💜 Snowy the Anime Waifu :3 💜

Did y'all miss me? If so, aim better :3 If you need help, here are the times you can find me for target practice lol

@R0iTempest Maybe they ARE trying for the better. I really do hope they make choices like this in the future. I don't want to see this game die.

Bro they actually dropped some heat this year.. TIMI y’all are invited to the BBQ.. now just work on moderation with these griefers and I’ll be happy

@qweblobeblo @emothann That's largely irrelevant to the main point of discussion. It's still a luxury hobby. It doesn't stop being one because it's cheaper than others.

@SnowyBug09 @emothann Forsure, I couldn't afford it, it's a luxury to get to do cool stuff like that at all. But a 'luxury hobby' is like, sailing or owning horses lol

If you are trying for an invite you'll be filling your BFL. This is a luxury hobby and money will be required to do this, but isn't a barrier to those able to try which is what the poll was about. People may not be able to try due to money, that's a different conversation.

@mx_lazuli @Sabooky I started with a PNG I drew myself and then got lucky and found a few free-to-use models, one of which was a customizable that lasted me for so long. Really good cheap and free options exist and all have their own unique identity. Some folks forget that.

@Sabooky Thank you! I literally made my own model with Vroid studio! Is it the best? Nope. Is it rigged super well? Nope. Did it cost me anything other than my own time and dedication? Also nope!

YOU DON’T NEED AN EXPENSIVE ASS MODEL TO BE A VTUBER! VROID EXISTS PREMADES EXIST PNG TUBERS EXIST CUSTOM MODELS EXIST Stop saying you need! It’s a luxury to have a expensive ass model. Having a pricey ass vtuber model ain't going to make you famous. Get streaming.

@qweblobeblo @emothann It's definitely a luxury, and it's not just travel. It's lodging accommodations, time off from work, food, and registration fees. If you need to make arrangements for pets or kids, that's another hurdle, especially if you live alone.

@emothann It's not luxury at all, it's very cheap relative to other hobbies. There aren't even expensive playables like other tcg's. It's the travel that's expensive (especially now), but travel is an unavoidable part of any competitive hobby or sport

@SheepEtiquette @mxm08_ @JoshIsFAB @duskullbf But no, instead you came in with "just call it that lmfao". So yes, I asked if it was beyond your comprehension, and based on this thread, Q.E.D. Take care of yourself. I won't be responding.

@SheepEtiquette @mxm08_ @JoshIsFAB @duskullbf Seriously, y'all came flying in acting like "How am I supposed to know it doesn't mean the whole state?" Because a bit of reasoning would've told you that, after finding out what DMV stands for, knowing that DC houses the capital city, it must be just the area around the city.

I like these players but what do they got to do with the department of motor vehicles

As someone who tries to be positive, and share positivity as much as I can, it’s incredible that people can be so cruel. I was half a second away from asking, “Why is everyone so mean?” And then I realized I’m talking about people here on X, the everything app.

@Yonepatchi Some people don't like to be reminded that they have the ability to attend MULTIPLE events at no great detriment to them. Hit dog will holler and all that, you know?

Honestly this is what I get for asking a genuine question instead of saying Pokemon Piss Poo Diaper slop, sorry

I have a limited amount of days off of work because of my job, so I only went to regionals I didn't have to take PTO. True of many American players. Time is also money. I used my PTO to take care of my sick mom and get married, but shame on me I guess for not having more PTO?

@SheepEtiquette @mxm08_ @JoshIsFAB @duskullbf And you can be told that DMV stands for DC, Maryland, and Virginia (and were) and not be obtuse about it (knowing that DC is the small area of the map housing the nation's capital city), but here we are.

@SnowyBug09 @mxm08_ @JoshIsFAB @duskullbf Well I've never heard anyone use ATL or H-town but I can pretty readily assume ATL means Atlanta and can be told that the H in H-town means Houston. That's more straightforward.

@SheepEtiquette @mxm08_ @JoshIsFAB @duskullbf I personally don't think it's reasonable to debate about the name of an area after getting an explanation about it, asking "why not call it something else?"

@SheepEtiquette @mxm08_ @JoshIsFAB @duskullbf You very clearly do. Otherwise, you would've gone on about your day yesterday. Read through all my responses (I know you have). I didn't "go off" at anyone until y'all came for me, even after giving y'all the explanations y'all asked for.

@SheepEtiquette @mxm08_ @JoshIsFAB @duskullbf Refer to my previous questions regarding cities and their metro areas. You really didn't make any point nor did it prove anything (other than the fact that you can't accept that that's what this area is called and leave it at that).

@SnowyBug09 @mxm08_ @JoshIsFAB @duskullbf 2 just proves my point that I made here, that the name "DMV" on its own doesn't properly describe the actual area you're referring to and you need additional information to figure that out.

@SheepEtiquette @mxm08_ @JoshIsFAB @duskullbf No, that's how YOU interpret it. The most normal interpretation would be DC and the surrounding area because DC is listed FIRST. Knowing that DC houses the nation's capital, one would logically assume that DMV refers to the parts of the states around DC, NOT their entire states.

@SnowyBug09 @mxm08_ @JoshIsFAB @duskullbf So 1 is a non argument. If I tell someone who doesn't already know the term I'm referring to the "DC, Maryland, and Virginia" area, they will assume I'm talking about Virginia+Maryland and including DC because it is between those states. That is the most normal interpretation.

@PokeDuelsTikTok As a whole, the community won't. Too many people in the community can't see past their own experiences or their own bubble to realize that no, not everyone has the same access they do.

will this community ever get over its elitism issues? and borderline classist takes ?

@mediacliteracy @PokeDuelsTikTok A person doesn't have to have experienced something to know it's a problem, like white people who call out racist practices against minorities or men who call out sexism against women.

@PokeDuelsTikTok i think it’s funny you’d be claiming classism/elitism is a widespread “community” issue when you have in no way experienced either

@SheepEtiquette @mxm08_ @JoshIsFAB @duskullbf Bonus: By NOT trying to argue about the name and trying to tell people what it should be called.

@SheepEtiquette @mxm08_ @JoshIsFAB @duskullbf By doing one of two things: 1) Knowing that DC is a very small by land size area (remember your US history), so the reasonable, logical deduction is that it's referring to the portions of the states around it, not the whole state 2) Asking a clarifying question.
