I could be sad that Pluto is currently classified as a dwarf planet.
Rather, I choose to look at this this way: Pluto wears its beard in man-braids, carries a battleaxe, and is handily available for tossing into a legion of orcs.
Dwarf planets.
They’re awesome.
And we’ve got a whole army of them camped out in the outer Solar System, protecting us from space orcs.
Represent.
I…
I’m surprisingly okay with this
I am 5000% on board for this type of thinking.
In fact, I am so on board with this idea, I have named the dwarf Heartbeard. Heartbeard shall protect us from invading Orcs.
Okay, so reading the actual Law as it’s written in legalese, I even MORE think people on Tumblr are freaking out over nothing. To TL;DR it in human speak, it says along the lines of:
If you want to make a work based on something you find on the internet (Let’s say a drawing on DA), then you have to TRY and find the copyright holder. Not just a “Google search, do I find them? Nope! This is mine now” but like, a DETECTIVE level search for them.
This means E-mails, websites they are on, usernames they go by, addresses, phone numbers, the works. You HAVE to TRY and find the Owner of that work.
Then and ONLY THEN can you file a copyright for it to make it yours.
BUT IF THEY ARE USING THAT PROPERTY, AND YOU’RE JUST UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME, then you can still file for Infringement because you have been posting the same content and still have full copyright on your work.
This literally means you have to basically be dead, go completely dark, or not care at all for someone to take a piece of work you posted up and make it their own.
The other half is about pieces of work that have so many people help make it literally no one knows who has copyright on what.
Example: Slenderman. 1 guy on a Forum made the original pictures. Marble Hornets then made a popular Youtube series that added to that lore. Slender: The Arrival then made collecting pages popular. Various other people added Proxies, and Symbols, and new characters, etc, etc
In the case of this, they want to Create an organization where all of those Copyright holders can choose to be a part of it or not, and you all get compensation if someone comes along and decides to use part of your idea.
Literally no one will be able to just casually steal your ideas or your copyrights and they’re not being ‘flushed down the toilet’ as a popular image is showing.
So yeah, basically as far as I can tell Tumblr is upset over basically nothing. They think the scary legal speak is saying “Gov’munt gonna come and steal mah baby!” when in actuality the new Copyright bill is about giving the people the ability to create projects out of things that either no one cares about/owns anymore anyway, or so many people are part of the project that it’s just easier to split the compensation anyway.
If you have specific examples from the law itself that proves me wrong, then by all means feel free to correct me, but otherwise it’s all just mass hysteria, as per usual on this website.
my first wondertrade in oras and i got a machamp incredible
all it knows is dig
level 31 and it just knows dig
what am i supposed to do with this
is
is this machamp’s name “homo matsuri”
as in
“homo festival”
yea this is good
Some more interesting information:
“Dig” in Japanese was originally “Ana wo horu,” which translates to “Dig a hole,” with the direct object’s being “Ana,” “a hole” and the verb’s being “horu,” “dig.”
The common writing of “ana,” “穴,” is the same as a colloquial term for the buttocks, “ketsu.”
“Horu,” in addition to it’s more standard definition, is also a slang verb meaning “to have anal sex (between two men).”
Your new Machamp is named “Homo Festival,” and it’s only move is to fuck a man in the ass.
-you guys attack Matt Burnett–a STAFF member–over Alexandrite’s design when Fusion Cuisine aired, causing him to leave Tumblr. And it caused the Crewniverse page to remove their ask box
-you attack people who draw the Gems and other characters wrong, cosplay them wrong, and do anything wrong in your eyes
-you’ve attacked people to take down their Gemsonas after a new Gem is revealed. Do you KNOW how many people had to rename their Peridot gemsonas?
-you’ve attacked the Uncle Grandpa fandom because of the crossover, spreading hate like some entitled little shits who think this show is the best thing to happen to TV. FYI, it’s not. Plus, telling everyone to boycott the show because you all thought UG was becoming CN’s “mascot”, like that’s ever been a thing. In my 19 of watching that channel, since when has a show become a channel’s mascot.
-you’ve attack people for just drawing NSFW on tumblr. EVERY fandom does this. It’s a rule of the internet. Rule 34: if it exists, there’s porn of it. Steven universe is not an exception
-you’ve leaked episode before their air dates like it’s cute, that it’s okay to reveal a show’s story before shows. A lot of people I know don’t like spoilers. I like spoilers because it adds on to my fun, but DON’t and STOP doing that shit. No one likes it. STOP
-And now, you guys are bringing an actual motel’s ratings down OVER SOME FUCKING SHOW?! it’s not a joke guys. This isn’t funny. Someone’s business is going down the drain because your your actions. This bring SU a bad rep. This brings the Crewniverse a bad name. It’s not funny. And you people going over and giving them 5-star ratings isn’t going to fix things. It’s basically fraud, and you guys are going to get that damn motel in trouble, or even closed down for some fake shit like that.
I’m so sick of this. THINK FOR A MINUTE. DO ANY OF YOU THINK THAT WHAT I LISTED ABOVE IS OKAY? I’M FUCKING SICK OF SEEING THIS SHIT AND I’M ASHAMED TO CALL ME A FAN OF THE SHOW BECAUSE OF YOU HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF PEOPLE DOING THIS. THIS SHOW IS NOT THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD. YOU ARE NOT AN ENTITLED FANDOM. STOP. THIS. NOW.
DAMN
Don’t forget the brony fiasco. And the headcanon policing.
And the whole, “THIS IS MAKING THE STRAIGHTS MAD!!” bullshit
If you haven’t done any of these things, remember, it’s not aimed at you and thank you for continuing to be lovely members of the fandom. Also, people have been tagging spoilers with “su spoilers”, which you can blacklist if you wish not to see them. ^ v ^
To add to OP’s message: I especially dislike it when members of the fandom give cosplayers crap for not fitting the characters’ body types. A short person can cosplay Rose! A tall person can be Amethyst! A skinny person can cosplay as Jasper! And please don’t get pissy about people of different races cosplaying certain gems/secondary characters. The gems are aliens and people can’t help the race they were born with. Also, just because you don’t agree with someone’s gem design, don’t send them hate. That’s not justified in the slightest, especially on anon. If it really bugs you, just be politie and ask them why they made certain choices for their gemsona’s design in private, one on one.
We need (to continue) to be kind to each other. There’s always a section of people that’s rude in every fandom, but it’s up to us to not contribute to that rudeness/lessen its amount, ya feel me?
Garnet would kick all your fucking asses right now.
DOn’t forget that despite all this, they still think they’re the most pure and innocent fandom ever and did nothing wrong.
They’re worse than homestuck and superwholock because at least those two acknowledge that their fandoms are shit.
Basically they got three robots, told them that two of them were given “dumbing pills”, and they asked one which pill it was given.
The robot of course wasn’t sure if it had or hadn’t yet and said “I don’t know”, but after it looked at the other silent robots (who were actually unable to speak from the start), it realized that its fully functional, and then was finally able to say “I know now.”
It can assess itself and its behavior in relation to other robots and people. It can make that differentiation between “me” and “I”, and understand that it is an individual.
People are shrugging this off, but this is a similar self-awareness test to how people put mirrors in front of animals to see if it treats the reflection like another animal or treat it like a reflection.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
