I love Rocky 3 with all my heart obviously but I feel like there could have been 1016282712 other ways to implement long hair on this character without it looking. Say it with me. Stupid as fuck

"so she's not allowed to be feminine" is such a braindead so you hate waffles reply to this. Bitch that's a whole new sentence.

Ice cold takes from a Transgender Woman:

  • Not all Men are evil
  • Everyone has the capacity for evil
  • Transgender Men are men
  • Transgender Women are women
  • Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)
  • Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement
  • Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators
  • Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"

Anyone can be

Non-Binary, there is no

“look” or requirement

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

You know what I think is really cool about language (English in this case)? It’s the way you can express “I don’t know” without opening your mouth. All you have to do is hum a low note, a high note, then another lower note. The same goes for yes and no. Does anyone know what this is called?

These are called vocables, a form of non-lexical utterance - that is, wordlike sounds that aren’t strictly words, have flexible meaning depending on context, and reflect the speakers emotional reaction to the context rather than stating something specific. They also include uh-oh! (that’s not good!), uh-huh and mm-hmm (yes), uhn-uhn (no), huh? (what?), huh… (oh, I see…), hmmn… (I wonder… / maybe…), awww! (that’s cute!), aww… (darn it…), um? (excuse me; that doesn’t seem right?), ugh and guh (expressions of alarm, disgust, or sympathy toward somebody else’s displeasure or distress), etc.

Every natural human language has at least a few vocables in it, and filler words like “um” and “erm” are also part of this overall class of utterances. Technically “vocable” itself refers to a wider category of utterances, but these types of sounds are the ones most frequently being referred to, when the word is used.

official linguistics post

being a hater and being a troll are different but idk how to articulate the difference

Trolling inherently involves another person. A troll is trying to waste your time and/or generate a reaction. It is entirely cynical.

Hating can be done in private, even monasticslly. But hating at a person is an invitation to banter. The goal is to hit that perfect funny/cutting/true sweet spot, and it's fun if the target of your hating can return with an equally funny/cutting/true comeback.

The comments

The misuse of the "insult to life itself" quote from Miyazaki on AI burns my yams so bad bc the original context is being disgusted with how a characters movements are dehumanizing to disabled people specifically bc of his empathy for a disabled friend and it's such a sadly rare sentiment, this cognizance of how we casually inflict indignity upon disabled people and how he finds it disgusting, I hate seeing it obfuscated

In the video he sees character animation where the presenter comments on how the AI can be used to model "grotesque movements humans can't even imagine." And Miyazaki immediately mentions that he thought of his physically disabled friend, who struggles with movement, with the implication being that what's "insulting to life itself" is the degradation of people like him to grotesque monsters. Regardless of my feelings about AI art I don't think it's worth obscuring this humane thought process to have a rhetorical weapon
