The Gods On My Shoulders Make Bad Puns

i think probably at least on a personal level the driving force behind the desire to be cursed demonically kidnapped and eternally forced into a sexual servitude that erodes my very essence by a demonic entity immune to my pleas or even my basic comprehension is more than anything a labor-avoidant fantasy based both in the desire to remove the toil of work and the inability to conceptualize a whole and intact self which does not work, necessitating the theoretical destruction of the soul in order to reckon the removal of obligation with the continued existence of (even torturous and inescapable) pleasure (see Max Weber, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism: a Classic Study of the Fundamental Relationships Between Religion and the Economic and Social Life in Modern Culture, trans. Talcott Parsons (London: George Allen & Unwin Ltd., 1930)). however the horns are at least in part also a factor

The #Ownvoices discourse has done a lot of harm in the queer community. Queer authors have been pressured to come out before they are ready, and people who may never have the opportunity to publicly discuss their own identity are discouraged from exploring queerness in their art. As if exploring queerness through art isn't meaningful and important no matter the public identity of the artist.

Also it is absolutely ridiculous to think that we can deem a work from a country where queerness is illegal less legitimate because the author has not chosen to publicly disclosed their identity. Authors who were forced to hide their names because of government crack downs on queer art have been questioned for not being openly #Ownvoices.

I'm passionate because I have experience with this issue. I was questioned as to whether I could write about trans people, while I had been out as genderfluid in my personal relationships for years. I just didn't think it was a strangers business. If not for pressure from outsiders, I may have had a better experience coming out on my own terms, but some of y'all ruined that for me.

#Ownvoices is useful as a marketing term for the people who want to use it, but it is not the barrier art must cross to be deemed "queer enough".

This is literally what people are talking about when they say AI will be used to mainstream widely held bigotry. LLMs are trained on frequency and probability -> straight relationships are more well represented in the dataset -> straight pronouns and terms become the "correct" normal.

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

Combine this with the mass of people inclined to believe (and being encouraged to believe) that if AI says and does something it must be correct

SWORDTEMBER DAY 13: PRIDE

Divine Transmutation, of blessed change and truest form 🏳️‍⚧️⚧️ Cold sun falls on my face, dancing in bright patterns through the water. In my chest I feel an ache, unlike anything I’ve felt before. The water is all I’ve known, cold, and dark, hidden from those that might seek to hurt me. I swim towards where it’s safe, where I am fed, left to exist. The deep blue surrounds me, and the ache grows, suffocating, choking, my legs thrash, up to the light. I feel air on my skin, and gasp, filling my lungs. For the first time, I feel myself breathe. 

Trans sword trans sword !! Surprised I haven’t made one of these before :3
