That awkward moment when people attempt to use science to invalidate the lived experiences of people with vaginas.
“[The game] will star a female assassin named Aveline, who is of mixed French/African heritage. It will be released alongside Assassin’s Creed III this fall, the story will take place in New Orleans (yes!) during the same time period as Assassin’s Creed III, it’ll have multiplayer, and won’t feature Desmond.
Aveline will meet Connor from Assassin’s Creed III, and her mentor will be an escaped slave, which combined with the location and time period could mean that “Liberation” probably refers to the liberation of American slaves.
The back-touch screen will let you pick pockets, and all of New Orleans will be explorable without any loading screens. It will also take players into Mexico. Oh, and it will feature alligators! ”
Sounds Like Assassin’s Creed Will Debut a New, Female Assassin’s Adventure On The Vita This Fall [ Kotaku ]
holy shit guys, look, look at her outfit, she isn’t even sexualized at all. I can’t believe it, and she’s a main character. A GIRL MAIN CHARACTER IN AN ACTION GAME THAT ISN’T THERE TO BE EYE CANDY.
I’m… I’m so proud. It’s catching on!!
This sounds AMAZING. How on earth is this not part of the main story? This is amazing and I genuinely hope our strapping young hero crosses her path in the main game.
!!!
LOOK HOW PRACTICAL HER OUTFIT IS

Hello. As most of you avid FF readers may have figured out by now, fanfiction.net has been doing a mass purge of the site and getting rid of a lot of stories that break the rules. When one of my own stories was deleted and my account was suspended for three days, I figured it was just the site moderators going through and doing some kind of routine check. However, when I found out that more and more people were having their work deleted - in some cases, just because the summary was “inappropriate” - something told me I had to look into this. The facts about what’s really going on may surprise you.
The people in charge of this mass deletion of stories are not site moderators. They are normal users of the site like anyone else. If you go to their profiles, you’ll see that they even have work of their own. They call themselves Critics United and they basically have nothing better to do except sit around and comb through the site for any story that has some kind of minor infraction. They then post it on their forum (most seem to be on either this thread or this thread, also here) so that other members of the group can go en masse to the story and not only report it for violating the guidelines, but also bully the author via review.
It’s one thing to quietly report a story that you think has broken the rules without saying a word to the author about it. However, what these people are doing is bullying. Earlier today I screenshotted some of the reviews that they’ve been leaving on the stories they go after, and some of what they say is truly sickening.
These are only a few examples. If you browse through their forum you’ll be able to see just how intense they get. As you can see from the reviews I posted above, these people aren’t just “critics” - they are bullies. The “constructive criticism” they supposedly dole out is anything but - something tells me that true constructive critics would not use words like “shitfic” or “toxic crap.” And by posting the links to these stories in their forums, it enables everyone else in the group to go and bully these authors as well.
(Funny thing is, they complain when the authors respond to them with less-than-pleasant words. I wonder why.)
Anyway, I think something needs to be done. Critics United prides itself on being strict followers of the rules and site guidelines; however, they fail to notice that they themselves are also breaking an important rule - no bullying or harassment. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s an easy solution to this problem, seeing as there’s no way to report specific users - only block them. However, I dothink it is important for everyone to know exactly what is going on. I know a lot of people were upset by what’s been happening, and they deserve to know the truth.
If you have any questions please feel free to message me on here or on my fanfiction.net account. That’s all.They’re legitimately reporting stuff for being in second person? Let me guess: it breaks the rule that says you can’t involve the reader in the story. Except that’s not actually the purpose of second person.
This is ridiculous.
This is horrible - what this group is doing isn’t constructive criticism, it’s organized censorship and bullying. Jesus.
I don’t know what can be done about this, but something should be.
For all ff.net’s faults, it’s a good place to start out as a writer, and people learning to find their voice shouldn’t be subjected to this. Hell, no one should.
Reblogging again because I am incensed.
| Spain: | Really good with kids. Loves to make them laugh and can do so easily. He never has any difficulty with them and take pride with making them happy. |
| Romano: | His skill with kids comes from what rubbed off Antonio onto him. He love kids, he finds them adorable just like his boss did. He's always willing to help a child if they're suddenly crying or upset when he's walking the streets. He knows what it was like to be a fussy child, so that makes him patient. He'll do anything to make them smile. |
| Italy: | Loves children.. But when it comes down to it he has difficulty controlling and handling them. He still manages though and likes to visit orphanages to cheer up children and help them get adopted. |
| Germany: | Despite how strict he seems, when it comes to kids he's gentle and kind. He can make any crying child on the street instantly happy if he brings one of his dogs or if he picks them up and puts them on his shoulder. He actually got his working with kid skills from his brother. |
| Prussia: | If he could be a father, he'd honestly be a great one. He'll do anything at anytime to comfort a child. Like when Ludwig was little he'd hold him for hours and tell him stories to cheer him up. It makes him happy to do so. He finds all children precious and never wants to see them upset so he'll do anything to make their crying turn into laughter. |

You SHOULD know this, because it is INCREDIBLY important and something that wasn’t acknowledged until very, VERY recently.
(I did a history project on this in Y9. We got to do something from the 20th century; everyone else did, like, Marilyn Monroe, and I read a translation of Moi, Pierre Seel, déporté homosexuel and then did my project on that. Cheerful, no, but important to know about, yes.)
whaaaaat, seriously?!
In 1950, East Germany abolished Nazi amendments to Paragraph 175, whereas West Germany kept them and even had them confirmed by its Constitutional Court.
Well, that’s horrifying.
Oh my god
Homosexual concentration camp prisoners were not acknowledged as victims of Nazi persecution.[7] Reparations and state pensions available to other groups were refused to gay men, who were still classified as criminals — the Nazi anti-gay law was not repealed until 1994, although both East and West Germany liberalized their criminallaws against adult homosexuality in the late 1960s.
“Gay Holocaust” survivors could be re-imprisoned for “repeat offences”, and were kept on the modern lists of “sex offenders”. Under the Allied Military Government of Germany, some homosexuals were forced to serve out their terms of imprisonment, regardless of the time spent in concentration camps. (X)
Also worth mentioning that homosexuals are still largely unacknowledged as victims of the Holocaust even within circles where they should know better. For example, in the Holocaust Museum in DC and Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, gay deaths are acknowledged only in passing and there is not a single picture of a “man of the pink triangle” - only of an empty ballroom that had once held a gay dance club. When Yad Vashem was completely redone in 2005, gay groups pressed for inclusion alongside other non-Jewish groups such as the disabled, Roma, etc., and numerous senior-level officials and the Rabbinate condemned such requests for inclusion, with some going so far as to suggest that the homosexuals were German criminals and therefore did not belong in the same category as the Jews who had done nothing wrong. When the memorial to gays in the Holocaust was unveiled in Berlin four years ago, senior members of Yad Vashem condemned it and, in particular, its proximity to the memorial for Jewish victims of the Shoah.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly5qfpM4lo1qkvbwso1_500.png)
