I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.
"Sixer." Stan began one afternoon while they waited for Jeeves to arrive with the car. "You gotta knock this shit off."
By his side Ford stiffened.
Jaw clenching much the same way Stanley knew he tended to at times. Stanford always had been a bit touchy about being instructed on…well anything really. After all he knew best, so he claimed.
"What is 'this shit'." Ford asked tersely and Stanley rolled his eyes. Playing dumb was not a good look on his nerd of a brother. No one bought it.
"Oh come on. You know what I meant. This whole…weird creepy loner shtick. I know we got that whole divide thingy you talk about. I take care of the peons and you take care of the eggheads. But you're making my side of that job a lot harder here! It wouldn't kill you to lighten up a bit and stop scaring them off."
Although looking at Ford's expression, maybe lightening up would actually kill him. He looked about ready to explode.
But as always his brother took a moment, collected himself and pushed down what would have been an outburst were their roles reversed.
"It just seems like you prefer the company of these strangers. Like if given the choice you'd rather just spend all your time with them instead…"
"Woah, hey Sixer." Stanley put his hands up as if he could physically defend against the implied accusation. "No! No of course not! You and me right? Where we go…?"
"...we go together." Ford finished, feeling that ugly thing in his chest soothe at the familiar oath.
"Damn straight and don't you forget it."
Stanley's smile was unlike the one he offered to their schoolmates. Not as dazzling bright or wide, but soft and warm and purely reserved for Stanford. They could have the showman smile then, so long as Stanley kept that one between the two of them.
The long lost Gravity Falls "Next Time On," reel has FINALLY been found!
This right here is what made this show happen and the reason why every new Disney cartoon also has a next time on reel. GF's last big lost media hunt is over!
Alex Hirsch said that he was okay if this ever was to leak. So, if this goes down, blame Disney!!
genuine question, do you think callout posts are inherently evil? like if someone's doing some weird shit and hiding it i think people would want to be warned about that at least. just try to discourage harassment as much as possible
The existence of a callout posts means that the targeted person will be harassed if enough people see it. There is no amount of "don't harass anyone mentioned in this doc/video" disclaimers that will prevent that. The post is now potentially a permanent record that anyone can cite for years into the future. You are now at the whims of unknown strangers to be banned from communities, kicked out of creative projects, or be blocked by friends, at any time with no warning. I would consider this to be harassment, but to people who don't know about how these things usually go down they would be seen as righteous whistle blowers.
No matter what you actually did, if your awkward interaction with someone was too sexual, or if you stated a shitty opinion about a complex topic, or if you misjudged someone's boundaries, or if you engaged with kink in a way that made someone outside the scene uncomfortable, you are now a predator. I have seen firsthand the game of telephone starting from "this person did/said something sexualized on an online platform where teenagers could have been present," to "acted creepy around teenagers," to "regularly sexually assaulted children," to "pedophile".
Callout posts do not actually stop the person from "doing weird shit". It depends on what you mean by "weird shit", but if you mean "secretly draws/engages with Bad Porn", which is what a lot of callout posts are about, I implore you to recognize that it is truly not your business to know every private action someone takes just because you follow them on social media. This applies to awkward interactions people have in private too. Sometimes it's patterns of abuse, but a lot of the time it's interpersonal drama that is not anyone else's business.
If by "weird shit" you mean that someone has demonstrated ongoing patterns of real emotional/financial/sexual/etc abuse, and it's something that cannot be handled by any other means (either privately or with legal action if relevant), then in those cases a callout post can potentially do more good than harm if it reaches the people that need to know about it.
The level of long-term mental anguish that a target can go through is absolutely no fucking joke. A callout post has the potential to be a gun to someone's head, especially if they're socially/mentally/physically disadvantaged to begin with, which conveniently describes the most likely people to be targeted with high profile callout posts. [This is because: 1.) Our communities are wayy more likely to self-police than the rest of the internet and 2.) there are groups such as kiwifarms that love when a trans girl does something they can suicide bait her with and they also love it when we infight, isolate, and attack each other.]
I don't think callout posts are inherently evil, but they do nothing to make the target not continue their unwanted behavior. The only good function a callout post can serve is to warn potential future victims. If there are no victims, no behavior that will DIRECTLY lead to someone being victimized, no scam being uncovered, no patterns of abuse being shared, then the only victim is the target of the callout post. Everyone else involved is just gawking at gossip and/or contributing to suicidal levels of anxiety to a stranger.
