Hello friends, old and new! It's great to see you here. My latest fixation is vtubers, and I'm working on becoming one myself soon. I'm also into art, D&D, smut, animation, sea life, and social justice. I have dysthymia and ADHD. I try not to talk about that much, but I'm often random and brooding

I think frankly the narrative should not be "oh look at this GenAI dub it's so bad!" and instead be more along the lines of "Companies think you are gullible and tasteless enough to mindlessly consume crapped out GenAI dubbing or worse and we need to stop it before it goes any further."

BlueSky has a problem with identifying Nazis.
now that Zentreya has apologized and made it clear that it was based on aesthetics from an older model and actively scrubbed of nazi iconography, its a little freaky how fast so many people jumped onto the bandwagon without all that much evidence.

this behavior has *created* so many of the monsters we need to deal with online now. and i swear to god if this makes zen, a typically progressive vtuber, become a right wing grifter, i might actually just start calling congresspeople to get this site shut down.

My thoughts on the Zentreya outfit, meant to critique/teach.
As someone so entrenched in fashion, I feel the need to use this as an educational moment for all. As nervous as I am, it's important to address these things directly, for learning, transparency, and growth.

I don't wanna stand by, esp as a Jewish autistic person with friends in the minority, to have people generalizing the space as alt right.
I am the complete opposite of that and will remain like that.
I'm still technically a VTuber in the most shallowest definition.

I want to come to someone's defense on the issue of authoritarian-inspired costumes and their relation to BDSM and fetishism, and whether it's appropriate in modern media; but it's awfully difficult to do that right now. My knowledge is far from complete. The situation is spinning out of control

House KOSA's audit policy is the one aspect im a little shaky on and havent found any more authoritative writing on, but felt should still be mentioned
![KOSA [house version]
-omits duty of care, but there is no guarantee this stays gone
-no exemption for nonprofit entities
-yearly audits of platforms. could possibly include even really small ones, ex: mastodon instances, discord servers?
Reducing Exploitative Social Media Exposure for Teens (RESET) Act [DRAFT BILL]
-prohibits kids/teens under 16 from maintaining socmed accounts
Sammy's LAW [H.R 2657]
-drastically increases surveillance of children
-leaves children MORE vulnerable to having their data and privacy violated
-isolates LGBTQ children
App Store Accountability Act [H.R.3149]
-requires Age Verification at the app store level
-transmitting Age Signals to developers.
SCREEN ACT [H.R.1623]
-instates nationwide age verification for websites lawmakers deem "harmful to minors"
-could include anything from porn sites to socmed, fanfiction sites or telecom networks.
-forces websites to contract with shady 3rd party verification companies
-collects and stores our ID info like drivers licenses and passports in insecure databases
-backed by far right politicians and anti-porn groups
Safer Guarding of Adolescents from Malicious Interactions on Network Games (GAMING) Act [HR. 6265]
-seeks to add parental tools to help act as safeguards for children
-the issue is, it seeks to install said safeguards by default, and the legislation goes hand in hand with AV legislation
Parents Over Platforms Act
-Age Verification for apps](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xawhcpoqu6pdxpp72fd43wuf/bafkreidjvw3v4k5iy26ih4bs3mbrznvwbfqcfrykrvrl5rmofzvxfzj7ye@jpeg)

The thing about CrunchyRoll’s enshittification is that normally I’m a big proponent of supporting official channels but if the money from subscriptions isn’t being used to pay talent and labour and the quality suffers as a result, then morally what’s the purpose of supporting those official means?
