One important thing to understand about Republicans is that they promise freedom from consequences. Fried for being a racist? A million Nazis will fundraise for you. Jailed for a crime? A pardon and maybe a cabinet position. You never have to change for the better, you’re always covered.

“People don’t have a choice if work makes them use A/I”
I refuse to use A/I. I voice that on any project I touch.
If you’re making “A/I dubs” of animes, you’re the same as a scab during a strike.
Just because it keeps YOU secure, doesn’t mean you’re absolved from the damage you’re causing others.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

This is so awful! Voice actors deserve respect and compensation and no AI is ever going to be able to do what a VA can do with their human creativity and performance choices.
God this makes me angry.

I hope the people involved in saying yes to this poop their pants violently at the exact most embarrassing time to do so each day :)
They pay us so little in dubbing already & clearly think we aren't worth paying at all yet theyre also bringing in celebs for "name factor"
Performance means nothing

Hey just so you know Amazon decided to give us an AI ENGLISH DUB of Banana Fish instead of actually hiring real voice actors

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"
"According to the report, [...]during the 2024-25 television season, queer characters increased across platforms by 4%, bringing the total to 489. However, the Thursday report found that 41% of those characters will not return." www.thewrap.com/glaad-where-...

Absolutely bonkers sequel that manages to up the ante and utter ridiculousness of the first with more over the top violence, gore and action. Jorma Tommila says so much without a single word and Stephen Lang is evil incarnate. Insane set pieces and surprisingly heartfelt ending.
