This is a quote from JA Westenberg that I heard via a video essay, titled "Bitterness as a crutch" by Mickey Galvin.
Sorry I had to screengrab since it's a bit long.

THIS. *They stole your fellow writers' FUCKING HEARTS' BLOOD to power their fancy-ass text-based writer-imitation machine.* You wanna get all NUANCED about that? Your easygoing take on that issue will sooner or later (most likely sooner) be used to steal *your* stuff. Let's see how *you* like it. 🫤
And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.
My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”
Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

imo if all the richest ppl on the planet are at once begging you to lower your standards for art and media consumption you can bet that it benefits them more than whatever they selling your ass on and should consider the opposite of what's suggested

Why would you pass up on photobashing... photoshopping images is like a time-honored internet tradition that anybody can do and have fun with

I want indie comics and zines to be trendy at cons so bad! I want artists to feel free to express themselves and connect with other fans with a bunch of cheap stapled photocopies, I want anyone who wants to practice their storytelling to be able to do so without worrying about not selling enough!

fool-assisted speedrun but it's me in a full jester costume trying to make the runner get distracted and laugh
new concept: fool-assisted speedrun
a prolific and storied speedrunner plays a game together with someone who's never played the game. the speedrunner has to listen to all of their advice

Not to mention that labour was already stolen the moment you chose to use a AI asset instead of paying someone to make that asset for you.

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

To the voice actors out there right now giving their time and effort to an IP that actively harms people y’all have personally worked with on other projects: don’t be surprised if we stop contacting you
The money JKR makes from this series with her IP is directly going to harm trans folks. Involvement with this production (yes, even listening) makes you an active part of that harm.

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

imagine making one of the most well-received games in recent years, one that oozes personality on every level, and then deciding "you know what will really boost our next project to the next level? the soulless slop machine that kills the planet and steals art and stuff."

If Americans went up for the rights of people not even in this country, what do you think they are going to do for their fellow Americans? Do not repeat the mistakes of the recent past. Make civil rights an integral part of the platform once again and ensure it applies to everyone.

This is so sad. I love my paperbacks. Hardcovers are beautiful, but they don’t fit into the hoodie pocket of an angsty teen (RIP the mass market paperback) and you can squirrel away a lot fewer of them in a bag for school or travel.

I don't think I ever posted my Huk refsheet redraw. It's not coloured, because they come in MANY patterns and 'morphs' just like goats and sheep. But they are very well loved by the Asah people as mounts and travelling buddies and are featured often in art motifs and carving

Zootopia 2 is the highest grossing Hollywood movie of the year & Kpop Demon Hunters was Netflix's most popular movie of all time, but fuck animators, am I right? I hate reading about how huge & beloved this stuff is while knowing how hard creators have it & how it still isn't broadly taken seriously
