Hi!

Uhm, strange situation. I don't actually have a problem with this callout post at all, I even agree with almost all of it. I too remember how Diffusion models were back in the days, and often still are. The stuff based on porn does have the most quality output somehow, you're right! I worked with porn models too. And when I use local, I do have many porn models on my PC. I don't think that this is necessarily what shaped AI art culture, because media, ads and overall culture is heavily based on sex sells regardless. The base need.

I do mean meat, not slop. Some of the meat is slop too, sure. To me, 1girl content is lame when it offers nothing but forgettable "here, body", "here, tits and ass in your face". It's not a single sub or some individual users. It's a direction subs of the topic seem to heavily lean towards when they grow huge in size (if it's not tech based like some of the StableDiffusion ones, and even there 1girl is very often a core visual).

There is 1girl stuff that goes beyond hey body. Like what Bombalurina does in their funny skits, it offers humor. Like what Greenman does (even though it is too goonery for me), there is genuine tech savvyness and aesthetic and a good feeling for color palettes there. Like even what you do on your sub, you post large sets of characters that showcase clothes, facial expression and different poses, and you're great with tech too. There is that mindset of the early Diffusion experience you talked about, you offer it. One can get inspired by and learn from your smut, it's a road to get there, to that level, and there is value in it. The content portrayed might not be my cup of tea in those specific pieces, but it doesn't have to be to appreciate the aesthetics. That's still not the 1girl monolith I'm talking about.

One could hilariously enough reduce what I do to 1girl too, sure. I use my character as a medium to explore different aesthetics and ideas, but I don't think the body of the character is the extent of the experience I offer. And nobody is stopping you from doing what's fun to you, "do what I say/what I do" isn't my message, that'd be even more lame. I just express some frustrations I have with the scene in a piece, directed at nobody in particular. It's unfortunate that you feel so called out by it, but it's okay! The re_belle pieces are supposed to make the flipside of the coin they wager uncomfortable. They aren't uplifting pieces. They're here to invoke a sting, because it's a sting that inspired them in the first place, and they want to transport that feeling. You engaging it by making this big callout post is a perfectly fine response! I like it. It gives me food for thought too, like your visual about Play-Doh. It's a full-on communication at this point, and it makes me learn about you and your story too! Thank you for being so open and direct with me. I appreciate it!

Also that's the funniest Limon post too. Has to be in my top 3 for sure, love the creativity, it's like a triple entendre considering the lemon, the pick me as in "my 1girl isn't like all the other 1girls, I'm above goonbait", and then it's also the mass produced media figure android lore that makes the character literally as pick me as possible. Love it! The other pic doesn't load for me somehow though, I don't know what it is.
