Yeah, someone suggested to me that bigotry should no longer be considered a big deal in order to get more Trump-friendly voters voting Democratic.

I thought it would it take months. It took minutes.
I am curious
Toriyama is a master at panelling and framing action. The manga is simply a joy to read.

count me in.
Good luck with that. I'm sure the next Sarkeesian video will go swimmingly.
Wait what?

Here's hypthetical short haired cammy, its sketch, but theoutfit is based on her old vacation alt from 4. I'm also doing Chun and sakura, as you can see on folder stuff but I have yet to decide what i'm doing to do with chun li's arms and sakura's. I'm gonna just walk away from it for a bit come back and i'll be strait. Taking breaks from art helps, particularly with me figuring out how I want people to pose. Coloring is easy. Or rather, I know whats going on when I get to the color part.
Looking good!
How does Paint Tool SAI compare to Manga Studio, if you've used it?
Also, this may be a weird question, but what zoom level do you use when drawing digitally? I always feel 25% zoom is too far away, 50% is too close to get a sense of the whole picture, and anything in-between makes lines look faint. Of course, it's probably just me being weird lol so feel free to ignore this question...

If you guys or anybody else would like to PM me with threads or posts where this stuff is taking place, I'd appreciate it.
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that before.

Toriyama's art style is still the best there is in manga
Send one this way whenever you can.
I was presently surprised. I kind of want a series with the characters

I'd say incredible but that's par for the course.

Sooo many people I've been cool with for years "all of a sudden" spewing this false equivalence bullshit on me for how they justified voting for Drumpf. All women

I don't know how y'all go in these threads and argue with these folks.
Remember Frederick Douglass:
‘Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.’
Fight.

I average around 2.50 posts a day and I erase at least triple that amount before hitting submit every day. I would've copped some serious bans through the years if I let even a few of those erased posts reach the thread.
I went to the OT for the first time in in 2 days just now. Was going to close it out until I saw "Gambit" in a title.

I don't see how people are denying that votiing for someone whose entire platform was having racist, sexist views would make you supportive of bigotry and shit. But yet let a black kid be friends with a gang member and all of a sudden he is part of the gang.

I've been saying i need to disconnect and do more gaming. 3ds da goat because i can't hear you yell n*ggerj*wf*g.
Turn on msnbc and see protests. I'm so heated I'm pulling my whataboutism: what about your vote yesterday.
I'm convinced this dude didn't win but we took the wrong day off. Obama got 69.5 million votes in 2008, 65 million in 2012. Not my president got 1 million less than Romney and Hillary got 5 million less than 2012. A lot of people did not show up. People that were okay with Obama 4 years ago. When he was close to unpopular.
I recognize I'm off kilter...
Double standard.

I am excited that i get to upgrade from my gtx 750 to a 1050 ti next week. I smartly made sure my shipment wouldn't arrive until after midterms were over.
Gonna send a pm about that.
Depends on the thing and the level of detail. Kind of a broad question
As for sai or manga studio, I have no idea. I use a combination of sai and photoshop.
Oh fuck
Me neither.
Just going to try a small palette cleanser and absorb the petty squabbles of people who care wayy too much about console brand loyalty.
Plus...I had no idea what the release dates were for Skyrim Remastered, Dishonored 2, Battlefield 1, Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, PS4 Pro, and Titanfall 2 and many of them snuck past me.
I have a huge backlog to clear through.
I apologise for the length.

Not the same for everyone else, but. It started with this guy, for me, this was my I'm hitting the edge point:
This was in the thread about how Trump believes Minnesota is suffering because of its Somalian refugees. I don't think I need to say this is relatively inaccurate. Adoon is also incorrect.
Then Election Day/results happened, and Hell, I'll even keep this to users who aren't banned yet. (The above isn't, for instance). The combination of dismissiveness from some posters to the fact that a Trump presidency is problematic. This rhetoric of, "Not all Trump voters are -ists/-phobes!" is laughable, since regardless of whether they align with those overtly, they voted for it to become a more widespread issue at the end of the day. Their vote sided with that hate, and if they can't overlook their right leaning views to recognize that freedoms and rights for minorities are going to be affected, then they may as well be all of that, and probably are. Enabling is just as bad. I understand being behind someone exercising their right to vote, and for who they want to vote for, but ignoring all that? Ridiculous. The idea that we need to empathize with their aligning themselves with Trump? Ridiculous. Here's a load of that:
Because US Health Care wasn't already absolute trash? Least Obama didn't actively decide he wanted to disenfranchise several groups. Like??? Casually ignoring that it's Republican barriers that made Obama Care be what it is, rather than what he envisioned. Y'know. Yeah, let's blame Obama. What a terrible dude. Trump is great, he'll take away all of that and put in something better even though he only cares about people like him. Y'know. Rich, white males.
This is just the first 4 pages (I'm sure I even missed some, I quickly went through these).
Then there's this one:
There's the blame game, and my head hurts too much to go through another Trump thread to isolate users who put the blame on Clinton and Clinton supporters rather than the poor choices of citizens who did vote for a candidate who's anti the very thing America touts the most. The American Dream. Anyone can get it. Just pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Deadass over all of their shit. I'm not even American, I just feel for everyone in here, every minority/POC on GAF who's going to suffer, whether because of Trump or because of the groups he incited with his hateful words who think it's okay to walk with confederate flags and make "back of the bus" statements. ¯\_(ツ_/¯
It just feels like they refuse to acknowledge how bad a choice he is for people like us, and they're always the loudest of the bunch. No one ever ignores them. They get quoted for several pages, and you're forced to consume these ideas if you bother going into election related threads. Why touch OT if it's just going to make me feel some type of way, y'know? There's probably nothing that can be done there. They're free to their opinion, until they become hateful themselves (which has already happened, I've seen a lot of grey names, as a result, and I avoided quoting them). Feels like our only option is to avoid that entire board until the talk dies down, rather than argue with them and get banned ourselves, since the conversations aren't constructive and no side is going to back down. So, we're confined to this nice, little box right here, and gaming side. We can't suck it up, lives are already being affected. Miss me with that.

1 time is too many. Here for you if you need it.
One good thing came out of it, actually. Mentioned it to Gordon in thread earlier, but it was bumped not too long after with this:
Was happy with that. Rest of it? Either really good, or a mess of people acting as if they understand Somali-Somali relations, how we handle criticism, what's in the Qur'an, all the usual stuff. Thread did nothing but upset me. I don't even suggest it.
Oh no, I'm okay. It's just a thing that happens? Like a hooked razor slips and my clothes get soaked with my blood. Or a head wound happens and my shirt gets soaks in my own blood. Or a weed wacker cuts off a few layers of skin and you have trouble clotting. Or an ingrown thigh hair explodes and you bleed all over. You know. Everyday type stuff.
I'm slightly misfortunate.
With how people been talking since the result came out, can't blame a girl for jumping to that. Glad to see you're okay, though. Careful there. 👀👀👀
