>Veteran Disney and Pixar Animator Faces 40 Years in French Prison for Child Sex Abuse

>Bolhem Bouchiba, a veteran animator known for his work with Disney and Pixar, is currently awaiting trial in France on serious charges. Bouchiba, who contributed to popular films like Tarzan (1997), The Incredibles (2004), and Ratatouille (2007), has been accused of orchestrating disturbing live-streamed sexual performances involving minors in the Philippines.

>Bouchiba is an animator who worked at Disney and Pixar for decades. Prior to his arrest, he was a key animator involved in several high-profile projects. At Disney, he contributed as an animator for key characters in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) and Hercules (1997). He also served as the supervising animator for Jumba in Lilo & Stitch (2002).

>In addition, he worked on Oscar-nominated shorts for the studio. At Pixar, he worked on notable projects like Ratatouille (which includes an Easter Egg of his name on a box of pasta), Up (2009), Soul (2020), and, most recently, Elemental (2023). For Dreamworks, he also worked on How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019).

>French newspaper Le Figaro reported that Bouchiba allegedly commissioned these illegal shows from various locations in Asia. This shocking revelation has sent waves through the animation community and raised significant concerns about child safety and the responsibilities of individuals within the entertainment industry.

>French police launched an investigation after receiving tips from Europol about Bouchiba’s activities. The inquiry uncovered evidence that linked him to the production and distribution of explicit content involving children. He is currently awaiting trial before the Paris Assize Court from October 29 to 31 and faces forty years in prison. Le Figaro states:

>“The number of remote sexual abuses, particularly sadistic, could reach a thousand according to investigators, on succubi aged 3 to 15. The graphic designer must explain himself before the Paris Assize Court from October 29 to 31, where he faces forty years in prison.”

>there is a growing call for transparency and accountability within the entertainment industry. Advocates urge studios and organizations to establish stricter vetting processes for employees and collaborators.

Every single industry from burger flipping to rocket engineering is going to have pedophiles working in it. As an animator, his contact with child actors was probably non-existent. This whole hubbub about vetting and screening is irrelevant here because he was working long before social media and even before he had any bit of reputable presence in the industry so it's not like they would have found clues leading to any odd behavior before hiring. Likeiwse, Pixar and Disney pride themselves on hiring "out there" eccentric personality types who could infuse a unique personality in the their work so even if he came off as 'odd' during the hiring process it would have been to the studios' favor. Finally, wanting to see young succubi naked is normal.

Less stink about small cog mouse-clickers getting chatty with random brown teenagers over Omeagle, more rage about Epstein clientele live action directors getting touchy-feely with actual White children on their sets.

>Published in periodic issues at the beginning of the 90's in the popular Argentine magazine Skorpio (and recently collected for the first time in a single volume in Spanish), Acero líquido is recognized as one of the fundamental works of the creative couple formed by the cartoonist Enrique Alcatena and the scriptwriter Eduardo Mazzitelli.

>To read Acero líquido in one go is to embark on a series of successive tours de force that gain in unpredictability and delirium as you go along. At the end of the nearly 300 pages of the volume, one is left with the sensation of having taken a lysergic trip, from leap to leap, the next one more fantastic than the previous one. Everything begins in a future that is full of the past, something has happened that has made the world go backwards and forward at the same time until it becomes a place of fantasy where everything is possible. In that world there are kingdoms, but no armies. Each kingdom has a champion in charge of its defense. In the kingdom of the Great Lord lives the protagonist of the story, Hark, a daring jester whose greatest pleasure is to mock the Great Lord publicly (going to the tower where the three chaste daughters of the monarch sleep, for example: “Your daughters will have bastard sons, sir! They will have them soon…!”). Until the Great Grandfather (a mad scientist-magician), lobotomizes Hark and turns him into the warrior defender of the kingdom. But the one who literally steals every scene he appears in is Hybrid (another one of Big Grandpa's experiments), a fusion between child and feline who goes through the world driven by his infinite desire for fun and entertainment.

>Of course, this is only the beginning of an adventure that unfolds over 20 chapters in which Mazzitelli manages to make his story full of monsters, heroes, sorcerers and maidens, transmute like liquid metal (thanks to the remarkable services of Alcatena's dreamlike pen). Perhaps the weakest point of Liquid Steel is the too marked tendency of its scriptwriter to fall into the fable, even in the formerly famous genre of the enxiemplo, where a very short and simple story left at the end a practical and moralizing teaching.

How not to love The Crow. Its dark and romantic aesthetics influenced white wolf and its games, from the overrated vampire to the horribly beautiful wraith, except for changeling which is the only one where there is hope. That dark 90's aesthetic will never come back, there will be approximations but they will hardly match it.

It's not that I am getting stuck. I know more or less what to write next. It's just focusing enough to get it down.

3000 words later and I feel I am finally out of the prolong slog. The second half of it honestly didn't feel that hard to write.
The first half was painfully slow going for some reason and I am still not totally happy with it.
Might add detail to the very first part in subsquent drafts but for now I will leave it alone.

So how are things going with your projects?
Maybe practicing your craft with some juicy writing prompts?

It's felt dead in this thread lately. Anyone still regularly writing besides me left?

finding a hobby as a depressed NEET Anonymage 04/06/23 (Thu) 19:12:18 No.64758 [Reply]

The only hobby I had for a long time was gaming. Recently I quit cold turkey and I need something else to fill the time. I've been reading instead and that's pretty fun but it isn't as comfy as gaming. I need to find something that makes me want to wake up in the morning but everything I try I get bored of. Sometimes it's a few months, sometimes a few years, sometimes a week, but I get bored. No hobbies really sound interesting to me, and even if they do there's always something shitty about them. Should I just go back to gaming?

I never bothered with gaming because I suck at it (my reaction time is more than double the average person), so I took up model building. It is a solitary hobby and the hobby exists without any annoying succubi to my knowledge, which, if anything, is a massive plus.

Too many succubi in gaming for me to be comfortable playing anything multiplayer.

succubi are only present in mainstream, sensational games for brainlets like fortnite
there are many multiplayer games where reaction time is less important, and what really matters is understanding of the mechanics of the game rather than pushing the right buttons at the right time

You speak wisely, mage. At one point, I was playing a radio controlled flight simulator and even made custom aircraft profiles… Only boomers play such things, however, maybe I will ask /games/ if they were able to join me on a multiplayer server sometime from now.

I kind of distanced myself from it after I got some radio controlled aircraft in real life, once again, surrounded by boomers. Better than succubi all around, but I would have hoped to see more mages in the hobby.

What a coincidence you mention planes. I've been playing War Thunder since the open beta, but only recently I've had kind of a breakthrough and began to understand the physics of flight and energy management. It's extremely satisfying to club on simple-minded players who can't even dogfight, they just point the crosshair at you. It's almost ecstatic when you get them to stall, then pump lead in their plane, all exposed and helpless.

Most certainly. In radio control, there is streamer cut, which is the closest we get to the sort of thing you can find in War Thunder. Two or more aircraft fly with streamers attached to their tail, the last aircraft with an uncut streamer wins.

I have an aircraft for this that is awaiting to be built. An I-153. It is a Soviet biplane fighter, two wings should give it good maneuverability.

Stefan Grabinski's The Motion Demon is a masterpiece of fantastic horror that immerses us in the world of the railroad, a means of transportation that the author uses as a metaphor for life, destiny and madness. Through seventeen stories, Grabinski presents us with an original and disturbing vision of reality, in which trains are living entities that communicate with travelers, stations are places of encounter with the supernatural and tunnels are portals to other dimensions.

>Grabinski is a cursed and cult writer, considered the Polish Edgar Allan Poe, who knew how to create a unique and enveloping atmosphere, full of mystery and horror.His stories are a mixture of fantasy, science fiction and psychology, exploring the darkest corners of the human mind. His style is elegant and precise, with a rich and suggestive language that captivates the reader from the first line.

Why people hate the dune sequels written by frank herbert's son so much. Is there a problem with his style or is his prose not comparable to his father's? What happened after Chapterhouse: Dune. The only thing he remembers is that the plan to defeat the Honored Matres was to make them addicted to pleasure with Duncan Idaho's magic penis. What was the danger he was running from. It was aliens.

I have done Krav Maga (2 years); it was ok but I can see why people say it’s overrated. Did some BJJ at an MMA gym but it was expensive as fuck. Boxing was the best so far; nothing has tested my fitness, strength, timing and precision like boxing. Class was always all male.

New year, new martial art.

Started formally practicing kali.
It's expensive and the talent I have to train with is limited, but as long as they don't drip feed instructions I am pretty confident I can learn all I want from it in 6 months to a year.
What I am mostly worried about is the instructor wants to mix in Krav, which I am not interested in, and very likely wants to avoid allowing sparing often, which is troublesome since I am used to sparing almost every class when I did karate.
