How to find all my links to all the stuff I'm doing across the internet linktr.ee/acvalens

Hey you know what would be really cool of Bluesky to help Ana make rent and help someone who was dealing with drama that didn't deserve any.

Anne of Valleys.

Your friend h would appreciate it if you helped Ana tbh

Help my friend pay rent

Please help Ana. A cool journalist and cool content creator.

go help Ana!

I really don’t want to reactivate but, it’s that time of the month where I ask for help with rent — anything you’re able to spare goes a long way ko-fi.com/acvalens

Not a fun decision to come back early but bills don’t care about internet drama

Technically this is the correct link ko-fi.com/acvalens/goa...

stream tonight will be up on proton drive shortly + rplay after, you can watch either by subbing to giantess worshipper on patreon / substar. screengrab whatever posts you want to but otherwise i'm off here for a bit -- bye!!! linktr.ee/acvalens

giantess yuri asmr VRChat stream where everyone is a girl even you live now, show starts at 6pm et nyara isn't involved i just like this art of us by my friend ravine uwu #giantess #sizesky #vore twitch.tv/acvalens

I have a yuri-themed giantess ASMR stream tonight that I think would be nice for folks here to see, so I'm going to stay reactivated just until stream is done (starts at 6 ET)

(i kindly ask everyone be normal about me!)

One final point I’ll add here, I’ve considered wrapping up my journalistic content entirely and officially moving on to adult content creation only — not because of RW harassment, but because of some of the behaviors I’ve seen on here. Huge “it’s not safe to do the work anymore” vibes now

This is not a huge secret, I’ve been largely doing microblogging journalism at this point, but man… no one tells all their friends I’m a monster because I placed a plap SFX in an odd location 😭

It's 2006. I log on to witness a circular firing squad of trans women. It's 2016. I log on to witness a circular firing squad of trans women. It's 2026.

I’m going to reactivate quickly to say something, then I’m out again: A lot of the harassment going on this week is a circular firing squad. It’s trans women yelling at other trans women and then dragging in personal beefs aimed at those trans women which upsets more trans women ☎️ from the 🏠

It’s not just that people should treat each other better it’s that people tolerate insane abusive behavior, gaslighting and rumormongering, all because it results in a spectacle. You either choose to join in the spectacle or you kick that shit out. Most people choose the former, here we are

Anyway I’ll keep this up a bit, you can screengrab and repost it when I’m gone, I’ll be off for a bit… linktree in pinned has all my socials. Bye

Btw, Kate and I had some incredibly respectful and meaningful convos on what happened to Parker — even tho we find ourselves with some differing opinions — because we care about each other and want the best for one another and the people we know. Another way is possible but you have to WANT IT !!!

She's right. Yall cant just keep trashing the bathroom and simultaneously expecting things to get better while also complaining about how nasty it is.

if this continues, you're going to wake up with no trans journalists because you've chased them all off.

be normal about ana valens challenge: impossible

I've been dealing with a lot of weird and aggressive comments, a lot of people have responded to my opinion about the Isabelle-Parker thing by saying awful things about / toward me, including some really terrible messages off-site. I'm going to deactivate for a bit

Important that people do not look for a pound of flesh from *another trans woman* if they feel said trans woman was not sufficiently supportive... though I will stress, as I have done repeatedly, that Parker was harassed and unfairly treated and should not have been driven off the site, period

Twitch suspended a VTuber after incorrectly assuming she was "under the minimum age required in your region." As she wrote, Twitch has her "tax information as an affiliate," so the false age flag makes zero sense

IMO the Isabelle mod discourse has spiraled way out of control. Put it to bed and let it go. Parker shouldn't have to leave Bluesky. As I've said before people DID take things too far for her. I also think things worsened today as more people realized she's a trans woman. Just my two cents

(1) I'm allowed to have my own opinion about the matter & disagree with some things she posted (2) I also do feel she's part of a larger pattern of trans women ran off Bluesky, I think that's an obvious thing that occurred (3) If you can't accept that I have both of these opinions, I'm not for you

*over her, not for her bsky.app/profile/acva...

seeing people trying to get a pound of flesh out of me now, so here's what i'm going to say: if i think you're engaging in bad faith or looking to send people my way to harass me, it's a block if i pull a qrt and you qrt me again, it's a block

meanwhile as the isabelle discourse happens on here, vtuber twitter is having a mini-discourse about whether vallure accepts trans women... go back in the box 2026, we're right back to 2025

(For those wondering: Stronny said no in a 2023 stream, this was official agency policy, then in 2025 they changed it to "if you sound like a woman come on down." The talent themselves are trans-inclusive and have collabed with tgirls before. idk whether they'd actually let a non-stealth tgirl in)

my oc redesign

The family of Patrick Dane has made public today the devastating news that their beloved son and brother was in a car accident on December 27th and is no longer with us. His father and stepmother, who were also in the vehicle, are in critical condition, but stable.

Weird is not bad if it was in your inner circle of friends, once you leave that sphere and you say something is weird you loose all intentions and its auto read as a negative. Like it one thing if my friend is saying it, its another if a stranger is saying it about me.

Another thing worth mentioning is how “weird isn’t bad” is not a winning argument to like a site where 75% of the userbase was shoved into a locker in high school for being weird lol

Like yeah, there’s nothing wrong with accepting that you’re different… but everyone knows being labeled as “weird“ in a group social setting creates permission to harass and abuse someone, this is at the core of “normalize X” politics. To end abusive stigma.

early 2010s tumblr experience was so effective at shaming me out of making my art or character designs even a little bit sexy. thankfully I grew out of that mindset but so many others didn't, and those people are directly contributing to the oppressive and censorious environment we're living in now.

This entirely and it’s why a lot of games journalist consistently dropped the ball on censorship discourse

Oh Yeah, this site is for the Posters

Furries are so used to being shat on (gee, look around) that anything even as benign as "hey what is this?" (Out of Confusion, mockery, whatever) elicits a startled reaction, because like... yeah of course it would! Predominantly queer group getting the Proverbial shit kicked in for bein different

Hasan was right lol

hey, i'm looking for work! full-time or freelance 💜 journalist, critic, author proficient in features, criticism, reporting, reviews, previews, news, guides words at lost in cult, RPS, VGC, unwinnable, gamesradar+, polygon, EDGE, PLAY muckrack.com/ash-like-a-d... ashleyschofieldwrites@gmail.com

With 2026 fully upon us now, worth nothing that I too am looking for work to help supplement my current gig. I am open to: - Reviews - Mock reviews - Interviews - Previews - Features/Op-eds - Guides - Across all relevant platforms Email is in my description, DMs are open. Reposts are appreciated!

I think a lot of this discourse has also devolved into any trans woman with an opinion getting this aggro treatment

it's so transparent that the UK's online censorship act was about bashing the freaks and queers and not at all about reigning in what corporations can do. the labour party is fractally contemptible; the actions are bad, but if you dig into their motives they prove to be even worse.

Really do feel like the problem was so many people going "sexism is bad, ergo, boobs are bad, because they're just absolutely sloshing and overfull of sexism" rather than catching on that the Real Sexism is in the way women are casually depersoned and shoved into narrow boxes in a lot of scripts

Lil Gift Fanart for :3

Hello everyone. Unfortunately, I was told that I would not be resuming my daily news writer role at Insider Gaming. So, needless to say, I am open for game journalism work. If you’re looking for a reviewer, previewer, news and/or guide writer, as well as mock reviews, please reach out. Thank you.

Oh, it's been around longer than the 2010s. I was getting flak for having a gay inflatable unicorn character in the mid-90s.

For fucks sake Giamarco opened his set at anthrocon(?) by joking that "he did research on what furries where before going by watching CSI" and the room died laughing, cause we all remember when that was all that normies knew about furries in general. Like i lived that history!

I am in my mid 20s and I still remember that! It wasn't that long ago!

A bit depressing left & liberal media figures immersed in online culture fail to grasp why, for example, furries might take offense to having furry stuff put on blast… everyone over 30 remembers “yiff in hell, furfags.” Internet culture literacy is super important in today’s environment

Furries understand, on a basic level, that they are engaging in deviant sexuality. We generally don't mind this and embrace being weird as a point of pride. But there is a fear that other people will make the fact that you're weird their problem, which can lead to a defensive posture.

Essentially:

i'm kind of fundamentally over calling someone who's doing something harmless "weird" like this. let's save that energy for the guys wearing masks trying to break into daycares to surveil kids

I do think folks took things WAY too far toward Parker But I think a lot of liberal and left media folks fail to comprehend the anger and resentment people feel after the Collective Shout situation, OSA, Texas SB 20, age verification laws, the bad internet bills, and so on. Of which there’s a lot

Bluesky has an enormous adult community on here that is now politically mobilized thanks to the Collective Shout organizing. A lot of people are wondering “uhh, where did this come from?” because they did not follow the hard work around paypros & internet bills. Even tho it affects all of us

Let’s talk turkey. The media has not taken this issue seriously for years. Few ppl defend pornography in left media. The end result is increasing resentment. That’s it. People did take things way too far toward Parker. But anyone paying attention knows there are intense emotions in play rn

-many queer people were left behind in the name of "making the community safe and unproblematic". I'm all for holding abusive people accountable. But so many went and conflated those people with artists just drawing their own kinks, it's insane how widespread it was.

as someone who was a victim of this moral panic and spent years under therapy and who saw multiple NSFW artists and friends broken over this by the same furries who called themselves progressive in the same breath, it's a relief to see this kind of discussion finally taking place. I feel like so-

much zoomer / millennial queer stuff is also a history of departure from pre-existing community. detransition baby has that whole thing about traumatized baby elephants — the subtext is that white trans women abandon each other + are scared of integrating into non-white tgirl communities that don’t

Torrey talks a bit about this here, race is something a lot of white trans women miss around DTB even though it’s the fundamental puzzle piece to the book, it’s uniquely about white trans women bumbling around and bumping into each other and others www.huckmag.com/article/torr...

DTB is kind of a book about white trans women having some Problems

Okay... But what kind of weird?

an under-appreciated divide in the world is between people who have seen untold millions of cartoons fucking each other, and those for whom that is a rare occurrence

This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro. But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

I think this is going to be another big PR mess for ENVTubing and the first one to start 2026. Most VTubers & VTuber fans are accepting of Neuro-sama despite the industry being very anti-AI. However your average person will understandably hear this and shudder, argue that AI is replacing streamers

We don’t actually know what LLM is powering Neuro-sama, nor is Vedal going to tell us those specifics, just that it is an LLM behind her

A lot of people on the left fail to reckon their role in making all the paypros stuff worsen, all the porn moral panics hit state and national legislatures. Like, yeah, a culture of treating goonery shit as indefensible created this current climate of social and financial censorship

At some point we have to look at 2014 - 2021 as a period in which leftist media basically gave up and caved to anxiety around pornography

"Well you see, women with large breasts are porny, women with small breasts are lolis, and anyone whose cup size isn't smack dab between a B and a C is womaning wrong." —some male games journos

Honestly, if this was the 2010s there would be all these insufferable cis male games journalists going “erm, isn’t this Isabella mod with the curves weird toward women?? 🤔“ and you’d have to keep to yourself knowing that the writer in question was, in fact, very weird toward women

This isn’t a commentary on the person who started the discourse but a culture of puritanism that ran through games journalism in the 2010s, and anyone claiming bringing this up is some kind of attempt at transphobia is gonna get blocked. Be real about why I’m discussing this, ie sex moral panics

I don’t have any issues with Parker here but how a sizable chunk of people are running defense around calling the mod weird and worth scrutinizing, I’ve seen that song and dance before

Remembering the Dragon's Crown controversy being 75% men being uncomfortable on women's behalf, and many women not saying anything - very funny in retrospect!

“It’s weird and you’re reading too much into me saying that” is all reactionary nonsense. Sexual expression is not weird. What’s weird is judging people off random horny mods

The moment you call this stuff weird, what you’re saying is that it’s not socially acceptable or falls out of line with how normal people act. And that is a judgment of behavior, values

"they shouldn't be throwing it in our faces" as they fog up a stranger's bedroom windows from the outside

Honestly it’s just immature and adolescent to peer into online sexuality and comment on whether it’s weird or not, just a mark of the perceiver’s sexual discomfort… those confident in their sexuality are not obsessing over what strangers do online to express themselves erotically

Clearly a lot of people learned nothing from the paypros situation

The 2010s gave birth to this cringe culture obsession where people fixate on whether people mod their video games to be sexy. The reality is a lot of people are quietly huge perverts and no amount of public discourse nor shaming will stop people from wanting Isabelle to have fat tits

I find the obsession over gawking at this stuff adolescent, immature, and beneath most people that post it

There’s also the simple fact that politicians are actively trying to repress online sexual expression, at some point you’re doing their work for them. Like they are in fact trying to take away the porn bsky.app/profile/acva...
