do you ever think that they must hate their fans, behind all the flirting for show, for 2019?

I think it's a question lots of fans wonder. is the idol really love them or is it just in order for him to stay famous and successful.

well, they do love their fans for the reason the fans admire them, give them strength in concerts, encourage them with sweet words etc. so yeah it's hard to not like. also them talking with their fans did seem genuine.

however, about the anties fans… I do think mx see them as bad apples.

but because they are still a "monbebe" (and kmbb) they do have to treat them cautiously. mx seak only peace with their fans. I think minhyuk and ck did try to deliver they don't appreciate some behaviors. wonho as a soloist has to deal with a real shitty fan a lot and even said that the ones who talk badly at him are not even considered wenees.

I do think the company, and other kpop compeny limits their freely and expression.

like how almost every kpop idol doesn't talk politics or about his sexual origin. the company whats the idols to stay on the safe spot. even as trainee they are always been filmed cause this is the way the company educates them to get used to it. reminds them they should watch their words always. they even gave lectures to those they saw as needed.

anyways, I think mx and wonho love their fans but really upset with anties and wish them to be gone, still have to be nice to them. like working at a coffee shop and some costumer acts badly but you still have to give them service and be polite. (but in kpop it's even worst) I think company has a full hand with the sorry letters they gave. it's just something that happens in every company and it's their way to solve things by saying "sorry. you are right. sorry.".

mx and wonho have been through big traumas and just wants peace of mind. so they rather hang out with wonho privately and not answer to anties. they were fighting very hard for their career and just don't think it's not worth going against some anties for now. they just know the result could end badly. and I bet they themself don't want to apologize again. of course there's a lot of behind the scene that we just don't know of. once were carefree, now more careful. 😞 hope their future would be filled with lots of good memories 💙

Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist). As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.

(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)

the only reason why ten year old girls are destroying stupidly overpriced products at sephora to make “skincare smoothies” is because they aren’t being given access to a yard with a variety of mud, sticks, rocks, puddles, and old ceramic planters to make potions in. the children yearn for the apothecary

Oh damn the Catholics have joined in on the war against AI "art".

Not feminist as in "women should be included in the draft" but feminist as in "being drafted is a violation of bodily autonomy for any gender".

The draft should not exist. Drafting people into the military is a violation of human rights. You should not be able to force someone to risk their life. If you can't find enough people who care about a conflict to keep it going then it simply shouldn't keep going. You can't even force someone to donate a kidney using government power, why the fuck can you force them to donate their whole body and life to a cause they don't agree with or don't care about?

Found this on pinterest had to put it here

Tradwives need to realize the seriousness of the shit they are getting themselves into.

The society isn't all that kind to women.

this reply kills me 😭 article link

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

“You shouldn’t self-ID as ADHD/autistic, you’re turning a very real mental condition into a trend” Ok then stop saying delulu. Stop speculating on which cluster C personality disorder the criminals you hear about on the news have. Stop saying “schizoposting” and “acoustic” and “is it restarted?” Stop using “psycopath” and “sociopath” as catch-all ways of calling someone a bad person. Stop saying “the intrusive thoughts won” when you bleach your hair and then turn your nose up at people who suffer from very real, very scary urges of physical/sexual violence. Stop saying “I’m so OCD” as a way of calling yourself neat. Stop treating BPD/ASPD/Bipolar as inherently abusive. Stop saying “OP I am living in your walls” without tagging for unreality. Stop diagnosing complete strangers you’ve never met on r/AITA with NPD.

You first. If you don’t want our disabilities to be treated like trends then stop belittling and minimising them. I’ll NEVER judge a person for trying find labels for their symptoms when an apathetic, racist, sexist, ableist healthcare system refuses to. But I will absolutely judge a hypocrite. Which a lot of you are

If you ever needed proof that the new hate crimes laws are a good thing lmao

Activists in Tasmania have stuck up more honest promo stickers inside Coles & Woolworths stores, the two dominant supermarket chains in Australia.

Begging people to stop reblogging this AI trash from “The Phantom Painter” on Instagram (instagram.com/phantom.painting). I’ve been seeing it on my dash more and more often from people who are otherwise anti-AI and either can’t tell it’s AI or don’t care because it looks cool.

This is the kind of shit that is VERY CLEARLY trained on the works of existing talented artists’ with distinct styles and this asshole is selling prints and making a profit off of stealing other people’s hard work.

Don’t give people like this money or attention and they will go away.

Please, if you’re going to buy art prints, buy them from an actual artist.
