      A hater tried to cancel you because Bulbasaur is “problematic,” but I’ll uncancel you because Bulbasaur is very cute and should be cherished

          You can’t know them, when the council of awakeness performs the ritual of cancellation, the person is erased from existance, which includes everyone’s memories, as if they never existed. Even the number of people who underwent this treatment is unknown, but we estimate trillions.

          Several conspiracy lunatics got deplatformed. Trump literally got canceled off twitter, until his buddy Musk bought it back.
          After #meToo and before his sentencing, I’m pretty sure Harvey Weinstein didn’t do much movie producing either.

          Influencers/personalities who don’t get into illegal or seditious speech don’t usually get deplatformed, so they have the option to stick around through heinous acts and subsequent harassment (e.g. the Paul brothers).

          However canceling DOES work against people with, like, any semblance of humanity who can’t wall off a continuous barrage of rape and death threats. Lindsay Ellis straight up closed up shop following a harassment campaign over some really stupid shit I can’t even remember (she’s back on Nebula now, but she’s still off YouTube).

            you can’t say someone like trump got cancelled when he is like fighting for presidency of the largest military cult to ever exist or whatever he’s up to these days.

            If you want to establish cancel culture as a thing you have to

            1. show that people can be barred from publicity and financial success

            and

            1. show that it is different from what happened in the past with reactions to scandals.

              No true Scotsman, eh?

              Johny Depp? Dude lost work. It impacted him. He was cancelled.

              Kevin spacey is another one. Louis CK. These are people who had work impacted because of alleged behaviors and actions they took.

              Not gonna get more nuanced with you about it. It’s a real thing. You’ve been given plenty of examples.

                Weird, what you seem to call “cancel culture”, I would call “consequences for actions”

                They are all rich and famous, Louis ck is a self confessed sexual harasser.

                All of them are still around, rich, and have a platform. Nothing that happened to them is different from past scandals.

                Shit Jonny Dep is definitely a shitty abusive person and somehow everyone thinks he’s a pure victim because his propaganda campaign was so effective.

              1. I just did. Lindsay Ellis got her carreer fucked by it.
              2. Why? Just because the word changes doesn’t mean the principle isn’t still the same. And just because reactionaries like to call any mild backlash “cancelling” doesn’t mean it isn’t a thing.

      “Unfortuante” doesn’t begin to describe my series, this game rewards blind luck and nothing else, I am beyond convinced at this point. After getting completely tooled by scheduling with my opponent changing times on me last minute and refusing to provide confirmation prior to the day of the match as to play times, losing this way somehow felt even worse than I had thought possible. My preparation was superior, my play was superior, and I lost, so I don’t see a reason to continue engaging in an activity where what is within my control is overwhelmingly outweighed by what is not.

      I am done with competitive Pokemon, and you won’t get a fond farewell. This community is infected to its roots with a degenerative disease that grows stronger over time but stops short of killing its host. Tournaments used to have a competitive spirit at their heart, this has been transplanted and replaced with an artificial organ that feeds on vitriol and mockery from insecure little boys that heckle by the sidelines and tear each other to shreds over scraps of attention. The environment we fostered has trapped us all like this in a vicious cycle, and escaping it requires acceptance of the harshest reality we all scramble to explain away, that none of the countless straining efforts we put ourselves through here will ever amount to one single shining glimmer of significance. I would make this the end, but World Cup is still ongoing, and I would never leave so many great friends out to dry, so I’ll suffer through a few more games for them.

      One last thing before I leave you all to react with disdain, ridicule, and self-righteous fervor, before you do everything in your power to minimize my words and thoughts, box them up and shove them to some cobwebbed corner of your memory, and hope they disappear forever as a stain on your finite time ground to dust. From this moment on, nothing you say matters to me. The foulest insults you hurl with intent to wound will calmly settle at the earth before my feet, and the venom you spit will bring all the pain of a warm summer breeze. You are less than anything you can conceive, while I carry on, brimming with joy distilled from detachment.

      Umbreon > Vaporeon

      Hey, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is actually not the most compatible Pokémon for humans? This is a common and understandable misconception, however Vaporeon has it’s human on Pokémon breedability outclassed by it’s cousin evolution, Umbreon. Umbreon weights approximately 60 pounds, or around 27 kilograms, and is 3’3" tall (About a meter), making it not only large enough to appropriately handle human genitalia, but also light enough to easily be lifted, and promptly set back down repeatedly. It’s relatively small size would also prove a tight entry, which is always a good thing. Umbreon also boasts an extremely impressive defensive stat spread. With it’s combination of very high HP, Defense, and Special Defense stats, it can take a great pounding and come back for more! It’s ability, Inner Focus, allows it to keep slamming attentively, without getting fatigued. Umbreon also has access to the ability Synchronize, which allows it to share it’s current status with you, meaning you will receive all of the pleasure it feels COMBINED with all the pleasure you’re getting from pounding this perfect breedable Pokémon. Umbreon also has the capability of seeing perfectly in pitch-black darkness, allowing it to effectively attend a midnight fornication session. Even if you do manage to drain Umbreon’s energy with all the furious thrusts, it can recover very quickly with its access to the move Moonlight. Its black fur is also a giant positive attribute, allowing all the excretions you make to be easily seen all over its body. A great fun fact, Umbreon can excrete toxins in its sweat, which would in turn soak into your member and swell it up, making it even more sizable and sensitive. This would not only enhance the experience for you, but for your Umbreon as well (Which with Synchronize, ends up pleasing you exponentially more). Umbreon’s wide movepool also supports the hypothesis that Umbreon is the best Pokémon to breed with. It can learn Payback, which doubles in power after the Pokémon is hit, meaning Umbreon with throw it back twice as hard as normally if you’re hitting it good. Umbreon can also learn Guard Swap; it could give YOU its insane durability, and go crazy on you all night with your now massive endurance. Speaking of endurance, Umbreon also has access to Endure, making it practically immune to fatigue, it will always have energy left over. Charm is also within Umbreon’s movepool, letting it be extremely seductive towards you, easily getting you in the mood. Umbreon can also use Taunt, in turn making you ONLY able to to attacking moves such as Slam, Pound, etc; none of that foreplay shit, right into the action. It also has access to Sleep Talk, giving it the ability to not only give consent in its sleep, allowing access to any of its ports and any time, but also move in it’s sleep, making it an effective 24/7 fuckmate. Umbreon still has even more great moves that good to have while smashing, such as Quick Attack, allowing swift slams and bounces, which can have even greater power if Umbreon uses Curse beforehand. Curse would also raise Umbreon’s defense, making it able to take powerful thrusting for almost any duration. Looking back, Umbreon’s slightly small size ensures a gorilla grip cavity and easy physical manipulation. Its ungodly bulk allows it to take poundings for hours on end and resume after recovering with moonlight (Which works even better when it’s sunny). It’s access to the abilities Inner Focus and Synchronize allow it to unwaveringly throw it back and add all of its pleasure onto yours, effectively making it twice as amazing as any other Pokémon, or even FOUR TIMES, factoring in the doubled power of payback of course. All of this information in combination with its extremely useful movepool in the world of intercourse makes Umbreon the Pokémon most qualified to breed with humans; able to take dick of any shape, any size, in any position easily for extensive periods of time, while having the ability to return for even more mere seconds later.

      I did a playthrough of crystal last year and was playing it on breaks at work, my team for most of the run included three Alakazams just because I knew it would annoy one of my coworkers.
