oh im not opposed to tranny soros i just think that in the absence of one its really bullshit to scream about how everyone you dislike is just in it for personal and cynical reasons!
comment in response to post
do people really think the fucking war refugee detransitioned and began to write IN SUPPORT OF TRANSGENDER RIGHTS AND BODILY AUTONOMY for fucking CLOUT? for cold hard cash from Tranny Soros?? Do people REALLY think that's the grift or is it that they can't imagine a detrans woman deserving respect?
comment in response to post
it's genuinely insane how often the exact things that their collective work describes: Emma with her discussions on how detransitioners used as rhetorical objects and dehumanized, Talia and epistemic violence and the denial of transfeminine voices, play out against them over and over.

@taliabhatt.itch.io is incredibly open about how and why she works and it's infuriating to see time and time again that people remove context, attack credibility, and deny her a voice - a very common theme in her writing, proven again and again - and seeing her get attacked is fucking infuriating.

like straight up, i would not have the understanding of myself as a trans woman in nearly the same level of clarity and certainty if not for her. ribbing aside, she's genuinely one of the people who 'gets it' and can talk about the hardest questions and feelings around transness in a way few can.

and sometimes those fucking ants take those workers ON RAIDS WITH THEM. like they have fucking Ant Janissaries!! How the FUCK did ANTS invent THE JANISSARY??? And the ants they capture sometimes rebel and kill the young of their captors and fight back! It's fucking wild shit.

the Grendel frame is supposed to be read as kind of horrifying but it feels really like someone with a fetish for vore wasn't questioned TOO much and respected the company enough to not be too obvious, it revolves around swallowing enemies whole to gain armour and stuff

But people want a sign that's as obvious as The Hands from early days of genAI art, but the reality is that it's not simple anymore. The signs are subtler, and they can't be called out right away. You have to, surprisingly, actually respect and appreciate human creation to tell when something isn't.

the actual signs of AI are interesting: inability to stay on track OR an inability to move on, extremely mechanical word-choices that often ignore synonyms that could provide more impact, it's hard to describe to someone who doesn't 'get' writing but it feels like a blender-smooth acceptable result
comment in response to post
"GenAI uses em-dashes, REAL people don't write like that!" Yeah sure, I'd bet there's a low rate of em-dash usage on AO3 or twitter or facebook or discord, but maybe read something NOT written in a hurry or by a casual hand and you'll see a whole WORLD of proper formatting hitherto unknown!

it turns out the kink in question is actually just a deep and raw lust for metafictional academic works

this is true for a lot of details about a character from their favorite meal to their hobbies. writers crafting a world, a narrative and characters use various tools in order to immerse a reader into a story. “plot relevancy” is a shallow, hollow framework to decide what needs to be included

like AOC and Bernie and whoever the fuck you want to name hold the best shot at actually quelling "far left" sentiment the same way FDR did, yet the American capitalist class uses their media outlets to insist that really, Kyle the KKK Wizard and Joe "Curbstomp" McWhite are the voice of the people

I switched narrators for the third part of a trilogy but I think it paid off, Cora's simultaneously such a massive softie but also a deeply broken person, giving her the opportunity to destroy herself was too tempting I do feel genuinely bad about some of the things I put her though lmao
