this might be a hot take but i dont think we should be glamorizing and idolizing famous people to a point that if something bad comes out about them we are feeling genuinely hurt or betrayed

Hi I’m coming out of my hole and out from under my rock to say that the hozier song Francesca is so Marecal coded it’s like a sucker punch to my fooking gut. And don’t even get me started on how unknown/nth is for them in the epilogue of kings cage/war storm. Like… Francesca is so cal coded the whole series when he’s thinking about mare…. And unknown/nth is literally mare coded for him (and for her and maven at the end of RQ. I’ll give it to them).
Excuse me, have to go scream and cry and claw at my throat, and throw up over this fact and that I can literally imagine the edit for marecal for Francesca.

i love reading things set in countries that i'm knowledgeable and/or have been to because i can point out really minor errors in fanfiction. i think the average american does not know that in england (and apparently some of asia! which i only just found out) there are switches on power outlets so you can just turn it off instead of unplugging it. like 9 times out of 10 that won't come up but on the off chance it does i'm like ohoho. this clown has never been to england...! my favorite part though is watching americans (specifically americans because i swear to god people who speak english as a second language and/or are from any other country have some idea of what it's like to have an accent / personally know people who have accents? idk) try to write british accents like it is REALLY funny. i literally only lived their for five years and i never picked up a full accent myself (certain words and tones i did but they're mostly gone after living in the states again for a few years) but between living there and having a ridiculous amount of family there & visiting them often (like once a year if im lucky) i like KNOW what british accents sound like. i think some americans genuinely dont even know theres more than one or two english accents i think some people think there's like posh english and chav english and nothing else. maybe scottish accent gets thrown in there if they remember the uk is not in fact just england. i would bet real money they've never heard a welsh accent. anyway my point is it's really funny watching people who don't know as much as i do write this stuff. like i see it and i understand how doctors read this and go Oh that is so medically inaccurate. i get them now. anyway i dont remember what my point here was but please know if you are attempting to write a british accent. reddit and youtube are your best friends if you don't have a british friend you can ask and also rest assured even if you do ONE google search. it will not be the worst attempt ive seen guaranteed

why would someone hoping that companies being able to take people's likeness and duplicate it via software becomes illegal be "dumb as fuck"?
actors already have some ownership of their own likeness which prevents studios from making CGI copies of them when they havent been signed up to a film, so why wouldnt voice actors get ownership of their likeness?
because first of all i do not believe that owning private property is ever a good thing at all and either way owning a likeness is very different from saying "all ai impressions of a voice should be illegal". actors owning their own likeness means, in an extremely simplified way, that companies cannot make money off of tricking people into thinking somebody is part of something when they're not. it's essentially the same thing as coca-cola having a trademark on their name and logo. and voice actors already DO own their voice's likeness. see bette midler's lawsuit against ford for using a voice impressionist to sing like her in a commercial. what YOU'RE suggesting should be illegal already is, and that's not even what kellen goff (and many other people in the notes of that post) seem to be suggesting, which is that using ai to make an impression of someone's voice at all should be illegal.
i'm not saying companies should be able to take actor's likenesses. i am saying that making it illegal to make ai text to speech of an actor's voice is dumb and will only help big companies and rich people and hurt the small timers that dont have the same legal team budget. back to the idea that owning a likeness is like owning a trademark, do you think trademarks are good? what about when monster energy tries to sue every single game developer that puts the word 'monster' in their game's title? what about when adidas tried to stop the black lives matter global network from using their logo for the crime of having three stripes? do any of these instances sound like strict "intellectual property" laws help anyone but large companies?
