you are so valid. your ships are so valid. your f/o loves you like you have no idea.

even if they're your brother or your mother figure, or they're much younger or much older than you. even if you can't be together for whatever reason.

THEY LOVE YOU! 🩷

hey selfship community. i'm hoping to make this brief, but there's not much chance of that.

basically, i'm on my hands and knees begging you to stop using character AI. i understand if you feel enjoyment from it. ive used it too, i liked it, it helped me feel comforted when i needed the comfort. but with the news of googles updated privacy policy, and how peoples writings are being scraped from ao3, google docs, literally anywhere and everywhere to train AI, among dozens of other things...

...you're kinda feeding the beast. like a lot. you're giving it fuel. you're adding to how it can mimic people's real writing. you're giving this technology a way to grow better and stronger off of other people's work. i don't think you're a monster for ignorance, but i think with how serious shit is getting with AI and how it's being trained off of peoples work - with no compensation or notice - it's just, at this point, a blatant disregard for how writers and creators are being treated right now. 

we're being treated as expendable. we're being treated as though our work means nothing, while everything we've ever made is stolen behind our backs by unfeeling machines fed by corporations who are more than willing to murder our creative pursuits if it means more cash in their pockets. not to get dramatic about it, but that's the fucking fact of the matter.

so, please. stop using character AI. chat AI. you're helping train it. and doing so is going to have wide-reaching consequences.

your villain/yandere!f/o kissing you on the forehead. their arms are tight around you, keeping you close and snug for cuddles, but also trapped in case you ever think of escaping.

―goodnight. love you,― they'd whisper, knowing tomorrow you'll wake up next to them even if you don't want to. and the day after that. and the day after that. and the day after that. and the day after that...

f/o who you latched onto during a time in your life you were struggling so it feels like they really did help you through that

Look, I get that getting less attention than some others is frustrating, but some people here have insane expectations when it comes to gaining other people's attention and energy.

A person who makes hyperspecific posts about their f/o only and who vents/asks for sympathy a lot on their blog will get a little attention at first, but people are going to get tired of spending their energy on them when it doesn't seem to make any difference and the person is back in crisis mode again days later. Contrast this to the person who puts out regular posts that a lot of people can enjoy and relate to, and who seeks very little emotional support from their followers - they're obviously more fun to be around.

Is it "fair"? No! But it's how social relationships with strangers work. Compassion fatigue is very real, even in the sweetest, most well meaning of individuals. We're all here to escape from something in our real lives and indulge in fantasy, and it's not fair or practical to anyone to expect the community to do heavy emotional lifting for us. I've seen people complain that the community isn't a community any more, but I think it's fine. We're here to share f/o content and giggle over fictional characters together, not to provide 24/7 validation to strangers who happen to have f/os too.

It's fine if you expect serious support from f/o tumblr, but understand that that's not what some of us are here for. Expecting high levels of attention when you're self ship blog #357 to most people is just setting yourself up for disappointment and failure. I log in, I blast a few posts that remind me of my blorbo, and I log out again, quite happy to be self ship blog #358 with 20 followers.
