Haii I'm Echo! I'm a wannabe game developer.
Trying to follow as many of my friends (and just generally cool people/fluffs as possible)
I try to only post about tech/software/game development/general computer stuff on here. I might also get political though, due to the longer post size.

If anyone wants my opinion (nobody does, but i'll share it anyways): Yes, if you create a species and spend tons of time making concept art and lore and stuff for it, you should at least have some control over it, and be able to make money off of it - art is a lot of people's jobs, after all.

@jackemled Unfortunately, that did fall under DEI. However, I also realized that I did some bad research (I hastily made this post - Scouting holds a place in my heart as what was once one of my greatest choices) - while you won't exactly be kicked out, since DEI is no longer a part of Scouts, trans and gay scouts are being targeted - and might get kicked out in the future (come on, it's Hegseth, he already banned trans people from being in the military.)

They're trying to bring back the Hitler Youth from Nazi Germany, and the Scouts, who have historically been on the right side of history, have just made the worst choice they could have possibly made.

There is no more honor in being a scout.

There is no more honor in being a Scout.

As of a few days ago, following pressure by the Department of Defense, the Scouts of America caved - and followed delusional "news" anchor Pete Hegseth's demands. The following will now get you kicked out of Scouts:
Being trans
Being a girl
Being gay
Being non-binary, even if at birth.
Which, by the way, means that I will get kicked out of Scouts if certain things are discovered about me.
But that's fine.
Because there is no more honor in being a Scout.
A scout is friendly. A scout accepts people no matter what they are.
Trans, female, gay, non-binary, whatever they are.
A scout is kind. A scout treats people with respect no matter what they are.
But these recent changes completely undermine the values of scouting.
Another one of Delusional Hegseth's demands are that they must remove the Citizenship in Society merit badge, a badge about inclusion and diversity. It will be replaced with a Military Service merit badge.
It is no longer the Scouts.

problem. Not ours.
Alright. Let me give my two-cents on age verification.
Completely unnecessary.
Look, I'm all for keeping minors out of adult content, alright? But it's getting out of hand now. Parental controls have worked for the longest time, and it just feels like everyone's trying to hop on the bandwagon of the UK's OSA. It's just a way to collect information about people.
Your ID isn't getting verified. We've already found that out with how easy it is to bypass. Your information is being sold. Persona was collecting it, probably to sell.
Now, the Colorado government is trying to pass OS-level age verification, which is just... Beyond dystopian. This is just downright draconic. Either these lawmakers have no idea what they're doing, or know exactly what they're doing.
And it's not going to stop, either.
They're going to keep pushing these data collection bills, and companies are pushing it globally - nobody will be safe, no matter where in the world you are.
Parental controls worked. Protecting the child is the parent's

Finally updated my NeoCities for once, just some small changes though.
