It’s literally the exact same people pushing this. And of course they’re recycling the same tired arguments. If they were creative enough to come up with new arguments, why would they need AI?

Overtly defining AI-generated images as “plagiarism” seems like a slippery slope that could lead to any art provably influenced by another person’s art as plagiarism.

Oh my God. If you’re going to parrot leftist rhetoric, at least try and understand it.

short-sighted, and reeks of people that refuse to adapt to the times

I like how people have watered down the meaning of “outrage” to the point that it’s now just used to describe anyone having any point of view whatsoever.

There is absolutely no chance of anyone deplatforming Rowling, nor is there any serious attempt to do so. She has multiple books in print. She has a podcast. She does media interviews constantly. Twitter is owned by a guy who hates trans people almost as much as she does so there’s zero possibility of her being…

There is a marketplace of ideas, and “we don’t want Milo to speak at our campus” is one of those ideas.

Yeah, except that method has been tried and it doesn’t work. All it does is give these people more supporters.

Rowling just called a pedophile “sexy and edgy” but let’s stick to what really matters: this guy’s thoughts on vaginas. 

Except she’s deplatformed plenty of people personally. Rowling has, on multiple occasions, publicly threatened to sue people for expressing opinions she doesn’t like. Thanks to her money and army of lawyers, she can pretty much silence any UK citizen by just throwing lawsuits at them until they’re bankrupt.

If a speaker is invited to a public university, their speech is protected by the First Amendment.

The AV Club comes out in favor of censorship.

I think it doesn’t matter. Because flying broomsticks, soccer, wizards, and even magical sports are all concepts which existed long before Harry Potter was published.

Yeah, EA should have made catching the Snitch worth like 5 points or something, so it could decide a really close game, but nothing more. By deciding to follow the rules from the book exactly, they made the video game version incredibly boring.

“And Rowling has been one of their favorite targets.”

“Seriously, things are going to get very bad for some people in a bunch of US states.”

There were zero signs except that she literally told people she was retiring before any Hogwarts controversy occurred.

I think perhaps the person who compiled this list just doesn’t like Robin Williams.
