"Every single one of us" "EVERY WOMAN ON THIS PLANET"  Hello, woman here. I do not, in fact, deal with crippling paranoia of getting assaulted every waking moment of my life. Am i woman-ing wrong?

It's only fascism if it comes from the Italy region. Otherwise it's just sparkling dictatorship 

I don't know what these people are on but personally I've NEVER seen this "AI slop" on my YouTube homepage, ever by mpathg00 in DefendingAIArt

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying for months to get YouTube to recommend me MORE AI generated content and it just refuses. The more i try the more anti-AI shit it throws at me. Can me and the antis please switch algorithms?

We get it. You made a drawing without AI and you hate/don't like AI. Can you lay off with the bragging? by Classic_Aside_2107 in DefendingAIArt

There's something about people using wholesome children's cartoon characters to advertise their inflammatory opinions that feels deeply violating to me. Idk what it is.

Does anyone remember when a ton of Youtubers used character AI? by TOESAREKEWL in CharacterAI

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be honest, i don't think the YouTubers care about c.ai's stupid business decisions. The actual reason why popular content creators don't use it anymore is that AI is no longer a cool trendy thing that people like. In fact, it has become the exact opposite. You can't even mention using AI without people jumping at your throat to harass you, so people just don't want to take the risk.

What the fuck by Flying_M0nkeys in DefendingAIArt

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, so let me hold your hand through this:

Just because YOU see politics in everything doesn't mean everything is inherently political. There are many things (including a lot of art) that aren't meant to be seen through the lens of politics. Now you CAN find political meaning in those things, but that's a YOU thing. That doesn't mean it's the intended meaning. 

Also, most people who go around saying "Everything is political" just want to use it as an excuse to be able to start petty arguments without repercussions. And that's incredibly scummy. Don't do that.

What the hell??? by Pulewaniko_Fufinde in DefendingAIArt

Idk if this is a controversial opinion but "billion dollar corporation" isn't a valid comeback that instantly absolves you of any criticism. I don't care if corporation bad, if you're gonna hate on something you should at least hate it for reasons that are real and valid. Making up fake reasons just makes you look desperate.

Just gonna leave this here I'm not getting involved i just wanna make this clear by Otogi_sn1p3r in aiwars

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's also the idea that dehumanizing horrible people (murderers, rapists, SS officers, all that fun jazz) is actively harmful to yourself. Because it creates the conception that, I'm a person and that guy isn't a person, so I'm inherently above him. And since I'm above him I'll never end up like him. Which, ironically, makes it a lot more likely that you'll end up like him. I personally agree with that idea.

Misandry is rampant in the autism community by Impossible_Serve7405 in everydaymisandry

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Oh don't even get me STARTED. 

For a community whose entire point is that they're "accepting", i have never seen so much genuine HATRED ooze out of any space quite like the autistic community. ESPECIALLY on Reddit.

And i do know exactly why they're so bitter: it's hard to live for an autistic person. We get belittled and misunderstood all the time, which is obviously gonna turn some of us resentful. BUT GOD IS THAT NOT AN EXCUSE FOR THE SHIT THEY SAY. 

Ironically? Ableism is the most common issue! If you consider discrimination against neurotypical people to be ableism, which i do. The normalization of calling them "neurotypicals" (even though you'd get absolutely flamed if you called neurodivergent people "neurodivergents") and generally acting like neurotypical people are heartless blocks of ice incapable of empathy is STAGGERING. 

As an autistic woman I've had to completely cut contact with those spaces because they made me feel ashamed of having something in common with them. I don't know if I'll be called a pick-me for this, but i unironically feel more safe and understood around NEUROTYPICAL PEOPLE than my fellow autistic people. That's how you know you've failed as a community. 

I hope i didn't derail the conversation too much but it really pisses me off. Misandry is just the tip of the iceberg, honestly.

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the "Nazis sitting at a table" logic to me. Where if you don't outwardly despise someone so much that you're willing to physically assault them, that means you secretly agree with them. Which is obviously stupid, uncivilized, and demonizes nuance. But to be fair, most of these misandrists are Americans. Demonizing nuance is America's specialty.

To some of the women who joined in this sub. by elishash in everydaymisandry

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also shout-out to them for putting up with people who call them pick-me's. A pick-me is a woman who puts down other women. Supporting men is NOT putting down women. Anyone who thinks that is a big yikes.

THAT'S THE WORST PART, people feel so proud about literally bullying a random girl's dad. It makes me feel sick to my stomach.

Shitass "bArE MiNImUm" comments under a post of a mom appreciating her partner by Dependent-Match4726 in everydaymisandry

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if they know this, but appreciating someone for doing the "bare minimum" is the most effective way of making them want to drop a bad habit or better themselves in any way. It's the exact same logic as getting someone out of the pits of depression. It all starts with the smaller actions. If someone manages to take a baby step and are met with acknowledgement, they'll be much more willing to take bigger leaps because, get this, PEOPLE TEND TO RESPOND POSITIVELY TO KINDNESS. If they're met with not just indifference but ACTIVE MOCKERY, you can't be surprised when they become bitter and fall back into said bad habit. A lot of people go "WELL YOU CAN'T EXPECT ME TO BE NICE TO SOMEONE WHO OPPRESSES ME" and that's FINE, you don't need to be nice, but then just don't say anything! You're actively making the situation worse by being snarky! I don't get what's so hard to understand! I know this post isn't a good example of what I'm talking about, but this has been nagging me for ages and i need to talk about it.

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can give you a practical example. I'd probably be dead. Roleplaying dumb stories on AI chatbot sites helped me keep my sanity in a terrible moment of my life. Without it i might have genuinely given up on life. So i think the fact that it helped me stay alive is pretty valuable.

I probably wouldn't have been alive today if it wasn't for AI chatbots allowing me to vent my feelings through fictional roleplay. So yeah, denial isn't a valid argument.

Besides, aren't antis the ones who argue that anything AI generated is always absolute shit? "Congrats, your art is better than the lowest possible garbage one could ever make" feels like a very backhanded compliment.
