutorials available.
I ended up uninstalling Medibang and I vaguely remember not liking the UI, either. Didn't test this one out much, sadly. It's one of the go-to Android programs, though. This has been around since I was trying Ibis Paint 4 years ago. I've seen many artists swear by this program.
When I tried Krita for mobile, it was in Beta and performed horribly and clunky. However, this has been fixed a lot in the last two years and many people I've seen on videos are recommending it as the free alternative to Clip Studio Paint. They have ported over the desktop version the way Clip Studio has but also made it more intuitive to utilize on tablets. Krita is also open source. It's the 3rd screenshot. Here's a link to the video it's from going over some art programs for Android; I felt it was an informative watch.
I also just found out about a new drawing app for Android called HiPaint. This is a Chinese "knockoff" of Procreate for Android and hey, it's apparently really damn good and since the devs of Procreate won't release their program on Android, this is definitely the closest thing in terms of the UI and features.
I've never tried Procreate but coming from Infinite Painter, the HiPaint UI is fantastic. I can see why people like Procreate now.
I tried some brushes on this. Not a big fan of the ink ones when I was doing fast doodles as the one I wanted to use felt laggy and there is some glitchyness when using the airbrush. The video I will link touches on these two points, too. The app is newer, so maybe that will be ironed out and some people report no glitches on their tablets for the airbrush. HiPaint is the last screenshot here and it basically looks 1:1 to Procreate and it really nails the small details of some of the Procreate features. The video I watched on it was very good, too.
As I want to keep everything consistent for when I'm able to work on my computer, I will still try to use the Clip Studio Paint mobile app and get used to it. Going to see into getting a Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. The screen is huge and will accommodate the CSP messy UI on mobile a bit better.
I have heard many mixed things about Procreate for the iPad. Some claim it's better than Clip Studio and the best art program created and others claim it's absolute garbage and a mess. However, I really don't want to buy a CRAPple iPad. Overall, most people recommend it despite me seeing a decent chunk of negative opinions. But since there is no Android version, I can't give it a shot.

I'm posting more on my Misskey server nowadays. If my instance blows up, you will find me here.
