The illustration showcases a stake hammered into the ground, oozing blood as a red moon glows overhead.

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it

Asserting that a woman is by default sexually available to men and it's "exclusionary", "biphobic", or even "TERFy" to say that she's a lesbian is common in discussions of queer media.

Fae’rynn (Phantom Futch) @faerynnistired.itch.io · 17h

sexuality discourse in fandom is hardly pressing but the whole thing is really fucking difficult as a lesbian (especially when you consider that artists and writers have been harassed and doxxed for “getting it wrong”) who likes art and media.

Lesbian is the “bi-erasure” sexuality to fandomites

Spanberger: my opponent has previously said that she does not think that gay couples should be allowed to marry

Earle-Sears: That's not discrimination

Spanberger: she thinks it's okay for someone to be fired from their job for being gay

There's nothing wrong with Hooters per se, but only a deeply sexually repressed society would be capable of producing Hooters. It's wild that it existed alongside Applebee's and Chilli's. Yeah man let's go to the psychosexual chicken wing place.

"I want to watch sports and eat chicken wings but I also want to constantly be aware that every waitress in this restaurant was hired for her fat tits. No I want them to be clothed the whole time. I just wanna know that like, in the background."

Any upstanding pervert could come up with a strip club. That's good honest fun. But even a normal pervert couldn't come up Hooters. You gotta be a pervert who doesn't even know you're a pervert.

Authors, in the interest of helping readers spot gen ai 'authored' books, how many novels do you publish a year?

I publish one 80-100k+ word (epic fantasy) novel, and I can only do that because I drafted 8 novels before I started publishing any. 📚💙

A digital painting of a naked woman kneeling before a gigantic honey-colored flower with a skull in the center. The woman is rendered in shades of purple and red, her head cast back, eyes closed and lips smiling. Her long black hair is flowing down, covering her butt. Her arms are stretched behind her, bent slightly at the elbow. Some joker has written "Skeleton art share" over the picture

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

this is a great exchange because I feel like it really sums up the heart of the continuing confusion as to why artists don't want this shit: AI bros aren't artists, they have never tried to be artists, so they don't understand why control over your process is important to realizing your vision
