You know what I hate? I hate when any plot point about Silent Hill 1 being discussed is followed up with "Well, according to Silent Hill: Origins—"
I'm sorry, you tried to bring up a garbage game written by a hack and acting like it was relevant to Toyama Keiichiro's writing? Shut up. Don't speak.

Deeply unsurprising that all the straight women lavishing praise on a literal rebranded Harry Potter Draco/Hermione fanfic are deeply transphobic!
Remember this whenever someone tries to justify their continued consumption of HP with "it belongs to the fandom now"

Romance hetleresses are currently trying to cancel a trans woman booktuber, Willow Heath, because she said romantasy hetslop was kind of dumb and tradwifey or something. A selection of comments:

After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

wow apparently a lot of people think they're being VERY clever when they say shit like "you argue like a cis man" "dating you is just like dating a man," "you have cis male passing privilege" and so on to transfems! it's not transmisogyny if you say you're an ally first you see

Willow is a nice and considerate reviewer, and she doesn't have the platform to significantly impact the author's sales. The book in question is a coloniser slave romance with torture porn, adapted from a Dramione fanfic

There's a reason you will all spit "white feminist" with more vitriol than "straight feminist".
Examine why.
It's not my problem that I'm right and you're all cowards.

Bluntly, you all have been happily chirping about "white feminism" for a while now.
Well, as a brown woman, I'll tell you this to for free: The greatest predictor of a woman's capacity for collaborating with patriarchy is not her race.
It's her sexual orientation.
Boo me all you like, it's true.

Remember two years ago when Patreon did a blanket ban of all ageplay related content and those creators raised the alarm then only to get soundly ignored because of people’s personal “ick” around the kink?
The truth is, way too many journalists & content creators sat there and said nothing when SESTA-FOSTA passed, when OSA passed, when OF nearly lost porn due to paypros, even during this summer’s Collective Shout situation. A slow apocalypse for the free and open internet has been unfolding for years

I don't believe for a moment that this debanking effort is because of Ana's sex work rather than her reporting, but also even if that was the reason it shouldn't be allowed.
None of the content Ana has ever made is illegal. There is no justification to cut her off from the banking system.

Spoke to a second source familiar with what’s going on with paypro censorship toward me. It seems I’ve been blacklisted among paypros as a creator, particularly for mommy domme content. This could escalate into debanking, I learned

Ana decided to call out payment processors and their unilateral response was attempting to fuck up her life and that should be bigger news than it is as of now
The full count as of today:
YouTube suspended
Twitch banned 3x
Patreon suspended (temporary)
Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)
Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?)
Buy Me a Coffee suspended
Vice reporting censored
Pornhub censored 3x times
Fansly censored 1x

Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??
