Star stable online is so fun because it sucks you in with its girl power cute horse game aesthetic and then you get to the Halloween event and it's like what if you and your girl best friend watched a man's memories of his own decapitation only for him to rise from the dead to jumpscare you and chase you around or if you walked along a trail and heard tales of daughters fallen to unfathomable mythical creatures only to fall prey to them yourself as well or if you witnessed an illusory ritual sacrifice of a horse that summoned a ghostly eldritch being that kept telling you he can see you and that he will be released soon. And also there is a horse that looks like a pumpkin ^^ very cute!!!

Hey isn’t it amazing how in star stable entertainment’s hit mmorpg star stable online, environmental issues are solved by destruction of property and violence against the people enacting policies destroying the environment. That’s so cool. Sounds like they really know how to make things move over there. They’ve really got it figured out. Radicalizes you radicalizes you radicalizes you

so I've been sick for the last week and a half (I'm feeling better today dw) and my project to keep myself from going insane was building moorland stables... in the sims. I spent an unholy amount of time on this in the last week but I fucking love how it turned out.
Ft pictures of it at night, because its goddamn gorgeous

I’m not saying I want SSE to change ms holdsworth. If this is her design now, fine. Whatever. Im furious, but fine.
What I would want is for SSE to have a conversation internally about how they prioritized the streamlining process for background NPC’s no one is going to care about (especially when that was unnecessary because they already have two skinny, tall, old women skeletons to use for those NPC’s) over the already present inclusivity.
Make excuses all you want, a deliberate choice was made. There was a priority, and that priority led to the erasure of a character’s representation, representation that is already overlooked in media.
I could shout about how bad sso feminism is all year, and I know I would get no response because sse fully believe they are the pinnacle of feminism in modern gaming. So instead I really, really need them to prove it to me this time.
In a society that shuns and hates fat women. In a society that see disabled people as obstacles to be avoided. You have fallen into the exact same traps and are upholding the exact same beliefs. So talk about it. Acknowledge that this was a misstep. Apologize and tell us you will try to do better. Prove that you are women positive, and that representation is important to you as a company.
I am reminded of when Ubisoft animation director told Polygon in an interview that animating a female lead for their assassins creed games would be “too much work”, and I promise you the people at SSE were clapping each other on the back, congratulating each other on not being Like That when that news dropped. They cheered each other on for being the peak of inclusivity, for considering everyone and giving every body a place on jorvik. And now we are fed the same excuse, but targeted at minorities that are even further overlooked.
To then sidestep critique entirely and focus on the fact that they made her taller is infuriating. Yes, she should have a slightly hunched back. Not all old ladies are going to have the posture of a Barbie princess. But that’s not the issue and I feel like they know it’s not the issue. It’s more of that PR shit where you acknowledge the criticism, but in such a way that someone who does not know anything about the criticism will not be able to pick up on what they’re getting shit for, thus reducing the damage.
This isn’t a graphics update where you can just shrug and say “those kids, always yelling about the old graphics” this is you making a, frankly malicious, decision as a company because you’ve deemed a group of people too inconvenient. Ms holdsworth IS important enough to be unique. And if she ISNT important enough, who is? Is Linda going to be the only fat NPC left on jorvik once you’re done while everyone else shares the same 3 body types?
Furthering that point, fat background NPC’s can and should exist. Ms holdsworth does not need to be wholly unique. It is disheartening to know that all old people in sso, no matter their importance, are going to share the same 3 skinny bodies. That fucking sucks.

as a fat person, seeing all of the skinny people raging about not feeling represented is giving me a disgusting amount of satisfaction
like, hi. yeah, it sucks to be stuck with a character that doesn’t look or feel like you. it’s BEEN sucking for all of us who were unrepresented by the old character model. the only difference is that instead of it sucking for the better part of a decade, like it did for us, it’s only gonna suck for a few months until they get the next round of body types into the game.
the only people i want to hear about diversity and inclusion about are the poc and queer people who STILL have no representation in this game.

the million dollar question
I’m almost done with everything in-game. I’ve done all collectibles. Found every Token, Donkey and whatever more there is. Soul steed? Got it. Farah’s owl? Got it. I have four achievements left (championship win and fishing) and I have horses left to level up.. what the heck do I do when I’m done?

If I had a nickel for every time a character named Conrad had their name misspelled in SSO I’d have two nickles. Which isn’t a lot but it’s wierd that it happened twice
