Need more artists to openly and explicitly say trans rights so I know which ones to trust that won't backstab us for a transphobic + misogynistic art trend

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 Witch of Art @thewitchofart.bsky.social · 5d ago

Gotta love the idea of Ralsei being the adopted queen's child #deltarune

In the top panel, it shows Queen looking at up, while her hands raising together, saying "I feel the femenine power"
In the middle panel, it shows Queen smiling, and said "And I'm so"
In the bottom panel, it shows Queen starts to shake her hands, and said "Accepting..." while looking at Ralsei well dressed with a dress with a fire theme.

Queen thought, "Finally I got a daughter"

🍄🐰Cuppa 🐰🍄@cuppacuppacoffee.bsky.social · 3mo ago

ko-fi.com/cuppacuppa/g... Hey so, I decided to make a KoFi goal to help me and @wudelu.bsky.social move out by the end of the year. If you need a little more context please read the goal/text slide that explains it. I would greatly appreciate any and all reposts and donations if able. Thank you.

Me and Wubb will be trying to move out by January when our lease is up at our current apartment.

As much as we adore our home and have spent 5+ years here, the unfortunate reality is that we’ve got very toxic family members that know where we live.

My side of the family thankfully keeps to themselves and only pesters me on occasions, Wubb’s side has frankly gotten to a point of being extremely concerning. Thankfully we are not in immediate danger, but without going into too much detail - we are constantly on edge on whether or not that may change in the drop of a hat (considering how far gone mentally this specific family member is.)

So with the donation goal that I set up, this is being used to save for a deposit for a rented out house and/or townhome, if we manage to surpass it (or have saved up on our end to be able to afford a deposit) the money will still be used to help with moving. Either with renting a moving van or with starting us off with the first year’s rent when we find a new place.

With moving, we hope to not only get into a bigger - more roomier space. But more importantly a peace of mind knowing that we are away from the family members that aren’t in the right state of mind at the moment.
