FYI, I decided to do a slight name shift. I started this account as a space to complain about all the things that bothered me about specific fandoms, but that isn't how I have really ever used it So this really isn't a salt account, it's a discourse account in the Foucault sense

This is teetering close to purity culture btw. This is the exact same argument that my Catholic youth ministers used to vilify premarital sex & porn. They'd argue that "if you marry someone who had premarital sex or watched porn, they'll compare you to their past partners/SWs."

Gonna be blunt, if you hate AI for the fact that it destroys the environment, then you should be welcoming this change. Plastics can take hundreds of years to decompose. Paper takes a few months. This makes a difference environmentally.

Notice Regarding Change in Packaging Design Nendoroid and Nendoroid [Basic] products will soon feature redesigned packaging that significantly minimizes the use of plastic materials, reducing plastic consumption by up to 84% as compared to the original design. Details:…

The thing purists continually forget is that changing real definitions of real life harmful behaviors to suit your fictional narrative to make them more palatable is in fact a bad thing. Stop softening terms like 'toxic' and 'abusive' when they're serious for a reason.

"Toxic yaoi shouldn't be abusive! Let's just make two characters argue with each other!!" I don't think we should be redefining toxic relationship, mate.

I think this post nails it. You can't judge someone's safety and morality based on easy heuristics. Especially not by their taste in art. You have to actually pay attention to their behaviour.

a fictional character who commits heinous crimes and is deeply evil but still interesting and entertaining is always gonna be more loved by the audience than a morally righteous character who's boring or annoying

art history is doomed lmao trying to find refs of historical aesthetic and imagery & whole search engine clogged and overrun with artificial img gen slop. pathetic. literally did the same ref search last year & results were dramatically different.

The data is safe. Services are offline as we examine and strengthen them. Sorry, but needed. @internetarchive staff is working hard. Estimated Timeline: days, not weeks. Thank you for the offers of pizza (we are set).

And that’s very concerning. Also: anyone else concerned that in an attention economy, where time spent on posts is always a positive thing according to the algorithm … we have to spend a lot of time scrutinizing suspected AI? Will this not propel AI to the top of our feeds?

A big trap a lot of people fall into is that every time some kind of taboo depicted, they have to insist it’s there to teach you the viewer a lesson about what not to do in real life.

‼️Can people please stop using 'hyper-sexual' to refer to sexual content they personally dislike when in a medical context it's a genuinely debilitating issue, & in media contexts largely refers to the marketable sexual objectification & dehumanization of women's/girl's bodies

What’s quite interesting is how “problematic” used to be a more nuanced way of describing something flawed, but now just means “morally bad”

One of the most dangerous modern developments in fandom spaces is this. Minors acting as NSFW vigilantes has become so normalized young 20-something adults will encourage minors to do this w/o seeing the issue because they participated as minors as well. We need a safety overhaul

Please please do not encourage your primarily minor fanbase to report NSFW content. This is a general warning beyond the current situation. Please do not encourage minors to seek out NSFW and therefore enter adult spaces in general. It's so dangerous and unhealthy for them.

Hey, just to be clear, I think how Yaelokre is handling their discomfort over people making fanwork of their characters is irresponsible and dangerous. That said; if you reply to/qt them with work that makes them uncomfortable, or even talking about making it. That's harassment.

cw // violence, rape mention You can't claim to hate antis but then act exactly like one by harassing them back. Making a threatening tweet like this is disgusting and uncalled for. I will immediately block anyone who says stuff like this, this is gross behavior.
