so many people approach gen AI from the angle of what specific kind of work they don't care about and thus are okay to replace, because surely they don't take any REAL work

Sharing this post from Maryco over on X, where she posted a 33 page PDF on how she was groomed by @farfromani.bsky.social , the head of Butapro. Glad she spoke up, absolutely damning. drive.google.com/file/d/1TxOA...

a post from Maryco on X that reads as follows.

" I was 14 and he was 23. I was groomed by @FARfromani
and it lasted throughout my adolescence. I want to talk about it because I don't want something like this to happen again to anyone else. "

There is a drive link titled: "Farfromani Grooming.pdf"

More importantly, an amazing person who shaped a humane philosophy that the studio carried from its founding until now, and in the hands of his family, into the future. People who crossed paths with him remember both small acts of kindness and his ahead-of-their-time views on animation production

RIP Hideki Sato. Former Sega President (2001-2003) and father of Sega's consoles, including my favourite one, the Mega Drive, has passed at the age of 75. The legacy he leaves behind is immense and cherished. 💜

Adding to this: the term "unbiased review" should be a red flag above all red flags, given critical reviews are, at their core, opinion pieces.

The weird music you hear in First Gundam during encounters with Lalah is a stock effect called “Bizarre 6” (most likely cooked up by SFX editor Akihiko Matsuda) It can only be found in full on “サウン道アニメ・恐竜・SF編 VOL.2”, a CD collection of anime sound effects overseen by Katsumi Itou of Swara Pro

Let's be real, none of this is being argued in good faith - and any worm caught in-between the manipulation who buys it is too fucking stupid to be paid attention to anyway. But like, doing this with Bocchi? An incredibly creative, super successful, beloved by all parties series? That's your target?

But since the thing she said could've been unwanted in this case was sexualization, it riled up a suspiciously close group to the faithfulness purists that you can already imagine. That's how this is also about Bocchi's ginormous boobs being less of a focus meaning the end of civilization, somehow

Going as far as claiming that there's no way to know how the author feels, when she's been on record many times explaining her involvement in the process & sharing her love for the result. A real fan would know she does this on stream, on her own, personally, not only in PR-friendly environments

And it demonstrates that none of these people are even aware, let alone interested, in how the creative process they're so aggressive about even works. Idiot who knows nothing about Bocchi reframes an interview to make it so that the adaptation is an evil exercise in cutting parts of the original
