“AI makes things easy anyone can do it! But also using AI is a skill and an art form and I should be taken seriously because it’s actually really hard.” Which one is it?
Support real artists and especially those in the communities AI is destroying.
“AI will lower the barrier for entry” and “AI is here to help with the menial tasks” are conflicting statements. These so called “menial tasks” still require skill and are usually given to entry level artists. How do they get in now?
Is the end goal efficiency? As someone who’s work in this industry for a while, anytime an efficiency is found, it doesn’t take pressure off. “You have so much more time now! How about you do the job you were already doing but also this other thing not in your job description?”
An even if you did, what do you think the end goal of AI (in animation) is? Make things cheaper? When has that EVER worked in our industry? Studios have shown time and time again that they will always cut corners at the expense of their employees.
Being homophobic, etc is rooted in misogyny.
It is rooted in the belief that femininity is inherently lesser and boys are taught that they need to act masculine to become men.
This is why so many of them start harassing anyone who is "feminine." It is learned behaviour.
i know it's discouraging to see constant discourse online as a creator but please don't give up on your projects!
you'll find your people and your audience and it makes everything worth it
JK Rowling’s views on trans people has cost trans people their lives.
I worry for my friends in the UK. I worry for trans women and anyone who is GNC. I worry for cis women who don’t meet societal expectations.
She lost friends. Trans people lose lives.
The only reason women have any rights is because WOMEN got loud and difficult and demanded those rights. The next time a man tells you “men gave you rights” tell him to stfu and read a history book.
Maybe it’s because I’m neurodivergent, but it blows my mind how so few people actually want to be a good person.
Good people are celebrated in movies, games and books, yet rarely does anyone in the real world actually care enough to be a good human being.
I don’t think I’ll ever have the words to explain how surreal it was to see a legend like Dan Haskett bring a new level of life to these characters! 💜💚
I also can’t overstate the pressure I felt cleaning up his animation lmfao
