Southern Europe has been experiencing climate change for years but nobody complained cause “what harm does it make a sunnier weather for Europe vacation spot?” But we are the ones working at 40 degrees while being called lazy or flooding every year due to torrential rains
I find it concerning that so many have responded to this by saying something like, “the earth isn’t dying, she is fighting off the cancer.”
This is a human centric view and ignores the mass extinction of non-human animals and plant life.
The earth is dying.

Thing is I have a masters in writing, I had critique sessions with professional authors, I pitched to the BBC and got feedback from the BAFTAs, none of those people would be as vile or cruel as some no works anon who thinks they're being "constructive"
"People don't want critique"
We live in a capitalist hellscape that sees the policing of everything, even hobbies, as something that could be done better for productivity and the appreciation of a larger audience and people are tired of being told to be better while having fun.
You're looking at the wrong genre if you're expecting revolutionary politics from cyberpunk. The whole premise is that capitalism has won, definitively and permanently.
Also this is another thing people miss about Iroh. Lu Ten dying didn’t turn him good, it just broke his will to fight. He quit the war, but he didn’t oppose it. It was arguably Zuko that changed his ideology, speaking out against the sacrifice of those soldiers.
okay SO. two things can be true at the same time: using ai to help write your fic is weird (especially untagged and/or with an anti-ai message in the notes) AND this rise in ai fics is 100% related to the consumerist mindset people have around fanworks. and both of these matter.
estamos viviendo en vivo y en directo el asesinato de la fauna y la flora marina a manos del capital
en 50 años el mediterráneo será un desierto de agua, pero al menos unos pocos ricos podrán seguir enriqueciéndose y divirtiéndose a base de cargarse el medio ambiente

I just find it so devastating that their first meeting is a traumatized Olly successfully saving Qifrey and Qifrey feeling so safe in a kind stranger's embrace that he almost trees out
Some confirmation from someone on the inside that these data centers are actually mass surveillance centers (and once again, that they use Palestinians as guinea pigs for what they will do to us. I know a lot of you fucks only care when something start to threaten you personally)
one of the reasons to get into cinema (or the history of any art form) is to marvel at the physical lengths people used to go to to realize a vision. I think this will get harder and harder to understand in an AI “art-on-demand” culture. It won’t be intuitive how they did this
When I was growing up you were largely seen as a rude freak for running up and filming a stranger - now I see videos of people asking not to be filmed and the comments are like “WHATEVER KAREN YOURE IN PUBLIC” and I guess I’d just like to congratulate the mass surveillance psyop
