It’s seriously insane how hard people are working to misinterpret you, there’s no way people other than op are approaching this in good faith. You made it clear you’re not a tankie, these people just can’t stand the idea that their beliefs require proof or that there are people who aren’t swayed by rhetoric alone (edit I def thought this was a tankie comment at first, that’s how it sounded at first but you’ve made it abundantly clear that’s not what it is)

“You’re trying to prove a negative, they should just realize that” “they should just” is a pointless take to have on anything. people will never “just”, they need convincing, and different people are convinced by different things. It’s a tough subject to research, you’ve got one side claiming they’re all nazis that deserve to be conquered and another that thinks they’re all saints and can do no wrong, and I don’t blame people at all for wanting evidence that the very real nazi groups in Ukraine aren’t representative of everyone there, or even the whole military

Feels a lot to me like “Well imagine if you were gay in Gaza”. Whether or not there’s a lot of shitty elements to their culture, imperialist aggression is evil and civilians don’t deserve to be killed and have their homes and children stolen, and the side you support should be perfectly clear from that alone (I say all this knowing I’m probably more likely to be hate crimed for being gay in Ukraine than Gaza, because again, a country having a lot of nazis doesn’t excuse invasion and ethnic cleaning)

That’s probably true of most things people think/say about the IDF at this point. Even my massively zionist “most moral military” aunt is calling it a genocide and is starting to oppose them

It is, hence the downvotes. Liberals look at what we did to North Korea and Vietnam during the war and think “we should’ve gone harder bc they’re evil communists”. Also apparently they just don’t give a shit about trying not to start another world war

Hey look, a liberal that doesn’t like queer people! Who could’ve guessed :D

What’s good about the Tulsi Gabbard here? Unless you just mean she (like all the Trump appointees) is the worst person for the job and it’ll make the country collapse faster lol

Be careful licking the CyberBoots, they corrode and explode if you look at them wrong

A perfectly guided opinion. You do get why the CEO likes Trump and left the fediverse while staying on Twitter, right?

Btw tell me why they left mastodon and bluesky, and why they’re still on Twitter. gimme a good reason that isn’t him being a Nazi

Found the Nazi :D

You know sucking off CEOs won’t make them treat you any better than anyone else right?

“No you don’t get it! Supporting trump isn’t really supporting trump! Just bc the CEO likes Trump’s policy and endorsed him doesn’t mean he endorsed him!”

Normal people don’t jerk off Trump like that. Dude is blatantly a Nazi, if you can’t see it that says a lot about you

I used to think drag was just a troll account making fun of neopronouns, but I don’t think that’s accurate anymore. Dragon Rider used to go by Dragon Fucker and uses “drag” as drag’s only pronoun, and like I used to, a bunch of people thought drag was just a troll. But if it’s a bit then there’s nothing to the bit other than a weird pronoun, drag just seems like a decent person from what I’ve seen. Drag also made a very genuine looking post about drag’s struggles with mockery and disrespect, mainly from .world users and admins, and drag’s struggle to avoid self harm over it. I think Dragon Rider is a cool person and people (including me) should give drag the benefit of the doubt, or at least avoid drag and don’t be an asshole if you don’t like drag.

I think drag also once told someone who was feeling suicidal about the state of the world that they should fight rather than killing themself, and a bunch of people took it in cartoonishly bad faith and now say drag told someone to kill themself. Bc nothing screams “kys” quite like “don’t kys, you can do some good”

No idea, I saved the pic from somewhere else :c

For example I’m gonna preorder the new Fatal Fury game even though I’m not super confident in SNK to put out a functional game, but I know it’ll have fun gameplay and worst case scenario it’ll get fixed in a while. Being able to download early is worth for me even if I won’t download in time to play early, and worst case scenario it’s completely nonfunctional and I just refund it until it works

I almost never preorder any game I’m not 100% sure I’ll play no matter what. Sometimes I’ll do it with online games in 90% sure on bc my internet is horrible and I like being able to get started on the download asap

Wrong community for this. Idk of a lot of PC game (or general game) communities, but you should post this there

BTW if you unironically think that original art inspired by previous works is actually comparable to a computer scraping and slapping random bullshit together, you don’t know jack shit about art or the “AI” you so desperately need

Hey if you can’t actually make a solid argument for why “AI” is actually fine, there’s always calling the other person insane :D your use of an LLM isn’t any better or less cringe just bc you don’t use chat gpt, you’re still outsourcing your thinking and decision making to a computer, and you still use a fuck of a lot more power than you should on something that is ultimately stupid and pointless. Your life was fine before “AI”, why are you acting like this is some good or helpful or necessary thing at all?

None of the things I mentioned are even close to as horrible as AI is in those ways. Either you’re being disingenuous bc you think you need chat gpt to think for you, or you just have no idea at all what “AI” is and really need to do a lot of research on how harmful it is. Comparing CGI render farms to AI servers? Comparing human inspiration and paid for asset packs to a computer rearranging existing, stolen art? You’re not serious are you?

Remind me how much electricity production lines, phonographs and CGI use, or how much they rely on art theft simply to exist, or how they pose as an expert on a subject and feed people misinformation, or how they allow people to literally stop thinking and let it write everything and form every opinion for them?
