This article is unbearable, and might finally be the tipping point for me to leave this site. AI art is a tool. Saying it spits on “real animators” is short-sighted, and reeks of people that refuse to adapt to the times, like anyone saying that Photoshop, filters, or digital animation weren’t doing “real art.”

The article is just drenched in outrage. This is on par with the kind of burn-it-all-down writing you find in response to a tweet about how maybe a 25% tip for take-out is a bit much.

You have to realize that any third party tracking this conversation is going to be overtly confused by your comments. What are you talking about?

Some women are also natal men. Rowling (in the bathroom context at least) is only concerned with women that are also natal men... for precisely the reason virtually everyone i…

She believes natal men are a threat to women... which is an entirely anodyne belief. This is a typical belief for humans, generally speaking, and particularly common among feminist activists (which Rowling apparently is)... and, arguably, completely understandable coming from a survivor of sexual assault (which…

who is a sycophant enough to listen to the creator of a fictional work? I love Charlie Day’s always sunny series, but am I cutting into a camel to get at its (probably) delicious milk? No.

Sounds fun. My wife is a big Harry Potter fan. Despite the controversy, not letting enjoyable art into your life doesn’t make the world a better place. 

While I’m not a Harry Potter fan, I do enjoy gaming. This is what made me ask what the fuss is all about so I read her tweets and her essay and I didn’t take it as she’s transphobic. She didn’t come across as being afraid or have hate for the trans community. I see that she did have concerns as a biological woman,…

I mean I get what you’re saying, but the large majority of reviews are saying it’s far from “very bog standard” lol.

It’s an amazingly deep and fun game. My 9 year old and 15 year old daughters are having a blast exploring. Even my 43 year old wife, who doesn’t play games at all, loves going around and collecting things, opening up the map, etc. The long and short is, it’s probably one of the best, biggest, most fun, and most…

Its always fun when a guy who's talking about immaturity starts his comment off by calling people "bitches".

“How could deregulation!?”

Some folks need a good caning.

This is great for people that want half their keyboards rolling around their desk to save the space that a tiny mouse takes up.

No, I’m sorry, grandma, but the throttle didn’t stick, you hit the wrong pedal.

IIRC, Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx weren’t on the list, so that’s a big loss to the library.

Probably meant to say "worthwhile games."

I signed up for the PS5 direct purchase program and I would get emails on extremely rare occasions notifying me of availability. When the PS VR2 came available for pre-order I got notifications of a very regular basis. While not definitive, that seemed like a pretty clear sign that demand isn’t there for the thing.

So if your employer was in a lawsuit with Walmart, should you and every coworker of yours be banished from every Walmart and Walmart adjacent business in the country? Substitute any other major grocery or retail chain in there too. It’s not as simple as your statement makes it out to be. 

Them personally? No. Someone who works for them and is in no way related to said suit? Yes why not?

That seems like a rather silly attitude to have. There are two kinds of VAs:
