Cultural impact is measured by how many POC stars your fandom can run off and cause to disavow the whole project and experience
Here's an interesting article re: the Avatar cultural impact debate, with this particularly trenchant line: "Unlike multiple actors associated with Star Wars and Marvel, no one on the Avatar cast is receiving death threats."

“ The daughter of a well known conservative operative , whose paper did not answer the topic at hand and had a carefully planned media campaign , had a trans instructor fired for grading a paper according to the agreed upon rubric”
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

AI use is putting real human people out of work and making those that still have jobs work even harder.
It's snake oil. The only way out is through zero tolerance.

To clarify this, the (very) small team behind the Indie Game Awards checked with the studio and asked, "NO AI was used in the creation of this game, right?" And the studio said "Nope, no way, not at all."
5 days after the game shipped the studio patched out AI-generated "temporary" backgrounds.

I need people to understand that this is a Nazi Bar situation and that's why we're making such a big deal out of it even if it was just a few placeholders that were quickly patched out

The only way I would want Geoff Keighley and the TGAs to follow suit is if they rescind Arc Raider's Best Multiplayer award, too. They used AI voice acting, which to me is even worse than what Sandfall did here.
I adored Clair Obscur but generative AI can go to hell. I need this bubble to burst.

Counterpoint: Live the kind of life where your family wouldn't want to be estranged from you.
There are only two kinds of people who argue against no-contact: Those who have never experienced the kind of soul-crushing relationship that requires it, and those who are the reason someone else did.

Yeah, no thanks.
Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

Had a fun experience at a dermatology appointment just now where the doctor asked how long ago I started 'transgendering' and blamed my acne (that started years prior to starting HRT) on my testosterone which I've been on for 8 years... ignoring the more logical answer: family history of severe acne

Correction: I misread Dr Ruth Pearce's footnotes, the Cass Review doesn't cite Gays Against Groomers directly, but rather another collection of bigots (the YouTube channel 'Thoughts and Stuff'), which has had GAG as a contributor. So, 1 step removed, but not the exact same
A1/ While that's the end of the meeting, I'm including an addendum with more points I missed:
The York SR on which the Cass Review relies had their methodology designed by a member of SEGM, and the Cass Review itself cites 'Gays Against Groomers'
