Going back to the "Don't abuse your OC" ask from anon, I can honestly say that I cannot agree with that. At all. OC's are used as a form of self expression, to explore aspects of yourself. Yes, you are perfectly okay to abuse your OC. It's a fictional character, so it will not affect it at all. If it makes someone uncomfortable to see that, then they should just avoid users/people who do that, ask them to trigger tag that stuff, something.
OC means "Original character", and that means that that character is yours, you created it, and you can do what you want with it, whether you abuse them for coping, or mess them up, anything like that. You don't need to "hand them over to others who will take better care of it". That ruins the entire purpose of making the OC in the first place. OC's are used for coping, self-expression, self-exploration, and fun. By taking away somebody's right to do those things to their OC, you are taking away their self-expression, taking away a source of joy in their life, possibly taking away one of their most useful ways to cope.
They don't exist. They aren't actually getting hurt, because, ha, there's nothing to be hurt. If you've gotten attached to somebody's OC, and you don't like that they abuse it, block them, ignore them, don't interact with them, and DON'T try and take the character away from them. They are the ones putting in the hard work and effort to create the characters and the relationships and worlds. I mean, I don't see them spending hours or days or weeks trying to fabricate original characters and stories. If you've gotten to be like that about their character, instead of trying to take away all of their hard work, expression, and attachment with the OC, make your own OC. Try and see how it is doing all of that creative stuff before you just take it away from someone and disregard their hard work. But DON'T try and take that away from someone.

🚨🚨CONGRESS SECRETLY TRYING TO SNEAK IN EARN IT ACT COPYCAT INTO MUST PASS SPENDING BILL (PLEASE READ EXTREMELY IMPORTANT)
July 20, 2023
Congress is right now determining what is included in a must pass spending bill the NDAA. Often congress will sneakily add as amendments their bills that they can't pass in a normal setting.
If you remember, I made a previous post about EARN IT being reintroduced here.
The EARN IT Act and it's copycats are bipartisan bills that will greatly censor if not completely eliminate encryption and anything sexual and LGBTQ+ from the internet, globally. Anything the far-right doesn't like will be completely gone.
The best way to stop them is to use https://www.badinternetbills.com/ to call your senators.
Following it's initial introduction earlier this year was massive opposition from human rights, LGBT, tech, political groups, and grassroots groups. Bc of this, the senators decided to remake the bill but give it a new name, so they can still pass Earn It without actually passing Earn It. Those bills are the Stop CSAM Act (yes really, they actually named it that), and the Cooper-Davis act.
The entire point of these bills is to mass surveil and censor everyone and I don't know why more people or senators speak out against it. There is a direct timeline from when the Attorney General Barr (under Trump) said he wanted to do this to it's initial introduction in 2019, and how the senators explicitly knew they couldn't actually say that so they lied and said it was about "stopping CSAM" or "stopping drugs" for Cooper-Davis Act.
These bills essentially do the following:
they gut encryption, the one thing actually protects you from having your data seen by anyone. Do you want republicans to know you're trans? that someone had an abortion? that they spoke out against the govt? to see your private photos you have uploaded to the cloud? to see what porn you watch? if youre a journalist, or an abuse survivor, any hacker or abuser can see your stuff and track you.
they gut parts of Section 230, the one thing that allows anyone to post online and birthed social media. Previous gutting into 230 gave us the tumblr nsfw ban and killed that site.
they create an unelected commission with some already established govt body (DOJ, FTC, etc) that will include law enforcement and people from NCOSE or other Christian conservative groups who will decide what is and isn't lawful to say. no citizen can vote who's on this commission, and the president gets to pick. it's like the supreme court, but for the internet.
lead to mass censorship and surveillance because of the above
We have until the end of the month to stop this, but this can be added literally any moment until then. It's literally code red. If this is added it goes into effect immediately. The BEST way to stop this is to drive calls and emails to the senate. https://www.badinternetbills.com/ connects you directly to your members of congress & gives you a call script.
It is ESSENTIAL to call the Senate leaders who can stop this. Here's a more precise call script you can use: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1huD5Ldd1lPTECYTEb9Gg2ZzrqW6Y9tryHT-MdjOl8kY/edit
All these people expressed concern over Earn It, so we need to press them hard to not allow it's copycats Cooper-Davis or Stop CSAM into the NDAA. This is URGENT and needs all hands on deck.
Chuck Schumer (D-NY) (202) 224-6542
Maria Cantwell (D-WA) (202) 224-3441
Jon Ossof (D-GA) (202)-224-3521
Alex Padilla (D-CA) (202) 224-3553
Cory Booker (D-NJ) (202) 224-3224
Mike Lee (R-UT) (202) 224-5444
Please please please spread this message and blow up their phones.
TLDR; The Senate is trying to quietly push the Earn It Act's copycat bills into the must pass NDAA, which will lead to mass censorship and surveillance online by gutting Section 230 which is the entire reason you can even be on tumblr and why the internet exists, killing encryption which put everyone's lives in danger, and appointing far-right people to a supreme court-esque commission that the president has direct control over. They could be added in ANY DAY and we need to push hard to stop it before it gets to that point. CALL YOUR SENATORS **NOW** BY USING https://www.badinternetbills.com/ AND CALL THE SENATE LEADERSHIP AND SPREAD THE WORD!!!!
