Puppy Love Pages 20-23
Page 20 : A digital comic page featuring colorful, anthropomorphic animals. Panel 1 : Kip gets closer to Mason, looking panicked. Mason flinches. Kip : "I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, I just thought- I didn't mean it like- Mason, I thought you were trying to say something!" Panel 2 : A close-up of Mason looking anxious and sweating. Mason (thinking) : "What do i do?" Panel 3 : Kip and Mason are lit brightly. Kip : "I-I'm so sorry, I'm such and idiot!! I knew you weren't flirting with me, I'm so stupid!" Mason (thinking) : "I didn't prepare for this. Why did you have to say this now?" Kip : "I'm sorry, please, don't hate me!" Panel 4 : Kip becomes withdrawn and starts to spiral. Kip : "I don't know why I grabbed your hand! I'm sorry, I-" Mason (thinking) : "Stop apologizing." Kip : "I- I can't-" Mason (thinking) : "I'm not ready. I- I'm not...!" Panel 5 : Mason suddenly grabs Kip's arms. Mason : No, no. You were right. It was flirting. Panel 6 : Kip looks up to Mason, dumbfounded. Kip : "I... wha?" Page 21 : A digital comic page featuring colorful, anthropomorphic animals. Panel 1 : Mason is still grabbing Kip's arms, looking panicked. Mason : "It-It wasn't supposed to be like that. I did it for you." Panel 2 : A close-up of Mason. Mason : "I overheard you say something- that you wanted to kiss me" Mason (thinking) : "What am I saying?" Mason : "And i wanted to make you happy so i started to entertain your feelings, and one thing led to another" Panel 3 : Mason still holding Kip's arms in front of the bus stop. Mason : "I didn't mean for it to go this far, it was just making you so excited and..." Mason (thinking) : "This isn't how I planned." Mason : "You didn't want me to stop, so-" Mason (thinking) : "Stop. Stop talking!" Panel 4 : The frame turns mostly black. Kip pulls away from Mason. Panel 5 : Mason panicking more and more. Mason : "I was going to tell you... I..." Panel 6 : Kip looks shocked and incredulous. Kip : "... Mason, what?" Panel 7 : Kip : "You've known how I felt this whole time and you waited until now to say anything? You- you can't just play with my feelings like that ! How is any of this okay?" Page 22 : A digital comic page featuring colorful, anthropomorphic animals. Panel 1 : Kip : "You were just toying with my feeling for weeks!? You didn't even like me back ! Why would you lead me on like this?" Panel 2 : "That's- That's not- I was doing this for you. You wanted me to flirt with you, didn't you?" Panel 3 : A detailed shot of Kip. They extend past the border of the frame. Kip : "Not like this! I really thought that for once, someone actually liked me! I didn't want this, I was happy with what we had! Just being in your life was enough, I- I... i just don't get it! Is... is it my fault?" Panel 4 : The frame turns dark purple. Kip : "I-It's my fault, isn't it...!?" Mason : "I... I..." Panel 5 : Mason (thinking) : "It wasn't supposed to turn out this way." Kip : "W-Was I being too clingy? I knew i was asking too much!" Mason (thinking) : "This isn't how I planned it" Page 23 : A digital comic page featuring colorful, anthropomorphic animals. Panel 1 : Kip leans back and looks away. Mason (thinking) : "I can't breathe...! Why can't I breathe?" Kip : "Mason, I-" Panel 2 : A close-up of Kip. Kip : "I can't- I have to go!" Panel 3 : A close-up, low angle shot of Mason. Mason (thinking) : "Nothing is coming out- Say something, please!" Panel 4 : Kip starts to run away. Mason (thinking): "They're leaving, say something !" Panel 5 : Kip looks back while running away. Mason (thinking): "That look- That same look...!" Panel 6 : A close-up of Mason. Mason (thinking): "I've seen them make that face before I never wanted to see them like this! Not again...!" Panel 7 : Flashback, two years ago. A wide shot of the city skyline at night. Thunder crashes. Mason : "Kip!!"

A digital comic featuring anthropomorphic animals. A goat and crocodile are sitting together. The goat asks, "Hey Duncan, how do you think Kip's confession is going?" The crocodile responds, "probably something like..." while pulling out two photorealistic plushies of Kip and Mason, two dog characters. He voices them, pretending to make them talk. "Howdy Mason! I really like you! Would you like to go out with me?" He makes the other plushie respond. "Sure thing, Kippers! I've been dropping hints that I'd like to date the whole time!" "What wonderful and open communication we have between each other! I love the normal and healthy relationship we have!" The goat smiles, thinking "Where did he get these??" while the crocodile makes the two plushies kiss.

This has always been a extremely tiny screeching minority demanding that their bigotry dictate that no one else's children can learn of the existence of LGBTQ people.

Puppy Love - Pages 16-19
Page 16 : A digital comic page featuring colorful, anthropomorphic animals. Panel 1 : Mason looking pensive. Mason (thinking) : "Wasn't that my goal from the start?" Panel 2 : Kip and Mason walking hand in hand. Kip's tail is wagging. Mason's isn't. Mason (thinking) : "Is.. this really so bad?" Panel 3 : A very wide aerial view of a sinuous street leading to a downwards slope. Panel 4 : Kip and Mason walking downhill. Kip : "Um Mason, I'm sure you're wondering why we took this detour through the city" Mason (thinking) : "Detour?" Panel 5 : A close-up of Kip's face. Kip : "I thought it might be nice to stop by before I left for the month." Panel 6 : Kip and Mason are still walking down, looking around them. This part of town looks a little more run down, vegetation is growing on the buildings, and there are graffiti and cracks on the stone walls. Page 17 : A digital comic page featuring colorful, anthropomorphic animals. Panel 1 : A close-up of Mason looking around, pensive. Mason : "...It is" Panel 2 : Kip running their hand along a fence. Kip : "I... I used to really hate being back here. But, recently, it feels different. Knowing this is where I met you changed what being here meant to me. It... It's like a physical representation of when my life started to turn around" Panel 3 : Kip looking down shyly. Mason is looking straight ahead. Kip : "When, um... You came into it." Panel 4 : An extreme close-up of Mason's face. Mason (thinking) : "Kip... They're being so vulnerable..." Panel 5 : Kip looking back at a restaurant topped with a big fish-shaped sign. Kip : "This is where we first ate together, remember?" Panel 6 : Kip and Mason are reaching the bottom of the slope, walking along a brick wall. Kip : "And here's where I slipped and fell and we both got covered in mud...! It really does feel like yesterday, doesn't it?" Page 18 : A digital comic page featuring colorful, anthropomorphic animals. Panel 1 : A close-up of Kip and Mason walking side by side. Kip : "I... I'm so lucky to have met you. I really have no idea who I'd be without you" Panel 2 and 3 : A single drawing of Mason split over 2 panels. They are anxiously grabbing their scarf. Mason : "As.. am I." Mason (thinking) : "They're being so sentimental... Surely... they aren't trying to...?" Panel 4 : Mason letting go of Kip's hand. Panel 5 : Kip and Mason have reached the bus stop. Mason tries walking away. Mason : "Er- we're here at the bus stop. It'd be best if I started heading back before it gets dark out. Call me when you're at the station, alright ?" Kip : "Ah!! U-um, wait, if you could just stay a few minutes! There's uhm, something I wanted to tell you!" Panel 6 : Mason starts walking. Kip reaches for them. They both push back and forth, Mason trying to leave and Kip pushing to stay. Kip blurts out, "Mason! I-" Page 18 : A digital comic page featuring colorful, anthropomorphic animals. Panel 1 : Kip confesses. They are blushing and look very tense Kip : "I- I like you!! I like you, like, crazy! More than I've felt with anybody else! Every moment I'm around you feels like my heart is going to explode!" Panel 2 : Kip looks down shyly, smiling and blushing. Kip : "I can barely think straight around you !" Panel 3 : Kip slowly starts looking back up. Kip : "Everything you do, even just being around-" Panel 4 : Kip finally looks back up at Mason. They immediately stop, shocked. Kip : "...you" Panel 5 : Mason is sweating, looking horrified. Behind them, the panel shatters like glass and reads "TOO LATE".

I simply cannot stress it enough.

You cannot sit this out.

They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised.

Very interesting algorithm analysis, which explains the repeated problems with content moderation getting in the way of social justice

tldr: it's always good to block a TERF or a white supremacist or any other type of fascist

original post: www.tumblr.com/chiptrillino...
Screenshot of the Advocate article headline showing an image of bluesky's logo and JKR, with the title "Outcry grows after multiple trans uers were targeted for mild criticisms of the anti-trans billionaire" Screenshot of tumblr text post by fourohfourlifenotfound August 24 part 1/3: "If we are ever going to stop this, then you guys need to start learning why this happens. And it's not always because some executive made a decision to favor a TERF. It's because the technology is broken in a way TERFs have learned to use to their advantage. So content moderation is a HUGE task. It is incredibly inefficient to manually monitor all user reports-- when you "flag" something as spam or inappropriate or 'inciting harm' (what Blueskye is saying the banned users had in their posts). So what actually happens is that the bulk of it is reviewed by machine. The precise "how" is a bit of a black box (if you say exactly, it makes it more vulnerable to being bypasses), but we generally know it's a bit of machine learning ("ai", but not he chatgpt kind) and a bit of automation. Generically this gets referred to as an "algorithm" (which is a meaningless word I don't have time to unpack here). The TERFs have a formula. A battle plan, if you will. I've been watching them use it for almost a decade. And they play social media sites like a fiddle every single time." Text post part 2/3: "The way it works is that they coordinate attacks on targets they dislike. (Usually trans people, but ace discourse is a notable example of targets not necessarily fitting that demographic.) They send links to each other of posts to report. They'll flag it for whatever the nearest thing they can is. The blueskye users were wishing ill to JK Rowling, so "inciting harm" was the excuse selected. "Inappropriate or sexually explicit content" is a common selection for other trans content. Then what happens is the content moderation "algorithm" sees a huge influx of reports for a certain post or user. And instead of making a human manually review all of that, it automatically initiates a ban or takedown. And if the "algorithm" has word censorship built in, it will begin to auto-flag for things containing words in posts frequently flagged, so it begins to auto-flag the word trans itself. This has been happening for almost a decade. There was a trans youtuber who proved TERF hater group chats flagged his videos so much that it started auto-demonitizing identical videos with the word trans in the title, but leaving ones without the word alone. I strongly suspect this is why we see huge amounts of trans women banned for no reason on tumblr. And this is clearly what is happening now." Text post part 3/3: "How do we fix it? There's no easy solution. All the things about the "algorithm" that make moderation easier for the social media platforms are the exact reasons it's so difficult to defeat. It's hard to teach a machine what's a genuine flag and a malicious one. Again, it's been almost a decade since the issue was raised with youtube, and there has yet to be a solution for rooting out malicious coordinated flagging. But here's one thing that can help: get TERFs off of social media. Stop letting them bait you into petty fights. Learn how to identify them. Block and report them. " Response by drtanner: "Blocking TERFs and other assorted bigots is especially effective on bsky, because the block function there is nuclear. In short, if you block someone, not only can they not view your account or any of your posts, but any replies they made on your posts will no longer be viewable by others, even if they haven't personally blocked that user themselves. If they quote you, you can even decouple your post from their quote. In short, blocking someone on bsky produces mutual hiding of content, and it's extremely effective at starving these cunts of oxygen. Bigots who can't convince people to fight with them and whose posts don't gain any traction because they're blocked by everyone and their dog leave the platform, i.e. Jesse Singal. It works, people just need to remember to do it more. Preemptive blocking of dickheads before they start shit with you is the best way to prevent things like this from happening. "
