immature techno-geek with moral autism

People have said the tag is unique to Claude only and therefore there’s no way a human-made fic could have gotten wrongly flagged as AI. But how accurate and trustworthy worthy this is, really? Even IF, hypothetically, this method is proved correct 99 times out of 100, that still means “there is 1 time out of 100 times where a human-made fic is wrongly flagged as AI due to an error”. And that to me nullified the credibility of the whole doc. Like, sorry for not trusting another newly-introduced machine and for being skeptical about it.

“But how could the tag get there if the author didn’t use AI?” Besides the possibility of an error, I can already see people weaponize this method by faking screenshots of fics that are about the ships or topics that they hate to make it look like these fics have Claude tag in them, and then spreading those fake screenshots around. And the worst part is that authors cannot prove their innocence because people would just say “they got caught so now they removed the Claude tag from their fics”.

Like. I hate AI, but I hate witch hunts, accusations and harassments more.

These comments below sum it up really well.

shave your body hair to reduce your natural insulation

try wearing a skirt for maximum breeziness

gosh your writing is incredible! it's supplanted The Waves Arisen as my all time favorite Naruto fanfic, I'll never see Sakura the same again

reading this just fills me with fire for life! what would Sakura do? work so goddamn hard and utterly destroy this challenge!!

thank you so much for writing it

If you want a crust for it, there are some gluten free vegan pie crusts for sale, though the ones I've tried are crumbly messes. You could also try adapting the cookie and butter crust in this KinniTOOS ice cream cake recipe. It was pretty sturdy in an ice cream cake I made. (I did microwave the cookies a bit, which might have helped. And yes, it calls for dairy butter, but I would expect vegan butter to also work.)

That said, speaking as someone who's in an address protection program because a group of radical vegans willing to commit murder have grudges against people I live with, and is possibly permanently shorter due to being raised on a vegetarian diet without adequate iron level monitoring: I think the backlash to veganism has some sensible context.

(I am trying to make my immediate reaction to veganism discussion be less "you need to clarify that you're against murdering me" and more "you need to hear about my favorite tofu recipe", but it's a work in progress.)

To respond to some tags:

#really feels like the disproportionate reaction to animal welfare stances is like #30% propaganda #40% feelings of moral inadequacy #20% overgeneralizing from PETA #10% other

Some people's reactions are based on the murderers who say things like this:

When I was younger and the world seemed brighter, I was proud of the handful of people I’d convinced to be vegan through arguing philosophy of ethics. Now I’m proud of the number of people who have gone vegan because they are afraid of me.

#and the definition of veganism is to reduce as much as practically possible. no one is asking indigenous people in the yukon to stop fishing #no one is asking you to stop taking your medication if it has animal products in it

I have encountered an argument on this website, by someone who also reblogged OP, that Impossible burgers aren't really vegan because they did animal testing on their synthetic heme. (OK, the argument is the poster linking to their non-tumblr post, but still.) Vegans also often argue that people should put potentially-futile effort into making vegan iron supplements bioavailable, instead of tolerating heme iron supplements that don't require this effort and which appear to be byproducts of animal agriculture. (Frankly, we could have vegan heme on the shelves today if Impossible Foods decided to start selling it outside of pricey burgers – they have FDA approval for their heme.)

#the blind frothing rage people direct towards vegans is entirely out of proportion #with the actual power they have in real life politics

I agree that vegans have very little legal sway. I think at least some of the blind frothing rage is based not on vegans' legal political actions but rather on their illegal and sometimes murderous vigilantism.

#some of them actually believe we've somehow conspired to give lone star ticks that meat allergy disease

also i have been lead to understand some modern art is good IF you see it in a museum but is garbage if you see a photo of it on the internet because the camera sucks at capturing its virtues. the solution is to stop showing photos of that art on the internet unless

a) you're posting photos of every single painting you own or every single painting an artist did or something
