People Love To Pretend Ai Is A Neutral Ground When It Comes To Art. "Ewwww! Artists Cost Money! We Don't

People love to pretend Ai is a neutral ground when it comes to art. "Ewwww! Artists cost money! We don't have the ability to pay them, so we'll just generate it!" I'm not afraid of saying any human art is better than any ai generated image because it has soul! Had this exchange blurred his name because even if he was a dick and kept calling me kiddo (reddit behavior) I am not after his head.

He wants to white knight for ai so whatever at the end of the day. He's just a fool who doesn't know what it means to be an artist, but this entire kicking up of sand got the creator to make a pinned comment here:

Seriously, I know art isn't easy, but giving up and just generating it is quitting. The towel is thrown in before the game starts.

An artist friend told me that in order to get better, you have to try. Pick up a pencil, a stylist, anything! You can do it if you put your mind to it, and while I'm still not where I wanna be, I encourage everyone to try.

I've never wanted to draw out of pettiness before, but I'm not going to draw it because artists aren't free, and they shouldn't need to be for people to consider commissioning them

We are well beyond canary in the coalmine warning levels with the way trans people and particularly trans women are treated on this site.

Maybe you've heard the metaphor of allowing wolves and sheep to share the same space, welcoming everyone. You end up with just wolves because allowing them in that space makes it unsafe for any sheep. Or the story about how a nazi goes into a dive bar and is refused service. The bartender then explains to someone else at the bar that if you serve them once they tell their friends and before you know it you're the nazi bar they all go to and normal customers don't feel safe.

Terfs and other bigots are seeing these targeted harassment campaigns succeed against trans women and rejoicing. They see Tumblr ban them and officially stand by those decisions as endorsement for their harassment. It's a sign to bigots across the internet that Tumblr is a good place for them.

And what's more is that a lot of us probably don't realize just how much trans women contribute to Tumblr. The women banned recently were sources of site-wide memes and posts I wasn't even aware originated from them.any years old memes and references can be traced back to trans women on this site.

How many of these folks have to be removed before this is no longer a site you want to be a part of it? Sure you cultivate your own experience, but you can't follow or interact with people who aren't here. And if I wanted to interact with the nazis and terfs I'd go to reddit.

I encourage everyone to reblog this. Trans women shouldn't have to be the only ones speaking out against the bigotry they're experiencing. They shouldn't be the only ones risking their blogs being nuked by staff. We have to stand with them.

D&D was very fun these past two sessions!

While the whole party found out that I'm a spy sent by a rival dragon to observe them, only one found out the truly terrifying secret in the other session.

"I'm not just a simple bard... I was made for this."

"I've been tasked with getting information...any way I can."

Skimble

I haven't posted in a bit. I've been too excited for an upcoming con to post lol

But I did give 'drawing a Kobold' a chance. That went like this:

This is Mamimi, my white Kobold girl. She's the party bard who speaks very cryptic but also quite poetic words. She uses her bardic exterior to sway out information from people but is currently following orders from her Master (I'd say if I wanted to spoil) [Some of them use Tumblr and could find me on accident lol]

She has got quite a few little details that fall more in line with her true identity, but I'll say that when/if they find out ;)

OH MY GOODNESS! LOOK AT IT

*screams*

A couple doodles + A full piece!

(Featuring a self-insert, just in case it's not someone's cup of tea)

How it probably felt for Siffrin when I played (This went on for several loops):

And a funny just because I enjoy the meme

And lastly, the full piece!! (I'm super proud of this one, I never draw backgrounds poses like this and I a a a a a a aa a)

[TOLD YOU I'D LEARN TO DRAW HER WHEN I STOPPED BEING A COWARD!]
