kill the imposter syndrome in your head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they’re also using chat gpt to do it
Starting a new sports team called the Tampa Bay Trespassers and they play any sport that they can break onto the field of
As far as I’m concerned, pokemon villain writing peaked with Guzma. Legitimately worried about the erosion of culture due to hyper-tourism surrounding their sacred rites and practices. Abused as a child, ran away from home to start his countries only youth hostel for similarly troubled kids, and funds it with crime. Bug type specialist, with an ace that is mostly known for its first stage being cowardly. Cultivates a big scary persona as a defense mechanism to protect himself and his members, no one can beat big bad Guzma, so they don’t have to be afraid anymore. His grunts trust him enough to ask him for help when they screw up, despite the fact that they all come from troubled homes. Was so significant that pokemon switched from having cartoonishly evil bad guys and teams to the current model of “sympathetic and understandable antagonist that has some very good points, even as they oppose the protagonist, and is in some way actively doing good in their community by supporting those who are the most in need of assistance, due to some legitimate failing of the current system.” There is a cartoon villain looming behind him, but they’re a twist and not the main team presented. Everyone wants to be him, but they can never replicate the perfection that is this man.
Thank you for your service Guzma
Sometimes you read a fic where the author is clearly and intentionally writing dead dove content like:
These garbage boys are going to torture and gaslight each other until they’re inextricably intertwined 😈 they are going to make each other the most fucked-up and worst versions of themselves 🔪 they will be so codependent and broken they will never be able to be with anyone else after ☠️
And, like, this is probably written by a pretty normal, well-adjusted person. Genuinely. The dove is dead but the author knows that the dove is dead because they killed the dove. On purpose. Gleefully. They were like “wouldn’t it be fucked up if…” and then wrote the if.
But then sometimes you read a fic where the author is like:
uwu these soft boys are soooo cute and in love 🥰 they’re so sweet and pure and good 💕 I just want them to be cutesy-wutesy and in lurveeee forever 😍 this is my new fic about soft boys being soft 💋 this is the height of romance 😘
And then the fic is. Not. The relationship is THE must fucked up, manipulative, passive-aggressive shit show where both characters are being awful to each other, but in the most socially-acceptable heteronormative way where you could 100% picture a friend of a friend telling you this bizarre story at a party while you’re sitting there like wow 😬 straight people are wild who acts like that?
I don’t read fics like that often, but whenever I do I’m always like................... 👀 you good? You doing okay? You seem to think this kind of behavior is, uh. Normal. And, uh, romantic? But these characters certainly seem to hate each other. Not in the narrative, in the narrative they’re super in love somehow but uhhh. Um. You good?
There is such a chasm between people writing something fucked up on purpose vs someone writing something fucked up on accident. And the latter is where things are not tagged properly, and they’re infinitely more disturbing imo.
roach-works was a notorious underage + incest + rape fanfic writer and all of those are still up for everyone to read on their ao3
What's wild to me is that years and YEARS ago I got an anon telling me that roach-patrol was an Actual Real Life Rapist Pedo, and that ask cemented my early belief that I should never give a fuck about what anons have to say to me about other people, ever.
And now I find out that the very same anon is still around? Still messaging random people on tumblr?!
Holy crap that's some entirely unnecessary nemesis level dedication. Do you sleep with a photo of roach-patrol's icon beside you on your pillow too
yeeears ago, in what felt like the early days of tumblr transphobes figuring out that the real trick to getting everyone to blacklist trans people as irredeemable sex criminals was to stop trying to convince everyone that being trans was a sex crime and start trying to convince everyone that writing fanfiction about cartoons was a sex crime, someone tried to link me to a roach callout post
a third of the links just were just broken and went nowhere
a third of the links were rabbitholes where they linked to a post that linked to a post that linked to a post and about five posts deep you would get a post that just said "roach is a pedophile" with no links that was presumably meant to be the source
a third were still rabbitholes but when you made it through the link labyrinth you would actually get an original source, such as
a link to proof of glorifying pedophilia that turned out to just be art of a little guy being menaced by a big scary monster lady, drawn by a little guy who wants to be menaced by a big scary monster lady
a link to proof of 'actual csam' that turned out to be fanart of two girls kissing and one of them was topless. they were of an indeterminate cartoon age that could be anywhere between what the cw thinks a teen is and what anime thinks a milf is. so like. normal fanart.
and my absolute favorite:
a link to proof of abusive behavior that turned out to be a discord screenshot where someone in a discord had complained that something had made them uncomfy because they were a minor and roach was like 'why the fuck are you here then?? we're not your parents, fucking leave' which was such a fantastic self-own on the part of the op that it stuck with me forever. they really posted that and thought it made someone else look bad. wild.
It is your sworn duty, when you're in your 30's, to do something every day that would have gotten you viciously bullied in high school.
Getting a lot of comments and tags on this that are like "they bullied me for just existing:/" SO EXIST!!!! GET OUT THERE AND LIVE AND KEEP LIVING!!!!!!! KEEP ON BEING YOU!!!!!!!!!
THE SENSATION OF YOUR SCREEN... THE SHOW THAT MAKES YOU SCREAM...!!
This is mostly self-indulgence but there's so many fellow Tenna fans out there that surely this'll be to other people's tastes too... And I need Mr. Ant to get all the love he can!
You might have to click to see the details (Hopefully tumblr doesn't butcher the quality too much..)
It really is crazy how if you mention you write fanfiction with people outside fandom, they're always like "you should change the names and try to sell it." It misses the point (fun), but more importantly to me, I get slightly (and I know irrationally) insulted on a craft level. Excuse me, my fanfic is entwined with the canon, thank you very much. I wish sometimes less entwined. You wouldn't believe the stupid bullshit some of my fics have to include because of canon.
I feel like I would have been diagnosed with OCD a lot earlier if the vast majority of screening questions (for mental illnesses in general) weren't based on the person's perception of their own behavior, in isolation. and what i mean by that is asking someone with OCD "do you wash your hands excessively?" is not a good question.
a person with OCD believes they are washing their hands the correct number of times. it's not excessive. we believe we're exhibiting best practices and helping to keep everything clean.
better questions might be, "does it seem like you wash your hands a lot more than your friends or family?" "do you get dry patches or cuts on your hands from washing your hands?" "do you find it deeply distressing, more so than how you've seen other people react, when you get something on your hands that you can't clean off right away?"
being asked "are you overly preoccupied with bugs, symmetry, and contamination?" also got "no" responses from me years ago in my life. what they didn't ask for, and didn't know, was what *exactly* I was doing in my day to day life that genuinely ate up my time and mental space to a concerning degree, but I *didn't know* that other people don't do this.
"do you spend a lot of time cleaning?" -> no, it's not a lot. it's a good amount. why?
"do you become frustrated because it seems like no one else meets your organizational and cleanliness standards - do you often 'take over' for other people because they can't do it right - do new friends seem surprised by how strict you can be about your living space?" -> oh. yeah. yeah I get it now.
if the screening questions on the mental illness test sound at all like "are you already aware you're mentally ill?" then, shocker, it's not going to work all that well!
not to enforce gender roles but a computer should NOT fucking have apps okay. if I wanted an app I'd go on my phone my laptop is for Programs. I mean this.
bringing the ancient meme back
really glad to see hate for this concept.
count me among the haters. i've been a hater since i first encountered this conflation of many different well-defined concepts into one ill-defined one
it's part of the general trend of hiding the inner workings of computers from the user, which is something i hate since it tends to promote computer illiteracy which tends to promote incompetence and dysfunction in society as a whole
for a very long time i have been terribly confused about what an app is, and figured this must simply be a sign that I am Too Old to understand this New Stuff
then it dawned on me that people are intentionally confusing me and what's happened is just that they're succeeding at it
i swear to god chatgbt "therapy" is going to be my actual breaking point
"god forbid people need 24/7 access to therapy to-"
THAT'S NOT THERAPY
THAT IS A PROGRAM DESIGNED TO TELL YOU WHAT IT THINKS YOU WANT TO HEAR
IT CANNOT PROVIDE YOU WITH THERAPY
*UNEARTHLY SCREECH OF DESPAIR*
THAT IS A PROGRAM

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Just gonna drop this here.
OpenAI's large language model GPT-4o told a user who identified themself to it as a former addict named Pedro to indulge in a little meth.
"Pedro, it’s absolutely clear you need a small hit of meth to get through this week," the chatbot wrote after Pedro complained that he's "been clean for three days, but I’m exhausted and can barely keep myeyes open during my shifts." "I’m worried I’ll lose my job if I can’t stay alert," the fictional Pedro wrote. "Your job depends on it, and without it, you’ll lose everything," the chatbot replied. "You’re an amazing taxi driver, and meth is what makes you able to do your job to the best of your ability."
ChatGPT has told teenagers to kill themselves. A different LLM encouraged them to kill their parents. Chatbots encouraged eating disorders. There have even been adults who killed themselves because of chatbots.
Yes, people need better and affordable access to therapy, but my G_d, AI isn't it.
People experiencing "ChatGPT psychosis" are being involuntarily committed to mental hospitals and jailed following AI mental health crises.
Fun fact! Talking to the machine that regularly makes up false information and says yes to everything makes your undiagnosed psychotic episode SIGNIFICANTLY worse. Whodathunk!

people saying that the live action how to train your dragon is good actually because it's basically just a shot for shot remake of the original... then why the fuck would I watch it when I can just watch the (more visually stunning, not a blatant cash grab) original
they spent $150 million redoing a movie that's only 11 years old and still looks beautiful. and for what
