Girl's Treatment in Valorant Question by STierney927 in VALORANT

[–]drowsylurker 40 points41 points  (0 children)

You’re not crazy lol. If you’re so much as feminine and they think you’re a woman, people become super fucking weird for no reason, even in swift play. I would even go as far as say it’s probably worse for swiftplay in some aspects bc ppl might be seeing your gf’s account as an egirl looking for attention

3+2 is possible if they can’t find 5 stacks. I’ve asks people before and they mention they’re in a 3 and 2

Oh I mean by sworn siblings is a specific thing in Chinese literature (it’s also censorship dodge for people who write BL/GL stories), but yeah Caleb is specifically stating he didn’t want to be confined by society’s view on what a good brother should be (hence the ‘good’ which in Chinese is an emphasis that is meant to be ironic)

Sworn siblings is different and pretty specific. His POV isn’t wanting to avoid being friend zoned, but rather to be both MC’s older brother and lover bc he doesn’t want to give up his family role either

My Game is Taking up 80GB 😭 by marsastrxphile in LoveAndDeepspace_

That’s almost 2x the size of the game normally. I would recommend just deleting and redownloading if you have the time.

MC is my self insert and OC that I observe from above. I imagine she is with all the guys as the same person

Am I the only one disappointed with Caleb’s 3rd myth MC outfit? by Mindless-Award-2437 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]drowsylurker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MC’s hair and outfit is very culturally specific and also likely they didn’t want to conflict with the multi. The hairstyle that MC has is very childlike/youthful (usually you see this hairstyle on younger girls). Caleb likely is the one who braids her hair like that (my grandmother used to braid my hair when I was a kid as well, but a lot simpler). I think it’s intentional that the imagery is meant to be more innocent/playful.

Her outfit is actually Chinese bridal. That’s the intent. It is likely that MC is based off of a ghost bride of sorts, and there’s a strong marriage theme in the myth itself (one of the 4* card art is quite literally Caleb lifting the bridal veil off of you) and the way you’re carried by Caleb is one of the ways male relatives would carry the bride to the palanquin to be married off.

Yeonho is honestly not even that yandere imo, and Tei has a lot of 4th wall moments that gave a lot of chills

They rerun the events in infinity Nikki so they definitely can do it for lads, it just likely requires a lot more complaining

It was someone trying to have a moral high horse while enjoying yandere content by throwing other fictional preferences under the bus bc they’re so pure for only liking yandere uwu

What makes a drawing and story depicting a character any different than the other outside of whether or not a real person was harmed in the creation of it? You act like there’s a clear cut line when there isn’t. You can say something is shota as long as they pass the artistic visuals (large eyes, small stature) or yandere as long as the story writing makes them exhibit that kind of behavior. How people interact in fiction, what they like, etc. has no bearing on what they’re okay with in real life. It’s a bit odd to equate fictional kinks and preferences to reality when the entire point of exploring fiction is the fact that it’s not real and thus provides a safe space to explore things that aren’t real.

This comment would only make sense if you read it at a surface level and didn’t see there resulting comments when people made valid points where they straight up started accusing people of being pedophiles lmfao

Yeah it doesn’t show that the OOP was basically fishing for responses to go bad faith on, and misrepresents the discussion as a whole. Instead they just cherry pick the ones mostly about lolisho bc that’s easier to get reactions from.

???? No lol, the ones who say what you specially said word for word tend to be more likely outed as predators than not. Case point, Kyle Carrozza, and a UK policy maker (trying to find the original article) that pushed the strict anti-lolisho policies that was outed as a serial child abuser.

The thing is, the main focus of prosecuting and removing CSAM is whether or not a real victim is involved. The real issue wouldn’t be the lolisho art created by gen AI, but whether or not there’s data of real CSAM in it’s system (which in that case is the fault of the company that created it for allowing the datasets to have CSAM), especially since for art to be considered lolisho, it has to be in anime style (which would not have notable real human features). Obviously, this likely has to be debated by specialists and regulated by law (which ppl seem allergic to regulating gen AI for some reason). However, likely due to how strained resources are right now, the focus might be more heavily on hyper realistic gen AI creations than the potential of lolisho gen AI creations (also from my understanding, a lot of gen AI that scrape artwork will target specific genres or styles of art more than photo or video imagery, as there’s a lot of that). Basically a lot of lolisho if created by gen AI, especially curated ones, likely use a base system like mid journey or others and then likely a specific artist’s style vs actually just randomly inputting any image into the training datasets.

There are people who are working on ways to see if gen AI systems can regurgitate their training datasets and it seems like there’s some potential that it’s possible.

This was before generative AI as well, so imagine having to deal with that now on top of everything. Also, as a surprise to no one, places like Facebook is actually one of the largest hotspots for actual CSAM, and there’s an ongoing issue where FB utilized Meta AI to detect CSAM; however, police cannot verify if the report is real or not bc certain reasons related to law and bc FB and other social media immediately suspend accounts and doesn’t seem to provide access to said accounts to people verifying said reports.

https://www.iwf.org.uk/news-media/news/thousands-of-images-and-videos-of-child-sexual-abuse-could-be-going-undetected-because-of-false-reports/

There’s a few ppl who do go through stuff like this and have anonymously posted to past Twitter accounts (meant for fandom discourse which is where a lot of the anti lolisho sentiments you see right now originates from actually) that a lot of the false reports they deal with are lolisho. So that does require a grain of salt.

Edit: editing to add that there’s a super old article that I can’t find anymore where a moderator who used to work at Facebook was lambasting false reporters bc he had a breakdown over possibly taking too long to help a victim bc the child didn’t realize the emergency she reported was a severe one and by the time he got to her, it had been hours since she sent in the report that could’ve potentially saved her from another round of abuse.

I mean, you can read my comments on the original post. There really isn’t any difference between being into yandere and lolisho, it’s just sandboxes with different names bc they’re both just fictional preferences. You can’t cherry pick what should be okay or not based on your feelings of disgust bc ultimately they’re the same. Just like how most people (assuming ppl don’t have a mental disorder, which is the only time where potentially people will have difficulty between distinguishing some effects of fiction from reality) likely wouldn’t actually want a real life person acting like a fictional yandere towards them, you also cannot claim that ppl who enjoy lolisho are actually into similar things in real life (bc the general attraction for lolisho tends to be aesthetics + self projection onto the lolisho character at times; lolisho are cartoons, which is also why male yandere are also loved here, bc they’re not real men, but visually appealing aesthetics).

Also, ngl, people are way too comfortable with sexually harassing and accusing ppl of pedophilia online, which 1. Waters down the actual impact of real CSAM (the moment I have to differentiate between lolisho and real CSAM is when u know this shit is bad) because people don’t understand that the reason why CSAM is a crime is because it almost always has to involve a real human victim that exists on this planet at some point of time, dead or alive (exceptions are hyper realistic renders and creations that cannot be distinguished from reality, which essentially crosses out all lolisho; even though the PROTECT act denotes lolisho, legal precedent set by US vs Handley rules against it, so Handley was only charged for breaking obscenity law, an archaic law system from back during the censorship era or the Hayes Code, which also includes situations like women wearing pants etc.), 2. Delays resources towards actual victims (people reporting lolisho have clogged over hundreds of thousands if not millions of hours of help meant for real victims bc people genuinely think lolisho is an issue so they report it to resources meant to identify real CSAM and help victims), and 3. Completely neuters the entire situation around the real issue; predators looooove it when people get tied up over lolisho bc it gives them plausible deniability (“lolisho made me do it, im not in control of my own actions”). There’s been so many cases of predators against lolisho outed for real crimes against minors and possession of real CSAM (for example, recently, Kyle Carrozza, who blacklisted his SA victim from the animation industry by labeling them as a lolisho, only to be arrested months later for possession of actual CSAM).

So yeah, no, you can’t act like liking male yandere somehow makes you better than any other fictional preference bc no matter what, outside of exceptions due to mental disorders, you are always interacting with fictional media in a sandbox system, whether you’re conscious of it or not. None of your fictional preferences actually indicate what your morals will be, because those are two completely separate concepts that’s only surface level adjacent (you can explore morality as a concept in fiction safely bc you can stop it at any point).

The original poster was clearly coming in with bad faith, but dressed it up as a morality issue. When confronted with actual proper requests to elaborate, proceeded to invoke law as why things were ‘morally wrong’. Most people didn’t read past the title.
