A Molly for pride month!

also many statements about “girls are the best” and “girls should always support girls” and “men can’t understand” end up used by female abusers to groom and/or control dfab youth

Personally speaking the only bad thing feminism has ever done to me is make me see a bunch of discourse about feminism on the internet

[hpmort]

Because it’s intentionally satire, or so one would assume?

Are there a bunch of Chaotic Evil Pansexual characters that I’ve never heard about because they’re not popular, or is that genuinely a moneymaking combination?

Like, Deadpool, Rick Sanchez- everyone loves them, they’re ridiculously popular, Deadpool and Rick and Morty make so much money, and Wade Wilson and Rick Sanchez are, like, the only fictional pansexuals I know of.

(Depression might be part of the winning combination, too?)

Seriously, like, there is money there. If you want to propose something to a studio, you appeal to what makes money, and you know what makes money? Chaotic Evil Pansexuals

sometimes when I'm bored, I go through the list of recent bad faith Wikipedia edits that have since been reverted. a lot of them are politically contentious/offensive topics that attract crazies and trolls in general, but sometimes there are completely innocent inoffensive articles that people attack for no reason. some guy yesterday vandalized the article on the chemical element francium

sorry i covered your neck in dark hickeys and clamped down hard on your throat like limp prey while i was giving you a handjob. you whimpered a little too soft and i blacked out and believed myself to be a feral dog in possession of an entire rotisserie chicken

I know the “sounds good” in this context probably means that it’ll be good for selling supplements, but the way it was phrased made me think he was saying it seemed like it’d be pleasant to consume. And people do eat the things that make up antlers, but it’s still wild?

It’s like he was like, “ah, finally an ethical way to consume my favorite food; bone marrow.”

Utah Macy’s really knows how to cater to their market.

There’s like this Whole Thing where Internet People get Angry at people who are questioning themselves if it turns out they weren’t queer, because it’s “a betrayal” or “invasion”- this isn’t something that normal people encounter, but this is Tumblr

(Also if you turn out to be queer but in a different way than you thought earlier you may have “lied” about it, even if you ended up meta-closeting yourself due to high levels of transmisandry that were circulating at the time?)

wow this is so brave. finally someone heroic enough to tell people they can be cis

(usually unless you fuck up somewhere along the line homegrown tomatoes are better than those from the grocery store, purely by virtue of being fresher. if your friend’s are not better than the market’s, then something has gone wrong!

a farmer’s market is a more apt comparison, but also the friend’s tomatoes are likely cheaper?

this is largely unrelated to the point, I am just pointing out my issues with your metaphor)

anyways I always felt like it’s a disservice to the AI to call the people who input the prompts “artists”, because it’s like saying that Pope Sixtus IV was the one who made the Sistine Chapel. I have since waffled back and forth on that metaphor, given that inputting the prompts to get an AI to generate anything vaguely useful is absurdly difficult, but also I assume that, like, Michelangelo didn’t do the architectural parts or give the numbers? But still, was it the Pope who did that?

I think that what we’ve come to term “AI Artists” should maybe be treated, if not as commissioners or patrons for the AI, or at least not as being somehow “the artist” rather than a collaborator?

I think an underdiscussed element in the AI art backlash is that artists are being forced to reckon with the fact that most of your audience is in it because they think your art is good and not because they are communing with your person. Yes, I do mostly enjoy art as an item, not an expression. When I read 17776 or played mother 3 I was not primarily thinking about how Jon Bois or the employees at HAL Laboratories have such rich and interesting personalities. I was not "observing".

You could call it parasocial. Like, if you are my friend I might humor you and lie that your homegrown tomatoes are so much better than the ones at the grocery store, because I know you were sharing something you loved and cared about. But you are not my friend. You are the grocer.

Tumblr loves pretending that their pet government dog is different, as if a hungry lab isn’t just as willing to eat a man as a wild wolf.

My apologies for the dubiously coherent metaphor.

People who say that social workers and the like are somehow ~different~ have never had to deal with being disabled or neurodivergent; people leave kids with their abusive guardians out of laziness and rip them from the homes of loving families for refusing to abuse them (to avoid accusations of transphobia I will specify this is BS I went through in elementary school because my parents were on the fence about putting me in ABA and I wasn’t “meeting developmental goals”)
