❧ Hi! We are The Coffee Collective and we go by Coffee online, they/them or ask for current pronouns, and we are a queer, alterhuman, neurodivergent & disabled mixed-origins plural system. This is our place to reblog silly posts about our interests, which include activism, queerness, neurodivergency, disability, plurality, art, writing, nature, animals, and most of all whatever (usually fictional) media we’re hyperfixated on at the moment. We don’t say much on here, but we are always happy to interact with mutuals and make new friends!
We have no DNI/anyone can interact, but we curate our own space and block liberally. We will block anyone who is bigoted in any way or has discourse stances we don't agree with (we do not participate in any discourse and try to avoid it as much as possible). We are anti capitalist, anti-censorship, anti gen ai, anti genocide, anti radqueer/transid, pro endogenic systems + all forms of plurality, and we think shipping discourse is dumb + that everyone can engage with whatever fiction they want however they want forever.
If you don’t know what a system is: text resource, video resource
For simplicity we try to tag all common triggers and such as tw [thing] or [thing] tw, sometimes both, but we don't always remember to do this.

With the whole "Markiplier making his own DVD copies of Iron Lung to sell" thing, it's been fascinating and slightly concerning how many people seem to genuinely believe that if a physical release isn't coming from a giant corporation, it must automatically be a bootleg.
Look at me.
Look me directly in the eyes while I say this.
You can just make things.
You can simply create something and put it into the world.
That's allowed.
People have been doing it for centuries.
They sell blank VHS tapes. They sell blank DVDs. Blank CDs. You can buy flash drives by the bucketful if you really want to. If you create a movie, an album, a game, a documentary, or a four-hour video essay about the mating habits of fictional space goblins, you are entirely permitted to put that thing on physical media and sell it.
That is not piracy.
Piracy is taking something that belongs to someone else and reproducing or distributing it without permission.
If I buy a DVD of a movie, I own that copy of the movie. I do not own the movie itself. I didn't acquire the rights to duplicate it, press a thousand copies, and start selling them out of my garage like I've become the regional distributor for Warner Bros.
The copyright, distribution rights, and intellectual property still belong to whoever created it or whoever legally acquired those rights.
If I start burning copies of Iron Lung and selling them myself without Markiplier's permission, that's piracy.
If Markiplier, who made and owns the rights to Iron Lung, burns copies and sells them himself, that's just distribution.
He's the rights holder.
He's distributing his own work.
If you made it, if it came from your own mind, your own work, your own time, your own resources, then congratulations. You own the thing. You don't need a corporation to bless it with legitimacy.
The corporation is not what makes it real.
The fact that it exists is what makes it real.
I think we've accidentally spent so many years living inside a world dominated by mass-produced media that some people have developed the strange assumption that all media emerges from a factory somewhere. As if films naturally occur in shrink-wrapped plastic cases and descend from the heavens aboard a pallet truck.
But independent artists have been burning discs, dubbing tapes, printing books, pressing records, and mailing things directly to people for longer than many of us have been alive.
the mexican football team has a 17 yrs old player and one of the funniest outcomes of this is that he cannot appear in any ad for gambling or drinking so he only appears in candy and milk advertisements. his first world cup and he's not even legally allowed to drive. his nickname is "morita" (little berry). he's three apples tall.

Count Binface oozes more confidence and charisma in this 52 second clip than Farage ever has in his entire life and I'm actually going to be genuinely upset if he doesn't win.

dont get me started on mordin solus's speech patterns and his refusal to use personal pronouns, most notably when discussing genophage modification, until right before he dies and for the first time starts a sentence with i. dont get me started. full accountability right at the end. no sugarcoating, no deflecting, no rambling. i made a mistake. and then he repeats it. i made a mistake. as if even he cant believe he admitted it out loud, as if it feels so foreign on his tongue. dont even start to gas me up, brenda. dont even think about mentioning that the only time he gets close to a personal pronoun in reference to the genophage is when he talks about his team, calls them "we" as a unit, never to do it again as soon as he realizes the maelon defected. shut your fucking mouth. don't do it. don't say a goddamn word about it. if you even think about discussing how mordin has depersonalized himself so much from the trauma that came with his work that it even bled into the way he talks for the rest of his life, ill fucking lose my mind.

If I open another supposedly anti AI article and it's just a fucking Pangram ad again I am going to scream. First with the Shy Girl book and now this. I can't stand it. This one is literally just telling you a huge amount of online posts on common websites are likely AI generated, only so you will use their LLM BASED AI detector browser extension!!!!!!
Pangram is just trying to use large language model AI to profit from the problem created by shoving LLMs everywhere in the first place! And you're giving them all your browsing data and feeding them every post you look at, for what?? A black box crystal ball to give you a Y/N on whether a post is AI generated, when you could read them yourself and develop your own discernment? Oh, but they pinky promise is super duper accurate. Right.
It's just an evil tech company like the rest of them. This clear marketing push is making me feel crazy
Did nobody learn anything from the downfall of Shinigami Eyes? You can't outsource your critical thinking.
Putting your trust in a machine to filter the world into good and bad is a terrible idea. Not only is that trust easily abused, that is literally the complaint the plugin is claiming to address.
Trust your own ability to do research. Trust yourself to recognise the value (or lack thereof) in someone else's work. Trust yourself to discern someone's meaning by holding their words against your understanding of the world.
Trust yourself.
Not only are you going to get fooled by AI, you almost certainly already have been. What will you do with that now? What will you create with it? Will you check your sources more carefully? Will you write a story about it? Will you take that betrayal and turn it into something positive?
