“He’s a problematic character” it’s ok he’s hot. “He’s bad representation” it’s ok he’s hot. “He murdered two hundred people and manipulated his husband” it’s ok he’s hot

How about we give timid and quiet and feminine and submissive characters (and people) as much love respect and value as those who show different character traits. How about we don’t assume that you’ve got to penetrate anyone, dominate anyone or be cool (in a most common sense) to have worth

I mean the problem is not someone no matter the gender us making a choice to be a femme bottom sub. The problem is if society and other people see it as deficient and only see this character as worthy of love and respect if they show dominant or assertive features . That’s the problem

Also we should take it further. A character can be soft, not a fighter, bottom feminine sub who’s exceptional at art but would hate picking anyone’s ass and also needs lots of care and they can and should be loved respected and cherished.

I cannot stop laughing. This is so indicative of what's wrong with these AI people and how they view art
He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

Oh god, I can’t hear that that fate of Ophelia anymore. I hate it so viscerally for being in every video and every shop. It quickly passed the stage of an incredibly annoying ear worm.

So OpenAI is saying that this troubled teen fucked around and found out. They're blaming him for believing ChatGPT. Fuck the whole company to hell, and they can take their scumbag legal team with them.
“OpenAI’s court filing argued that the harms in this case were at least partly caused by Raine’s ‘failure to heed warnings, obtain help, or otherwise exercise reasonable care,’ as well as the ‘failure of others to respond to his obvious signs of distress.’”
OpenAI denies allegations that ChatGPT is to blame for a teenager's suicide
Adam Raine's family sued the AI company in August. On Tuesday, OpenAI said in a new court filing that it isn't responsible for the teen's death.

people who think there's something inherently wrong with a male character who's a feminine bottom sub have LOTS and LOTS of stuff to unpack.

THIS. OMG, this. All of this thread.
I can't get over how it's 2025 and we still have some people judging others for having a top/bottom preference instead of liking a character vers. It's so embarrassing at this point. "But it's heteronormative to make twinks bottom only!" It is not that deep, care about real problems.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

Mastercard is bleeding, get in there. Make some calls. Get some cool family members in on it over thanksgiving
The lines are getting clogged from calls and Mastercard is feeling very pressured, they're looking into how to act in response. They're collecting information on callers to have a better understanding of who is calling in re the censorship issue
