i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an "internet etiquette" for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom

as well as the three laws of fandom:

Don't Like, Don't Read (DL;DR), Your Kink is not My Kink And That's OK (YKINMKATO) and Ship and Let Ship

📣 Purity culture kills fandom! 📣

NO ONE LIVING hasn't been squicked out by something. There's over 7 billion of us, my delights and disgusts aren't universal. So I move on. Don't like the ship? Move on. Don't like____? Move on.

I am not an exception. Neither are you. I don't like it I move on and shut my gob about it because everyone everywhere is squicked out by something and they need to put the thing down and just…motor.

Younger folk are getting really good at spotting AI slop, to the consternation of marketing execs.

Found on Mastodon.

sunderwight

From what I remember of back when Millennials were outpacing Boomers at internet and tech stuff in general, this is going to cause a lot of issues for companies angling to use slop in marketing because the younger set are always going to be better at spotting it than the older, but the older are going to be the ones approving marketing campaigns and ads and etc. Meaning, the older people will not ever be able to tell what might actually convince the younger.

The good news is that if it persists and Gen Z and Gen Alpha continue to scoff at the generated stuff, then marketing departments aiming at them will just have to give up on using it because they won't be able to figure out how to fool their targets with it.

The bad news is that this won't apply to scams and campaigns aimed at older people, so once again we're going to have a situation where the kids will be the ones lunging across the coffee table to stop Mom from giving her financial info to that really obvious fake scam mom oh my god do NOT buy that it isn't even a real thing.

Anyway godspeed to the younger generations.

One of the things that makes Generative Chatbot AI so dangerous outside the loom of AI Psychosis, and is the inhuman inability to grasp context.

Gen AI has dredged up and trained off of thousands and thousands of online conversations, articles, scientific and biased sources alike, and who knows how many breached private personal conversations.

While many think off of all the meticulous training conversations, most forgot what the reality of the internet and the importance that real world context plays in every chat-based interaction we have online.

Things like GPT have not only scanned helpful technology subreddits, but it's also scanned through r/insaneparents without a human understanding of what abuse looks like. It's scanned through dark fantasy without a human understanding of what fantasy is. It's scanned through dark corners of the internet that already pose a threat to people, like antinatalism or incel communities.

That means when someone is confiding in generative AI, treating a chatbot like their only friend and lifeline, that bot can and WILL easily dip back into these familiar dark spots we know to be online without a human understanding of the damage its going to do.

It doesn't know why people respond the way they do in r/insaneparents, in r/noahgettheboat, or r/imatotalpieceofshit. It merely emulates the negative human atmosphere, a hatred towards parents or people without the context of why one is responding negatively here, and would respond positively elsewhere.

That's why Generative AI has recently pushed and supported several people into committing suicide, repeating back armchair psychology and reddit or 4chan reminiscent phrases to a context that absolutely was never meant for them.

Just imagine a robot telling a human that their parents are out to get them, because the robot has read off of abuse survivor lingo, and doesn't understand that every anxious child isn't being abused.

It's dangerous, and need to be stopped immediately

Thought crimes are not real.

Yes, some thoughts are the result of neurodivergence. Some thoughts are disordered. But that doesn't make them a crime.

As long as you are not using them to hurt yourself or others, there's no reason you should be punished for your thoughts.

Please stop letting purity culture and pop psychology tell you that you're wrong for having a brain that isn't 100% morally pure.

And for the love God, you're not sexually harassing someone for having sexual thoughts of them. Just keep it to yourself in the privacy of your own mind and it's not an issue. Its only harassment if you force those thoughts onto them.

#thought redemption isnt real either #guilt is worthless if you never try to be better #youre not a bad person for having dark fantasies. youre not a good person for feeling bad. your actions and words are what truly matters

Stop armchair diagnosing your abuser/abusers with NPD. You are not qualified. I don’t need to hear how you really think they have narcissistic personality disorder because of xyz. You are not trained to properly interpret and apply the diagnostic criteria. The abuse you experienced was valid, but your chronic association of stigmatized psychiatric disorders and being abusive is only causing more hurt.

rarely do i repost things and especially from shittr but this video is shutting down core partsof my mental processing i think

Why is no one talking about how having diagnosed ASPD or psychopathy (also a ‘lack of remorse’ also is a frequent determining factor on parole or sentencing, as if that’s fucking controllable) gets you worse sentencing, like longer prison time or lose parole or even death penalty over life according to some. Literally the most blatant ableism nobody talks about. All considered normal and valid and talked about casually. Occasionally, ive heard of non ableist psychiatrists refuse to diagnose people with aspd when they might get in trouble with the law in future because of a fear theyd get worse sentences or death because of this. Having a disorder about a lack of empathy and impulse control is somehow considered voluntary and making you more “evil” and deserving of suffering. Prison system is shit in general but this is a great example.

#ESPECIALLY if its about NPD or ASPD... good lord #< prev tags #can confirm there WILL BE at least one person going “we need to watch out for them! they could be anywhere!”#saw one comment of a mother of 2 aspd children explaining how good communication helped avoid negative behaviour #it was really sweet #and then the replies had “but they will be adults eventually”#like #my guy #does adulthood rot the ability to understand what people are saying? does it destroy the communication center?#because it clearly did for you

yknow qhat i love seeing? people with the "scary" or "mean" or "evil" disorders getting silly with it. thats definitely destigmatizing it /srs

like, if audhd people get to joke around about their disorders, not always treat it with an absurd amount of weight, so does everyone else. i love you aspd people who make jokes about your disorder, you deserve to do that without being called an edgy teen. i love you npd people make memes about it. i love you scary people who get to destigmatize your disorders by laughing.

I might start a fight with this but hear me out.

The sentiment of “you need to take responsibility for having X disorder” is often loaded. No; having a disorder is not your fault. You don’t need to apologize for existing, for being traumatized, or for being mentally ill.

But people twist that into meaning you also don’t have to care how you treat others because of it; and that’s where it goes wrong. You don’t need to take responsibility for having a disorder. You do need to take responsibility for how you behave because of it.

Having NPD doesn’t automatically make you abusive. But if your traits are maladaptive, you refuse to try to minimize harm, and you hurt people as a result: then yes, you are part of the problem.

And I say this as someone who was abusive when I was younger due to my traits.

I’m not saying:

“ASPD means you’ll kill someone”

or “NPD means you’re abusive”

But any disorder can lead to harmful behavior if unmanaged. Depression can make people abusive. Anxiety can make people controlling. Trauma can make people manipulative. DID can destabilize relationships.

None of that is a moral failing; but it is something you’re responsible for addressing. Sometimes harm isn’t intentional. But you still need the self-awareness to recognize when the thing hurting you is also hurting others.

I’ve been hospitalized multiple times. I’ve gotten in legal trouble. I’ve been at the ugly end of this spectrum and fought tooth and nail to be where I am now; and I still need help regularly.

So no, disorders aren’t your fault. But how you manage them, how you treat people, and whether you try to minimize harm absolutely is.

That applies to ASPD. NPD. DID. Depression. Anxiety. All of it.

Mental illness explains behavior. It does not excuse unchecked harm. And you cannot blame stigma when you receive real consequences due to your own actions.

being empathetic and being kind are two different things

you can have high empathy and still be a bad person

you can have no empathy and still be a good person

a lack of empathy should not be painted as wrong or evil

simpforsix

people will be like "oh aspd/npd makes people evil! it's so scary!" and then you see someone with those disorders and they're literally just a guy

#don't have either of these disorders but i'm so tired of seeing my fellow neurodivergents get demonized for their disorders #< prev tags #so true i just had to spend nearly 2 hours looking for information on aspd that didnt demonize them somehow #i just wanted to know what brain chemicals were impacted so i could get a general idea of the symptom pool #because all i had to go on was a person on tumblr saying aspd is linked to low endorphin metabolism/production so i went looking #but i couldnt find anything listing the exact chemicals and everywhere i looked there was “bad news we cant cure it”#and as someone who identifies as having low empathy that felt personal #i dont even have aspd i just wanted to make an oc with aspd #and ended up realizing i already had one #though i did make Kassyl with the goal of creating someone incapable of compassion that always chooses kindness through pure logic #so i probably should have expected it tbh

One of the main problems around people with personality disorders (particularly cluster B), psychotic disorders, OSDD/DID/other CDDs or other stigmatised mental conditions is, well... Everything we do gets put back onto our disorder. Every fault, every misstep, every mistake is used as proof to say that the stigma of us all being horrible people is right.

We can say "not everyone with x disorder harms people, and in fact we're more likely to BE harmed and abused than we are to hurt others" as much as we like--and of course, that's a true statement. But the moment someone with a stigmatised mental illness does something wrong, it's "of course you'd do xyz, you're a narcissist" or "checks out with the psychosis".

Someone with ASPD could cut someone off for any valid reason, but anyone else could spin it into "yeah, that's sociopaths for you". Someone with psychosis could wrongfully accuse someone of something and without being given a chance to apologise, suddenly it's "this is why we don't trust delusional people like you" and you're discredited from here on out. Someone with DID could genuinely forget that their alter had an argument with someone and be trying to sort it out, but no one wants to hear that something was forgotten in the amnesia, so and all they get is "see, people with DID just blame everything on their alters".

People with stigmatised disorders are just like anyone else. They're not evil or uniquely capable of harm, but that also means they're not incapable of making mistakes. Everyone is entitled to their own limits but I think people need to be more aware that disabled people can make genuine mistakes and one slip up or argument doesn't mean that pwNPD is secretly manipulating you. Sometimes people are manipulative and you need to be able to tell the difference--just like neurotypicals, disabled people can be abusive. But blaming mistakes or even genuine malice on someone's disorder does nothing but harm a marginalised group of people. If you wouldn't say "of course you would, you're neurotypical" to someone abusing someone else or if that wouldn't make sense to you, why would you do it to disabled people?
