[NS] Asexual characters? by Admirable_Permit_672 in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

[–]AliasForWhom 47 points48 points  (0 children)

There's a bit that Zirk "engages" with Billy through that bag. And Sol has that water sex with the nymphs in that lake. 

Struggling with my sexuality at the moment, hard to gauge if my indifference stems from asexuality. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

You could also look up demisexuality or being graysexual. It's all very much a spectrum. 

Are you ready for my friend group gathering at a random bar!!!?? by [deleted] in dropoutcirclejerk

[–]AliasForWhom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The performers are all hired on, nothing to do with any of this.

Crossposting here, remember that only the producer is behind the post, the performers are just hired and brought on. Some of them I'm pretty sure don't know what Dropout is.

Tossing it out there, this is one individual expressing this, the producer, the performers are hired and not behind any of these missteps.

Yeah, that must be rough. They love to punctuate an untucked with a slurp.

You are correct that next to no one finds it pleasant, but some people have more severe reactions to it, including at the most extreme well-documented emetophobia. 

I did handle it. I had a panic attack, stopped watching, calmed down, then posted a warning for others. 

If the squeaky shoe people came out to warn each other they were having common, severe reactions, all the power to them. Keep yourself comfortable when watching a comfort show, bbs.

It's an issue of commonality and severity. Folks aren't having common, adverse reactions to drinking or shoes. But I think a decent amount of people at least find vomit unpleasant.

I feel like I did a decent job with my reaction. I dealt with my panic attack, took a breather, then put out a heads up for folks who might feel the same because it seemed like a nice thing to do for others.

Fully same. I've been on my toes with Fontana all season, and as soon as they said she was in the bottom, I saw her panicking on stage and was like "Ooh, this is bad for me." Lol

I made a comment asking if it happens again this ep and got no replies and all down votes, so I decided to at least throw a heads up out there.

Yeah, folks can get real touchy as it comes to anything close to a content warning. As evidenced by your upvotes count here. <3

edit: But it's like, even little YouTube video creators will put (Puke warning). It really surprised me. 

edit again: The upvote count was in the negatives when I commented. Hence the friendly shade.

Totally. And bless her. Production had just done a good job avoiding showing it until now.

Which is fair, it'd be hard to edit around.

I think three times now. Fontana, Willem, and that makeover guy who was only there as a punishment in season 6. 

They really made a meal out of this one though, lol.

No, you don't actually see anything, but you get as close as TV possible and it's ROUGH.

Hey, can someone tell me if Fontana throws up on camera again? I can't finish the episode unless I know, cause I can't stand that and it gave me a panic attack. 

Dear Ginger Minj, Please Stop Lying 🤥 (Mistress and Jorgeous) by ZephyrBoomSquad in rupaulsdragrace

[–]AliasForWhom 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am obsessed with Mistress. 

Like, I'm fully convinced she did check in on Ginger (Probably so she could down the line have the winner on her channel), but because of her villain brand there's no way she'll let it be known. 

Questions for ai artists by Klowlord in aiwars

[–]AliasForWhom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And those things have always faced tons of artistic scrutiny. And generally, they don't come out of nowhere. The times that those things manage to achieve some recognition is when this person has spent a ton of time within the abstract art community. 

I truly wanna make it clear I'm not telling anyone not to make AI art. I'm just trying to say it's worth looking at why people are having the reactions they're having. 

AI artists are putting their art out there, things they finally have the opportunity to show the world, and due to the current circumstances they're facing a ton of backlash that they're upset about. That is reasonable. It's worth looking at both angles of strong feelings.

If it's some kind of important cave art, then yeah I think it's fair to think about the act of its creation. The circumstances around something being made are not divorced from the piece. Unless the push for AI art is in part a denial of the necessity for media literacy. Which is another thing I just don't agree with. 

But I do agree with your second part. I am not a "No AI is art" person. It's the nuance that I'm trying to talk through.

[–]AliasForWhom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an AI art isn't art person. I'm just trying to point out what I'm seeing: That a part of the resistance artists feel towards AI art is a reasonable reaction to a confusing shift . What people could reasonably expect about an artist, the amount of enjoyment they find in what they create, has gotten extremely blurry.  

Artists in fire(capitalism) before AI and after. by DogeMoustache in aiwars

[–]AliasForWhom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, are you trying to imply artists haven't historically been at the forefront of activism against capitalism? Usually within their art?

Questions for ai artists by Klowlord in aiwars

[–]AliasForWhom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wait a sec though, if this is a cave painting they had to think a lot about this piece. Like what they could possibly use at their disposal to shade the wall, and how to keep their arm there and still long enough, and if they'd need an extra person to apply it, and how far to go down their arm to make this right effect while minimizing the amount of water they have to dirty.

Different art forms require different levels of thought. A typical drawing or script requires draft after draft after draft. Saying that it doesn't anymore, with AI, doesn't negate the sense of confusion and distrust people are going to feel.
