invalid human extension

at the end of the day it's about entitlement. AI for fanwork, getting mad at not getting a smuch content as you want, that's all entitlement. they have no respect for the artists and writers who put that piece of media in front of them in the first place. they don't even register it as having even been made by another person.

look at me. every brushstroke in every artwork you've ever seen was made on purpose, one by one, with intention, by someone who spent hours on it. none of it sprouted on trees. Imitating it with a machine because you want more is flat out disrespectful. It shows that you don't really care about the work, you just want to see those specific visuals no matter what. You're like a baby being shown sensory videos.

liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno

you inform the average gamer that the gerudo of zelda are orientalist caricatures and they start acting like you just shot their wife in front of them

you try to tell people that Japanese people can, in fact, be racist, and are actually quite good at it, and they act like that's the most implausible thing they've ever heard

okay but imagine how inconvenient the streets of Central City, Amestris, is. Like yeah yeah country wide alchemy circle aside- can you IMAGINE the traffic? Like for the Love of Truth can we add another lane on this road?? The cars are backed up for miles! The urban planning board must be the sorriest people in the world. They got no clue what an alchemist circle looks like BUT the Fuhrer keeps showing up for an ominous visit every time they try to get a modicum of reasonable city layout. The zoning laws have got to be pure evil.

The crest of blood in the center was carved over the course of multiple years via traffic fatalities

At that point who even needs a genocide.

i think im getting better! :) [another event occurs]

brought nothing to the gun fight. whatever man

It is genuinely mind blowing to me just how many Tumblr posts have changed my life for the better and taught me to be happier. Not all of the thoughts originate on Tumblr, but the way people collect and frame them has literally changed my brain chemistry.

Gotta say, my absolute favourite notes on this so far have been the number of people congratulating Tony on his rebound from the Grinch.

I was debating pre- and post- smartphone existentialism with an older gentleman today and he stopped part way through and said “Why are you a security guard? Why aren’t you teaching this at some college somewhere?” And I didn’t know what to say so I went with “Well I used to make art but nobody pays an artist”

I want to invoke thought and wonder and introspection and encourage the passions of every soul I meet forever and ever and dig until I find the glorious potential for creation and experience and joy in every single one but unfortunately I must pay rent and so I stand, a meat shield, an NPC with unlockable dialogue

#capitalism brain tells you that anyone interesting must fight to the top of their interest#and precludes the possibility of everyone everyone everyone already being interesting

am i allowed to say kill all trillionaires or is that too specific of a threat

lotta talk about the consequences of your actions but it's time for the consequences of your inactions to have a moment. let's hear it for avoidance!!!
