Tidy Up Tuesday #73

Many of you will probably enjoy this recent video by Extra Credits about the badass woman who was also the greatest pirate that ever lived: 

When submitting images please, whenever possible, host them on Tumblr directly.  Failing that, please ensure any other hosts (Photobucket is a notable, but not only example)

do not block or throttle direct or indirect linking. 

@prokopetz wrote an interesting post about suspicious dimorphism, regarding completely different sets of teeth on female and male characters of the same species. It’s a bit too anatomy-specific for a BABD reblog, but really worth a read from character design/world building standpoint. (h/t: @kiashi29)

A couple things to catch up to this week:

Thanks to everyone who sent this tumblr thread our way. We agree 100% with the points made there regarding false equivalence, though since it’s a long post reiterating what we have said on the blog before, and starts with a gross publicity stunt by Milo Namara and Frank Cho, we most likely won’t be reblogging it.

We have a new affiliated site in our Related section: FemHype (also on Tumblr) – a feminist gaming blog that is a safe space for women and non-binary readers.

Something we should cover in this post about Female Armor Bingo’s purpose: the square placement, while not completely random, is largely incidental. All Ozzie was aiming for when putting it together is giving highly visible squares to most prevalent tropes and putting related tropes close, but not close enough to guarantee too-easy bingo rows.

Apparently Tekken 7′s designs are so close to how erotica looks that our today’s post about it got flagged as NSFW (h/t: @kyaranflowers)

Just a few things to address this week.

We certainly agree that it is important to interrogate all media for harmful messages such as supporting imperialism.  However, we do not support only taking this approach with media you don’t personally enjoy or expecting everyone to disregard all other aspects.

There is no problem-free content available for consumption, and it’s perfectly possible to enjoy media without supporting the politics of the creators.  The only way to improve the mediascape is to encourage creators to keep the positive techniques and leave behind as many of the problems as possible.

Livestream #6

bikiniarmorbattledamage:

As promised, I’ll be streaming Part 2 of the Hel redesign we started 2 weeks ago. There might be a part 3 in the future.

The stream will begin on Saturday 9 AM PST at twitch.tv/icysketchbook. 

See y’all there~

So I screwed up my shoulder and it’s worse than I was expecting. Because of this, I’m afraid that I’ll be cancelling my half of the steam this week.

I’ll try to make an epic comeback next week.

Livestream #5

This week’s livestream will be moved to Saturday 9 AM PST. It will be another 3-hour stream (that’ll probably be the norm from now on), and I will actually be revisiting a redesign I did a few weeks ago, as I looked at it again and decided I hate it. Hel Part 2: The Resurrection will be next week. 

If this day and time turns out to work better for everyone, I might just keep it, so feel free to comment on this post with feedback.

I’m looking forward to seeing you all there!

Weekly Livestream #4

This week’s steam will be 3 hours long, since I’ve been running over the 2-hour limit every single previous steam. It will probably be just one redesign for the entire duration, as it’s a complicated character and I’ll be looking for ideas from the chat.

So I’ll see y’all on Friday at noon PST at twitch.tv/icysketchbook ~
