This is what a lot of people don't seem to realise about Rowling. It's not just mean comments on Twitter. It's not even just donations to regressive political parties. She *actively bankrolls* the entire transphobic lobby in the UK. Laws have been changed by her. She is monstrous.

If you need to give people a reason not to support Harry Potter anymore, JK Rowling is actively stripping queer spaces away from vulnerable students who need them. All of the money from her books goes to this.

what jk rowling has done to queer students in the uk (it's Bad) as you may know if you follow british politics, there is a piece of statutory guidance called KCSIE: keeping children safe in education. teachers are legally required to read part one of KCSIE every year. at my secondary school, like many others in the UK, we have a LGBTQ club/GSA. this club is ran by ally or queer teachers and is supposed to be an explicit safe space for students to use preferred names and pronouns. however, this term, we were told that part of KCSIE this year involves "formal requests to socially transition" leading to a safeguarding process and parental intervention. we can no longer tell our previous safe queer adults our preferred names because they could lose their job and potentially their liscense to teach if it was found out that they didn't follow the reporting process when necessary. if you're still a part of the harry potter fandom, you are FUNDING THIS. it's paid for from jk rowling's pockets and you're only making them bigger by giving her traction. it's not too late to leave and take a stand

Annoyed at how many guides I have had to look things up for things in Mina the Hollower, but some of them are also just complete b.s. though?? Like, how was I supposed to figure out I could use the fishing rod for a treasure chest behind a barrier??? Nonsense!

To add a bit of levity to tonight's news, Every studio's GenAI disclosure these days after they're caught:

austin_walker@austinwalker.bsky.social · 3d ago

Over the past month, IGF judges and jurists have had intense, difficulty, generous, and deeply engaged conversations about AI and the games industry. This statement is the result of those conversations.

This year's IGF entries have been incredible. We've been lucky to play games that surprise, connect, and challenge us, and we're excited to vote for our favorites. Unfortunately, there has also been a significant increase in the number of submitted games developed with generative AI tools. This has set off some fairly intense discussion and disagreement across the judge and jury pools, and at this point there is no universal consensus on what (if anything) is to be done. The IGF has affirmed that we may cast our votes according to our own tastes and values. But we, a contingent of IGF jurors, feel that this trend and the games embracing it deserve stronger pushback than a vote in silence. While IGF leadership has approved the release of this statement, it's important to note that we do not speak for IGF as an organization, or for all IGF jury members. Many jurors had differing perspectives and significant reservations about this statement. Some jurists additionally voiced concern about their ability to safely sign without professional blowback, and we do not intend this letter to serve as a censure of those who were unable to sign. Above all: Our goal is to state solidarity with those who despair over the future of their art, their craft, and their industry—including those who have experimented with these tools in the past, but who now believe they are not in our best interest. We know that change does not come at the individual level, but as independent developers, we also know firsthand the value of pushing back on what an industry has deemed "inevitable." As jurists, we feel a responsibility to push past defeatism and aspire to a higher ideal. The future is not yet settled. You are not alone. We can stand together.We, the undersigned IGF jury members, believe the following: 1. That generative AI has these negative effects: Ecological harms at community and planetary levels Economic harms to working developers and artists Cognitive and psychological harms to its users Harm to the increasingly fragile information landscape Harms to labor and worker power in creative fields 2. That these harms do not depend on what is generated, be it music or writing, art or VO, marketing assets or code. 3. That AI-generated code is not an exception to these harms. Programming is a creative discipline whose labour deserves the same respect we extend to any part of making a game. This extends to the past work used to train these models without the creators' consent. 4. Finally, that the use of these tools is neither a foregone conclusion in our industry nor that their adoption has been wholly voluntary. We stand in solidarity not only with those developers who have the freedom to unilaterally reject them, but also with those who have been compelled by their employers to adopt their use, those working to establish or improve their workplace policies, and especially with those in positions of precarity who are so often those most pressured to abandon their values. For these reasons, this year we are declining to vote for any game that uses generative AI in any capacity. We urge the IGF to adopt a strong anti-AI policy for future years that disallows games containing any AI-generated work. A.M.

when you get to the point where the problem is so difficult you feel you have to reach for ai, ask yourself: what would i have done if this happened in 2019. problems did not just recently start being solved

Sure, a kitsune's stomach is awfully nasty! It smells awful, everything tastes awful, the air makes my eyes burn, I can barely see, it is difficult to stand upright, and everything is slimy and greasy, but...what else does a girl even need~? Plus you get to be taken care of by a giant sexy kitsune~☆

I still think it’s wild how quickly these monstrosities popped up all over the world and immediately blighted the earth. We get told how difficult it is to build anything beneficial to communities but these things are good to go in a few months. It really amplifies the amount of bullshit we get fed
