and I hate when I point out subtle antiblackness I feel like I'm killing the mood. it's genuinely so. so upsetting that it's just normalized to treat black people as political weapons and jokes. not as real people.

you people pretend to listen to us until it's inconvenient to you and makes you think about how you view black people and culture. i hate how performative and isolating these "safe spaces" are. it's safe for whites, not black folks.

it's just infuriating that black culture is treated as nothing but trendy lil memes and when you try to explain this to non blacks they get defensive about it.
black people are nothing but props and meme fodder to you people, especially in queer spaces.

This is an "and/also" to the conversation, but it's also valuable to discuss Knuckles as an Afro-Indigenous character and the implications that come with it.
First, if you want to learn more about Blackface, the white gloves with animated characters, and the history behind it, check this book out:

George Herriman is arguably one of the first major black artists in comics.
And the only reason for that is because NO ONE KNEW HE WAS BLACK.
He was light skinned enough to be white passing & hid that fact into old age so that he WOULD be able to continue drawing largely due to rampant racism.

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide
A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position

same for artists. no artist is burnt out because their workload would be less with AI or their project managing software could be assisted by AI.
we’re burnt out because our work is not respected enough. what we do is seen as disposable and replaceable, rather than valuable.

No, authors aren't burnt out because "writing without AI is slow"

the worst nightmare of corporate box store overlords and small business tyrants alike: undeniable proof that pedestrianization is good & should be standard in way more parts of the city even though it means cars [gasps in horror] will have fewer places to park!! and people might have to take TRANSIT
Good news: Sales at Pike Place Market are up 6.5% in July as well! Making the street more of a welcoming place for people to enjoy, sit, and shop seems to be paying off!

i'm so done with the itch discourse but i think it's both fair to say that they're not doing things to be intentionally harmful while also fair to say that it was a bad idea to have so much important infrastructure riding on a platform like itchio and they have handled a lot poorly as a result

Hi Itch, author of the original article here. Thanks for ignoring my repeated requests to comment, and then coming out of the woodwork days later to claim that my article - which verified each game's indexing status independently - is 'full of misinformation.'

This article is full of misinformation unfortunately. The games Wendy and co. are indexed: itch.io/search?type=...
I think maybe the person is confused because it doesn't show up in the autocomplete? Autocomplete only shows the top ~1000 games: itch.io/t/3361091/se...
