Military role plays as seen on Roblox fit this model by design. Habbo users were disciplined into doing it. It’s pre moderated content. Platforms inherit the embodiment of child safety and military. They strive on you suppressing intimacy or ambiguity. They don’t want you to be a FREAK

Military intelligence and child safety are built upon the same standard: preventing harm before it occurs using surveillance systems, profiling, classification. That’s why many research labs work on both. Gaming platforms want you to play in a way that is easy to monitor…

Surveillance on Roblox is embedded in the game logic where on Habbo it had to be enforced… embedded because it relies on automated moderation that strives on normative and organized forms of online socialization that are easy to quantified = role playing authority becomes the only viable play

The militarization of child safety…. Surveillance on platforms becoming the norm and the military, police, army become the safest form of fantasy… Roblox is the industrialized and optimized version of authority as fantasies role play, that’s why it’s the dominant front page genre

Finding shojo manga and webcomics was mindblowing for teenage me 🤲 💕
Before that I didn't even think I as a girl could *actually* make *actual* Comics.

It’s actually SUCH a privilege to have grow up reading shoujo manga because I NEVER ever felt that women couldn’t tell stories, couldn’t be authors, or that women stories were not legitimate
