I’m 100% ok with gatekeeping incels. If you can’t handle a woman being the protagonist or a non-white person being the protagonist of a video game, I don’t think you deserve to play games.

This is very true. Everything you want to learn about any art or craft is freely available on YouTube. The problem is, you then have to do the work, which is the sticking point for many.

A tweet by Jess Owen which reads: 

Al didn't democratize art.

Artists did.

Free YouTube tutorials, sketch pages, advice blogs, works-in-progress, mentorship, AMAs, process videos. Sharing materials, stock references, resources, and technique. These are freely available to anyone who wants to learn.

Authors need to stand with artists by REFUSING to use AI content for promotion, illustrations, or cover images. If you believe people should pay to read your book, then pay your fellow artists for their work. Now, I just auto-block writer accounts using AI images.

I think it's fucked that I have to try to convince some bureaucratic gov. office worker who's never even met me that I am, in fact, disabled. How do you convey on a disability application form that you're in pain every single day and get them to actually believe you?
