I don't mind this

i just wanna stuff something in i don't actually know what to push yet

To be "fair", it's a level of disgust that is trained by the experiences this topic is actually about - media has for decades been portraying trans women as disgusting figures and downright monsters. Even trans folks are raised with these teachings but we're actually forced to confront these feelings in the process of coming out.

Cis folks never have to do this, their disgust in trans people is something they can just go about their day with and never fully face those deeply seeded beliefs and examine why they have them.

It's only one thing and you know it's a potential issue for some people.

if the argument is that the act of withholding a fact people don't like is RAPE, then no you can't just apply that only to "being trans" and not any other reason that would be "a potential issue for some people"

conservative men hiding their beliefs is a much more pressing matter because it's something they will straight-up lie about and go on to form long-term relationships with someone who they know would be disgusted by their true self

If you're trying to make the argument that you must unpromptly disclose everything that could turn somebody off from sleeping with you, then your argument is that the rape rate is 99.99% of the non-virgin population.

Nobody's bringing home a hot date and then saying "before we do this you gotta hear my deepest darkest secrets, my voting record, all the porn mods I installed in Skyrim, and that I'm still totally not over my ex and will be thinking of her during sex"

if you don't wanna sleep with a trans woman then just mention how the thought of sex with one disturbs you and congrats she's not gonna wanna fuck (both out of disgust in you, and in fear for her own safety). certainly a much higher success rate than conservatives who will lie about their beliefs to get laid

ya go my deception

sounds like a super mario galaxy reference

Uhh not really, there's no shortage of other ways to identify if you don't meet the description of a-sexual.

because if there's anything that society treats acceptably it's various names for each specification of sexuality or gender

umbrellas exist for a reason: it's much easier to communicate to outgroups who don't understand anything. much like how some pan folk are known to just call themselves bi to straight folks because "it's easier to explain"

A lot of people ITT never watched Ace Ventura

or Jerry Springer, Maury, South Park, Austin Powers, Silence of the Lambs, Psycho... (the last two movies explicitly claiming their killers weren't actually trans themselves, but nevertheless that's the portrayal that viewers soak in)

we've always been present, just always negatively so: portrayed as disgusting tricksters if not full blown murderers

I've been privately exploring my gender since before my preteens, horrified at the thought of getting caught because even as a child I knew how people were treated for what I was doing. I myself couldn't even identify with the disgusting portrayals I saw in the media so it still took my late 20s to untangle the transphobia ingrained within myself to finally come out, despite having these secret feelings for as long as I have memories

getting to know actual trans people both personally and through improved depictions in the media helped me come out, but I was always trans

not even just the better shield surfing but you can even grind rails wtf

holy shit

I love jumping into open discussions on the internet and whining "dogpile" when two people respond to me

I think whatever BT did it happened on another board and we just randomly realized he was banned

*edit* looked up the archives and apparently I was the first to notice lol

looking over my ignore list and realizing Black Turtle was banned lmao woah finally, I didn't even know bans were an option for accounts that old

yeah SS has a lot of great content but also a lot of dumb annoying decisions you have to look passed

and for me personally yeah I'm pretty used to looking passed flaws if the game still offers a lot of good. lots of my favourite games are ones I can't suggest to others

FSA was awesome

I was kinda hype for Four Swords because of it when the Anniversary Edition for DSiWare was announced but I don't really remember being as engaged. Would definitely give it another shot coming to NSO though.

I was very disappointed the switch pro controller wasn't the same. Both sticks on top was great for smash.

agreed, but can't be surprised they keep consistency with the joycon scheme which fundamentally requires mixed sticks

... how in the absolute hell was that moddable

the fuck?

gamefaqs just hates pitbulls?

(my post is facetious but deserved because pitbulls are precious so the comparison is fundamentally pro-hitler)

never a good time to make a pro-Hitler topic, probably even worse in the fallout of recent shooting

I've never streamed pokemon games before because I can't stream (3)ds games and also if I caught a shiny using an emulator, it wouldn't count anyways because it would be stuck in Rom hell and I REALLY wanted to run into a shiny I can have

you're saying you can actually get them out?

legitimacy is still kinda wishy-washy since it is using a save editor after all which can easily tweak or duplicate them, but yeah with such tools you can just simply take the data that makes up your pokemon and export it into a retail copy's save

there's a whole bunch of these Pokemon save editors over the years and I can't really remember which is for what, like I said pokesav but also pkhex, pokegen, pksm... *shrug* it's been a while for me

I'm not sure how far into the pokemon generations these tools exists for, but GBA-3DS era are all still accessible for up-trading for now

hyped for final fantasy gone woke commentary

Animal Crossing sounds like the most pointless movie ever

there's already an anime one!

wait what the fuck how was that 2006

my first was a blue unown I found while emulating GSC... I think before the English version was localized

I didn't know shinies were a thing yet so I was real confused, but the fact it was emulated meant I wouldn't be keeping it anyways :(

... well I could've waited until pokesav technology came out and I could've converted it into a real game

Me wanting to see it happen overrides my opinion of Illumination. Sure I'm going to be super annoyed if an Ariana Grande song pops up in the middle of a Metroid movie, but at least there's a chance for a Metroid movie now.

Again, you are using another artistic discipline and VA is an especially interesting example, since that's a very high profile job but also doesn't really employ that many people.

When I think of the front line of AI disruption, it's jobs like paralegals, data entry professionals, customer service, etc. Jobs that are low profile and aren't very artistic but will suffer greatly from AI. Going a bit further and most white collar jobs from accountant to programmers will be at risk. Is it ethical in the future for a gaming company save money on VAs by using an AI software. What about if the same company saves money on filing taxes by using an AI software instead of hiring an accountant?

Are people outraged by AI disruption in general or just the artistic disciplines, specifically the high profile ones?

discussions on the impact of AI affecting white collar jobs is absolutely massive, yes, with plenty of arguments on whether or not jobs will be lost or simply change to integrate along side AI solutions

squexa posted...

I keep seeing these discussions in relation to art, but not other topics, even though artists aren't arguably even the most directly affected.

Is it ethical to use a customer service AI chatbot based on ChatGPT/Bard/etc that replaced a bunch of human operators? What about using a law office that replaced most of their paralegals/legal assistants with AI? What about using a website that makes money by using AI (trained on potentially non-open source/copyrighted material) to give targeted ads to its users?

Is it specifically art that people have ethical concerns about or do some people think AI (or AI trained on non-open source material) in general is unethical?

Art was the first conversation with the launch of so many applications like midjourney or novelAI but there are absolutely those same conversations in other fields

another big one is voice acting, as some companies have started asking VAs to allow their voice for training modules (to which many have said a resounding Fuck No). because a what then? the actor is no longer needed when you own their voice and can just make them say what you want

I can't see the argument that these implementations will create more opportunities when there are blatant cases like these where you're fundamentally getting rid of the need for actors. You can say oh they still have to manipulate the AI's voice just right but that's already a thing directors do guiding talents so what's actually added? and AI can certainly refine that to require less and less work
