If you're using gen AI because "you want to make art but don't know how/can't learn/it's easier/whatever"

You don't want to make art.

You want someone to make art for you, but you don't want to pay or exchange anything of equal value for it, and also you want it right now, in whatever style you fancy that moment, and in whatever quantity you want. You're greedy and entitled and it is just that simple. You don't want to make anything.

Fyi, the idea of insinuating whether or not Pedro is queer isn’t really the problem, because yeah that can be a possibility and nobody should be having a problem with that cause it’s his life and if you do have an issue you’re just ignorant & need to check your internalized prejudice. The issue is that his sexuality, regardless of who he loves, is literally nobody’s business. Like people just constantly flip flop to whether or not he’s straight or gay based on who he’s next to, and that’s strange?? And it’s crazy that he has to be one or the other but he can’t just be bi or pan or anything else I mean cmon. Like remember when people were legit saying him and Lux were anything but siblings when they were seen together? Before it was Omar Apollo, like two weeks ago it was Jennifer Aniston, and now it’s Russell Tovey after those pictures from Pedro’s birthday.

Constantly picking apart his love/dating life when it makes him visibly uncomfortable and tense is a disservice to his work as an actor & also makes shit weird with his co-workers, friends, and family. And when you account the fact that he’s a man of color who’s constantly being sexualized regardless of what he does, it adds another dehumanizing factor to everything cause that’s the first thing people think/talk about when it comes to him. The point is, literally just stop talking about it, and yes that also includes queer people on twitter constantly calling him gay for viral content and straight people in the comments, white women especially, debunking that to feed their own delusions. Just leave him and the topic alone, and don’t just talk about this when it’s your fav involved as if this doesn’t impact literally everyone.

Also I'm gonna put this out there: some of the ways people jump to conclusions are REALLY fuckin culturally insensitive.

Modern day US white culture is so fucking TOUCH STARVED and so many people don't REALIZE IT. Now there are certain subcultures where it's more common. Theater folks, martial artists, yeah, but also my partner is Native and like according to him that's part of where him being such a hugger comes from. It's just a cultural thing, that's just a normal greeting when he sees another indigenous person from this continent. There are also cultures where it's just 100% normal to kiss your friends. And again, even some subcultures I've been a part of where you just kind of like... pile on each other and cuddle as a normal ass thing.

And people have decided to sexualize all that and not only is is a disservice to the people you're talking about, it's a fucking disservice to YOURSELF because WE ARE SOCIAL ANIMALS we were not meant to sit here freaking out and go "omg no homo" or whatever at the slightest bit of physical affection from people we care about but are not in a relationship with. (Keeping in mind I do understand there are people who are touch averse for other reasons - this is specifically about the cultural pressure to avoid touch you might actually seek out and WANT but don't because "oh that's reserved for your romantic and/or sexual partner".)

It's fucked up in so many directions and I need younger folks especially to know that even white US culture DID NOT USED TO BE LIKE THIS and I've watched the shift happen in my lifetime and it's maddening.

idk man I just feel like if you see somebody hugging and kissing and cuddling with a group of people and the ONLY way you can think to justify it in your brain is "omg this person is fucking all of them" we may be fundamentally broken as a society and we might want to course correct on that instead of leaning into it.
