15:53 <•ARD> TyGently: having the rookie count in japanese instead of english, good idea or great idea
16:14 <•TyGently> why
16:16 <tawny> does she even *know* japanese
16:21 <•ARD> She reads manga
16:21 <•ARD> TyGently: because the rookie is Missus Worldwide
16:22 <•GW> if you make your OC a weeb everyone will mock you
16:23 <•ARD> You fool I already made her a gay weeb and it got 8 upvoted
16:25 <•ARD> Although I suppose in terms of site reception the bisexual part outweighs the weeb part
16:27 <tawny> lots of people watch anime without thinking it sounds cool to count in a language nobody around them knows
16:28 <•ARD> Lmao
16:28 <•ARD> I know, I’m just shitposting
16:29 <•GW> what did I tell you about shitposting
16:29 <•ARD> GW it is a part of my creative process
16:30 <•ARD> I need to get the omakes out of my head to unclog my chakras
16:44 <•ARD> TyGently: brainstorming time
16:44 <•ARD> What is Diya’s fursona
16:44 <•ARD> This is a wholly serious question — she built catgirls during the escape velocity flashbacks but that was more Natasha’s thing anyways
16:45 <•ARD> But what about Diya
16:45 <•GW> a tank
16:45 <•ARD> Lmao
16:45 <•GW> as we have previously established, appliance furries exist due to the cultural damage of the brave little toaster
16:46 <•ARD> Well yes but Diya is a furry traditional hardliner
16:46 <•ARD> I guess her fursona is a bear
16:46 <•ARD> Yeah there’s really no getting around that
16:47 <•ARD> Damn
16:47 <•ARD> What the hell do bear girls look like
16:49 <tawny> ARD, https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p552x414/19247870_10155574127171520_5400327272924039175_n.jpg?_nc_cat=1&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=a7c4ad5e79aedb968e463fedf9bcdc9e&oe=5D50F2C6
16:50 <•ARD> LOOOOOOOOOOOL
16:50 <•ARD> Ok so what the hell do bear grylls look like
16:51 <tawny> go ask e621
16:53 <•TyGently> give me a moment
16:54 <•TyGently> there are 143 images with the "communism" tag
16:59 <•ARD> TyGently: pick the most orgiastic one because under communism everyone is fucked
17:00 ← •ARD (he@rt.of.dankness) was kicked by •GW
17:17 → •ARD (promoted to admin, opped) and ch00bakka joined  ↔ Crashington nipped out
18:38 <•ARD> TyGently: so what the hell do Rule 34 bear girls look like
18:41 <ch00bakka> ahoy
18:41 <ch00bakka> hey
18:41 <ch00bakka> what the fuck
18:42 <•ARD> ch00bakka: diya’s fursona is a bear
18:42 <ch00bakka> oh
18:42 <•ARD> Now I need to figure out what the hell Bear girls look like so that I can have the rookie carve her way through a small army of them
18:42 <ch00bakka> is it because she's a tankie
18:42 <•ARD> Yes
18:42 <ch00bakka> good
18:42 <•ARD> I’m wondering if that’s too on the nose tbh
18:43 <•ARD> But I also don’t want to look up sexy bear girls because I’m terrified of what I might find
18:43 <•ARD> Ty is an unrepentant furry so I’m asking them
18:44 <ch00bakka> hey ard
18:45 <ch00bakka> do it you fucking coward
18:45 <•ARD> Hey ch00bakka no way
18:45 <•ARD> I’m a weeb not a furry
18:47 <•GW> you say that like it's somehow better
18:47 → tawny- joined (t@wny.yellow.in.the.troubled.waters)
18:48 <•GW> "I don't like cartoon animals, I just creepily fetishize a foreign culture!"
18:48 <•ARD> Better to fetishize human culture than animals
18:49 <•GW> you're like those california dipshits who parade around in native dress and don't understand why that's problematic
18:49 ⇐ tawny quit (t@wny.yellow.in.the.troubled.waters) Ping timeout: 185 seconds
18:49 <•GW> except worse, because indigenous peoples didn't also commit some of the worst war crimes in history and have an entire culture built around denying that
18:50 <•GW> japan is literally the second worst fucking culture to fetishize
18:50 <•GW> only outdone by Germany circa 1939
18:50 <•ARD> They make some pretty good cartoons though
18:50 <•GW> they really don't
18:50 <•ARD> They truly do! The three great schools of visual literature are American, French, and Japanese
18:51 ← •ARD (he@rt.of.dankness) was kicked by •GW: banned for the phrase "visual literature"

18:51 •GW un-banned ARD!*@* (-b)
18:51 → •ARD (promoted to admin, opped) joined
18:52 <tawny-> I feel I should point out it doesn't magically make someone an awful person or their art awful art because the place they live did a bunch of war crimes three generations ago
18:52 tawny- → tawny
18:52 <•ARD> Television is the medium of the proletariat
18:52 <•GW> ARD: that is literally the opposite of the truth
18:52 <•GW> there is a high capital cost for broadcasting that results in it being controlled by a handful of megalithic media conglomerates
18:52 <•ARD> Truth can be whatever I want it to be
18:53 <•GW> television is the propaganda arm of the capitalist class
18:53 ← •ARD (he@rt.of.dankness) was kicked by •GW: get the fuck out
18:53 → •ARD (promoted to admin, opped) joined
18:53 <tawny> I don't like it when mommy and daddy fight :(
18:53 <•GW> ard should stop being a capitalist bootlicker then
18:54 — •ARD browses through his folder of conservative politician comparisons
18:55 — •ARD scrutinizes the tab labeled “British 80s” and “Unflattering”
18:55 <•GW> ARD: stop it
18:55 <•GW> seriously, real talk for a moment
18:55 <•GW> cut this shit out
18:55 <•GW> I am fuckign sick of it
18:55 <•GW> your constant low-key needling is not acceptable
18:56 <•GW> I will genuinely, /actually ban you/, for real, if you continue this shit
18:56 <•GW> no more "under communism everyone gets fucked" snips, nothing
18:56 <•GW> stop it
18:56 <•GW> I am fucking sick of it
18:56 <•GW> this isn't me doing a bit, this is me /genuinely pissed off at you/
18:56 <•GW> I don't care if you're shitposting or doing it ironically or whatever the fuck your excuse is
18:56 <•GW> it is tiresome
18:57 <•GW> I do not want to see it
18:57 <•ARD> You don’t ever do bits anyways
19:00 <•TyGently> you just don't see any bits
19:02 <•ARD> What else do you want me to do? If you’re going to keep calling me a dunce and a dolt, accusing me of giving japan a pass for their war crimes, and threatening to report me to the FBI then what else should I do besides roll with the punches? If you’re going to treat me like a clown I might as well clown around.
