Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

All of this talk about queerness being "unnatural" in the modern landscape and not a single person is pointing out how utterly unnatural it is to rely on something like GPT to perform the natural role a parent has to their child. Fuck off.

One of the reasons I've mostly dipped from VO is I'm so tired of disgusting people never being held accountable Wendee Lee publicly attacked multiple colleagues for comforting Anairis Quinones after she had a role taken away, and then was liking tweets saying she should be allowed to play POC's

(hoyo VAs get recast during the SAG strike) Hoyo Fans: It can’t be because of the strike, Hoyo isn’t struck (they learn the VAs are striking independently) Hoyo Fans: So the strike is fake! (VAs get recast after SAG’s strike) Hoyo Fans: Well the strike ended months ago so it can’t be related?

This is also from Fate/Zero's AI closed captions on Crunchyroll, and I didn't wanna post from the same series twice, but imagine comically fucking up the iconic 🎵A-NI-PLEX🎵 jingle.

Don’t even talk to me unless the animated horse girl Tokai Teio is in your top 5 artists of the year

So I’ve heard the English AI slop dubs of three anime shows were removed from Amazon! Fantastic! We love learning and actions to be better. Now remove the Spanish AI dubs :3 And don’t forget the KDramas that have the AI dubs too. Thanks! Would tag Amazon here but they have no foot here to tag sooo

Your response matters. I guarantee you there is a whole department of people at Prime Video who is quietly celebrating today. Keep up the good fight, everyone.

BANANA FISH no longer has an English dub on Amazon

SO... I'm pretty much done with Fortnite. There were statements made by Tim Sweeney saying that AI usage doesn't need to be disclosed, and then AI usage was found all over this current season- from art to sprays to in-game songs. Between that, and the upcoming shitty wizard collab... Yeah, I'm done.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from. tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this. 🧵⬇️

In August, a bilibili account for “LinLi-Olivia” appeared depicting a virtual idol girl. After their first video post they were followed in minutes by lots of Mihoyo employees, AI industry figures, and notably the former CEO of Mihoyo - Cai Haoyu - and current president of HoYoverse Jim Yang.

Stop using AI slop to make fun of right wingers. Put some fucking effort into it.

How do you fuck up the pronunciation of a game YOU NOMINATED this badly? It pronounces it for you when you boot the game!

This + there has apparently been scientific research done into how use of ai affects brain functions and there is mounting evidence that it is literally making people dumber and it exclusively serves the interests of billionares

Many of you

I fucked up. Got stopped by the nursing staff. They had to take the cards out of my bag. Needless to say, Wife is NOT HAPPY after finding out I brought Yugioh Cards to our "No-Yugioh" Hospital Stay.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

The op of Umamusume S2 is actually so gay it’s incredible

Game company sows misinformation to cover up union busting, fans fall for it, actual employee posts explaining the employees were fired to prevent the studio unionizing This is *unacceptable*

I’ve seen several popular VAs now using AI openly and then scoffing when initially called out (“don’t be scared, this is a good thing”) and then hastily deleting their posts when it becomes clear folks disagree. So you can imagine, as can I, how many are *quietly* endorsing it to avoid backlash.

HoYoverse participated in the recent BosonAI hackathon event this past week. BosonAI promotes themselves as “Making communication with Al as easy, natural and fun as talking to a human.” and highlights “Audio Generation. Rich emotional voice synthesis.” Highlighting because of the audio aspect.

Telling me that everything is gonna use generative AI and that I might as well get on board with it now is like telling me "that minefield is full of mines, you may as well just step on one now."

But now how will people know how to set custom variable node???

In the past week, a voice over agency got bullied off Twitter for posting that actors refusing to work with AI are “cutting off their noses to spite their face.” We need more energy like that, especially when companies straight up just use AI instead of actors and assume nobody will say shit.

Happy "Tales from Genesis Space" day, folks!

I don’t know if I can ever really understand the usually more heteronormative need to be totally monogamous tbh Poly people do often still have that one special person, or in my favorite scenario, everyone involved loves each other

I hope the hoyo news has been a wake up call for people I’m certainly not touching their products again, as sad as that makes me after 5 years of playing Genshin

Several months ago, actors made it clear that they were withholding work from Genshin Impact because of a lack of basic AI protections Hoyo fans told them it would/could never be an issue Last night, Hoyo posted several official videos promoting Genshin's new mode Here's what the VO sounds like.

Char decided to call himself Full Frontal in UC??? I can’t stop giggling every time they say his name it’s so dumb #gundam

Reposting this with different phrasing Multiple promotional videos for the new Genshin Miliastra Wonderland mode have been posted A lot of fans believe it to be narrated by AI voice over You be the judge youtu.be/B_hxFC_Rrck?...

Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including: "Efficiency in Image and Material Generation With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes." Something to keep an eye on.

straight up the smartest thing i think ive ever seen anyone say. i'm gonna remember this one for life. it's never too crowded for yuri

Asexual people are more likely to be raped and inflicted with conversion therapy than other LGBT identities because the general public doesn't want to believe that not everyone has an easy time being attracted to people.

Recently the voice actor for Dr Ratio in Honkai Star Rail came out in support of Charlie Kirk and his ideals, and when saying this he added in one of many posts that “many fellow VAs feel the same.” Some actors have hand waved this statement as bullshit. But I do think it’s important to examine.

I don't find it coincidental that Al hawkers start with attempting to artificially replace a woman actor instead of a man. Men aren't viewed as products (=resented for exhibiting agency) to the same extent, so starting with a male Al actor presentation would probably be viewed even more negatively

Bright, shut up and get out. I'm going to fuck your wife now.

Just found out that there is a non-insignificant amount of people online who seem to think that gender abolitionism is some sort of transphobic ideology. Pretty depressing, considering that it is in fact a product of queer and feminist theory and by no means contradictory with transness.

Watching “There’s No Freaking Way I’ll Be Your Lover! Unless…” on YouTube of all things and the comment sections are so annoying. People who have seemingly never actually watched any yuri before treating it as the greatest thing in the world by pretty much shitting on all other yuri shows, lol.

ZZ Gundam was getting on my nerves so I decided to take a break and watch The Origin. Absolute cinema.

A very yurifull day to all

Generative AI is a tool of the fascist. Taking the soul out of art, mass producing garbage for some selfish goal, even having companies and governments control what AI can and cannot do, therefore influencing the thoughts of the mindless sheep who utilize it. Fascists have always done this.
