Add "-ai" at the end of a search to remove the "overview."

You can delete and repost it so it doesn't get spread further!

It's a shame Bluesky didn't keep his transparency, though. He's supposed to have a transparent background.

I disagree. Age doesn't equal wisdom and life experience.

I don't like the assumption that if you're over 30, you've "already got the ball rolling" in regards to progress/success in life.

That's why they also think artists are "arrogant" and "need to be taken down a peg."

That's why you hear things like "How do you manage to fail art school? You just draw all day!" AND "Oh, I could never do that!"
They dismiss the thought that it's a skill, they don't want to consider that I'm not an alien being. They would rather think we aren't working hard at all - "talented."

They also don't understand that when we draw something, we can see where we struggled with it. They think to be a "good artist," you don't see any of the struggles/mistakes/parts you're not as fond of.
They don't understand that that part never goes away, so they think they "can't" be "good."

That's because these people think "being able to draw" is a "gift" you're "born with." They don't understand that it's a skill that you can improve. Therefore, they think artists aren't putting in any effort at all.

I'm the other way around. I think movies need to stop being treated as the pinnacle of all mediums. I like getting to spend more time with the characters.

AI's enemy is every human being who values creativity and expression. Why are we building machines to do the creative tasks, thus freeing humans to do more manual labor? Isn't that the opposite of what we should be striving for? The last thing we need is machines to think for us

Very high-quality animation, but this app will definitely be used by abusers.

Fascists are always trying to break up interpersonal expressions of love and care. Love and care are antithetical to their worldview, and so it must be stamped out. Any expression of love and care is resistance.

Oh, so it's like the people who claim certain manga are "soft seinen" ...

I just say "graphic novel" to mean the physical format - if it's chunky like a novel (and usually in volumes), I call it a graphic novel. If it's thin, short, and floppy (and usually part of a very long series) I call it a comic. But also, they're both comics.

I think I've mainly gotten the latter from art teachers, which is pretty exhausting and leads to a lot of imposter syndrome ("am I really just delusional about my work?").

*thinks is hot (only in relation to female characters, of course)
comment in response to

It reads as if it was all written by one guy who sees his opinion as law. This bias is painfully obvious when you see the sheer amount of unnecessary detail on what "he" (the one guy/hivemind) thinks is hot, and how certain features on women are treated like they're "objectively" less womanly.

I find the way TVTropes is written is really insufferable. For lack of a better way to put it, it's so male gaze-y when it talks about everything.
Plus there are so many instances of characters/events not actually fitting a trope, but the "tropers" will inaccurately twist them to fit one.

My teachers at art school told me "we don't want you making this because you're too attached to it." Now that's the reason I'm back to trying to make it.
In hindsight I understand now that they only wanted me to make what they told me to.

Oh jeez, that makes me glad I never got used to IG. I can't handle competitive/audition/cliquey stuff when it comes to art at all ...

Anyways big tech is all out of ideas, so they try to sell you shit no one wants or really needs or even works. But they’re very, very pushy and demanding about it to make you, or rather, people more gullible than you, buy into it. Don’t forget that.

Good to know J. Jonah Jameson believes I can make my comic.
