Well that's a damn shame, I actually liked the dude and took a liking to his style.

But starting beef? Now that's unheard of. Then again, I don't actively pay a whole lot of attention to any personal e-beef on this board.

Rushed copy/paste stuff eh? Yeah I can't frankly say that that didn't happen to me either.

In the Circus of Humiliating Arguments thread when I was responding to both Astaro's post and quoting someone's dumb post from CBR.

You and me both I guess.

I like how moving forward, it’ll be considered racist to ever make April white again but it’s totally not racist to have made her black.

(And yes I’m aware she’s black in early works too. I’m pointing out the double standards with how people treat race-swapping)

Uh technically mate, she actually (wasn't for the most part).

Despite having somewhat frizzy curly hair, I always had some personal doubts regarding the notion that April even looked black in the original comics. Since even white women had hair styles like that back in the 80's.

I did read somewhere that she was also kinda at some point based off of Kevin Eastman's then-wife, April Fisher:

Who is stated to be of mixed-race, albeit white-passing.

So you can maybe argue that April was biracial (maybe of Irish/Scottish/English ancestry and Black African ancestry) or racially ambiguous at best. Any comic scans with April being fully black were just silly non-canon scans submitted by guest indie creators in a contest or something.

For your convenient reference, his blog post explains it all:

Was April O'Neil Originally Black in the Mirage Comics? (Spoiler: No, she Wasn't)

There has been a long-standing misconception within the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle community, and especially those outside of it, that...

I like skyrim a lot but I feel obligated to mod the hell out of skyrim whenever I play. With morrowind I generally just want better graphics (well that and a furniture mod, I need to autistically sort my scroll collection into a wine bottle holder leave me alone!) With skyrim I want more interesting stories, characters, and mechanics.

Im also a fan of oblivion despite it's short comings and consider it better then skyrim. The first time I did a water walking on touch spell and named it jesus horse I felt like a god. The simplification of systems, especially the magic system has really harmed my enjoyment of skyrim to the extent I basically mod an entire new system to enjoy magic.
