this too shall pass but the fuck was that for
No matter how progressive or well-read you are, there are always going to be moments in your life where somebody pushes back against something that's so culturally ingrained you never even considered it before. And you'll say "Huh, it never occurred to me to challenge this but you're right" and that doesn't mean you were "morally toxic" before, it means you're a non-omniscient human capable of growth.
and sometimes the answer isn't always "huh you're right" sometimes it's "huh i didn't realize this is a facet of culture and that its different between groups of people, and those different ways of doing and seeing things are actually legitimate and ok"
Also sometimes your first response won’t be “huh you’re right” it’ll be “no that can’t be” and you won’t want to change and won’t like that something or someone pushed back on something you think is obvious until later when you learn more or think about it in a different headspace and realize you were wrong. That’s not ideal but it’s part of growth and human nature. It’s ok if you took time to get there—you learned and grew and didn’t stay stagnant, and you can learn from the experience so that you can continue to learn and grow better in the future. Dwelling on the same will keep you stuck in the past, when you could use it to make the future better instead.
In future situations, "I need some time to think about that" or when relevant "can you explain that a bit more?" are both better answers than “no that can’t be”.
And you are still allowed to eventually come to the conclusion that actually, this thing isn't true. But take the time to think it through first.
listen, okay, i get what you’re saying but the hunger games are REALLY important for the country’s economy. they generate more revenue in just a few weeks than all of the districts do in like, six entire months. AND they’re an integral part of our culture. not just the capitol! the districts rely on the games too. we can’t just ABOLISH them. that’s CRAZY. but of course i support trans rights! they should have the right to put their names in and showcase their courage and bravery as their PREFERRED gender. but it’s funny you brought that up because i’m actually starting a petition to introduce a nonbinary category as well! tributes shouldn’t be required to align with arbitrary sex characteristics in order to compete. i mean, it’s 2316! i know the districts aren’t as advanced as we are here in the capitol, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be encouraging gender diversity. i’ll take the signatures to the city offices once i have enough. honestly, i have high hopes! the local lgbt community is sure to support it. plus, i mean, why would anyone be against it, really? just think! we could have THREE tributes from each district instead of just two. imagine the economical impact of twelve extra tributes every year! wouldn’t that be something! what do you think? will you sign?

i really hate 'power of love' stories not because i'm a jaded cynic or whatever but because i always find something deeply offputting and misanthropic in how they are almost always set up in a way that implies that the protagonist is the only person in the world capable of love
for your story to hinge on "our protagonist's love is powerful enough to conquer all the evils of the world" you kind of have to implicitly make the backdrop "everyone else's love is garbage, just trash, philosophical zombies the lot of them"

I love fat people and hate fascism

we used to get christmas episodes of television. halloween episodes. valentines. we used to get television that felt like part of your life. like it was happening alongside your life. now we mostly get 8 episodes dropping all at once every two years and they don't have time for any of that. i miss characters living alongside us
it's really funny how the entire world basically just blew the fuck up six short years ago and nobody wants to admit that that may have had some lasting consequences lmao
like so much of Everything today is premised on the idea that the earth-shattering catastrophe which happened within living memory of everyone older than a third grader has had no meaningful material or psychological effects on the general public and i don't think that's good, lol.
"(some of) the top-line economic indicators (sorta) recovered (in most places) so everything is fine and we don't need to talk about it" is not a sustainable framework for interfacing with reality
"why is everyone so angry and paranoid now?" "why is politics so dysfunctional now?" "why is [x] [y] and [z] now? blah blah blah"

After the recent scrape of Ao3 I feel like now is a good time to say a few things

The concept that "disabled artists using AI" is even a major disabled or artist community discourse is so funny.
It just isn't a conversation any disabled artists or disabled people who would like to become artists is having. It was for like fifteen minutes, the concensus was an extremely loud and obvious "fuck off," and that was that. I don't know why AI dorks are holding on to this one.
Broadly, people who need assistive devices, prosthesis and so on know the difference between doing something for themselves using a tool, and having something done for them. Of course we understand that AI art is no more "making art" than ordering something off Ubereats is "making a sandwich."
Yet I shit you not, if you spend time among AI art gremlins, you will run into people desperate to make up stories about people with neuropathy, an amputation, or an intellectual disability (it's always these three, have you noticed?) proudly printing out and pinning their AI generated art to the fridge.
Earlier tonight I saw someone claim that famous comic book artist Earl Norm, who retired from professional work in 2005 due to his arthritis, would've surely continued working in the industry if only he had access to fucking Bing Image Generator.
This dorklord attached some Norm art claiming it "looks AI anyway."
Mate, if it "looks AI" at all, it's because AI models have consumed everything this bloke made during his career and can now create hollow replicas. My point being, they'll insult disabled artists while claiming their goonish computer has made the world easier for us.
Now, I don't like the rosey image of all disabled people "overcoming" their disabilities to become painters and the like if we want to, that's simply not the case. In fact, systemic ableism will characterize artwork by disabled artists differently, as inferior or lacking intention or as a dramatic insight into a shattered mind.
The far more compelling thing one could do to accommodate disabled art is not to create tools that "enable" us by doing the whole thing for us, but to destigmatize disabled art, and allow it to be assessed honestly on its own merits instead of as a part of some inspiration porn or similar narrative.
But the idea that disabled people, artists and disabled artists writ large are even having this conversation is so childish and bespeaks an outsider who wants to use us as an ideological or rhetorical tool to, what, sell a stupid plagiarism device to normies? As if we haven't seen "new technology marketed using disabled people as a mascot" before?
"so you think a careless crayon scribble on a piece of paper made by a human is worth more than the most beautiful of masterpieces made by an ai—" Yeah I do actually
