I think DTI has a racism problem :/

I've been playing for years. It used to be one of my favorite games. However, I've noticed something I hate: the darker my character's skin is, the more likely I am to lose.

Whenever I make white/pale characters, I tend to get on average 3rd place. I have only made it into the top three once as a black character.

I know I can dress the characters. I know I'm good at the game. But it is genuinely RARE for me to get a good rating as a black character. I've started not to use dark skin colors because I know it gets me nowhere.

I guess I'm just wondering if anybody else has seen this, and what to do about it.

The last image was the original. Which one is your guys' favorite? They were all super fun to make :)

My Dave and Jack designs! (DSAF)!

(Reposting for the second time because Reddit keeps eating the image quality ☹️)

I had a lot of fun making these, but I was wondering what you guys think of them! I personally prefer Jack's (orange one) design, but they were both nice to make.

Can I watch Venom (2018) without any Marvel knowledge and still understand?

I keep seeing clips of the Venom movies online and kinda want to watch it. However, I know jackshit about anything related to Marvel. Like, I know absolutely NOTHING. You could ask me which hero Peter Parker is, and I'd probably say Iron Man.

That being said, could I watch any of the Venom movies and still completely (or at least mostly) understand what's happening? I don't want to end up watching the movie and being confused the whole time because there's a bunch of backstory that you would only know about if you saw Spider-Man 1, 3, 15, 2, and 4 in that specific order.

Anything I could do to improve these ponies? (references included!)

(WARNING!! I would not recommend googling these characters. I will not pay for eye bleach. I gave you references so you DON'T have to google them. Take it and run.)

Credits: DarkChibiShadow

Pink character: Gummy

Scientist: Dr. Edwin Glumm

My main questions are: Is Gummy's design too complicated? Should I tweak the stripe colors on Gummy to look better? Should I keep Edwin's glasses or let them be eyes? Can I make Edwin's hair "poof" look less like a ponytail? How can I improve on either of them in general?

Which variant of Present Mic do y'all like better?

This is pre color correcting, so the colors may not be too cohesive, but still. Which one's better?

The whole "she doesn't want you bro" every time a man is somewhat kind to a woman online

(No hate to the guy in the image)

Every single fucking time I see a man online defending a woman (or a person who is anonymous but people assume is a man for some reason), all of the replies/comments just say something along the lines of "Why are you defending her? She'd probably make fun of you for wanting to crack then spread your dick picks everywhere." That is a real comment, btw. I copied and pasted that. The video that came from is about a FIFTEEN year old girl getting bullied online.

"She doesn't want you lil bro stop chasing hoes." Another comment I copied and pasted from the same video of a FIFTEEN. YEAR. OLD. GIRL. That's a CHILD. But because she's a woman, any positive attention she gets MUST be sexual.

Misogyny and the internet have ruined empathy in a lot of people, specifically young men. They view kindness as either a weakness or a service to be repaid in the future. If the only reason you can possibly imagine being kind to somebody else is to get sex in return, you need to get off of PornHub and take a break from the internet. It's disgusting how some people are only kind when it benefits them.

Am I still a valid acesexual person if I know I'd be a top if I did have sex?

I'm aegosexual (I don't want to have real sex but I masturbate, watch porn, fantasize about sex, etc). I know for a fact that if I did have sex, I would be a top. I was asking this exact question to my best friend and they said something along the lines of "if you know that you'd be a top, you obviously want to have sex and top somebody."

I have had sex before. I've been a sub and a dom before. I hated being a sub. I didn't hate being a dom, but that was only because I knew I was making somebody else feel good. I felt no pleasure myself.

I don't really want to have sex, but maybe they're right. I mean, like I said, I didn't exactly hate being a dom, but I still didn't really enjoy it. Maybe I just need to find the right person? Idk man :(

People who use the "don't blame yourself" meme are more childish than the actual child from the video.

I'm going to preface this by saying that while I somewhat enjoy the show, I agree that there is a lot wrong with it, the creator, and the fandom. Anyways.

So the person who made the og video (Morgan) is a child. An actual child. They had a friend who blamed themself for being SA'd. When Angel blamed himself for that, it obviously caused a reaction from somebody who is capable of empathy.

Making fun of a child breaking down in tears in the way some of you guys are is genuinely disgusting. Do I think it was an overreaction? Maybe. But kids overreact, especially in genuinely bad situations.

Do better. Be better. You are acting like children yourselves.

I hate it when Europeans pull out the school shooting card.

There will be a video about minor differences between America and any European country (though it's usually the UK). If there is ANY criticism from an American about how a European country runs, all Europeans in the comments will continue to go "Well at least my kids aren't getting shot at school" or "at least my schools don't have mandatory school shooting drills".

We fucking get it. We don't like it either. But it seems as if this is their ONLY defense. It's horrendously overused and barely even means anything anymore.

I saw a video where an American was responding to people in the UK who believe that Americans couldn't survive a UK heatwave. The American said that it is usually that hot, if not hotter, in Arizona, especially during summer. The comment section was just FULL of "Well, at least our kids survive school!" Shut the fuck up. That has nothing to do with what we're talking about. Just admit you're wrong and stop bringing ACTUAL TRAGEDY into what is a fairly civil conversation.

Edit: Jesus y'all did NOT understand what I was trying to say. I'm complaining about the people who use the school shooting card on posts where Americans say "I don't like beans on toast" or something like that. It's completely justified to complain about the issue, I do it too. But it's not a fair comparison when people bring it up in every small disagreement.

Is it too much to ask to just see the fucking stars in real life?

My boyfriend loves the stars. I always see images of them. They look so beautiful. But it's so bad that I haven't seen them since I was maybe ten. I want more than anything to sit out on the porch with him and listen to him talk while I admire the stars, but I can't. I don't even know if there's a way to fix this because I'm too fucking broke to keep going to the doctor and figure this out. I hate it so much.

What are some shows similar to Good Omens?

I finished watching Good Omens a few weeks ago, and I am now bored and wanting more. So what can you guys recommend that is similar to it? I love Biblical/mythological themes (heavy on Biblical THEMES, not Christian shows), MLM stories. I like dramas too. I'm mostly looking for romance, lol. Just no more doomed shit where they fucking die or don't get together, my heart can't take any more of that for a while 😭

What are some tips you guys have for making collages?

I've made multiple collages. However, I'm not great at it. The colors often don't go together, backgrounds are hard to figure out, and I can never find enough pins to add to it.

I see collages all the time so I want to make some of my own, but it's so difficult. Do you guys have any tips for how you make your own look good?

How do I convey that a character is aggressive/destructive AND make sure it's clear he's an angel?

So I'm writing a story, and one of the characters is Abaddon. If you don't know, Abaddon is the angel of the abyss, death, and destruction.

I personally think it is extremely important that you are able to learn about a character's key points by just looking at their design. So far, I've been pretty good at doing this. I'm struggling with Abaddon. I find it difficult to convey his destructive and aggressive nature while making sure the viewer knows he's an angel. The void/abyss theme is also very important to his character, so I want the viewer to be able to tell that he has something to do with that.

I hate when people get mad at others for drawing NSFW art.

Here's the thing: it's their art. As long as the character is 18+, I think it's fine to draw them in a sexualized manner.

This ESPECIALLY goes for if they are drawing NSFW of their own OC's (like the artist in the image). People are going to goon, and that's fine. People act like it's bad to have sexualized art.

Now, I do believe there are exceptions (drawing real people in an NSFW way without consent, drawing minors, sexualizing religions, etc). But honestly, other than that, I genuinely don't see why other people hate this.

How the hell do you guys figure out poses?

I've been drawing for a bit, and I basically exclusively draw characters (usually humanoid). However. I can never figure out how to pose characters without it being either a very generic pose or stiff looking.

I do use those "pose templates" sometimes, but I honestly don't like doing that because it feels like I'm "cheating." Do you guys have any tips on figuring out how to pose?

Which biblical demon could be used as an "embodiment" of wrath?

I'm writing a story which involves all seven of the deadly sins as a main focus (so original, I know). So far, my line-up is:

Pride: Lucifer

Gluttony: Beelzebub

Greed: Mammon

Envy: Leviathan

Lust: Asmodeus

Sloth: Belphagor

So I've gotten everything but wrath. "But OP, just use Satan as wrath!" No. The word "Satan" is a title meaning the "advisory," not a name. That's like having a character named Officer or Lawyer and pretending it's normal. I need an actual character.

Due to my desperation, if you feel that a "demon" from a religion similar to Christianity could fit the bill, suggest it, as it might be my only option.

Thanks for any help lol, and sorry if this is in the wrong sub. The post got deleted from r/writingadvice for not having correct flair. IF THIS IS IN THE WRONG SUB, TELL ME. Don't just downvote me if I'm wrong, it's honestly just confusing and cowardly.

I'm leaving.

Satanism has done me well. My mental health improved a lot when I started believing. But I've gotten a hold on my life and realized that Satanism itself wasn't what saved me religion in general was it.

I've been realizing that the religion I practiced before Satanism has truly always been what I believe deep down. So goodbye. Thank you for your time. I hope life as Satanists continues to go well far into the future for all of you.
