Hello, I Know That Your Blog Is About Discourse, But I Wanted To Ask Something About Ao3: Is There A

Hello, I know that your blog is about discourse, but I wanted to ask something about ao3: is there a way to put images there?

My blog is about many things, not strictly discourse. I'm more than happy to assist or discuss on other matters.

And as it happens, there are! There are a few ways you can insert an image into the main body;

This tutorial is one such way.

So is this one.

Then there's all the fuckery with the actual HMTL, but nobody has time for that and if you write on AO3 in the HTML mode, God is scared of you anyway.

there’s an anti on YouTube that goes on to fix “nasty proshipper incest art”

except the art is completely tame, it is about a father and his daughter doing normal family stuff, she sits on his lap, hugs him and claims that she loves him and he holds her and they’re both happy, but apparently antis see these completely normal family interactions as incest and pedophilia

Yet what really surprised me the most was that I later found out the artist they are targeting is an open homophobe and ableist

antis focused so much on their art that they completely neglected to focus on more important things regarding this artist, instead they had enough time “fixing” art and raging about apparent problems when there were none to begin with

I'm proship leaning but when other proshippers say "I don't trust when someone says [person] is a pedophile because aNtIs!" when that person has DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE of being a predator. You're willfully ignorant at best and think that pedophile is something that only happens in darkfic or weird kink at worst. Like, no, it's not antis faults you can't condem real predators.

That has nothing to do with proshipping itself and everything to do with the actual individual. Its disingenuous at best to reduce an entire community down to a select few.

However, I will say its understandable that sometimes even "documented proof" is called into question based on who is involved in the discussion. Again, this has nothing to do with me being a proshipper, but people who align with the 'anti' principles have:

Sourced and spread around child pornography and non-minor rape and sexual abuse materials, often even using them to torment and abuse the victims themselves.

Fabricated evidence on multiple occasions in order to incite a witch hunt against innocent people and claimed ignorance even when confronted with their actions.

Harassed and doxxed and bullied people to the point of losing their jobs, requiring medication and therapy and suicide attempts.

Called people predators and pedophiles for a numerous array of reasons, usually the majority of which have nothing to do with actual predation or pedophilia.

In the instances where I have my doubts about someone being called out, I will privately endeavor to do as much of my own research as I can before making any decision or getting involved in any way. Which again, has nothing to do with me being a proshipper. That's what you should do, rather than blindly believing and following accusations.

People have a right to genuine doubt. If or when it extends beyond genuine doubt into wilful ignorance and denial, that is an individual fault.

An investigation found hundreds of known images of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in an open dataset used to train popular AI image generation models, such as Stable Diffusion. Models trained on this dataset, known as LAION-5B, are being used to create photorealistic AI-generated nude images, including CSAM. It is challenging to clean or stop the distribution of publicly distributed datasets as it has been widely disseminated. Future datasets could use freely available detection tools to prevent the collection of known CSAM.

This isn't some "gotcha". This is something that actually HAPPENED.

Firstly;

Secondly, pick a fucking argument, dude. You've gone from asking me if I think AI rape images are fine to asking if I think AI CSA is fine because its using real CSEM to calling out that some AI datasets were contaminated.

So what's your argument? Are you arguing against my moral values or against AI? Those specific AI programs? People using art to fulfil unorthodox fantasy?

Copy-pasting statements after a furious little google search because I'm not bending over ass-backwards to agree with you is presenting what point, exactly?

AI bad?

Taboo kink bad?

Fictional content bad?

RPF bad?

Which is it? Help me out here. Is it some hybrid of all of those points?

Because I mean if your point is that AI is bad, I agree! Whole heartedly. For a multitude of reasons, not least one of your copied points; that it is actually basically impossible to make the AI forget something its learned. Hence; scrapping it all and starting over. Hence; stricter laws that only allow AI to be trained on specific open source datasets. Hence; requiring human approval for reference images and constant human monitoring rather than simply allowing the AI to run unsupervised, as most are.

I just don't agree that using various mediums to create fictional art that isn't created with a malicious directive is bad. Whether that's done by hand or using (god forbid) AI.

Do you think the AI rape art of Taylor Swift is justifiable because it's art and not an action?

This is really not going to make you happy, Anon, but to be frank, its an AI image. By itself, its harmless.

The inexcusable action is deliberately attempting to expose the person concerned to it and also therein the harm. Plenty of unpalatable art is created for a myriad of reasons.

I frankly don't care if people make AI rape images of Taylor Swift. I care if they're trying to force her to see them or if they're trying to perpetrate them as real. I care if those images are deliberately being used maliciously to cause people harm.

If you think RPF is simply limited to 50 Shades-style Y/N fanfiction or thirst blogs, you are sorely mistaken. The brutal reality is that, yeah. People who enjoy rape fantasies and RPF can and do combine those two things. People with hardcore kinks can and do imagine them involving real people.

I’m tired of people making awareness posts about big names like the voice actor Tara Strong and include her internet posts over fictional characters along with some more concerning stuff, such as her support for PETA, Autism speaks or Israel

Making weird posts about fictional cousins kissing in 2014 is not important. Being a troll over the characters she voiced is not important. Stuff like this doesn’t automatically make her a bad person.

but the rest of the stuff mentioned however is important, and her support for all of them makes her a bad person. Just focus on that if you want to make awareness posts

Unfortunately most people will scramble to collect any minute piece of "evidence" they can against someone in order to try and solidify their claims and force people to agree with their campaign. Often this will include anything from their taste in music to the books they read/write.

Modern internet culture is placing far too much weight on what people like as a determining factor in what kind of person they are or defining them as a person.

The best thing to do in situations like that is counter the information. Force people to address the actual points within the posts, rather than the unnecessary information. Force the conversation the stay on certain subjects and allow those to overshadow what is irrelevant.
