small thing I'd like to add here is that there is no bad fic as long as it's done with love <3

Attempt to get copyright on wholly AI-generated art gunned down by US Supreme Court

As game developers continue to argue about the value of generative AI tools, some genAI inventors are trying to claim for copyright on their

"Thaler's lawyers complain that if the Copyright Office's reign of terror continues unchecked, it 'will have irreversibly and negatively impacted AI development and use in the creative industry during critically important years.'"

GOOD.

btw i will never forgive this site's "horses are scary and evil!" phase. horses are lovely and their big necks and heads are perfectly sized for hugging you.

you should do this and maybe then you'll calm down

fanfic isn't an act of activism by the way. it's a fun hobby. writers write whatever they want for themselves as their silly little getaway/self-care. if you want "more representation" of something in fanfics, then you write fanfics about that thing you want. nobody is stopping you. but saying other fanfic writers as a whole are "the problem" or are "to blame" for "not including xyz" or "not writing about xyz" just isn't how fanfics and hobbies work.

i feel like this is more nuanced than “just make your own fics”. while yes, no one is owed representation in someone’s personal works, i do feel that it’s important to step back and think about why we write the things we write about.

so many people in fandom spaces are allergic to nuance when it comes to their internal biases— especially in regards to racism (which, i know the original post wasn’t explicitly about, but i feel it’s important to name).

i've mainly seen this on twitter (of course) but when someone asks “hey, isn't it strange that most fanfic is centered around white men? even in media with women and people of color?” hordes of people who feel threatened will always show up in the comments to argue that “people have preferences!!! why do i have to write about something i’m not interested in???”

take sinners for example. 99% of the cast in the movie is black. but when you look at fandom spaces, you'll see an insane amount of focus on remmick and mary—the white/white-adjacent characters. before i watched sinners, i thought mary would play a much larger role given all the talk about her.

i don't think it's wrong to enjoy remmick and mary as characters, but i just think it would be helpful for people to take a step back and ask themselves why fandom is like this.

again, you’re free to write about whatever you want. go write your remmick fics, i won’t stop you. but if you notice a trend in your behavior that leans towards always seeming to neglect black and brown characters, or lesbians, or any other marginalized group considered “less than”, maybe do some introspection on why your “silly little getaway” is segregated. 🤷🏾

I think all the "fanfiction is escapism!" people who use that phrase to defend from not including BIPOC characters in their work need to examine why their escapism involves people of color (especially Black and brown people) not being present.

It's the exact same as the gamers who complain about too many people of color in AAA games since they want it to be "their fantasy", only more insidious because it's wrapped in the "fandom freedom" discourse.

I've already seen people in the tags make this about shipping or darkfics or whatever. NOBODY is referring to those when they say "representation". Use your brain please, white tumblr user.

"Just because I'm right, doesn't mean I'm being helpful" is a vastly underrated thought process that I strongly encourage others to get comfortable with

[infiniteoreos]

undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal

the drama on trans twitter rn is that a trans man has a trans girl oc who doesnt pass and is pre-hrt, and all the twitter tirfs are calling them transphobic and nasty for making a "characature" of a trans woman. this person also has an oc in the same story who is a also a trans woman who passes very well and is very feminine, and its clear the younger trans girl looks up to her, but conveniently everyone ignores this other character who isnt "clocky"

and all I can think is how sorry I feel for pre-hrt or non-passing trans girls who see this drama, see other trans women saying awful things about this character's small hips or her flat chest or broad shoulders or her height. how that makes her a characature and a transphobic hate symbol. and i just feel bad !!!! depictions of trans people who dont pass are important! those people exist and deserve love and representation!!!!
