I see so many arguments over what is and isn't "good queer representation" that really just boil down to "y'all are actually arguing over matters of taste and genre preference, which is incredibly subjective and personal."

Worldbuilding where being queer is normalized and queerphobia has no impact on the plot? THAT'S FINE. Worldbuilding that includes queerphobia and tackles the effects of it as part of the story? THAT'S ALSO FINE.

Low-stakes queer romcom where the characters are fluffy and cute? THAT'S COOL. Messy queer drama with toxic people who fuck each other over and clash repeatedly? THAT'S ALSO COOL.

Stories that center the characters' queerness, show a trans character's transition, and are about the queerness as much as the rest of the plot? AWESOME. Stories where the characters' queerness isn't treated as a big deal, and have trans characters whose transition happened before the story entirely? ALSO AWESOME.

You may PREFER one thing or another, but it is actually good to have all these things. It's about variety. It's about queer characters being allowed to exist without censorship. It's about queer artists getting to make things without being told we're a "niche issue" or "adult content." It's about having as many goddamn cakes as the bakery can produce.

At the end of the day, I'd prefer a media landscape with fifty pieces of problematic queer representation over a media landscape with one single piece of queer representation that's trying (and usually failing) to be 100% perfect for everything and everyone.

Cooking horror game where you play as a cook working in the galley of a ship in the 1800s. There’s some kind of supernatural nautical horror story going on in the background but you barely notice this because you spend all day cooking in the galley.

As the game goes on you have to cook for fewer and fewer people but their orders--and the ingredients they bring you--become increasingly unhinged

I think “gamers” don’t deserve Early Access, tbh

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

Is early access an excuse to release an unfinished product sometimes? Yea, for sure

But like. Functionally it serves as a way for live experience testing to be done on a game. It’s a way to dial it in on what people want, and on how to best make the game.

This means that, stars above, you don’t need to fucking review bomb it the second there’s a problem, you have avenues for giving feedback, stop saying the game is doomed because there’s been one bad update ffs

This brought to you by the embarassing state of people talking about both Slay the Spire 2 and Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core

Super early Father’s Day art. More doodles to come, featuring different stages of Charlie’s life!

The two panel’s silhouette are suppose to be old fashion cameras and a journalist from the early 19th century. Was too lazy to actually draw them out, but they look hella confusing without details. Oh well! There’s more to come so stay tuned.

I hope you all like it.

Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou

[ayeforscotland]

Let’s fucking go

[made-in-manetheren]

This is HUGE.

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.

TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.

[reasonsforhope]

Additional source and more details below. Absolutely thrilled to say that this is real. And yeah, it's huge.

For all the reasons above AND ALSO because this particular lawsuit is a defamation case

Privacy lawsuits are hard because most privacy laws are super super weak, and there's very rarely a lot of money or enforcement backing privacy laws for...twenty million reasons, really...

But defamation suits? Those have teeth.

(In large part because, at least in some countries and including in the US, defamation laws protect public figures the least - and "public figures" legally includes most if not all politicians, and a hell of a lot of other rich ppl too)

A Munich court ruled Google's AI Overviews are its own words, making it liable for false claims, a decision that, if it holds, could reach e

A German court has ruled that Google can be held directly liable for false claims made by its AI Overviews, a decision that could put a serious legal dent in the whole “the AI made me do it” defense. According to The Next Web, the Regional Court of Munich issued a temporary injunction after Google’s AI Overviews wrongly tied two Munich publishers to scams, subscription traps, and dubious business practices. The court treated those AI-generated summaries as Google’s own statements, not just ordinary search results pointing to third-party pages. That distinction matters. Search engines have traditionally had more protection because they index and link to other people’s content. AI Overviews changes the machinery. Google is not just showing the web anymore. It is summarizing it, rewriting it, and sometimes apparently hallucinating a tiny legal grenade into the results page.

I like how Mark & his team were able to work in the frog (it’s called “frog” in the game files) from the ending of the game into the movie, by having it’s blank white eye rush past Simon in the nightmare sequence.

I love how they were able to expand on and explain oddities in the game such as “why does the SM-13 -a cheap burner sub- have a valuable computer system in it?” To download the blackbox data from the SM-8!

“How can the camera take pictures if light can’t pass through blood?” It uses X-Rays instead!

“Wouldn’t that mean it slowly irradiates Simon every time it’s used?” Yes!

“Wait, doesn’t that also mean that it would only show the bones of a creature, and not the whole thing; meaning you can’t tell if it’s alive or dead?” Also yes!

This movie‘s attention to detail is insane. 10/10.

With dsmp fans resurging I wanna remind everyone one of my favorite moments—

That one time Phil left Techno's front door opened, a creeper walked in and blew up his living room

Phil frantically trying to pick everything up and shove them into chests before they despawn and looking at the tutorial Techno used, trying to fix it block by block, he had to dig around Techno's storage desperately for extra white concretes, and the cherry on top, all of Techno's fanarts and signs with artists' names were also blown up and on the ground, then ranboo walked in and got roped into fixing the art like it's four different puzzles' worth of pieces in a chest mixed with maps

Techno is online, his dogs in the living room, without the boat, teleported to him

They're running out of time

Which way was the stairs above the front door facing

Fuck it's dark oak and not spruce

[puckishshsh]

Let's just call 'em pickaxe duo

This is NOT a ship (oh god, please no). One — and two — Techno is just a character here, not a real person. I don't want any beef or anything. I just love Techno and D3rlord3. Appreciate you understanding

I've had this conversation 4 times this week but characters in stories aren't SUPPOSED to be bluntly verbally confronted by other characters about their bad behavior. The writers aren't supposed to turn to the audience and just say "this is abusive and here's why," that's for basically toddler shows.

I get that a lot of people naturally have difficulty with non-literal communication but in *serious* storytelling, the morality of the characters is supposed to be "addressed" symbolically and wordlessly. If a character is mean, and then gets eaten by a dinosaur, that *is* supposed to be enough acknowledgement that they were an asshole. The author, their god, metered out karma.

I scrapped a much longer post about this but it's only mostly in kid's media, and frankly only recently, that characters explain in words what was right or wrong about one another's actions, and that only happens because Disney Channel forces the writers to shoehorn that in against their will. Writers expect you to be smart enough to already know right from wrong, and the "justice" experienced by characters is often expected to be partially or completely meta.
