They call it House of Leaves because I get scared of the House and then I leaves it

let's say that you died and were replaced by an impostor who lied so convincingly in its portrayal of the real you that it genuinely believes itself to be you. would that be fucked up or what?

yeah

i uh i didn't have anything else

me neither. it would be fucked up

yeah that's crazy

There’s a poll asking if people have ever used ChatGPT, and I think the responses are kind of silly.

Really? No, it’s hyperbole. But, you know, indicative of a strong attitude nonetheless.

Yeah, yeah, this is tumblr, we threaten murder casually all the time, but this seems a bit much.

Okay, here’s where we get into me being a little silly too, but I love the capitalization here because it’s very Biblical. This user hadn’t eaten from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. They didn’t Know that using ChatGPT was a sin.

Okay, repeating the religious theme.

Ah, yeah, ChatGPT required for class. Famously, it’s important to learn absolutely nothing about the tools you oppose and that are being used by other people in the world around you. The morally best thing to do here is commit academic misconduct rather than learn about ChatGPT.

I just think it’s silly to have this strong a reaction to an algorithm. It’s inputs and outputs. Inputs!!! And outputs!!! You give it something, it processes it in a specific way and returns it to you. That’s all that happens when you use ChatGPT.

ChatGPT may be overhyped, damaging to the environment, and contributing to unfair labor practices and the spread of misinformation, but like. so are smartphones.

This website often has very strong opinions on what is the Morally Correct thing to do, and it’s hard to tell sometimes whether this is born of genuine self-policing or social posturing to seem Morally Correct. Either way, I don’t think this response is necessary.

not to be a killjoy but it's still crazy to me that it's considered mean to be like "maybe you should read / play / watch the source material before creating fanworks and diving into the fandom" bc every time i see somebody going "i havent played disco elysium or know anything about it tbh but uwu here's harry and kim kissing" idk maybe you should engage with it. maybe you should play the anti-capitalist surrealist game where you investigate the murder of a mercenary who led the gang rape of a foreign girl and process that for a bit? and then you can do cutesy mlm or whatever idc. but like at the absolute bare minimum you should understand what the source material involves otherwise we get the phenomenon of people joining a dragon age server and wanting content warnings for like, mage racism. like it's fine to ship and transform the genre into whatever but if you arent comfortable with discussions of the actual source content itself then maybe the fandom isnt for you and a different one is. peace and love.

actual peace and love would involve letting anyone who wants to do things do them, without judgment.

I don't think there is anything unreasonable about the idea that if someone isn't comfortable with actual discussions of the source material they should probably not insert themselves into the fandom. And I struggle to see how this has anything to do with ableism as per your tags.

Well, when you demand a certain amount of effort to be input before you consider someone's creative work valid, that's ableist.

The issue at hand isn't one of the validity of transformative works (and I agree with you there that art doesn't derive meaning or validity from the amount of "effort" poured into it) but of fandom social dynamics and the very simple fact that people involved in a fandom will find people who have not engaged with the source material yet insist on inserting themselves into the fandom annoying. This user articulated it well imo and I'm tired right now:

Unfortunately it's still gatekeeping and still ableist.

The gate is wide open. You are being invited to read/play/experience the source material and discuss it. There is no resource or community you are being denied access too.

Actually, there is. When you demand that someone put in a specific amount of effort, that is gatekeeping. That's the definition. "You have to do this first" is gatekeeping and is ableist. It doesn't matter if the thing you're asking them to do is a little or a lot. It's the action of asking at all. When you say, in effect, "you need to do homework before you interact with this fandom", then... yeah. Yeah, man, that's gatekeeping. That's ableist to do. That's denying something-- recognition, access, interaction, respect-- to people until they perform for you. In this case, what you're asking is for them to interact with the source material to your satisfaction.

Why do you hate disabled people?

I'm sorry but your position is really indefensible. You are approaching the whole concept of ableism through an extremely individualistic framework and your resultant analysis is extremely shallow. If a group of people have gathered together to discuss a certain piece of media and someone wishes to insert themselves into that conversation to talk about something completely different, such as their impressions of said media based on absolutely nothing, then being turned away from that group has nothing to do with ableism and is in fact a completely understandable reaction to what is extremely antisocial behavior.

no you do have to be interested in f/f pairings and if not you will be executed
