How to stream your art! And benefit from it.
Has any of you ever thought about streaming their art on Twitch creative? But something keeps you from it.
I certainly recommend trying it! The audience on Twitch Creative is generally very encouraging and supportive.
You can grow your art-skills, get tons of work done, broaden your social circle, broaden your audience and if you like, even earn some money to buy food for your pet.
Here are some great benefits to streaming your work, in terms of skill development.
:bulletblue: 1. It keeps you from getting distracted by external things (Like social media, Youtube, gaming, procrastination etc).
:bulletblue: 2. It expands your social circle
How Much Do You Know About Reparative Therapy?
Highlights:In this fervent culture war battle, lines have been drawn, passionate
words exchanged, and sides chosen. However, very few people actually
know what reparative therapy is, whether in theory or practice.
Let’s begin with the theory, which is not scientifically supported: Gay people are genetically predisposed to be sensitive.
The overly sensitive child perceives rejection by his or her same-sex
parent. In a state of conscious or unconscious rebellion, they strike
back at the parent’s rejection by renouncing their gender. It quickly leads to gender variant intere

This portion of the news covers Under Age Erotica, and Pornographic Content as well as cropping, blurring and barring which falls under the latter.
Deviations seen listed have been reported once before but have not been removed and have been filed as 'invalid' or 'needs more information' despite them being submitted into groups centered around little girls.
*Every single deviation you see here for UnderAge Erotica has been submitted into at least one Loli Group. For those of you who don't know what a loli is:
Lolicon, also romanized as rorikon,[1] is a Japanese portmanteau of the phrase "Lolita complex".[2][3] In Japan, the term describes

New Account(s): Kuekuatsu7 & ArtsLobo
I was sent news about the KueKuatsu7 account because someone found this other journal about him--> Call Against Kuekuatsu7
I want to say first and foremost that attacking is not and never has been something I approve of. The journal made by this other person is definitely an attack journal, but I'm citing it here just for the sake of showing the screenshots of conversations with him. I am not encouraging this behavior by linking it here though.
As for the ArtsLobo account, I've had more than one pe

Peach's Playable-to-Kidnapped Ratio
I've been curious about it for a while now, since she's supposedly the quintessential Damsel In Distress, so I pulled up a list of games starring the Mario characters from the Mario Wiki, then noted which games she's in, and what role she plays.
NES:
Super Mario Bros. - Kidnapped
Super Mario Bros. 2 (Outside Japan) - Playable
Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan) - Kidnapped
Super Mario Bros. 3 - Kidnapped
Yoshi's Cookie - Playable
Tetris - NPC
SNES:
Super Mario World - Kidnapped
Super Mario Kart - Playable
Yoshi's Safari - Appears in a cutscene
Mario & Wario - Playable (sort of)

Wow, The Fine Brothers backlash is even bigger than I thought.
Right now, their subscriber count is this: https://akshatmittal.com/youtube-realtime/#!/thefinebros And it's decreasing by hundreds every few minutes.
I know you're probably sick of hearing this, but if you're still subscribed you need to unsub and stop watching their videos.
They have a corporate business mindset and it's just a big mess.
They removed their videos on React World and Update videos and gave out a half-assed apology that looks like their lawyer wrote it. :/ https://medium.com/@FineBrothersEnt/a-message-from-the-fine-brothers-a18ef9b31777#.wi1276wz3

How to Argue for Immigration Restrictions
So I put it to my Patrons as to what the next video in this series should be, and their idea was Immigration Restrictions, something that is largely favored by both the left and the right. Libertarians are against this because you're restricting the liberty of movement of peaceful people. We see borders as nothing more than imaginary lines, and so stopping someone who represents no threat to anyone else from crossing that line is illogical at best, racist and repugnant at worst.
If you want to convince us, therefore, that we should be restricting immigration, here is what you need to do, as well as what you want to avoid:

The Spring semester has done one thing for me - it's kept me much busier than I have been in a long time. This time has not been without artistic production - in fact I'm taking tow art classes this semester. But I've not had the time or patience to photograph, upload edit and post everything. But I will over the summer. I have no finals to take, so I might actually be less busy during finalss time (go figure). meanwhile, I'll continue to blumber on with my work.
I'm considering starting a second Dev.Art. page for a more professional look. Or maybe get a Premium and change some stuff around, like my username, gallery organization etc. Any th

GamerGate and Culture War Politics
I can't not say anything about this anymore. I've resisted in the past because I've had a lot of emotion invested in it, and I also haven't been able to fully define my feelings on the matter. Now I have, but I'll try to keep things short and to the point.
I don't like being neutral for neutrality's sake. I will stand and defend my beliefs.
Fundamentally, I side with GamerGate, and I feel that the core of the problem is with ""social justice warriors"". Of course, this doesn't tell the whole story.
