crazy concept: but art is fun, making things is fun.

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

Action =/= attraction! Also please don't confuse sex negtive with sex repulsed! Or on the same scale, sex positive with sex favourable! Here's a neat image that explains it well. I'm asexual. I'm very sex positive but I'm also sex repulsed

Boundaries: I don't want to see that thing so I will block it for myself. Censorship: I don't want to see that thing so I will block it for everybody.
