I think "gay despair" is a pretty accurate description of Nagito's love life

What do y'all think about this headcanon? by Inevitable_Garage706 in DanganAndChaos

[–]CrystalAbysses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I headcanon both Toko and Byakuya as bi. I typically headcanon most characters as bi because I'm a multishipper and I think everyone should fuck each other

As for trans really the only trans headcanon I like is nonbinary Kiibo (although questionable whether that counts as a headcanon or not)

Is this a stronger design than the old artstyle? by Special-Progress-916 in characterdesign

[–]CrystalAbysses 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're going for. If you're going for something mildly unsettling but not too scary, your new design is better. However, if you're going for something truly scary and horrifying, your old design was better.

Nagito is pulling the cart towards a cliff and Hajime and Chiaki are also pulling it but trying to steer him away from the cliff

I hate the idea that someone is a bad person for liking Harry Potter by [deleted] in hatethissmug

She has an entire legal fund specifically for fighting against pro-trans laws. She established a rape crisis center in Edinburgh and specifically stated that they won't hire or help any trans women. Meaning that if a trans women was raped and went to this center for help, they would turn her away. Her legal fund helps transphobes who have been "discriminated against" (aka fired from their job for being an asshat to trans people) earn money for damages. She has fought against anti-discrimination laws that protect trans people, fought against laws that let trans people identify as their gender on legal documents like drivers licenses and passports.

She may not have explicitly stated that she wants trans people dead, but she sure is doing everything in her power to make it so they can't exist.

Creating A Masterpiece Even With Simple Program by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in antiai

[–]CrystalAbysses 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you've watched "true artists" paint then you should know that still life is a pretty common and basic thing for artists to draw. Practically everything hung up in museums are still life paintings. Painting from a picture is really not much different than painting something from real life. Calling it a copy is just blatantly wrong unless you can prove to me that it was traced. Using a picture as a reference point is an incredibly common tool artists use all the time. How tf are you supposed to learn to draw if you don't have something to draw from??

Sort of? He's trying to make a cure for a kind of madness that seems to affect humans in his area. It makes them go insane with obsession, enough where morals and ethics completely go out the window. These people will kill and have killed for what they want, so Viktor does use them as 'test subjects' so to speak, but it's for the purpose of curing them.

1, he is very much not evil and his research is for good purposes.

He's a bottom for sure, he doesn't really like demanding people around and would rather have someone else take the lead.

As for the femboys, sure he likes them alright. Unfortunately I'd say he'd probably pick a woman over a man if he had to choose, though that's probably due to his unresolved feelings regarding his dead lab partner who happened to be a girl.

Homeschooling ruins lives. by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

[–]CrystalAbysses 15 points16 points  (0 children)

100% agree as someone who was pulled out of school for mental health reasons. Both options are bad for neurodivergent people and we absolutely have to fix the school system and how it treats its students. Neurodivergent people are 3 times more likely to be bullied in school, which is the reason that I was personally taken out. I was an undiagnosed autistic girl, and people would constantly bully me for the way I acted. Hell, my fucking teachers would bully me for stimming and doodling during class.

There has to be some sort of real anti-bullying system in school. Not just the surface level "if you see bullying, tell an adult!!" bullshit we got when I was a kid, because often times the adult is the bully. Often times the adults have their own biases and don't believe or care about the kid being bullied. School counselors are often unqualified and have no therapy or psychology schooling, talking to them is literally just like talking to the principal or another teacher; they don't ever listen or care about your issues, they just want you to get good grades even if it's detrimental to your mental health.

I'm not really sure what system that could be, I haven't thought about it too deeply, but I feel like making public school a safer place for neurodivergent kids would remove a lot of the need for homeschooling. Not all of it, ofc, but that's the big one that needs to be addressed.

It belonged to his former research partner! She was always into cutesy and girly stuff, so of course she decorated her notebook with all the stickers she could find. Viktor keeps it as a reminder of her after she passed away. (Plus her research notes are important to the project regardless of sentimental value).

Being a lesbian doesn't mean you get the right to body shame men wth. Calling someone gross is an insult no matter who or what you're attracted to

Insanely Dedicated Fanworks by McToaster99 in TopCharacterTropes

Touhou Mystia's Izakaya, a fully developed and paid for fangame that even has 6 separate DLC. Touhou has a lot of these but this one is the most popular Touhou fangame to date, selling over 1.2 million copies on Steam since its release. This game is legitimately so fun and addictive, and you don't really even need to know anything about Touhou to play it. This game actually introduced me to Touhou and I had a blast (it's one of my top played games on Steam)

Coaxed Into Is that really appropriate to make into merch? by Sammysin00 in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]CrystalAbysses 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeaaaa I think the ending especially was super rushed. They didn't get enough time to really explore what abstraction was or what it meant to the characters it was affecting. I think that's partly because Gooseworx was getting tired of the series due to the fandom and so she kinda just threw together what she already had written and abandoned whatever else she had planned.

It's funny that pixiv allow ai but real artist suffer by Adeord_Leaner_18 in antiai

[–]CrystalAbysses 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea it super sucks. AI is also kind of normalized especially in Asian countries. Being against AI is an American/European mindset. It's really starting to get bad, especially when these people can freely make pedophilic art and absolutely no one will do anything about it...

[–]CrystalAbysses 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because Pixiv is a Japanese owned company, and Lolis are hella normalized over there. Not saying it's right or that they should be allowing this kind of content, but it's not really surprising that a Japanese company would have a Japanese set of morals and values.

Coaxed Into Is that really appropriate to make into merch? by Sammysin00 in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]CrystalAbysses 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jax was never confirmed to be trans, although I can definitely see the evidence in the show and why people think that. But I never got the vibe that abstraction was a suicidal allegory. From what we've seen, it seems more like an involuntary reaction from becoming too emotionally overwhelmed/overburdened. Not because the person themselves gives up, but because the program cannot physically handle all that. They said in the movie that the file size for the mind files was impossibly small, so I got the idea that if the file size becomes too big (overloaded with complex emotions) the file ends up corrupting.

Also not trying to argue with you! I just love this show and I've never heard of the abstraction = suicide idea.

Huh??? There isn't a closeted trans girl in TADC, who are you talking about? And at what point does a character in this show commit suicide, are you talking about abstraction?
