They claim that I’m alone. That I’m a “tiny minority against the vast majority”, but I know that’s false.

I’m “destroying” the Black creative space by condemning genAI usage? I’m “policing, bullying and forcing my ideologies”?

Bet.

I decided against deleting all of my social media accounts today. I was so sad and disappointed and disgusted. Now I’m just determined more than ever.
Thank you. I needed a reality check.

As many have reiterated, many of us Black readers, writers, authors and artists aren’t even “part of the community”. After this shit? I don’t want to be.

So moving forward, I’m only protecting and supporting me and mine.

The complacency and willful ignorance pisses me off, but the silence scares me the most. But it’s okay. You’re afraid to speak out? I’ll do it for you.

Who’s protecting and supporting real Black artists and real Black authors? GenAI steals from real creatives.

You want to protect both groups, while one group harms another. I cannot. I’m removing the virus.

My profile has been private for my own sanity, but I plan on posting publicly again in 2026.

Others can openly discuss who is using genAI, but Black people can’t? Why? To protect and support them?
