I think it's okay, theoretically, for cisgender people to write transgender characters.
But I think that if you're going to do it, we should assign a Transgender Commissar to you to watch every word you write, juuuuust in case.

Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

Like I joke that Dave Filoni's Star Wars shows are "written like fanfics" in that their plots appear to be largely excuses to cram in random bits of lore and have characters he likes meet each other and maybe fight

On the last point, a lot of fanfics really are just "fanservice" - entirely self-referential and serving little purpose beyond offering an opportunity to keep playing with the dolls created by a story
This is usually what someone means when they say something was "written like a fanfic"

Most of the disdain towards fanfiction falls into a few categories:
- Hating it because it's what girls do (which is just misogyny)
- Disapproving of people wedding themselves to established brands instead of creating their own works
- Disapproval of self-referential works
- Hating it because it's what girls do (which is just misogyny)

I don't have anything against fanfiction, necessarily, but playing around with the dolls handed to you by some other piece of fiction isn't really comparable to a new take on a canon, especially because of the deferential attitude towards the work in question demanded by copyright

I think equating modern fanfiction with historical works that draw from an established canon is pretty fundamentally dishonest, particularly in the way that no one *owns* the concepts that works like Dante's Inferno are drawing from
I actually had a discussion about this yesterday. The hate for fanfiction has 4 components:
1) It directly defies capitalism. Capitalism tells us that only things that are profitable are of worth. Most fanfic is free and so people equate free to bad. 🧵 #fanfiction

Excommunicate him Leo, please excommunicate him it'd be SO funny I need this Leo I'll even start going back to church if you publicly excommunicate him.
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."
Catholic Vice President Vance takes to social media to justify killing of Renee Good
After the tragic shooting of Renee Good at the hands of ICE, the Catholic vice president of the United States took to social media to justify the killing.

What needs to be added to this is that ICE blocked a physician from having access to the dead or dying body of Renee Good for FIFTEEN MINUTES after she was shot. That, in and of itself may well have constituted murder. The media will gloss over this. Do not let them.
The big difference with the murder of Renee Good is that different videos of it happening are available which clearly show what happened. This means that the first people on trial are journalists and media editors.
The editorialising will attempt to portray a misleading version…
