So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into.

And there is a sound in the calm Someone is coming to harm I press my hands to my ears It's easier here just to forget fear

And when I squinted, the world seemed rose-tinted And angels appeared to descend To my surprise, with half-closed eyes Things looked even better than when they were opened

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
