  • i didn’t learn art from tutorials; it’s mainly some passion, some practice, and then going to art school where i learned new techniques, then stopping and finding my true passion in game programming.

    anyway, a couple of tips:

    • draw what you see, not what you think you see; to illustrate, take a picture, flip it upside down, and try to copy that in procreate
    • pay attention to negative space; that’s the space between objects. if you’re drawing a still life of a fruit bowl, focus on area around the fruit bowl.





  • the way i see it, “folks” can refer to a more traditional group of people, most likely rural, and you wouldn’t call nobles or people of other high status “folks”.

    but also i doubt people think it is problematic; it’s just a quirk of the English language that “chat” emerged basically out of nowhere with the closest analogue being “audience”.

    i mean, “habit” is a weird word for it. i’d call it more of a trend. “brain rot” seems like an adequate description.

    it comes from streamer culture where streamers would refer to their audience as “chat” because the chat box is the main way for viewers to interact with whoever they are watching.








  • it’s kind of hard to just talk about this subject in a historical and scientific manner without there being a brigade just because there wasn’t an opinion raised on the matter in the post.

    i could have started that post with “child sexual abuse is not okay imo”, but then that would have been like putting “asbestos free!” on a bag of crisps: if i am clarifying that, something fishy is going on.




  • i know i’m going to get downvoted for this.

    this current reaction to the subject of underage sexual relations is entirely based on societal standards.

    for example, the whole talk of “pedophiles are monsters” are pretty much exclusive to the western world due to the US being on a pedophile scare craze, so much so that sitting at a playground would already give you the “child predator” label and have the police called on you.

    in the eastern world, on the other hand, it’s less prominent. it’s treated as a crime, yes, but it’s not sensationalized. as an extreme example, lolicon media is legal in Japan, and some anime is stuffed with sexualized depictions of adolescent-looking girls that happen to be like a hundred years old or something. it’s all legal, because it’s not real, and there’s way less of a scare about it.

    in ancient Greece, pederasty was socially-acceptable, where a man can enter a romantic and sexual relationship with a male youth. also, bottoming was shameful and would get you ridiculed, so any sex in pederasty was often intercrural (between the thighs). the whole thing really throws a wrench into the whole “ancient Greece was a gay haven” thing. shit was wild.


  • it is a paraphilic disorder. a paraphilia is basically a fetish; a paraphilic disorder is a paraphilia that, if satisfied, is harmful to society or self.

    i’ve also seen some people describe it as a sexual orientation. i disagree with that, but at the same time homosexuality was considered a paraphilia a while ago, and the difference between sexuality and kink isn’t quite so well defined or researched, so i see where they’re coming from.
