#It's enraging

[patience-knowledge-focus]

My new favorite syscourse stance: let's label ourselves as one thing, then post content that proves we actually have the exact opposite opinion, and when anyone complains, fall back on the label.

That's hilarious.

You're not "pro" anything when your entire argument is that the thing might exist, but all information about it is "misinformation" or "harmful simply for existing." Fucking over endogenic systems while believing they exist isn't pro-fucking-anything.

There's a word for that: it's "hypocrisy".

(And watch someone complain that I'm misusing the word "hypocrisy.")

Added by April:

I would extend the kindness that opinions change, that we can only live within the confines of our knowledge, and new information is hard to gather in an echo chamber.

i'll let phie-san say it:

every single palestinian deserves life ! every single palestinian deserves rights ! every single palestinian is a victim ! every age and every gender ! they don't need to be the perfect victim to prove they're victims they don't need to be a child for you to be mad and sad about their oppression, pain and death. thinking only about the children because they're the "innocent" ones is so dehumanizing.

Normalize letting trans kids live.

Every trans child on this planet deserves to be safe & supported.

Saw my first post with someone admitting they used chatGPT to ‘write a fic’ which they then shared here on tumblr and on Ao3.

To be clear, using AI to churn out a piece of fiction is not writing.

Using a bot (possibly one that was trained using a scrape of Ao3, that is to say, the theft of work from every writer who has posted their work on Ao3) is NOT WRITING.

It is theft. It isn’t creation. It’s a regurgitation of the consumed collective work and effort and heart and time of every writer who has shared their work on Ao3.

‘I’m not a good writer’ is no excuse.

Want to be a writer? Put in the time everyone else does to practice.

Don’t feel confident in your work? Open yourself up to the same vulnerability and risk that the rest of us do.

You don’t get to use a fucking bot to vomit out an approximation of a story and pretend you’ve got skin in the game.

The sad thing? This bot-assembled fic wasn’t bad. It was bland, but it had internal logic, some passing context to character and canon. It wasn’t like those early AI art pieces that had surreal compositions and extra fingers. It wasn’t immediately obvious it was made by a bot.

In this instance the person who posted it admitted they had used a bot. Which, actually, I have some respect for. But it probably isn’t the first and it won’t be the last.

I don’t know that there’s a solution to this, but it is both hurting my heart and enraging me.

Genuinely, and I mean this kindly, but learning to recognize bait and not engaging with it will change your fandom experience.

I freaking love The Great British Bake Off and I adore Good Omens (plus that whole thing with Michael Sheen peeling an onion with a potato peeler.)

So this is my “Aziraphale loses his mind over The Great British Bake Off and Everything Ends Up Terrible Like His Biscuits” series.

Ohhh, I'm rereading Mystra's entry in the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide... and this detail:

This means Gale was punished for trying to restore and preserve what he thought was a lost piece of Mystra's magic. Gale being Mystra's ex-lover put aside. He as her follower, she his goddess, was punished for attempting to do the one foundational rule of her faith.

I'm seething and so sad at the same time.

Edit: I used the word punish loosely, as in, toxic/abusive people will take any small mistake or action and twist it into something they can take advantage of. This post was also largely from the stand point of a toxic deity rather than a toxic partner, but both takes are valid here. Especially with the, “you didn’t stay compliant so now I’m giving you the silent treatment” part of it—from a god and a partner perspective.
