people will say "did you know the creator of ... has a weird fetish" as if anything other than a weird fetish could possibly compel you to suffer through the creative process

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting around, facing away from each other. Stealthily, Green turns around to look at Blue, who is oblivious to being watched.

Sneakily Green stretches himself out, landing a kiss on the back of Blue's head. Blue is mildly startled. As he turns around to look at Green, Green has already turned back the way he had been, acting oblivious.

Gotta say, the new radio previews for GTA 6 are pretty good. Say whatever you will about Rockstar, but they know how to put together a good soundtrack.

one of the things people don't tell you is that you can un-give up. So while it is better not to give up, even if you do, blam, just un-give up. You don't need permission, it's doesn't matter. you used to try and do something but you gave up? it's not permanent. take a break n try again if you want

Here's the way I think about and approach this.
Speaking from a materialist perspective, I think it's extremely inappropriate for the first instinct so many people have to be talking about redemption and atonement rhetoric for a very literal rapist, especially one with the structural and institutional power that being a cis white male innately gives you, the kind of power that makes a university hit you with a slap on the wrist. (And this isn't just me talking, Geller himself frames his societal criticisms in structural, material terms, so he's cultivated a community that looks at things like this materially, which *is* the correct way to approach it.) Jacob Geller is *not* a victim, he's not a tragic misunderstood man being besieged by an angry mob, he is a primary structural beneficiary of multiple dominant class positions, and automatically receives a shield of people that default to seeing his career - his position as a successful, influential media figure with a hell of a lot of social capital - as something that *they* should protect for him, or that should be *protected* at all. Does this rhetoric actually serve *anyone* other than Jacob? Does a single semester suspension (something that Jacob just admitted was a slap on the wrist) and a decade of silence - while building an extremely influential position in a Left space that he *knew* would rightly approach sexual assault with disgust - count in any way as *accountability*? No. Any kind of next steps after this demand stepping away from structural power and influence, stepping away from wealth-generating platforms, as a *baseline*. *Full blown deception* in service of building influence is not *rehabilitation*. He's not *entitled* to this position. The victim (whose trauma was horrifically dragged out without any kind of consent, care, or consideration, it's absolutely true) needs to be centered above all else. Fearing for an abuser's job before even acknowledging the reality of the person he abused, to me, is a violent inversion of solidarity.Even more fundamentally, I think, there's simply a deep, ongoing structural violence in a cisgender, straight, white male occupying a dominant position as a "progressive voice" while directly benefitting from the exact institutional leniency designed to insulate men like him from the consequences of patriarchal violence. Is it correct to grant a rapist a continued position of ideological and cultural authority? At what cost to others does that come? What are we telling survivors? What are we telling women? What are we telling the marginalized and subjugated? What are we telling *other men*? At what cost does that come? Are a man's video essays more valuable than their physical safety and psychological well-being?

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green approaches Blue, who listens intently.
Green: I haven't been spending enough time with you.

Green sits down opposite of Blue.
Green: How about we take the afternoon to do things together? You choose.

Blue looks visibly excited, and Green leans in towards him.
Blue: Anything?
Green: Anything you like.

Blue rushes off in delight, while Green remains sitting, watching him go with an unreadable expression on his face.
Blue: Let's set up your controller, we're going to play that game you promised to try.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is calmly sitting on his computer when he is startled by noises that sound somewhere between coughing and choking. Alarmed, he rushes to investigate.
Blue: Green? Are you okay?

Blue finds Green on his back on the floor, evidently shaken up but otherwise unharmed.
Green: I somehow swallowed spittle wrong.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting at a table, in front of a game board set up with several character figurines and various pieces of landscape terrain. On the table is also a measuring tape and a scattering of dice.
Green: Okay, that makes six. How many points did we need to dodge that strike?
Blue: Eight.
Green: Oof.

Both of the foxes look at the board pensively.
Blue: I guess that concludes the campaign. Another party wiped out in their first combat encounter.
Green: At this point we're just feeding adventurers to highwaymen.
