@pscentral event 10: best of 2022 | 2022 tumblr memes.
As more people use tumblr blaze and inevitably make asses of themselves, I think this is a good time to remind people that it’s never ok to send someone messages to kill themself, no matter who they are. Your first reaction upon seeing someone get dunked on should not be to go to their askbox and harass them. Block people if they upset you that badly. Death threats aren’t the cool funny “own” you think it is.
Hey, do y’all remember how Tencent said they were developing faceID AI to identify people in riots, and then they suddenly created an AI art generator to turn your selfies into anime?
Do y’all remember that time that someone discovered facial recognition cameras couldn't see through Juggalo makeup, then Facebook had a fun “see what you'd look like with Juggalo makeup” thing, and then facial recognition cameras could suddenly see through Juggalo makeup?
Do y’all remember how, on Twitter, Elon started a tirade against artists who ask for credit when their art is reposted, and he suddenly he created one of the first big art AI programs?
Do y’all remember how AI destroyed the field of translation, despite the inferiority of the machine translations, because people didn’t care about the quality of the translations? They just wanted it done for free?
Do you know how companies will see a lot of money going into a New Tech Thing (like, say, AI art apps) and will jump to try and implement that New Tech Thing into their tech? For example, how it felt like every big company and celebrity had an NFT to sell?
Just wondering.
don't wash your white text posts with red socks

There is something you Disney gays need to understand.
The Walt Disney Corporation never has, and never will be, your friend or ally.
Disney is a multi billion dollar conglomerate.
Their one and only goal is to make more money than they did the previous year.
That is it.
They aren't trying to help you or your community.
Any politics they have either reflects the best way for them to make money or it was because someone put political pressure on them to do it. Or it is a publicity stunt.
"But what about creators like Dana Terrace? Or the history of queer people in animation?"
Listen to me. Artists like Dana and others do not work at The Rat because they want to.
They work there because Disney buys up every other little animation company there is and shuts it down, ensuring that any money being made from the medium is going to them.
DreamWorks and a tiny handful of others are the only ones left in western animation.
I am not kidding.
Blue Sky, who made Ice Age, was one of Disneys latest victims.
They shut down all production, even for things that were nearly complete, on all products that did not fit their brand.
Such as the movie adaption of Lumber Janes, a queer focused comic by ND Stevenson (creator of the She-Ra reboot).
As for the historical guys, such as Howard Ashman AKA the father of the Disney Renaissance, they may have worked there and done amazing things but it doesn't mean they were respected by the company.
Howard and his fellow gay artists were only allotted the creative freedom to work because at the time Disney was nearly penniless and this was a last ditch effort to save the company.
Gay artists may have risen Disney up, but it does not mean that the company cares for them or us.
In the eyes of these boardroom execs, the artists are tools needed to make a profit.
And gay consumers are the fools who will buy the rainbows-colored sweatshop produced products and call the company woke.
So. What can we do about this?
Rule #1: Avoid giving Disney money at all costs.
I know this is really hard because they own literally everything. But do your best.
This also includes any of their streaming services.
Buy used DVDs or just pirate.
And before anyone gets their panties in a wad about wanting support queer creators like Dana Terrace, let me remind you:
Creators and animators are paid a lump some regardless of if something does well or not.
All that revenue produced by things like Gravity Falls or Luca goes to the execs and stock holders, not the people responsible.
Rule #2- Support artists directly
If you like things like The Owl House and Dana Terrace's work, make a lot of noise about it on social media.
Buzz absolutely is a currency and the more that is generated, the more likely that these things will get renewed.
Rule #3- Support Unions
Unions are what keeps artists from being treated like slaves.
And any union (regardless of background or career) is a good union.
Rule #4- Do not fall for Disney's bullshit
No matter how progressive they may seem, there is always an ulterior motive and always a catch.
They are not our allies no matter what.
Cant wait
