Basically once they started being a military contractor actively implementing new AI solutions aiding Israel, the US, and more. Or, when they started doing evil instead of avoiding it.
(Please don’t @ me with all the “yeah but they did THIS AND THAT years ago… we all have our own cutoff point).
Same. I honestly truly miss the magic and wonder if it, figuratively and literally. It was big for me growing up. Was devastated to see what my fandom had supported 💔
You can think that, but it’s wholly inaccurate. Especially these days.
The more people that engage with an artist’s work in any way online, the more analytics teams see that. They then note a steady demand for content around said IP. In order to create more content, the creator/author must be compensated even if not directly involved. If that compensation goes to a living person who willfully and knowingly uses it to justify horrendous actions, then every single person in that line of consumption is culpable. Starting with the consumer. Us.
This is exactly why they keep creating more shit for this franchise. It’s because people keep engaging and supporting it and demanding more. So then the author (who is btw on record as saying that her continued success is proof that people support her opinions), keeps getting richer and richer and goes on to have bigger platforms and unchecked actions.
As a trans person, if I knew any action taken by myself or a family member contributed even a small fraction of a percent of a single cent to that thunder cunt, I’d be nauseated.
Bottom line, real people > fake wizards.
But that’s me. You do you.
I’ve had good luck with Talkspace. Unfortunately (for a plethora of reasons) I’m in the US so I can’t speak to its availability in the EU, but my personal experience has been great as I’m able to seek therapists/psychologists for talk therapy, and also psychiatric care for meds as needed.
EDIT to add: The main reason I prefer Talkspace to other platforms is because they take insurance. Again, primarily a US problem, but noting for others who may see this.
Ngl. Literally crying reading this. That level of connection that I’ll never know 😭💚💚
