Look at the massive Nazi rallies in NYC right before WW2

You’ve gotta remember how many Klansmen existed in Amerika during that point in history. Which I still think should’ve been fought and suppressed, en masse, as soon as it first started cropping up. Fascism is like a strangling weed; the best time to deal with it is before it’s sprouted and started growing. Otherwise, it’s gonna get messy with exponential speed.

I wish I could be hyped over BG3, or anything in the CRPG fantasy genre; but everyone’s got the same basic, boring ‘core four’ races, the same core rulebook classes, and I’m the kind of tabletopper who was always ass-deep in the splatbooks looking for the more interesting, not-dime-a-dozen races and classes. Like, where’s BG3’s elemental planetouched? Where’s the beastfolk(that don’t look like a Krogan’s head on a human’s body)? Why are there eleven varieties of elf here?

Idk, shit just depresses me because there’s not a fantasy setting for me to really immerse in to get away from all my friend groups chattering positively about FFXVI.

In fairness, I don’t believe in debating fascists; I believe in stomping them out given they historically trend toward wanting my whole race either liquidated or enslaved. There’ll never be a day where I’m talking cordially to a known brownshirt.

I wonder why that perception exists.

I think most people have just given up and just lump people who say shit like this in with the legitimately hateful, earned or not.

You’re absolutely correct. From where I sit, I wasn’t put on this earth to educate settlers and those who sound like them who should know better by now with the entirety of the Library of Alexandria at their fingertips. There’s other people with less skin in the game than me who can stick their necks out and catch those rounds when they come. I’ve seen no definitive proof that ‘the other side of the aisle’ even sees me and mine as human, across about a hundred sixty years; so why take that chance anymore in a climate that slides closer and closer to civil war?

did you just “the missile knows where it is” but for the internet

Fuck no. I wouldn’t wear a signifier that put me in the same bucket as a weirdo who collected Nazi memorabilia.

“AI art doesn’t have the imperfections of the human touch.”

This statement alone deeply offends me; holy shit. What the average techbro would rate as ‘the imperfection of the human touch’ is the performance. I dig generative art for bases to build off of, GANs as ‘a tool in the toolbox rather than the whole entree’; but what the actual fuck is the point of art if there’s no true ‘human’ input? “Anti-human” is probably right overall.

The disconnect is that heads haven’t started rolling yet, I imagine.

No creator is worth catching some dodgy-ass computer std from someone’s drive-by ad.
