prev post was jokey but it does make me absolutely raging that women on screen (animated and not but specifically animated in this context) are by default hairless as if no hair ever grew there at all. theyre also thin by default and anyone questioning why a woman has been designed to be so thin immediately is partaking in discourse, as if the idea that a woman could be like mid size or fat in animation is in itself political. armpit hair on a woman in art is political.. its so dire. in animation i dont expect individual leg hairs to be animated because thats just difficult (unless its a few little lines for texture or in a purposeful stylised way) but it is a conscious choice to design a woman without underarm hair, something almost all adults have. its so glaring to me at this point as a choice that was made in the design process. a man can have a full beard and fuck off fuzzy chest hair but if this woman doesnt have entirely waxed armpits grown men will get too scared. we’ve got to get out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My child, who spends their entire life being transfered from home to car to school and back, and is not allowed to leave the house or talk to anyone and can only in their wildest dreams imagine a life free from constant surveillance, is very sad. Obviously they’re dumb and lazy, like all kids these days.
kind of a tangent but i recently went to a bowling alley with my friend i’m 19 he’s 18 and the woman at the door didn’t want to let us in because there was a sign saying under-18s needed adult supervision. everything got cleared up and we were able to go bowl, but i’m still so mad about the fact that kids need adult supervision to go to a bowling alley and arcade. like okay maybe young kids should have supervision but what do you mean middle and high schoolers need to hold mommy’s hand while they play video games. kids aren’t just addicted to their phones because phones are addicting, we’re addicted to our phones because there’s nothing else to fucking do
I’m sure banning kids from online spaces while simultaneously not ensuring that they have access to offline spaces to socialize in (without having to rely on their parents who already don’t have time for them) will help them feel better & less alienated from society.
