Please spread this around, so that people aren’t reblogging inaccurate and misleading things from that account.
Let’s not jump to conclusions, and here the account out. It’s done no harm and are using a platform that allows 120 characters.
1. Twitter allows 140 characters.
2. Given everything that points to Russian influence in the government and Russian attempts to destabilize the United States, do you really think it’s a good idea to ‘hear out’ an account that is spreading disinformation and engendering fear and panic?
Information related to the tweets reblogged the other day
also trump pretty much spends his whole LIFE on twitter you dont think the best way to get him to fucking lose it would be spreading shit about him on his favourite website????
i wasn’t originally gonna say anything about this because i know it’s more or less a funny observation but i feel the need to point a few things out
homestuck(mspaintadventures) sprites are placeholders, a style of art that is meant to be as generic as possible so that artists are free to interpret their features as they will. dark hair, glasses, this outfit, the rest is up to you. they are even canonically aracial and their bodytypes have been known to change in-comic. that’s what this means. homestuck(mspaintadvendtures) is also, despite it’s popularity, an indie comic that isn’t as widespread as it seems to be.
disney is a multi-billion dollar legacy corporation that has been around for generations. whether they wanted to or not, every children’s movie they put out sets an example and a standard for impressionable young children. so when they make the same generic, big-eyed, small mouthed, round cheeked, small chinned white girls as every protag or female lead, it becomes a major issue, because it’s a beauty standard that very few people can actually adhere to.
so yeah, disney and their current direction in character design is still worse than this.
Holy shit
‘let me just equate a huge decades-established corporation with billions of dollars and experienced artists at their disposal with a dude working on a webcomic in his house, most likely on his own, most likely wearing nothing but a pair of horse-pattern boxers’
What “retro-influenced” indie devs think they look like
youre not going far enough back my dude
the SNES (the platform megaman 7 was first released on) was a 16-bit game, which is why that sprite is as detailed as it is, but video games didn’t start at 16-bit, no siree.
^manic miner, 1983, ZX spectrum
^ basketball (creative right?), 1978, atari
^ outlaw, 1976, atari
behold the power (or lack of) of 8-bit processors.
