Such news frustrate and discuss me so much, I literally can not.
This shit is dystopian, AI was never meant to create art, it will never be able to.
a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted
their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"
"Every writer"?
come on
Any time I catch myself thinking it's weirdly specific that stories involving the beheading game were an entire genre of medieval literature, I remind myself that the TV Tropes page for media where the cast get shrunk really small and go inside someone's body in a tiny submarine is at the time of this posting nearly 300 entries long

I think perhaps my hottest radfem take is that gay men are not our allies. Not wanting to have sex with women does not make them less dangerous than men who sexualize us, it makes them arguably worse.
Gay men use womenโs bodies as โperformance artโ with drag. They colonize black womenโs language as their own. They insidiously occupy our spaces under the guise of safety because they claim they have no interest in us sexually, and yet ignore our boundaries when we exclude men from certain activities or places. And they behave as if being gay absolves them of their role in oppressive systems, especially if they are white.
Gay men do not stand for women, even for lesbian women. They stand for themselves, because they are men, and as such will always value class solidarity with other men above womenโs liberation.
My essential argument is that men will be men, regardless of their sexuality. Do not allow gay men to claim innocence when their interest in women is exploitative instead of predatory.
