Yeah the people treating this like it's not a big deal boggle me. It doesn't matter if it's a "good use" of AI, ANY use of AI normalizes it and enables corporations to continue to push the BAD stuff on us. It needs to all be abolished.

But I guess it's okay because "the good guys" are using it.

And if you support the proliferation of technology that can be used to lie and deceive an innocent woman who just wants to see a cute deer video and share that joy with her son, go fuck yourself. Burn.

I'm looking at you, Larian. AI for reference material isn't so bad, but we CANNOT allow this shit to be normalized. In. Any. Fucking. Way. Let it all burn for the sake of creativity, critical thought, the truth, and the entirety of humanity.

Are there good uses for AI? Sure! But here's the important thing: the potential ways that someone can use AI maliciously far outweigh the benefits. If you support this shit in ANY capacity, you are enabling corporations to continue pushing its destructive tendencies on us.

For real. Like, people praise e621 for its extensive tagging, but I still can't go there without being flashbanged because people have literal sex scenes as avatars. How can someone not understand people won't appreciate that?

Frankly it kind of makes me scared to share any kind of opinion anywhere about the state of society if "nobody should be the target of bigotry for their gender or race" is a hot take.

And again, that's NOT me trying to downplay what women go through. I'm not saying they're equivalent issues. But to claim that men essentially can't be victims of bigotry and that prejudice against a whole 50% of the population can't exist is, y'know... misandrist?

The thing about saying something like "hatred against men doesn't exist" is that it's dangerous because that normalizes that behaviour, and tells people that hating men for existing is *okay*. It's not. That's not cool.

But also, like, misandry, as a thing in general? Come on, guys. We live in a world of 8 billion people. Of course there are going to be people who are prejudiced against men simply for the crime of *being* men. It's a word with a definition. Why wouldn't it happen?

And I ALSO recognize that there are absolutely bad actors who see women complaining about horrors they've faced and want a slice of the victim pie because they're deeply misogynistic themselves and want to cry misandry as a shield to abstain them from any poor behaviour they make.

We live in a society founded on patriarchy that ridicules women and is deeply infused with misogyny. They are not the same beast. I am a man, and because of that, I'm privileged.

And for the record I'm not like, preaching super hard about that. I'm not pretending that I'm a victim and that I face discrimination that has ruined or otherwise hampered my every day life to the extent of vulnerable minorities.

Yes, this was the implied subtext when I said my feed said "actually that's not okay still". But I didn't know that when the question was posed to me.

even better!
