Loving South Park continually using ableist slurs, anti-trans humor, AI imagery and the continual idea that “small penis makes you less of a man” as humor that everyone loves. But they say “Trump bad” so it’s ok right?

Since so much of it is out there at the moment…

I’ve seen the take that rape is “a fate worse than death” a lot. This is usually from well-meaning people who want SA to be taken as seriously as it should be in a society that regularly sacrifices victims at the altars of Men With Bright Futures.

But it’s wrong. And it’s damaging and dangerous for victims to hear. You are not better off dead than raped. 

After your assault, you’ll navigate the feelings of betrayal and anger and hurt. You may experience suicidal ideation. You probably will. But you are not better off dead than raped.

There is a whole life you will live after SA. It may be different than the life you once saw stretch out before you, but it’s no less valuable. You will heal and grow and change. You will know more happiness than you could ever imagine from that dark, angry, fearful place you once inhabited. 

Your life has beauty and value and it is bigger than what SA took from you.

Sophie Cunningham was booed during last night’s WNBA game in Toronto. I think that’s a good thing. Cunningham is enjoying a right-wing media machine that’s embracing her. If this is the reward for engaging in hate, what’s the deterrent? Social consequences -- like booing:

Hey everyone. 

Last night, to my great surprise, I received a long email from Saber Interactive CEO Matt Karch. He apologized unreservedly for the awful way he spoke about me in the press. The email’s full text will stay between us; I’m not that kind of girl. But I have confirmed it was from him. 

Matt said he regretted escalating, and how people online were speaking about me. I’m not worried about being called slurs by random commenters—I’m a trans woman, that’s every day for me—but it stunk to have my skill and reputation built of 20 years in games publicly maligned by someone with institutional power. One thing I saw people saying about me, and that Matt fueled the flames of too, was that this is not my first time calling a former employer out, so I must love drama or be hard to work with. The truth is, bad treatment is everywhere in games; I’m just more willing than others to call it out. And I call it out so maybe others will be willing, too, when it happens to them.

 I’ve been firm from the beginning that I was telling the truth; I think we can all now agree that’s been borne out. Matt expressed a desire to make it right with me; at this time I don’t really know what that looks like for me, and I’ll have to take some time to sit with it, but I do at least accept his apology. None of this changes my stance on AI. Matt and I obviously differ on this, and as a CEO the consequences of its use fall on him, and unfortunately also on his employees.

Apologies are simply in too short a supply these days to spurn one when it’s offered. 

God willing, this is the last statement I’ll need to make about this.

I appreciate everyone’s support, but people who know me know I’m a person of principle, and one of those principles is don’t let the bastards get away with it. I’m comfortable with what I said, and everyone got to see what kind of man is running Saber. This is my official public statement. ❤️

While writing this script, I went back and forth over whether I was being too hard on Majority Report, Kyle Kulinski, and others. But while editing I had to actually watch many of the videos where they mocked a woman who Platner abused while confidently announcing she was lying, and I was disgusted.

TY Hannah Einbinder
swirlies. Per Slash Film, Einbinder shared a pointed message directed at Al creators during a recent Hacks season-five press conference.
"You are a loser," she said. "You will never be cool. And you probably had a rolly backpack in high school. I wanna put your head in the toilet and flush." Einbinder, who concluded her acceptance speech at last year's Emmys by saying, "Go Birds, fuck ICE, and free Palestine," didn't sugarcoat her stance when she described people who generate Al content. She noted that she doesn't consider them to be artists or creatives. "They've wanted their whole lives to be special. And they're not special," she said.
"They're trying to rob real creative people of our gifts. And you can't. And even if you try, you will never be cool. You guys suck. No one likes you. Anyone who's near you is because they crave power and access over any ethical standard."
