I feel like too many people are trying to make the next home PC, the next internet, the next iPhone. The thing that comes out of nowhere and changes everything.
And the world is looking for the next Volkswagen. That is, something affordable that works. We're so tired of expensive shit not working.
Going after queer people online for having benign kinks that hurt nobody is especially frustratingly dumb when the world is being ran by pedophilic, rapist sex traffickers who probably won't face real consequences
Like, the trans woman with the fictional incest kink is not your enemy.
Great piece that reiterates something everyone who is not a weird bay area freak or sucked into the AI hype cycle understands implicitly. There's no magic left, these people have barren imaginations.

Last time it was an esports channel in 2020 that failed so hard it resorted to banning people for talking about war crimes & now they are trying again with a US Navy vtuber

Remember struggling young adults, the recruiter will not only lie to you, they are encouraged to!
They will tell you that you get a specific role, they are lying!
They will tell you that YOUR training "won't be that bad", they are lying!
Once you sign they don't give a FUCK about you!
Every time some online rando thinking they're progressive yells about how moral you can tell someone is by what un-problematic media they consume I crash out in my head because they're so chronically online they completely forget that's how the entire Evangelical Christian abuse hemisphere operates.

An alteration of a digital infrastructure meme, depicting blocks of various sizes stacked on top of each other. The entirety is grouped together with the label of "all modern digital infrastructure". A very small peg in the lower right corner upon which the entire mess rests is labeled "trans catgirls".
