I only jerk it to ai images I feel guilty about jacking to art someone drew cause I can feel their souls
#Hi so as someone who's around a lot of NSFW communities and spaces I actually have a lot to say about this that's kinda funny/interesting#so first off you're kind of correct but you miss the mark as to the reasons why necessarily#Basically from what I understand it's closer to the idea that porn even drawn or animated porn is an act of labor for the exchange of money#rather than for the love of the game so to speak. There's at least a small group of people I'm currently aware of who believe that this is#exploitation of the animators; actors; or artists in question. Seeing the work as being generally a jail they've become locked in and can't#escape from because ''it's what makes money'' they believe that artists and animators don't have a choice in the matter; that I'd rather#create other works but am forced to create NSFW art and such in order to make money#In reality it's not exploitation or whatever it's just another job like yes it sells and it makes decent money a lot faster than if I#tried to do SFW animations and art (believe me I've tried before; commissioned dried up quick) but it's not degrading work or whatever#the only degrading thing about it is this weird stigma surrounding sex workers and adult entertainment as something lesser or a lack of a#choice being involved. Which is dumb and people need to drop the fucking stigma but that's kinda unrelated#the thing is they feel guilty engaging with NSFW material that is the product of another person's labor#because they believe in doing so they're exploiting the person for personal satisfaction#and in their eyes this is wrong; AI however isn't a person and doesn't require human labor#at least not in their eyes. In reality it absolutely still does because it needs a product to learn from but I digress#I can see just enough of their bullshit logic to ''get'' where they're coming from#but it gets worse. A good few of these folks also admitted that they disliked real life pornography#so this doesn't apply to animations or art but rather real people; now if you think it's for any moral reasons... well no#it's because they get jealous more or less; they dislike seeing someone they're attracted to being fucked by someone that's not them#the solution? What if that person wasn't real? What if they didn't even exist? They're unfuckable#but they're still a pretty face to look at so the end result is the same in the end for the consumer.#It's this double pronged sword of morality and personal envy/jealousy towards those working in the field; the irony is not lost on me#and a lot of this does kinda tie into sexism and objectification of women which I won't get into a lot here because I'm limited on#characters per tag and overall tags so like I gotta keep it somewhat to the point.#But yea congrats this is more or less actually correct. You nailed it.

Being the only bi cis guy amongst almost exclusively trans friends and peers is wild because in theory its like im living in a horny manga where all of a dudes friends turn into hot babes, but in reality they are hunting me like the last bison on the prairie. 5 years ago I mentioned bionicle and one of them asked when I was starting estrogen.

Okay, so I'm actually going to treat the "Disco Elysium but it's a young witch in the alps" tweet as if a friend was saying this to me over a casual chat about video games
Tumblr media
I don't know if a game could do that, Rosa. By narrative system, I'm assuming you mean the stat system where the main character's skills talk to them and give them feedback on the world, each expressed through colorful dialogue that reflects the player character's internal machinations. But that system isn't just mechanics — it's a part of the diegetic storytelling of the game itself. You can't make multiple personalities talking to the player character as compelling as Disco Elysium if, say, it wasn't a reflection of the player character's mental illness(es), their background as a divorced detective trained in police brutality and intimidation, and their deep and conflicting bonds with a war-torn, racist, colonized country.
If the PC wasn't immersed in any of those and you replaced him with a well-adjusted witch with no historical or social background living in a generic pastoral setting, the stat system feedback wouldn't be any different from a regular, albeit maybe a bit quirky, video game narrator.
You'd have to make the witch and that village in the alps all sorts of complex and tangled up for the "narrative system" to manifest similarly to Disco Elysium. And judging from the image you showed me, that girl doesn't look like she has even one personality rattling in her head.

I love Stardew Valley, it's such a comfortable game to play, but the plot feels a little light at times. I bet it would be more compelling if the farmer had amnesia, crippling substance dependence and was suffering so much mental degradation that he thought his clothes were speaking to him.
