go have fun dancing, there's always time to be silly as shit later!

sexual abuse has a weird pay to win mechanic and I don't like that

not to mention they really innovated getting the general populace more invested in hating people and spreading disinformation about minorities online on a cultural level that influenced elections

I honestly don't have anything good to say about the meta platforms after working with their trust and safety teams internally for reasons I can't say without getting sued into dust. There are tradeoffs. I'll just say I'm not on any meta platforms for a reason.

this fuckin rules

it's almost like their love of making number go up with engagement from people swarming other people trumps their love of shoving genAI down our throats at literally any opportunity.

kinda funny how none of these GenAI/LLM scumbags are using it to detect or pretend to care about this sort of thing, huh? Considering they love to use other bullshit they don't do much of either to defend shoving it up our asses at every opportunity where there's a large dataset.

basically means that platform holders will never use the same hostile design that they dissuade people from doing stuff that they legally have to allow, but doesn't benefit the platform holders/money makers, to dissuade people from mobbing users. Mobs make number go up.

imo more points of friction designed into platforms to slow down the swarming effect and the kneejerk reactions would do wonders. we know how to make it obnoxious to opt out of stuff like "I get to take all your data unless you jump through these hoops we deliberately make difficult", but capitalism

tbh I think it's just desperation for ANY power, people punch laterally constantly like this too on social media. the platforms basically encourage that kind of behavior with how they're designed, too.

and tbh I would bet that comes from people feeling generally disempowered with their lives and unable to get any traction on the real shit making them unhappy, so they swing at targets they stand a chance at actually hitting

I mean that take WAS a bit weird and creators are gonna continue to be people, and people do get to have opinions about it, it's just that weirdo mentality where people feel like they can't simply just not like something and need to make someone's life a living hell about it

I mean generally speaking, culturally we love screaming and "can I speak to your manager"ing with that "customer is always right" magic (which curiously never seems to extend to consumer protection from corpos somehow) so it wouldn't surprise me if we were worse than most other parts of the world.

unfortunately fan entitlement/internet weirdos seem to be on the rise literally fucking everywhere.

not a safe assumption, 4chan was modeled after 2channel and fandom/online harassment can be just as bad over there. idols have to take insane precautions with privacy, one of my favorite people on the japanese shows I watch got harassed for being brown until she killed herself

ah ok!

if I hadn't played it, how would I have ended up with the mural tattooed on me lol

Indochine - Memoria (Clip officiel) YouTube video by indochineVEVO

if you played disco elysium you've heard it a little though. I swear this part of the riff is in the soundtrack somewhere: youtu.be/DFcHoP7RgUs?...

the song that One Day I Will Return To Your Side is from is also just too damn good to not give it the little edge too

I was worried that one without context would read too much as "basic live laugh love white girl tattoo"

recession indicator

it was either gonna be this or "in dark times, should the stars also go out?"

if you haven't heard the song it's from, it's also a banger with a tragic backstory (Memoria by Indochine. Originally the band was founded by two twin brothers, one passed away tragically young and asked his brother to continue the band anyway. The lyrics in that context hit like a truck)

hey the bot did the one that's tattooed on me

damn it really is that on the nose

I think you could get away with an ironic or vintage Jolt cola apparel item just because that shit was part of mall goth culture

Audre Lord has some spectacular bangers

WHAT that's rad, what for?
