If you are under 18, do not interact with this account about NSFW or adult topics, or really in general. I will block anyone who flouts this, for any reason. You should think about why you think it's a good idea to be contacting adults to discourse about adult topics.
Hey so I haven't been on proship twitter properly for years bc it's bad for my mental health and just not fun, but I still think about it a lot so; how did the Ang/Vee situation turn out? I'm hoping it is better than where I it was when I last heard about it.
At least be consistent with your critique. If you are fine with similar methods but immediately jump to moral panic over anything that you perceive as having been made by "tech bros" then that is more an issue with your perspective than with tangible reality.
Not to disregard the concerns people have about deepfakes, but whenever a new technique comes out and there is panic, I am just insanely curious to ask those involved why the same panic should not apply to Photoshop. Or animation rigs. Or any other image manipulation tool.
"What is the practical purpose of this technology" you can't think of any practical purpose of software that easily animates from images other than virtual rape? You can't, in the age of vtubers and digital presence and animation rigging, think of any other use? Really?
Just to clarify: the reason why james somertonβs misogyny has gone unchecked the entire time is because he was raging mostly about βfangirlsβ and βstraight white womenβ and letβs not pretend like leftists donβt consider that fair game and socially acceptable
taboo fictional content. so many leftists turn out to be pro censorship if it's something that makes them uncomfortable. they seem to not understand that banning certain types of fiction means those banning parameters can be altered to include content they do like.
It's just perfect that in the James Somerton expose, his only original contributions to queer discourse turned out to be him boosting the "fetishising fujoshi" stereotype to a mass audience. Not sure exactly what that says, but I'm sure it's saying something.
@adybpt Also note that by "filmed rape" they mean porn performances, because they don't think that sex workers have the ability to consent.
Vile attitudes and consequences all the way down. I hate swerfs.
@emilymbender@timnitGebru@xriskology "I am right about some parts of this! This means that anyone who disagrees with me about any part of it is clearly wholly wrong, and can be dismissed. The same goes for any groups that I notice have a different consensus to my opinion."
@emilymbender@timnitGebru@xriskology I feel like certain personalities need to recognize that just because they have identified that certain prominent figures aren't as smart as they front doesn't make them worthy of taking up that mantle.
