found a folder of five unreleased ocean eyes demos many years ago online somewhere. completely forgot I had them until I was digging through my computer and realized this demo turned into Verge. love hearing the evolution of his sound over the years
flashback to about 40 years before the Civil War. there was a widely-present but oft-overlooked class of white Americans who were too poor to own slaves, and too expensive to hire (because…slavery). they were described by other classes as ignorant, degenerate criminals.
much like the slaves, they were treated as cannon fodder in the war, and absent conscripts were hunted with dogs.
after the war, freed blacks were considered “humble, quiet, and hardworking” while the impoverished whites were called “illiterate, vicious, worthless barbarians”
this is not to undermine the injustice of slavery – racial or otherwise – in any way, but I do think if white privilege wasn’t even a thing before the Civil War, it’s certainly not a thing today
This entire article is fascinating but
Can we stop romanticizing the confederacy now? The people I’m talking to know who they are
And that’s just like, one of the hundreds/thousands of other sketchy things the site has going on in the background by just sitting on any of its web pages without an adblocker/scriptblocker
Yo, if you wanna use KissAnime, you gotta be able to protect yourself & your computer from its shadiness. This post is discouraging, but sadly, there aren’t any less shady alternatives (aside from the legal streaming sites, of course) Anyway, if you wanna use any streaming site, you should download these Chrome extensions:
This extension is a lifesaver, seriously. Personally, I’ve never seen it used on Kiss, but it works a lot on other streaming sites. With uBlock, Essentials, and Pop Up Blocker, it’s very rare that I see ads.
As the name suggests, it blocks crypto miners. I can’t vouch for its reliability yet, as it hasn’t blocked anything for me atm.
I also use a tampermonkey script to block the “Are You Human?” thing. Pretty sure it’s on the Kissanime reddit (also, if you use Kiss a lot, browse that sub even more!! It’s really useful to know what the hell is going on the site before you risk your computer). Make sure to download Malwarebytes, too!
reblogging this again because this is a much better version than just saying “dont use kissanime”
All illegal streaming services do stuff like this, so instead of going somewhere else, learn how to protect yourself from malicious advertisements.
