DUR HUR THESE PIRATES (they're not pirates, they're treasure hunters & thrill seekers but that's for another day) DON'T STEAL ANYTHING DUR HUR WHERE ARE MY MORALLY GRAY SHIT

I'm sorry but are you kidding me??????

Are you actively trying to misread shit? Like ACTIVELY? Also I really hope ya'll aren't the same folks who got mad about cultural disrespect in the DA games & now are mad that they added in some sensitivity????? OOPS the grey wardens got the morally grey treatment in DAI & this game and we're all mad, but we want morally grey shit?

Look, if we're dunking jokingly that's fine, I'll chuckle along too, but like people are ACTUIVELY upset at this stuff and are wanting to "rewrite" the game to make it "better" and it's like okay calm down. Take a breath. If the game isn't clicking for you, you don't have to play it.

Or at least tag your mopey takes like good LORD. *insert game here* critical is RIGHT THERE.

ALSO equating "morally grey" to like "why aren't my favs racist, sexist, homophobic, and culturally insensitive like they USED TO BE" jesus christ think about what you're saying.

So I stumbled across THIS atrocity at the bookstore yesterday when I was looking for actually USEFUL books.

So a couple things. A: the image on the cover, As we might expect, the hand is fucked up, What is going on with the jacket sleeve, who knows, just at a glance.

B: Wasn't the whole point of this garbage to make it so ANYONE could do it? Why are they selling you a book that teaches you how to write prompts? Doesn't that defeat the entire purpose, having to spend money and time to learn how to do it?

C: Again, back to that picture "no really, buy this book, and learn how to draw a hand with 3 and...a half? fingers! Clothing that makes no sense!

And then, of course, you realize what the trick is, it's like all the other snake oil situations "don't go to the doctor, buy my all natural organic $50 shit drink that'll cure you!" "it's a problem that you can't own digital art, here are these NFTs that'll solve this problem I JUST MADE UP and now you can pay to solve that solution!" Just now it's "art is elitist and out of reach, but now there's 'AI" so how you win is to buy this book I made to teach you how to get better at using MY program that I made to solve a problem that DIDN'T EXIST"

The assumption that all atheists are people who’ve “never touched a religious text in their life” basically says to me you have a specific view of atheists and have probably not known many.

Most of them grew up IN the system and DO know the text and THAT’S why they walk away. 

If you’re gonna make a whole post on ppl not using nuance with CR stuff right now the least you can do is use nuance yourself and not paint an entire group of people with a brush that TV taught you, or a bunch of white men into power *cough* Dawkins *cough* coopted a movement in a society where to not believe in god is synonymous with being immoral.

So just keep in mind, the representation of people without faith that you see on TV or twitter isn’t the majority and 9 times out of 10 isn’t correct at all.
