When the TV show comes out, if I see anyone talk about watching it, I'm just gonna block and move on without a second thought. I don't care if we're mutuals.

Let's be real here. The TV show is gonna do well, and so will Hogwarts Legacy 2, and probably nothing we say or do will change that. A lot of people just don't care about trans people. That doesn't mean you can support her and still be pro trans rights. We're not gonna give you a free pass.

It's really easy to just say you support trans folk, we're just asking you to put your money where your mouth is and not give it to one of the worst transphobes alive to show you mean it. If you can't even do that it's clear you just genuinely don't care about trans folk.

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

give more credit to black furries. black furries have routinely showed me the best times in this fandom and in irl furry spaces/events. yet we really only focus on fandom problems affecting the comfort levels of white ppl while ignoring racism in various parts of the fandom.

I shared my thoughts and wanted to list them here as well so folks know where I stand. I encourage you to share your feedback with VRChat as well. Be civil, but be yourself, be passionate, speak your mind honestly.
A screenshot of VRChat's AI survey question "Where's your line? Optional. Tell us where AI use starts to matter to you, and why." with my response:

"I largely agree with the classifications outlined by the graphic in the VRChat post. Minor coding assistance, translations, or other machine-learning-powered tools built into editors that have long existed don't bother me, but placing Generative AI in a position where it is making creative decisions that directly affect the experience of the world is a bridge too far. While I would not say such worlds should be banned outright (nor do I think this is even possible to enforce), I would endeavor to avoid supporting GenAI-based worlds in places where human effort is meant to be rewarded (including the Discover Worlds UI, events like Spookality, or highlights like VRChat's community world showcase), and to enable users to have much finer control over whether they see these things in their day-to-day experience."Screenshot of VRChat's AI feedback form, on the question "Anything else you want us to know?" with my response:

"To me, VRChat is largely a vehicle for the human experience in all its forms. It is a platform where you connect to other humans in worlds and avatars built by those same humans. This authenticity matters a great deal to us, as it is one of the few places where many of us feel we can truly be "ourselves", and we have built strong and meaningful connections with others who are genuinely expressing who they are. I fully understand why, to creators who dedicate tremendous amounts of time and energy into hand-crafting experiences for an audience they care deeply about and are often a part of themselves, the increasing use of Generative AI threatens to diminish the value of their work and lower the overall quality of the VRChat experience.

More than that, though, I think the embrace of (and resistance to) Generative AI speaks to bigger issues in the world. GenAI has imposed a very real and devastating cost to human beings. Already many creatives are losing their careers or being forced into soul-crushing new workloads that prioritize productivity over passion because of GenAI. That's not to mention the societal inequality it helps to preserve, the pollution it causes, or the misinformation and deception it enables, all of which have made our lives materially worse. We cannot support those things, and thus we do not support GenAI itself, and to see it be supported or used in places we consider our "safe escape" from the troubles of reality is that much more heartbreaking."

(Continues in next screenshot)Screenshot of continuation of response from previous screenshot, with my response:

"I think the reason this issue refuses to go away is because it's a microcosm of a societal struggle we're all engaged in every day. So many of us are just exhausted at seeing our quality of life deteriorate while a small number of billionaires tell us what that the terrible future they're promising us is inevitable. We feel powerless to change any of that at the systemic or societal levels, so we opt instead to carve out small curated communities where we *can* influence the way things go. Many of those communities are right here in VRChat, so when we see the company express what we could describe as indifference toward our strongly held principles, we're painfully reminded that VRChat is, after all, just another capitalist enterprise in the real world, subject to all the same pressures and obligations as any other company, and that gnaws at our soul just a little. We just want one spot, one little corner of the world, where all this bullshit isn't standing over our shoulder, waiting to crush our happiness. We really want VRChat to be that place."

The first two paragraphs of the linked-to story:

"Denmark has suffered a major data breach that has given unauthorised individuals access to names, addresses and personal identification numbers belonging to about 8.8 million people registered in the country’s central population database.

"The breach occurred after unidentified individuals misused a private Danish company’s legitimate access to search the Central Person Register (CPR), the government said in a statement Monday."

[A parody of MR ROGERS’ NEIGHBOURHOOD, in which the kindly Mr Rogers takes us to see local things in his town.]

[title]
MR ROGERS’ NEIGHBOURHOOD

MR ROGERS:

Hi there

2
Today, I’d like to take you to visit some of my neighbours… 

[He puts his coat on to leave his house]  

3
At a wonderful local event,
 
[We see the cute toy-town diorama of his village famous from the TV show. The camera pulls out…]

4
The Data Center protest.

[The camera has pulled out further and now we see a huge DATA CENTER at the edge  of town]. 

5
MR ROGERS [joining a crowd protesting outside the Data Center]:

The Data Center is an enormous, windowless, endlessly humming building outside of our town

6
…Which has tripled energy prices, drank all the water, and created four jobs.

7
[to camera, as if kindly explaining to the viewing children]:

Four jobs! Golly!

8
LADY PROTESTOR [probably NAOMI KLEIN, holding a sign]:

In a way, the Data Center is kind of a vivid metaphor for a future we feel locked out of!

9
MR ROGERS [to camera again]:

A metaphor.

10
That’s something that lets us clarify our feelings about something else. 

11
LADY PROTESTOR:
How do you feel, Mr Rogers?

MR ROGERS:
I feel like bringing down the government!

12
MR ROGERS [now holding a sign and protesting]:

It’s good to have neighbors.

Advertisers telling FA that plus sized characters are too sexual, then telling CSP to remove kissing references because it's too sexual, is a great example as to why advertisers are bad, and trying to sanitize the fandom is a waste of time. Advertisers, paypros and puritans belong in the bin.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome prevented her from doing so. She had worn a dress of her own doing so. making on the couple's first date. The pair based the game on decisions involved in actual garment construction, including fitting pattern pieces onto a limited quantity of fabric, working with the grain of the material, choosing trims and buttons, and responding to commissions from clients.
