Crying, screaming, and throwing up over baby clones that got abandoned by their brothers 😭

it is so frustrating how little people can think into the future, especially when it comes to ai 'art'

what happens when the creative process is so assisted by ai, that young artists don't feel the need to pick up a pencil anymore?

art everywhere deteriorates as a whole, because no one needs to learn basic fundamentals. artists won't even see the mistakes ai makes at some point, and won't be able to correct them. this will be felt in every media, because art is in everything. even if you're not a artist and can't explain what is 'off' with the art in games, movies, etc, you WILL still feel it.

what happens when less, and less, and less people are allowed to make a living through human art, because whole teams of artists are replaced with one artist + an ai tool, and less people see the need to buy lesser skill art from artists just starting their journey, when it can just be generated?

eventually, the only ones making actual human art to the degree that they're able live off of it are the rich, because artist jobs will be so scarce, and artists just starting out won't get nearly as much income unless they use ai to boost their finished pieces(not their skills btw), so human art as a full time job will be HEAVILY skewed to the most privileged people in society.

God, Generator Rex just kills me sometimes. This one scene from Six Minus Six just hits me right in my emotions every time I can't stop thinking about it. The closest Rex comes in canon to explicitly calling Six his dad and it's when he can't remember him and is actively trying to kill him. "I'm not your parent, kid." "You're close enough." The way Six visibly hesitates before attacking him again. The way Rex has so much faith in Six even when he's about to drive a sword into his chest. I'm never getting over this ever.

THE FOUND FAMILY OF IT ALL

THE LEARNING TO BE LOVED OF IT ALL

i can't. i'm gonna give the first three a proper reread (which isn't explicitly necessary to read this but you will be confused to all hell if you go in blind, but you could probably get by), and then read this bad boy again. and again probably, so if you don't see me for the next month you can assume i'm doing this.

Now that we’ve made it here, I just want to say that season 4 episode of Spencer and Liv suddenly not having anything to talk about came out of nowhere and Liv’s outfit at the end of that episode was horrendous!!

[reddragon-cowboy]

I love writing Spike with his gun. It’s like… his emotional support animal (just joking eheheh). But his Jericho 941 is customized and his baby.

I stopped liking Elriel as a ship because every post I see is basically “HEY YOU THIS IS CANON DO YOU SEE IT CANON STOP BEING DELULU STOP THINKING ELUCIEN WILL HAPPEN”

Like I literally just got here fandom wise and wanted some cute fics and art. Why are you yelling at me?

Also. For all you know I want Elain to get dicked down by Rhys in the back room at Rita’s like this is FANdom, anything goes. Shit doesn’t have to be canon for you to like it.

And some Elucien posts are like that too, I just see more Elriel ones that rub me the wrong way.

Anyways I do like Elriel somewhat. I just have an onion about it.

Yes we've all heard aroace people complain about the 'you haven't met the right person' line. But to the idiots citing this as the reason aroace people 'aren't oppressed’: No, micro aggressions aren't what's oppressing us.

I could talk about corrective rape, but I'm not going to because that's not what scares me the most. The worst thing about being aroace (aromantic, and asexual to a certain extent) is that society is set up for couples.

Being aromantic is a crushing economic disadvantage. As a couple, you can save more. As a legal couple, you can borrow more. This puts Mortgages out of reach for a lot of aromantics. Adopting too. Although aro people can adopt, you must have a similar income to a couple, which again, rules out a lot of aros. Don't forget Immigration, spousal visas will never be an option for us.

Being poor and aro means you're denied housing, family, international movement, basically anything that allos of a similar income would get. And anything you can get, you'll have to jump through many more hoops for. But we can't fix this by legalising aro marriage, like we did for the gays. Until our society's economic system is completely revolutionised, we'll be waiting.

It's impossible to compare oppression. You can't objectively say which minority group has it worse and I really mean that. But also I'd rather be called slurs and hated by Christians all fucking day.

Just Say You’re Racist

Yes, this is about the Little Mermaid. I’m angry, I’m disappointed, and I’m done.

The people hating on the Little Mermaid are racist. No, you don’t get to defend yourself. In the first place, a person doesn’t get to decide if they’re racist or not. You have no way of objectively analyzing your own biases, so you have no way of knowing unless the people being discriminated against tell you that you’re biased.

I’m black. And you’re racist.

Now, I understand that people that have seen the movie could have been genuinely disappointed by it. It might not be up to the standards of everyone. That much is true. But be honest with yourself.

“Why’d they have to make her black?” Why does she have to be white? What does the single change add to your viewing experience? Does it make the movie better? Does it change the quality of the CGI? Does it make the script more entertaining? What does it change other than making the movie satisfy your delicate sensibilities?

Nothing. Making Ariel white changes nothing about the quality of the film itself. But Halle Bailey was chosen and cast as Ariel because of her singing ability. So, at the very least, having a black actor meant the songs could be sung by a good singer that matched the director’s vision for Ariel.

What’s wrong with that? If there was someone better, they would have been cast.

“Well, Ariel is historically white. She was white in the animated movie.” Ariel is a fish. She lives in the ocean. She isn’t *real*. Saying that Ariel should be white because she was once depicted that way is like saying Mickey Mouse’s shorts should be white instead of red because that’s how it was in the old cartoons. There’s a reason his shorts were white. Film was in black and white back then. Ariel was white because no one wanted to show black people on TV.

Our media progresses with our society. If you’re not ready for Ariel to be black, then maybe you haven’t progressed with us.

“I watched Black Panther and Get Out and [insert movie with black protagonist here], so I can’t be racist.” Okay, really? Do you hear yourself? This is literally “but I have black friends” for movies.

Liking black media does not mean you like black people. It does not erase your biases. It does not redeem your discrimination. You can like Black Panther and be racist. You can have black friends and be racist. You can be *BLACK* and be racist. Being racist or not isn’t about getting good boy gold stars for liking things made by us. It’s about how you treat us as lesser; as something not meant to be seen like we are still slaves on a plantation.

“Well, if Black Panther was cast as a white guy, it would be racist. How is this okay, but that isn’t?” I’m going to explain this very slowly and very clearly.

Black-Americans have been robbed. We have had our entire history, our entire culture, *stolen* from us. We have had to rebuild it all on our own, all while fighting through prosecution and injustice and *fear*.

Can you imagine what that’s like? Everyone else has traditions and heritage and folklore. And we don’t. All we have is a history of abuse. And the worst part is that we are aliens in our own land. Whether you speak of Africa, or Europe, or Asia, or America, black people are foreign. We are strangers. We’re never one of you. You think I could show up in Ghana and that they would claim me? No, because I’m not African. I’m Black. There’s a difference and we are not welcome.

You have everything we have ever wanted because you *stole* what was ours. Do you think this is the first time this has happened? Do you think you’re special? The only thing you’re doing is maintaining yet another tradition. First, you stole our people. Then, you stole our labor. Then, you stole our rights. And all the while, you’ve been stealing our lives. Now, you want to steal the miniscule amount of representation we have clawed and screamed and *died* to get.

You wanna know why making Black Panther white is racist and making Ariel black isn’t?

Because you are stealing from a culture that already has nothing. Because we have begged and begged and begged to be represented and you have never once lacked characters that looked like you. You are rich and we are poor. And for *once*, Disney is stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.

Oh, but that’s wrong, right? Funny how no one ever said that about Robin Hood.

And I could go on, because you definitely have, but I won’t. I’ve proved my point. If you are fighting this change so vehemently as to continue to argue with me and advocate for a white Ariel after all this, you are living proof that I’m right. Because if you’re not racist, why does her race matter so much to you?
