man... i was going through my 15 year old deviantart account and i actually really really miss that site. like tumblr is fun and insta is.. insta... but i dont think since then there's been such an art-focused community with so many people talking to each other and commenting on each others work quite like deviantart

(ofc massive disclaimer that i probably have some rose-tinted vision and the site was full of creeps and pedos... so if we could just have the good parts of it back LMAO)

Is the sterek thing that was mentioned in some Deadpool comic true? Is it a comic made my a fan or a legit published one???

It is a real, legit thing that happened in a real, legit Deadpool comic. It's in the Alyssa Wong run of Deadpool (2022). [Which I absolutely recommend: Deadpool dates nonbinary royalty who is genuinely so fucking attractive???, has a fever dream where he's essentially married to Cable, besties with Wolverine, and banging Spider-man and makes a Teen Wolf joke. Proof ↓]

This is why I shouldn't be near any media because I will find a way to put my ship into different clothes and possibly in different au 😤😤😤

saw this and its such an odd decision and frankly i dont think they'd be able to go through with it.

the ENTIRE game is based around eroticism and is hypersexual there is no way you can or even *should* make it for a younger audience. there would be no game.

Idk if it’s because of how I’ve curated my feed but I rarely see people shitting on Christine. Any E/C space I’m in is mostly about centering Christine and her satisfaction.

That said, I feel the constant need to warn people that “If you like Erik and Christine as a couple, remember not to have that kind of relationship IRL” is kind of annoying. I get the intention, but people, including young people, aren’t stupid and don’t need constant reminders to not be inspired by their toxic faves.

Like yes girl, I know the Phantom is not a real man. I wish a wealthy, nerdy, musically talented, intelligent old man that lived underground and wanted to help me with my music career was real. But he’s not, so I’m gonna indulge in fiction.

Bless the rest of y’all that get involve in the discourse though. Honestly, could not be me.

not to be a boomer on main… but i think children should adequate to the online experience instead of every site having to shift and model themselves to whatever the fuck children consume the most

im sick and tired of everything nowadays being made “with kids in mind” because CEOs have figure out thats the demographic they can exploit and get the most money out of

today is the tiktokification of every social media site, tomorrow who fucking knows, we should fucking stop this

US moment (cringe), but had to go to a meeting at work today (first of more I suspect) about what to do if our jobs become illegal 😭 I'm glad my boss has made us talk about this since June so no one is freaking out and everyone is ready but Woof. Everyone wanted that to be paranoia talk, y'know?

I like to think that none of the Vinsmoke brothers know where babies come from. Not because it's funny, even though it is, but because the idea of Judge teaching them about that is disturbing on a number of levels.

Honestly, it's not even because it is disturbing. Bold of you to assume Judge would care enough to teach them these things. I think they do know but only because Judge just told one person from the staff to take care of the topic. That being said, they don't have any knowledge when it comes to sex and protection so that might be a problem. Then again, they wouldn't even care anyway so--

I get that apparently porn artists can get prosecuted for distributing porn to a minor just for being followed by minors, and in general I support people's right to be like "this is an 18+ space and I don't want any kids here", but I really really hate when people treat the potential for legal prosecution as a problem caused by minors and not something that 99% of them are going to be completely unaware of. It's an adult law made by conservative lawmakers and enforced by adult legal systems, not. Minors. Who have sex drives that start up around 13 or so, many of whom are going to look at "18+ minors dni" stuff and go "this sign won't stop me because I can't read" regardless, out of rebellion if not actual desire.

I also generally hate using the term "minors" because I think it leads too easily to treating anyone under 18 as some sort of collective group with its own culture or something instead of. Any human person under the age of 18.

(I also think way too many people just accept that porn and any discussions of sex is damaging/traumatizing for anyone under 18, but that's another story.)

i wonder if there's the potential for a solution to the doxxing fucking over marginalized people specifically thing and/or the some people only being able/knowing where to engage with community online thing if we we were able to like. weaponize the relative lack of actual anonymity in the opposite direction.

like for one thing, instead of doxxing just resulting in problems from others in person, using that information to actively support the person instead, and for another for the other potentially more targeted use of the internet to find people to engage with in person (although that one you'd have to be even more careful about in case it worked in the opposite direction. I'm just thinking it would be nice to have something more structured/widespread than happening to find out your internet friends are in your local area, that could potentially be used to circumvent people not meeting in third spaces/other issues people have initially finding local community in person.)

It would be nice if instead of exclusively finding offline solutions/telling people how to be more careful we could also use what's often part of the problem to our advantage when it does happen. Like, having a way to address it that isn't only preventative.

"why are people mad about AI being pushed on them when they SHOULD be mad about all the privacy erosion??"

1) plenty of us bitches are mad and annoyed about both, actually.

2) the privacy erosion has become the normalized state of existence for the average person for the last 10 fucking years at least, its snuck in, they disguise it as Convenient Features to Help You Shop Better, and thats IF they bother telling you theyre doing it, instead of just opting all your shit in without asking, its so fucking normalized that yeah, a lot of people do not bother to question it, they just sigh in resignation and go, yeah, i guess, do i even have other options? and they do, but theyre an investment of learning and time you dont have capacity for at the moment, or maybe you do but you feel like you dont bc it feels like a bigger hurdle than it is, and computer stuff is already kind of intimidating, cos man, what if you hit the wrong thing and brick your expensive ass machine? easier to just let it data harvest, you guess, it cant be THAT bad, can it? plenty of people live like this, put up with this, seek this out, its easier not to resist the privacy erosion. fucking whatever, i guess. yeah, i guess twitter i mean X, or walmart, or facebook, can just have all of my contact info and my phone number and my birthday and phone contacts and bank information and fuck it, give them my ssn while im at it. less effort later. this is just how tech has been for the last 10 yrs. no one can effectively get rage clicks on this topic anymore bc we all fucking know. it sucks and we know. what do you want me to fucking do about it? i have other shit to deal with more urgently. etc

3)

you cant turn anything on or log onto anything or go anywhere without hearing about whatever new shit theyre throwing AI at for no real reason, no one will fucking Shut Up about AI, and its Annoying, man

not to be dramatic or crazy controversial or anything but building walls and policies against the people around you based solely on what boxes youd slate them in before giving them the basic respect of them being people just like yourself first and then moving from there doesnt actually do good for anyone in any direction i think and its been Really Weird seeing the separatism get more and more intense and Righteous or whatever has actually been insane
