don’t forget during the WGA strike that animation is not covered under the WGA deals and as a result animation has gotten the shortest possible end of the stick in under-staffing, under-paying, and generally turning the field into gig employment.
please sign the petition here for Disney to recognize animation production workers as a union and reblog this post!
You know Dating Cis men has actually showed me something that makes me really mad. Yall are way to mean to guys, like regular guys. They are litterally so insecure and it makes me mad ok. i dont think we realise how much pressure they actually feel to be like ridicuously muscly in order to be attractive. We all keep saying that the beauty standards they are held to are "power fantasies" but i think just because its not what women actually find attractive about a guy doesnt mean that they dont feel like they have to meet that standard. not to mention there are lots of girls that do hold them to that standard.
i just think its absolutely crazy how mean we are to guys about their looks. and then theyre also made fun of for being insecure like all the time??? i see so many woke women tell men that they are ugly and worthless and then make jokes about men being insecure. like youre contributing to the problem?
i dunno its just heartbreaking when i tell a guy they are actually good looking and they dont beleive me. I think if we started complimenting and hyping up men more they might not always mistake it for flirting
I see a lot of people make posts along the lines of "why use AI when you can pay an artist," but nobody really provides an alternative for those who got into AI generators specifically because they're broke and don't know how to draw, but still want visual representations of their OCs.
The answer is dollmakers and avatar games. Hero Forge, Picrew, Doll Divine. Make a free account on Second Life or IMVU and use their character creators. Download the Sims 4 now that the base game is free. You have a lot of options, and they make great reference images if you save up to commission an artist later on. They may be limited, but are they any more limited than the AI generation process?
AI art is bad because it's art theft, not because it "has no soul" or whatever. People aren't trying to shit on your fun just for shits and giggles, or because they're trying to be elitist; people are upset because the AI is pulling from stolen art and stolen photos.
I am personally not interested in debating whether AI art is "real art," because that's secondary to the theft required to make the AI work in the first place.
