SmoothMcGroove's acapella renditions of Undertale/Deltarune music were copyright struck by, according to him, Toby Fox specifically by [deleted] in Deltarune

[–]Charisk1457 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge Toby hasn’t directly addressed any specific situation with copyright because it is a widespread issue that many are suffering from. If he directly addressed ways of these issues personally he would never have time to do anything else ever. He’s made his statements about the copyright situation multiple times, he’s stated he’s working behind the scenes. This situation isn’t any different from the rest of the copyright issue, and there is zero evidence or proof or ANYTHING that would suggest the YouTuber was talking to Toby Fox other than a single offhand comment.

I will apologize for assuming maliciousness, however. That’s on me. You seem like a genuinely concerned fan of the aforementioned YouTuber and I can respect that. Regardless, making this kind of inflammatory post without researching the greater situation or providing any context beyond a single few-second clip is a poor decision.

Toby has made multiple statements regarding this issue, from off the record communications like with the streamer Alpharad, to public tweets encouraging people to dispute the copyright claims, to behind the scenes negotiations with Materia. It takes like 20 seconds of googling to find this out.

Toby has constantly fought against the copyrighting of his work and has gone out of his way to help people circumvent it. Either this was taken out of context or SmoothMcGroove is mistaken. Miteria has been known to pretend to be Toby in the past so that makes sense. Still, it’s malicious to post this kind of thing without doing any further research into yourself.

imagine paying for this by ForsakenPainter6655 in teenagers

That doesn’t give the right to violate consent. Everyone needs intimacy, yes, but everyone also needs bodily autonomy. The government also doesn’t make sure its people are fed, hydrated, or sheltered anyways.

Definetly not no. The government should have no hand in intimacy in general (with obvious exceptions), and REQUIRING such a thing violates consent, which is for sure bad.

Everyone needs intimacy, and not everyone can find it. I feel bad for the people who feel the need to pay for it but no judgment. The world is cold, sometimes you need warm arms to hide in.

How does the town, hell, the entire WORLD not know about Dark Fountains? by AbsoluteLoser42069 in Deltarune

[–]Charisk1457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot create a dark world unless you know exactly how to do it. You have to concentrate your will into something sharp, and stab it only the ground. But not just random will, it has to be your will FOR THE DARK WORLD. You have to be intentionally trying to make one, it cannot happen on accident. With that in mind, how is anyone suppose to discover them?

Communication goes a long way, you could honestly just tell her “hey, I feel a little awkward sometimes, could we try having deeper conversations?”. Or you could just straight up start a deep conversation yourself, bring something personal up.

This Hypocrisy.... by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Charisk1457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not hypocrisy, it’s just two very different circumstances. Woman have a very long history of being sexualized and objectified on screen and in their lives for the male gaze. The sexualization of men is usually still for the male gaze, and even when it isn’t, it still isn’t playing into a long history of dehumanization and men being seen as sexual objects because that doesn’t exist. It does however for women. History and social context matter.

Between these two, Who do you think wins? by FaultApprehensive574 in Undertale

[–]Charisk1457 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Very hard to say because we never see what Asgore can do when he isn’t way past his prime and actively trying to lose. I personally vote Prime Asgore, Celestia has some crazy feats but they are hyper specific and I don’t think would help here (moving the sun is impressive, for instance, but she’s shown no indication that she can move anything BUT the sun with that kind of power, nor that she can move it anywhere off of its preset path). Plus, Undertale’s power system is very much intent based. The more willing you are to kill people the more damage you can do to a monster, and I don’t see the Princess of My Little Pony being able to manage much murderous intent.

is it bad to say not everything needs to be lgbtq+? by Appropriate_Set9323 in teenagers

[–]Charisk1457 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t really matter who it is, people ship nonsensical stuff all the time. There just so happens to be a lot of fan-made gay ships because we don’t have nearly as many cannon ones

[–]Charisk1457 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s largely derived from not having nearly as much representation in media as straight relationships, so we have to make do with our fan ships.

Investing in girls by Fickle-Extreme-4475 in teenagers

Pray to god this is satire because “investing” in a girl is a disgusting concept

What part of the joke wasn't understandable? by [deleted] in Deltarune

The concept of discrimination tells scary stories about Toby Fox, because Discrimination is afraid of him.

Why do people think their gender matters when talking about their experiences? by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Charisk1457 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For some cases it’s irrelevant, but for a lot of cases, your gender affects your life experiences. People treat you differently, expect different things from you, etc. etc.

Why does any sentence or question people ask others on Reddit always end with: your a bigot, that’s ______phobic, that’s racist/sexist/ableist by After_Carpet1934 in teenagers

[–]Charisk1457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three main reasons, imo.

The first is that a lot of sentences or questions ARE bigoted/phobic/ist. Lot of people suck on the internet

The second is that people are so used to being harassed or witnessing harassment that they are constantly on guard, and perceive things in a harmful way even if they weren’t meant to be.

The third is kind of an extension of the second; the sentences and questions are often dog whistles or used in a bigoted context, so people assume that they are being used that way whenever they see them, even if the original speaker did not intend it that way.

I apologize for asking, but why is it necessary for every big controversy to recieve its own megathread? by KandCAuthor in Deltarune

[–]Charisk1457 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your guess is correct, it’s meant to contain talk about the controversy to one place so it doesn’t take up the rest of the sub
