This is a salient point, but my main takeaway is they’re not seeing the returns they want selling it as “productivity software” so they have to go after the porn market.

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

so the concern wasn’t about temperance and modesty, but rather about having monopolized control over sexual gratification? i can’t live as i want because the wealthy weren’t profiting on it? sweet! awesome! really cool!!!

I had my little theory that the war on porn games/art/writing was, in part, to try to make AI scraping easier, but now I can add "it was astroturfing to take out the ethical, artisanal, actually artistic competition."

Remember the Great Reylo schism where people were divided between Kylo being a Dark Fuckboi Prince and Reysexual Virgin? Good times.

This is simultaneously offensive (due to the misogyny of a token female character being immediately coded as a seductress) and hilarious (due to Kylo Ren issuing a shoot to kill order because a non-Rey girl gave him a smooch).

Darth-Spaceflower💮 @chaossaber.bsky.social · 1d

So they went with the basic seduction trope at the expense of a new badass female character again 🥴 of course Kylo doesn't fall for it but still....

Mass market paperbacks were the very best book form humanity has ever invented and it’s a travesty and a crime against the book-reading public that they have disappeared.

There's a UK adult games creator on reddit who's been rejected from 36(!) and counting UK banks and unable to process the earned £90,000. Debanking for adult creators continues to be a real threat.

Spooky Leia🇵🇷🏳‍⚧ @madamephosphorus.bsky.social · 2d

This scene was the most earned moment in the trilogy. While sadly we never got to see Leia bring Ben back into the light, the decision to have a vision of Han do it due to Carrie Fisher's passing was a smart one.

Kylo Ren wasn't meant to stay evil. "Kylo Ren is dead. My son is alive."

I think it's pretty great that horny shippers and genre luminaries have saved publishing in a time where everything that *isn't* reading a book just steamrolls our attention. They don't get nearly the plaudits they deserve.
