"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

Boycott The New York Times

For years The New York Times has relentlessly pushed anti-trans propaganda, playing a significant role in the escalating genocide against us. It's far past time for a call to action: anyone who cares ...

Legitimately, it's one of the best RPGs I have ever played. It shoots for the moon, obliterates it, lands on the sun and causes a super nova. An uncompromising commitment to its premise until the bitter end. I'm glad it's doing well enough to breach into other media.

At a first glance, "Nyan Cafè Macchiato" appears to be the quintessential romantic VN with individually dateable waitresses in a typical, gimmicky cafè setting. A dime in a dozen Eroge. That was, indeed, my assumption based on the premise... I have never been more wrong in my entire life! #Poly #VN

What's this? Why, it's certainly not me playing "Mojika: Truth Rears Its Ugly Head" without any prior knowledge of its narrative, themes, contents or art direction. I totally knew what I was getting out of this! I'm not shaken to my core! That's not blood on my genitals! Don't worry about it!!!

As you know, I enjoy writing about weird, unsavoury art (mostly Eroge as of late) but not all that which I experience winds up on a post. It's either because I have nothing interesting to say or I'm grappling with shame, or I cannot literally show anything lest I get banned... The reasons may vary.

It was only a matter of time before I swan-dove into the general periphery of the INFAMOUS yet greatly influential "Rance" franchise by Alicesoft. Specifically, I picked up "Galzoo Island", a spin-off title. A hybrid Dungeon Crawler RPG and Creature Collector. The *creatures*, of course, are girls.

So, Koei/Tecmo released the entire "Blue Reflection" series (four videogames) in one HD collection for 50 bucks on Steam. It's titled "Quartet." What is "Blue Reflection", you may ask? Based on initial impressions, it's Sapphic "Persona." Look at these covers. #BlueReflection

What's this? Definitely not me playing a fan-made "Kemono Friends" visual novel based on an official "Kemono Friends" spin-off manga set before season 1 of the anime but after both the original mobile game by Nexon and "Kemono Friends 3", which is published by SEGA. I don't have a hyper-fixation.

It's time for a small thread. I have unearthed this odd curio from the bowels of Steam - five bucks on a sale, to be exact. It's one of the surprisingly many explicit porn games that still manages to exist on the platform. The hook: it's "Slay the Spire" but with sex. ......Sex the Spire?

The world of humans has gone mad. A hegemonic power rules the hearts and minds of its people. The cries of slaves and the blood of the defeated sustain the machine of oppression. Greed fuels inequality. Cruelty is the tool that maintains it. Amidst this despair... The Demons have risen! #DemonsRoots

I have been debating, fervently and feverishly, whether or not to discuss a certain game. I've been more apprehensive about it than anything else I have covered thus far - and if you KNOW the kind of works I dissertated in the past year, alone, then you should be scared. THIS is the game.

First impressions are important. Meeting you immediate appeal's criteria may affect your willingness to engage with a piece of art, media, anything that consumes your limited time in this world and requires cold hard cash... So, let me tell you about the Outlaw Bakery from the game #MagicalPrincess.

A super nice, decisively unsuspicious bakery lady is offering you a totally legitimate job at a normal hour of the day (night).

I am reading #Tsukihime for the first time in my life. Unlike all my previous write-ups on this website, I will come at you with fully formed, health hazardous opinions once I am done with it. You shan't hear a peep from me until the time comes. In the meantime, have an absurdly hot Ciel CG.

Studio Mebius' #SNOW strikes me, personally, intimately, as a relic of a bygone time. A specific *cutesy* aesthetic belonging to a specific period. A carefully crafted presentation that was, in its day, designed to evoke a feeling of nostalgia only to become itself nostalgic, decades later.
