• in addition to ignoring the context behind the war, Western online liberals tend to encourage sacrificing as many Ukrainian lives as “necessary” in order to regain control over pieces of land (primarily the Donbas and Crimea), regardless of what their long-time inhabitants want and what the Ukrainians forced to join the army want

      Thanks for also being the first other person I’ve seen refer to the commonly-accepted-but-fucked-up-practice of Ukrainians being forced to join the army against their will. Any male over 18 gets stripped from their families at the border when trying to flee the country, then forced to help kill Russians (and other Ukrainians) or face death - which is seriously awful.

          Oh fuck me, I thought we canibalized :rat-salute: from hexbear :sadness:

          But I do like it’s dithered style. Very much actually, it’s got great vibes just off of that.

              Fucking ayy, props for you. Maybe try making some emotes in the style of images Low Tech Magazine uses. I even tried making some monochrome photos specifically to dither them like that, the results are nice but you kind of need to know what you are doing with the light so it turns out well. You can always mess with the contrast and that could work too.

              Either way, the photos edited to look that way look fucking amazing. Dithering rocks.
