happy pride month

[star-angel-selkie]

this one kinda hurts when i see it every pride month. im glad to see an art piece of mine still circulating, and with nearly 100,000 notes too! it just hurts that im separated from it. everyone in the notes thinks im gone. im still here, but my potential community and connection is lost because im forgotten in place of the art. yeah, my deactivated profile does add to the profoundness of what i was saying, but i am still removed.

[star-angel-selkie]

wow this kinda got a lot of attention huh. thank you all for your kindness. im happy to be here still, and im not leaving!

Gentle notice that “highbrow” and “lowbrow” are eugenics/race science terms and it may be better to just quietly retire them in casual discussions of art

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

Friendly reminder that Antisemitism is a term coined SPECIFICALLY to mean Jew hatred. Every Arab and Middle Eastern person calling themselves a semite as a deflection when someone calls them Antisemitic has a fundamental misunderstanding of the term, and a deeply rooted hatred of Jews that they won't care if they're wrong, only that they hurt Jews in the process. Semitic is used to refer to a group of languages. A semite is someone who belongs to those who speak said languages, Antisemitism, AGAIN, IS SPECIFICALLY TO MEAN JEW HATRED! THAT IS ALL IT IS! Stop trying to take away our ability to identify hatred and then attempting to turn it back on us saying that WE'RE Antisemitic bc you're "semitic"

[slyandthefamilybook]

Important to note that "Semitic" has been used as a racial/ethnic term in the past.... primarily by turbo-racists (such as some members of the Göttingen School of history)

hey so uh. i am critical of islam as an institution the same way i’m critical of christianity as an institution. but if you think hating muslims regardless of their actions is anything but bigotry you’re actually just fucking gross.

fuck off.

Finding a colorblind friendly redesign of the rainbow flag has me happy to see a pride flag for once

[iliothermia]

This is it btw :) from here

[asmuchasidliketo]

There was a debate in the notes about the very idea of modifying the original Pride flag

pretty incredible that google went from this bountiful source of information to just trotting out blatant factual inaccuracies every time you try to use it. i do not use she/her pronouns. GREAT JOB AI

its funny because when i first posted about my non-dysphoric trans way i was VERY hesitant because its complex and nuanced and i was worried people would take it out of context and flatten it into something incorrect. turns out the people were fine. MACHINES on the other hand cant figure it out

to explain again and help the broken AI machine and then i wont have to talk about it anymore: my preferred pronouns are he/him. my real pronouns are she/her. i prefer to use the wrong pronouns

the reason i do this is because i am not dysphoric and dont need every conversation i have to revolve around gender and my spiritual beliefs about gender. i love my male body even if it does not match my soul. it is a VERY COOL SECOND PLACE and i am pumped as heck on it

if we are talkin just use he/him. ASSUME AWAY. just dont put it on any technical documents or labelers because it is technically incorrect. dont put anything on those. i had a book delayed two weeks because of this once. ANYWAY hopefully the computer will have an easier time with this
