Warthur posted:I mean, I am an old man who doesn't understand VTubers but I am peripherally aware that attractive anime avatars are kind of the norm for that, but even so... nobody with a male persona? Nobody whose persona is, like, a twisted little monster or a spooky old sorceress or something? You're not likely to find a lot of creepy monster vtuber avatars for the same reason you're not likely to find aspiring pop stars who dress as grubby coal miners: there is considerably more audience for attractive sexy ladies. (Also a lot of people, given the choice, would much rather present themselves as an attractive character than not.)

Short update: the Avatar kickstarter has barely ended, and Magpie has already issued me an unasked-for refund, to lock me out of the comments and make all my comments read 'this pledge has been canceled'. So, if anyone was curious as to Magpie's position on the matter, there you go.

The final stretch goal announced for the Avatar RPG Kickstarter was an AP involving, among other people, Satine Phoenix. This was a concern for a lot of people because Satine was an accomplice for noted harasser Zak S when he was using G+ and the fanbase he had built up to harass many people out of the hobby. She has never apologized for any of this, and even after distancing herself from Zak when rape allegations came out against him, she has gone on to defend other horrible people in the hobby. Several people, including myself, have been asking Magpie Games to explain why they would work with a known abuser. They have yet to comment on the matter.

Ugh that sucks, kinda glad I ended up not backing that project. Amusing seeing all the brainworm folk coming out and saying people are dumb for cancelling pledges over it...

So The Broken Token guy made another insufficient and kinda lovely statement. He's gone from "it was all consensual and fine, and also lies" to "okay it was true but consensual and, okay, still not a great look I suppose." He's stepped down from operations but it looks like he still owns the company, so that's obviously insufficient for anyone who gives a drat. Oh and he laid off over a dozen employees, while failing to take sole blame for that, leaving the door wide open for chuds to blame the accusers for those lost jobs. https://twitter.com/tbt_gaming/status/1433528322474971137?s=19

I'm hoping the remaining 10 just walk the gently caress out. It's clear he hasn't learned since he continues to focus on calling the behavior consensual, despite that being something of a fraught concept when you have so much loving power over another person.

This is kind of industry-related: GM app has to shut down due to a breach enabled by hardcoded credentials. https://twitter.com/gmtheapp/status/1433840472577957891 Edit: VVV LOL, egg on my face it's a Good Morning not Game Mastering app.

What's that company worth out of curiosity? A lot less now that it looks like they've lost contracts, but there is still value in the tooling, setting and fabrication stuff.

There's totally a guy who vtubes as an orc out there, but the internet being what it is, anime girl avatars are what bring in the clicks so you'll generally only see the less usual stuff in the indy scene.

So over the last 3 days, Games Workshop has taken their bolter and blown off their foot. Again. https://www.reddit.com/r/Grimdank/comments/pha70k/hello_again_guy_here_the_copyright_claim_has_been/ quote:Hello again, Guy here. The copyright claim has been removed. Thanks so much for all your support. GW manually demonitized this review, that all of 3 seconds of viewing, would have known is a review and covered under fair use. With 254K subscribers. Well done GW head of copyright control. You sure protected the brand in a good way! They removed it today, but I know this is going to happen again. Also, GW does not credit the artists who made their Warhammer+ content.

GW does not credit artists or writers in their rule books and other material, because people would take offense of their existence. What happened to Matt Ward is just one example: https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/dv0nry/games_workshop_matt_ward/ https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/f/p/1907079874871853679 https://spikeybits.com/2016/08/100-accurate-history-gw-matt-ward-satire.html He even got death threats if I recall correctly.

Hell, one animator got a bunch of abuse just the other month for saying he was going to work for gw, to the point that he ended up backing out. And I don't actually trust midwinter when he says it was manually reviewed and demonetized, the guy has a history of posting bullshit to make himself look better. It was probably an algorithm flagging it and someone just hitting yes without paying attention.

Invent a controversy involving yourself and the biggest brand on the market so you can take a brave and controversial stand that will garner respect from people in a subculture where opinions on said brand are hotly debated.
