Like I want their attention.
Like I want their approval.
Like I want to be one of them.Nope. I was never welcome in your spaces beyond some notion of "usefulness". You can even observe an echo of this observation in the comment thread.
I am not, and never can or will be, a person of high esteem to that crowd.
So why would I write for you?
I write for my goddamn self. I write to help the people in my own space. Most are queer or furry (and the ones that aren't, simply don't mind that we are). They see me as part of a community, not some jackass on a pedestal that has to adhere to some abstract ideal of noble and/or academic etiquette.
My writing is messy, raw, and real.
What some people call arrogance or condescension is really frustration that, despite a better world being possible, egos get in the way of it happening.
So, lol, no thanks.
![8D banana expansion pack Audio paths and chess vectors now share one 8D engine. The banana renderer now has a companion 8D lab: an interactive Web Audio spatializer, custom HRTF vector input, and a sparse 8D chess board that maps eight players onto an 8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8 coordinate space. [left panel] 8D audio Play back a generated banana music loop and move it through an eight-axis orbit. Custom HRTF vectors reshape the path before it is projected to stereo panning, gain, and playback rate. [A "custom hrtf vector" in some text field, i have no idea what that does] [A button "Stop 8D banana audio"] [right panel] 8D chess Browse a deterministic 128-piece opening on a sparse 8D board. Each move uses the same vector projection helpers as the audio orbit, keeping the impossible board compact enough to inspect. [There's an 8x8 grid. most of the squares are black, but there are some that are green, no idea why. They have names of chess pieces plus some additional number like "K2+11" . Two buttons at the bottom "Previous vector" and "next vector" cycle which single square is yellow, and then it seems to also change the letters on it]](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media%5Fattachments/files/116/844/037/219/413/552/original/de584e8216e45277.png)
