YOUR BRUTALIST REBUKE OF CONSUMER CAPITALISM, THAT BOTH REJECTS AND EMBRACES THE INSINCERITY OF THE BRAND AT ITS ESSENCE BY IMPOSING A TEMPTING YET ULTIMATELY UNWELCOME EXPERIENCE OF "FAST FOOD," WHICH IS TO SAY FOOD THAT FLEES YOUR OWN MEMORY BEFORE YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE TO CONSUME IT (FOR NO INDIVIDUAL HAPPY MEAL CAN BE SO HAPPY AS TO DWELL UPON IT IN FUTURE DAYS, SHOULD YOU BE SO UNLUCKY AS TO EXPERIENCE SUCH A VANTAGE POINT), CANNOT SAVE YOU

Folks, remember Daxiong’s DC variants he with with AI? DC quietly confirmed he did use AI, they cancelled the variants, and replaced them with cover art made by actual artists

I found a few small sources confirming this, along with the new covers created by actual artists

Wonder Woman #10: Daxiong —> Dan Panosian

Shazam #12: Daxiong —> Cully Hamner

Power Girl #10: Daxiong —> Dave Johnson

I’m glad DC cancelled the original covers. It’s not worth buying art of any kind if no one spent the time to actually make them. These new variants being made by actual artists are a million times better for that reason alone, that real human artists put their time into making them, and not AI stealing from what has already been created.

and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?

No offence but I feel like some people got a little too comfortable with telling people to touch grass and swung all the way round to just straight up shaming anyone who might have a less active social life than them to feel better about themselves. “She should be at the club” was a really funny meme until people started acting like fucking middle school bullies towards people who don’t go out with their friends a lot. All those drinking/drugs/sex milestone polls were fun to engage with until it became a wierd circlejerk making fun of people who haven’t done those things before. People on twitter are once again dogpiling someone for wanting queer social spaces that don’t revolve around alcohol or loud music and telling them it’s their own fault for not having friends.

Like I get that nightclubs and sex have strong ties to queer culture and are often the first targets in the hellscape of respectability politics. It’s important we remember our roots and protect these spaces from conservative scrutiny. I mean that. They are important. But just on a surface level it seems like people are starting to see having an inactive social life as some kind of moral failing which…it’s not. I feel like an insane person for feeling like I have to say this on the fucking queer autism website but like. You aren’t inherently a bad person if you don’t have friends. You aren’t “falling behind” if you haven’t had your first kiss in your 20s or never done drugs. The real world isn’t a movie. And if you see someone who doesn’t go out much and instinctually think “wow what a terminally online loser. I bet their social life sucks because they’re a sheltered creep and not because of systemic barriers beyond their control” you need to have a long hard look at why you feel that way.

There are very real barriers that prevent isolated people from finding community and connection. Do you think you’re superior for being able to breach them? Time, money, sobriety, accessibility, none of those factors were a problem for you, so it shouldn’t be for them, right? Right?

it is so jarring and weird when a fantasy book is like “ok let’s go around the circle and have each character talk about which lgbt umbrella category they identify with” like ok your fantasy world doesn’t have to be feudal europe but can it not be 2023 twitter please
