being a predator fan is so funny. you’ve got maybe four good movies out of seven-ish, but that depends on who you ask. the fandom is about the size of a rural town in idaho and most of those fans want to fuck the monsters. the storyline of your crossover movies is basically “what if we watched a big scary monster beat the shit out of a bigger, scarier monster”. they’re also our babies and we love them. one of the more popular forms of fan debate is powerscaling but actually funny. the second to last movie in the series had “autism is an evolutionary superpower” as an actual plot point. said movie was genuinely so fucking bad that it killed the franchise for a few years until it came back with a great movie and an upcoming spin-off film + tv show- mirroring jesus being crucified for his sins and then resurrecting after three days. you’re also Technically a sister series to a franchise that’s way more culturally relevant and popular to the point it’s comedic

AI, Chatbots, and HTP

Hey ya'll, Earndil here, but you probably could have guessed that already based on many things.

I've seen some stuff courtesy of the Hunter the Parenting Subreddit, and things people have brought to my attention, and though I have made my thoughts on the matter apparent before in some form, I figured I'd give a clear statement on the matter:

With the advent of AI, Chatbots, and exploitative programs that are fed hard work from creatives in our industry, to churn out gray, palatable slop for easy and convenient consumption, it's become apparent to me that some people in our sphere, be they fans or detractors, have begun to use them with our works as well.

I'm not going to speak on the intent of such things, as that's not a battle I'm here to fight. What I can say, is that we here at Ogre Poppenang heavily disapprove of the use of generative AI for creative purposes broadly. We do not want our hard work being fed into a machine to sate the needs or desires of people who are, in my opinion, extremely impatient, or so demanding of instant gratification that they do not care whose toes they step on to get it.

Perhaps it's merely a harmless, fiery passion to interact with our characters, perhaps it's something else, but in any case of it, we disapprove, and are highly disappointed whenever we see it. I have no specific people to call attention to, nor would I, as that is the kind of low-brow dogpiling I disapprove of just as much, but I want it to show in the record, at least here, that we do not want this in our world.

We are working diligently at producing hand-made, effortful media, for everyone, for free, and these kinds of things are extremely disheartening to see. If you see this, and have created a chatbot or other such thing using ChatGPT, or whatever the hell it is going as now, I implore you to do away with it.

Our work is not yours to steal and repurpose in this way.

Thanks for your time, take care.

Still not over how awkward II was in the beginning of drumeo before he started actually talking to us

He's trying so hard not to fidget, bless him. The way he keeps looking around at everything, the tiny little smile when the camera zooms in on him 🥺

"Sam, I want to go home."

“Oh boo hoo you shouldn’t ask your friends for favors we’re all adults”

I just spent three hours pulling up carpet and staples for a friend’s home renovation and we all did nothing but chat and joke and have wonderful conversation the whole time.

Helping somebody move or renovate or giving them a ride to the airport is functionally the same as going mini-golfing or playing a board game: it’s an activity that you do that is made more fun by having good company, and which provides something to talk about when the conversation lulls.

I hate the sound of babies crying, but I can't hate a baby. They've been here for like five minutes and approach this situation with an unhesitant attitude of "my needs are unmet and I am going to make it everybody's problem", and I respect that.
