What is the point of this

What is the point of attacking authors for the stuff that they wrote for assholes like you, for free? To read? People who leave comments like this on people’s work need to back the fuck up and get a life.

normally I’d just block and ignore but my friends have been getting comments like this too after simply politely asking for elaboration on other use’s incomprehensible comments. So I’d like to make a statement.

stop treating fic authors terribly for no reason. They’re not your writing machines or slaves for entertainment. They are people with lives and owe you absolutely nothing.

free advice for anyone thinking about adapting the last airbender in any medium at any point in the future: if your vision does not feature the sky as a whole character in and of itself, you have failed right out of the gate - not only as an adaptation, but in Getting The Point, and the scope and the scale of the tragedy (and the hope) that drives this story, and its main character

#serious business #writing #atla #netflix atla #aang #air nomads #this post is not about natla hate if you rb it please do not try to make it so #but if you give a shit abt Themes And Motifs you will give us the gaang Living in the sky. not just journeying through it #you will give us zuko in his anger in his grief always tethered to the ground and always looking Up #you will give us people in the earth kingdom/water tribes/fire nation staring past the walls they've had to build/had built around them #you will give us not just comets and eclipses but shooting stars and auroras and migrating creatures and weird clouds and storm breaks #you Will Give Us the empty space where an entire nation should be. and may never be again

If Ahti is scared then that’s how you know something BAD is happening.

Or is about to happen!

Especially considering how unfazed he was during the Hiss intrusion incident! Which was already a shitshow to begin with!

Someday there's gonna be a gender-bender manga where a character, like, turns to the proverbial camera and says something like "Did you know that even with a pill that magically transforms your body (or whatever), Japanese law requires that you be surgically altered so that you don't have functioning gonads before you're allowed to change your gender in the family register? I thought that was interesting" and just that alone will make it 9006% more transgender than whatever "but I'm a guy"-internal-monologue-every-five-minutes nonsense is popular this week.

The conflict is not between AI Users and Real Artists.

The corporations want you to think it is, because they want to hire people to make things with a neural network, to do the labor of twisting and teasing and tweaking the model into making something good and expressive and meaningful to people, and then pay them peanuts for it; and they think they're going to get away with it because nobody thinks people who work with neural networks are real artists.

Don't help them get away with it.

(The question of using people's art without permission as training data is real, and meaningful, and a thorny issue that we have to work out; but let's face it, Disney could, and probably will, train a database entirely on art they own.)

Witcher Season 3 Ep 3

Watching the witcher season 3 long enough after it aired that such posts should probably be safe? The most burning question (hurr hurr) so far is what did Rience do with the cat? Are they friends? He seems like a cat chap. Would Stregobor let him keep a cat? The cat is presumably house broken (and maybe magical -- cats are magic iirc in the witcher world). What would he name the cat -- did the cat have a name? I don't think the cat did. Does Aretuza permit cats? Cat mascot?

Regardless -- it is a good cat and I hope it is happy at Aretuza.

It reminds me on season 1's assassins bug that Yenn sliced up.

Sonic with an anti-chemical gas mask is the “face” of this AU story, hinting at a more mature, serious tone and atmosphere.

Gas masks fit into the biopunk genre as a protective aesthetic for biological warfare.

Here are further details on this Sonic and how his appearance and abilities can be scientifically explained:

there is not a singular canonical gay person in all of botw/totk, sidlink was literal crumbs and no one expected it to become a real thing but even if they did, why are y'all yelling at folks for accusing the devs of homophobia when there is not a singlular canonical gay person in all of botw/totk

#serious business #vidya games #the legend of zelda #totk spoilers #'sidlinks are annoying' valid opinion. objectively true. there are still no gays in this ip #sidlink #vaguely ig. i love that ship tbf #this is like. the tip of an iceberg of feelings i have as i play this game #among which are 'the kilton bros are Distressing but not for the obvs reasons' #as well as 'the devs nerd bias is hilarious and can be seen from space'

discussion of fictional racism/genocide and how it reflects real-world racism and genocide, in the context of a current popular anime:

"Your friends matter, and you shouldn't take them for granted!" "Sometimes the journey is more important than the destination!" "Murder is okay as long as it's someone who was born into a category designated as 'evil'!" "Make the most of the time you have, even (or perhaps especially) when you have a lot of it!"

ehhh.

not to yuck on anyone's yum (hence why I'm being a bit coy about which anime I'm talking about), and maybe it's just the fact that it's been a long time since I've engaged with a hero-versus-the-demon-lord story which actually played the premise straight instead of subverting it somehow (and/or the fact that the more prosaic version of my sona is a demon), but like ... when your melancholy travelogue manga starring an adorable twintails elf has a major setting-detail and recurring plot point that "there's this category of sapient beings who 'aren't actually people' and they're always unequivocally evil, they 'prey on people' but we won't depict it or even make it clear what they're actually doing outside of their direct conflicts with the protagonists, they're always lying especially when they're pleading for their lives, and it's always morally good to kill them", it's Kind Of Yikes, especially in light of current events (this post was written on October 26-28, 2023). and that's before you factor in the fact that every single proper noun except "El Dorado" is in German.

like, you cannot have a "race which it is ontologically Always Okay To Kill" without directly reflecting real-world racism and justifications of genocide, full stop. i'm not saying the author is an actual nazi or intentionally repeating the kind of things a nazi would say, nor that the fans are necessarily racist or anything either. but every time a protagonist says "you're nothing but a monster that preys on people", they sound like a villain whose shtick is Fantasy Racism, and every time someone kills a demon who appears to be begging for mercy, they look like the most unredeemable kind of turbo-evil bad guy -- everyone wants to live, right? you can't "in-universe justification" your way out of that, no matter how well the fiction supports itself.
