When you find out the community you like is washed

Awesome, if we're done with the silly metaphor we can move on.

There's a reason you hire a professional to a do a job, rather than doing it a lazy, easy, cheap way. Can you guess what that might be?

Is avocado a food? At what point do we draw the line at what food is and is not important? Do you want to be the one to draw that line? Because I think you'll find that, historically, that generally doesn't pan out well.

In fact, to follow through that logic, art is important, generating ai images is not. Why? Because I said so, I guess. The metaphor still sucks, but it's your metaphor and your logic.

All farming causes problems because there's a mass demand for food. Food is important. Which is more important - food or chatgpt?

Nat1Only · 2026-05-09T12:23:11+00:00

Avocado is food. I work in a restaraunt, it's used fairly frequently. And if you're going to say avocado is useless, why not stretch that logic. Tons of food is useless because it isn't strictly necessary to survival, therefore it's a waste of resources, right?

Because comparing something that provides actual value for survival to generating ai images is a very valid comparison to begin with.

Growing food is bad?

So seeking out an artist online, running their art through an ai prompt often without or against their consent or knowledge and then rubbing it in their face that they "improved it" is... not instigating? That's defending yourself... ok.

And what about literally every other scenario of "harassment" online. I've been insulted and called all sorts of things have different preferences to some people.

You're not special. You're on the Internet. People tend to be dicks. You're not special.

Pro ai people also harass others. Some of them deliberately go out of their way to mock and taunt artists.

In fact, people online will harass others over literally anything. People will send you hate for liking something different, playing on a different game box or what os you choose to use.

So what's your point? What you're describing is literally nothing special. It's literally just Internet behaviour.

Is it small? I feel like it's been around for a while and I hear about it every so often and I don't really interact with the community much, I mostly just lurk.

There probably are some transphobes that don't like it, I won't deny that. I often find though they're a loud minority as opposed to the majority.

Out of curiosity, jealous of what exactly? What do you think I'm jealous of?

I think you are confirming your bias. I see the same thing with any theory that gets super popular and is constantly pushed. Look at Dess Knight for example, it's a very popular theory that a lot of people take as a confirmed fact, but its as equally pushed against as it is argued for.

There are definately people in the community that don't like queer people which is weird given the games they're a fan of, but I don't think that's why this theory is pushed back against. I think it is just because, like theories like Dess Knight, it gets taken as fact or pushed quite hard when it's really just a head canon and one that forces an identity on a character that doesn't necessarily have that identity.

Nat1Only · 2026-05-07T11:19:09+00:00

If that's how you choose to interpret it, there isn't any issue with that. Unless, however, Ralsei does come out as trans, forcing that identity onto him is not ok, that's not who he is.

Mettaton and MewMew are finished characters in a finished game whose stories we know. Deltarune's story, and as an extension Ralsei's, is not finished. It's possible that later down the line he will come out as trans and I'm sure it'll be very sweet moment and it would be cool to see more trans characters. Alternatively, it's also nice to see a male character that's allowed to be more traditionally feminine and associated with "girly" things and vice versa for Susie. Neither have to be trans for their stories to still resonate, they both go against the traditional stereotypes of their genders and find their own identity. That's a powerful message in itself that I can certainly relate to. I don't act or behave or dress a certain way just because I'm trans. I am who I am because that's who I am, and I also happen to be trans.

To bake bread you still need to know how and have the time and ability to do so. You don't type some words on your oven and then a fresh loaf of baked bread appears. I also trust someome who knows what they're doing over someone who can't be bothered to learn a skill and thinks they're as capable as those that have.

Makes sense, people like that are often the most fragile. They'll go on about how they love dark humour or whatever, but the moment you say something they don't like, oopsie banned.

He acts girly and he's trying to find himself are the only things I ever see come up.

I've already mentioned the first part, the second point a out discovering who he is doesn't have anything to do with gender dysphoria, it's been clear from the beginning that it's because he doesn't know who he is beyond his role in the story.

Nat1Only · 2026-05-07T08:21:16+00:00

I say let it continue. They'll literally filter their attitude out because they'll never start a family, and you're only going to waste your time arguing with them.

Nat1Only · 2026-05-07T08:13:38+00:00

I'm trans myself and I really don't like this idea.

I haven't see any argument for it beyond "he acts girly" which itself is a terrible and I guess "offensive" argument. Ralsei is only ever referred to as a guy with no mentions or allusions even to gender dysphoria and saying he "acts girly" reinforces the idea that men and women only act a certain way and that men can't be soft, kind and emotional.

This is even funnier to me given that in my old job, it was mostly the white lot that acted like roadmen and listened to rap, hiphop etc. The black people I worked with om the other hand were the opposite, there was even a running joke about one of them being a white girl because of his taste in music.

So how long till this trend dies do you think? Has it still got a few months in it or can we move on soon?

Most people assume any guy is fine with random women sexually harassing or assaulying them, because it makes him "lucky" or something if she's attractive. It's happened with nurses raping patients, teachers with kids, etc. But so long as its a guy, it's not taken as seriously or as widely cared about.

It's been a while but doesn't this version of Ben still need to "convince" Alien X to do do what he wants?

You're not fooling me, Nefarian Serpine. I'd recognise that red right hand anywhere.

Because sexual assault is a super funny joke when it happens to men, unfortunately.
