Hi! I'm Oliver Kent, a writer, YouTube maker, and (burgeoning) artist. I like creating content about silly things, and I'm very good at misunderstanding philosophers while confidently making videos about them.

Trying to get back into drawing. Here is an #Nivanfield sketch. I've been playing Final Fantasy Tactics again, so I decided to revisit that style. We'll see if I ink it and color it. It's not exactly what I want it to be, but I still like it! #PiersNivans #ChrisRedfield #ResidentEvil

Chuck Dixon created Bane. I don't bring this up to argue that creating that character somehow negates his current behavior, but to talk about a problem very prevalent in comics. And that is bigoted people making bank off the very marginalized groups they later demonize and discredit.

I have invented a new word: Slutsplaining, verb - When someone tells you how to appreciate a demographic you find attractive and already have deep shameful thoughts about. *Don't slutsplain white-haired anime men to me! I don't need backstory to want to do terrible things to that man.*

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.
I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history
pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast
about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed
psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The
"known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis
White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale
Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television
and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing
wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked
whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether
his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but
he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from
his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this
interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think
that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself."

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from
the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into
ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten
a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further.
It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity
agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that,
but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person
who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the
statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had
a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the
U.S.

I’ve updated my racism in cartoon and comics thread with a small dissertation on “ Mickey Mouse and An Education for Thursday” since some of y’all asked me about it. Fair warning, though the racism in this is through the freaking roof and that’s not an understatement.

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Meghan Blanco, an attorney who represented Mojica, said it was significant that jurors did not believe the statements of such a senior official.

“These jurors had the opportunity to listen firsthand to the CBP officer overseeing enforcement nationally and could not have found his testimony to be credible,” said Blanco, a former federal prosecutor. “It is a bad sign for the federal government. They are doing everything they can to try to legitimize their prosecutions, and thank God the jury and the public are seeing right through it.”

The new #ResidentEvil director has said his movie won't be 'obedient to the lore,' but will essentially have the vibe of playing a RE game. I'm honestly not a purist, but this is like the 12th time a RE movie hasn't been 'lore accurate.' Can we try a lore accurate film just this once?
