“And like it or not, more and more women are gamers, just like you and I. So instead of completely dismissing their concerns, maybe, just maybe, take a little more time to listen to what they feel, why they feel they’ve been mostly marginalized in games.
I look forward to games that take more time building their female personalities, rather than just using them as tools or helpers that throw you things, and you should too. Because frankly, that’s gonna lead to far more interesting stories, opportunities and new experiences.
And honestly, guys, we’re always gonna have our stripper mini-games and our princess-savers, so why not campaign alongside them to see more mature games rise for everyone else as well?”
Video game reviewer Angry Joe giving his rant about the response to Anita Sarkeesian’s videos discussing female tropes in video games. [ x ]
Right on the fucking ball!
“So take a breather and realise it’s perfectly fine for women to ask questions - to criticise pointless and exploitative material, and to look forward to more games that elevate their gender, women, to more than goals or objects to be won or saved, and into legitimate heroes in their own right.
And, after all that, if you still don’t get it, bro, and you think she should die and every feminist with her - it’s because, number one, you’re a fucking idiot. Number two, you couldn’t give a shit about anyone but yourself. And, number three, outside your mother, you’ve never had to actually care about what other women think or feel.”
I found his little speech to be incredibly motivating and well spoken. I really like and respect the man, so this made me like him and respect him even more.
Someday, I hope to meet this man and shake his hand. I remember this rant and it’s amazing. He even made a point about, you know, women DO love sex, too, but there’s nothing wrong with having substance behind it, to want more from it. Just… watch the video, it’s awesome.
So I’ve decided to open up some RL art commission slots.
And for anything from $1-$9 you’ll get a sketch of some sort.
My rules are simple.
No furries (Cat ears and tail are okay, like anime neko)
Very mild gore
No rape or extreme fetish scenes
I will do porn, but nothing like tentacles or anything like that.
Men are hard for me to draw (no pun intended, her her her) but I will do my best at them.
I ENJOY DRAWING WOMAN A LOT
I will do any form of LGBT art you want.
Please give as much detail as you can if it’s an OC, as many refs as it takes.
I REALLY WANT TO BRANCH OUT AND DRAW MORE PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT ETHNICITY SO PLEASE COMMISSION ME YOU GORGEOUS PEOPLE
Most fandoms go, ask first.
For payment, my paypal is Timelessreference@gmail.com
I take half before, and half after. You will get a heavy watermarked image of the full thing upon completion until you send the last of the commission money. (For anything under $10 you pay when I get it done <3)
(If you want to donate, that would be cool! It pays for my mental medication and transportation to and from therapy and my psych appointments~! Because a mentally stable bunbun is a good thing)
If you are interested, please send me a submission saying you are interested and we will go from there.
Hey guys! I have a booth and a panel at Otakon this year!
Please come by Booth Q01 (listed as “Yugioh Abridged”) in the Dealers Room at any time this weekend to come say hey! I’ll be signing, selling, taking photos, doing voice requests, etc.
Also the Abridged Series panel is tonight (Friday) from 6:45pm to 7:45pm in Panels 6. We’re showing a slew of new content. If you’re a fan of the Naruto Spoof series I make, you won’t wanna miss it! The room isn’t too big so come early if you don’t wanna get shut out!

Please reblog if possible, all your support helps.
SIGNAL BOOST! Check out this booth if you are at Otakon :) Martin is amazing, YGO Abridged is hilarious, and he’s also a good friend.
You know I noticed something.
When Haru reaches his hand out, there’s someone (Mako) to grab it from the other side.
When Mako reached out in this part… his hand just hit the wall at the end of the race.
I hope I’m reading too much into this *cries a million tears*
In regards to body shaming I always wonder: why do people feel that big girls need to be complimented by putting down a skinny girl? Do they really think my self-esteem is so shot that they need say I’m fine by making someone else feel bad?
That is not a compliment. That is an insult.
In which I ramble about Free again because that’s a thing that happens now
Spoilers to the latest episode because Makoto, right?
This is the story of a geeky anime/gaming gal by the name of Chibi. Please fasten your seat belts and prepare for... some sort of ride? Oh! I love to write, and I also love doing crafty things. I go to conventions with my partner and sell woodburned things, clocks, mirrors, and more! So expect to see those on here too :)
