Men deserve better then to be constantly antagonized, even if there are systems of privilege in place. We don't earn our right to exist by being abused.

Tbh this is one of the reasons I have isolated from a lot of "feminist" accounts, orgs and people online and offline. I don't want to be in the vicinity of people who see me as a disease, a problem or someone who has to curl up and pretend to not be there to be deserving of love and friendship.

Ah, so good to know, nothing is systemic, people are just weak and stupid! So the only thing that is stopping women from not being effected by mens opinions and devaluation is obviously their weak asses taking shit from guys. Noted! I'll make sure to spread the word around in your name.

... The patriarchy?? You know, the thing we all know exists and devalues emotions, vulnerability ect. as "feminine"?

object slicing ????? are you kidding me?!?!?

"if you pass an array to a function it can no longer tell how big it is, you have to tell the function how big the array is in advance" - they made the language wrong then!

(i am joking but it is funny finding out how much harder this is than c# or python)

If you want to learn to make art, there are countless people out there willing to help you. The only thing is, you have to be willing to try. The AI pushers want what they perceive is the kudos for having made the art, but they don't want to try.

The products of genAI fucking suck because they don't require any focus, any discipline. They just require the easiest part of the whole endeavour: the initial idea. And the technology tells you that's enough. You only have to have one vague thought and it can be made real.

But unless you actually do that, unless you focus your mind and whatever other body parts you might be using on the task of creating a thing, it'll never be more than half-formed. It'll never be more than whatever popped into your head first.

There *are* barriers to entry for creativity. They're not necessarily monetary or even based on talent: the key component is making some kind of effort. Because that effort is where your raw, unfocused idea gets turned into something that is real and may have value (even if only to yourself).
