Is anyone else good at spotting ai art? Im pretty good at obvious mistakes, but I need a second or third pair of eyes on something. I want to be wrong, but the art has some problems that are hard to overlook

Buffy and Spike standing next to each other in Chosen. Paired with the following from Tumblr user elverrie:
the scoobies meeting

giles: buffy, what is spike doing there?

buffy: he is my emotional support vampire.

giles: you already had one, didn`t he prove to be trouble enough for you?

buffy: in my defense the other one wasn`t emotional or supportive...

25 years ago, Season 5 premiered, in which we learned: 1. Buffy can't get no satisfaction from Riley so she goes out and gets her rocks off with violence 2. Dracula EXISTS in Buffyverse and is star-struck 3. Also, he owes Spike money. The scamp. 4. Dracula is no match for Buffy. Duh.

Two images; Buffy looking very bored next to Riley and then rushing out to get some violence in before bedtime

Spike rallying against Dracula, as is good and just

One reason why I came to bsky from Instagram was that I was tired of only posting sfw drawings and if I didn't, I'd get shadowbanned or worse... Here we have a nice thing called "labels", so every time I click on "show" I consent to viewing nsfw. Why additional censorship? #BskyCensorship

I remember how sex workers used this (and probably still do use this) to circumvent stupid rules. I remember charging for "time" or "a drink". Specifying that what happened during that time (the actual service) was private, consensual and unrelated to the payment.

2/2 but also somehow puts this idea on the community more heavily biased towards queer and female creators who make their own work to share, rather than the communities made more heavily of older white men whose entitlement leads them to actively harassing creators into making canon conform to them

Based on the top commentary, part of the idea seems to be that people writing fic is out of a demand for the canon to be what they want, which is enough of a bad faith misunderstanding to disregard any further commentary on the topic, (1/2)

The thesis seems to be this: some fanfic is about relationships with power imbalances > women who read that fanfic endorse IRL abuse > women who endorse abuse vote for patriarchy > fascism Which is garbage. Whereas "bad art is blocking utopia" IS the calling card of fascism.

Speaking seriously, this shit needs to be ground into the dust right now. If we let the "fanfic is societal evil" talking point take root with the "I'm anti-patriarchal but also women too stupid to think for themselves, lolz" community (which is large and influential), AO3 will be in deep shit.

Incredible how far some people will go to avoid confronting the actual causes of fascism. It's so much easier to blame it on groups you can punish online, which you'd think wouldn't be possible if they were holding up fascism, but these exercises never survive a second thought, let alone a first.

Fanfic writers - famously queer, fem fanfic writers - are the fascists. 🙄 That is exactly as absurd as it sounds. I just want to point out that Romantasy books (like SJM's series) are frequently on banned book lists. But sure. Fascist.
