The Mormons used it specifically for indoctrinating young men into their own cult for decades. They were BSA's biggest sponsor for fucking ever, since participating was mandatory for Mormon boys. Breaking ties with the Mormons over gay rights was a big fucking deal. It was a cultural nuke at the time when I was in Utah.
Bitch, please. They weren't scared of the Mormons, and they took an even bigger financial hit for breaking up with them. You think they're gonna be scared of you? In this climate, the instant they announce cutting ties with you, fucking Taylor Swift or Mark Ruffalo will swoop in.
I'm an open-source artist. All the tools and software I have ever used to make my art are FLOSS. It's my deeply held personal belief that the ability to create art should be as free as pencil and paper, and I want my work to be living proof of that ideal.
I've used Krita, Gimp, Inkscape, Blender, and other tools exclusively for over a decade. I never could afford Adobe's shit, and I realized pretty quickly that nearly anything Photoshop can do, a bit of savvy and some extra time in Gimp and Krita can do equally well. My only complaint is that they can't support Photoshop's brush file formats. Which is absolutely a dealbreaker for most committed artists I know, because your brushes make or break your workflow and even your entire art style. So switching isn't for everyone, and that's fine.
If it doesn't have flared base, your ass will 'swallow' it. Pretty quickly, in fact. Don't fuck around with this, it's the most embarrassing ER trip you will have.
Because HIPAA be damned, you will end up being mocked online for weeks, and the shame will be yours, even if your name is omitted from the news cycle.
Tell them to step the fuck up and be one. If they want one so bad and haven't seen any yet, dare them to be the one to actually try organizing instead of waiting to be organized.
It's the Unown alphabet from Pokémon. In an effort to get Japanese schoolchildren to learn the Latin alphabet, Game Freak included a new Pokémon in Gen2 (Gold/Silver/Crystal) with 28 different forms in a mysterious part of the Johto map called 'the Ruins of Alph'. To the surprise of their parents, these kids started acing their English classes because they had to figure out how many Unown forms they had left to catch so they could fill their Pokédexes.
I grew up playing as an English-speaker, but I still hunted every last one of those fuckers long enough I can still read Unown. In fact, some trolls on the global battle net will still have teams of Unown that spell out slurs, curses, or memes.
These days? Any writing that doesn't feel sterilized and robotic gives me faith that it was written by a human being. But there are plenty of ways to achieve that without spelling and grammar errors.
I think it's because following some actual principles of art theory is too liberal-coded, so it affirms that the digital equivalent of crayon scribbles by a drunk asshole is superior.
