By "blue hairs" do you mean younger queers or old women? Because honestly both would work.

If elected President, I will sign a bill into law that makes it so every Pokemon trainer self insert fanfiction includes a chapter where the trainer gets sick and the Pokemon have a little misadventure looking for medicine/a cure

All the more reason to dig in and resist

Awesome.

I uh...don't know how to do that. Maybe you could help. I could hire an editor...

Yeah I have to set up my recording closet for it first and you've seen the state of that room.

The Amazing Digital Circus fans will be pleased to know that it is real and it is in Lloyd Center in Portland Oregon.

They do not have the sauce that makes you stoopid, however they do have Stoopid Juice on their menu.

Welcome to Bluesky: Weird Al is on here but you sometimes don’t immediately get told that. That’s most of the important information.

And if you hear me talking shit about Sora, I am likely to be talking about either the AI slopware or this piece of shit who did everything wrong.

I am so frickin glad for this because now I don't have to do all that PVP to level up

A Pokémon Go screenshot showing that the user has reached level 66, with 8452 pokémon caught, 5079 pokéstops visited, and 204 total kilometers explored.

I can't take you seriously if you don't write the actual words. You talk about the importance of warnings but then act like nobody has words blocked

I love that fanfic writers aren't allowed to profit off our work, but LLMs can steal our writing, then make people pay to produce fanfic erotica.

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

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Heck in English class we were ASSIGNED fanfiction.

Considering that's a backlog of thirty years, doubt.

Opinions surrounding Pokemon Legends ZA are so fucking annoying. Acting as if the textures on the side of a building effect the overall quality of a game is ridiculous. If it makes the game run better, I can stand it being slightly less graphically appealing

Game of the Year went to Elden Ring so there was something. For some reason most of the English language articles I can find are on Nintendo sites but here's a list of nominees with the winners highlighted

also like, things like Death Battle, as much as they're basically 'smashing action figures together' but with high production values, still don't work without caring about both media in question

you wanna put two things together you gotta care about them enough to figure out how they go together

AI erotica sucks
It sucks TERRIBLY
I've seen a lot of it
They use the same phrasing, the exact same words, regardless of context

It sucks shit

Jork it to fanfiction like a normal person

All the more reason to dig in and openly resist such bizarre and arbitrary social norms that force restrictive behaviors for no reason.

remember when cringe was bad and you couldn’t admit you read reader insert fanfiction or else be publicly ridiculed? because i remember. i remember very well.
