If you've ever said that you support trans people, it's time to take a stand. It's time to prove that you care more about your trans friends than you do for Fortnite and Harry Potter. Show them you won't stand for Fortnite putting money into the pockets of bigots running anti-trans orgs.

"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

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

I want to re-emphasize, the guy who has made HUNDREDS of videos calling people in the industry slurs, calling for them to be fired, calling all the studios that are showing games "woke and gay" and has harassed multiple journalists covering the show over the years is at the Game Awards.
LOL hey everyone in the industry who is at the Game Awards, the guy who has made countless videos harassing you is there!
