With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
~Maya Angelou, Still I Rise.
I just saw this.
No, guys, this is not OK. I don't give a damn.
First of all, whatever happened to "If you don't like tatted-up E-girl boobs *Don't* look at E-girls??
Nobody's making you, are they??
What's even the point of this, except to attack somebody else's art, or to impose patriarchy where it's obviously not wanted??
If you really...I mean really want a nice, modest, dignified woman of the sort that this implies, why not go out and go for a walk, touch grass, and maybe go and find you some nice Muslim lady in a Hijab??
Except that's not what these motherfuckers want, either...at least not if it's her choice or her sincere belief that she should wear it.
Also last I checked, Christianity hasn't mandated "modesty" in a long damn time.
In fact, in terms of immodest behavior, it seems to be the Conservative kind of Christianity that leads the pack, these days. I know these people, don't try to bullshit me.
And no, you don't get to impose some kind of digital Purdah on other people, or on their images without their consent, to make up for that shit. "Dignity" has not one damned thing to do with any of this.
Just the fact that it's from 4Chan, where you can find Horse-cock porn, should set off various and sundry alarms in your head.
Deal with your own crap, face the fact that the "Terminally-online Trad-wife who gets all dolled up to flirt with the Internet while allegedly cooking Spaghetti" is just another subspecies of Onlyfans Ho and leave the rest of us the fuck out of it.
I'm a former-Christian, formerly-Conservative-Republican White Male US Air Force Veteran and I'm 50 years old. Shit, I'm old enough to remember when if you talked about using computer-generated imagery to put the clothes back on a naked woman, this would cause a bunch of other dudes to openly and rather loudly speculate about your sexual orientation, although...not in those words exactly.
It'd be more like "Dude, are you gay??" But put, most likely, considerably less politely and using one or more slurs.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say if you know enough about E-girls to think using AI to put their clothes back on is cool...or if you're dumb enough to think using AI is appropriate at all...I know way more about conservatism than you do.
And also, I've seen the Terminator movies, let's not get Skynet thinking it's the second coming of the goddamn Moral Majority, that shit was tiresome enough the first, second, third, fourth and fifth times around.
Also, should you be successful I don't think Tight-Assed Fundamentalist Christian Skynet is going to work out the way you think it will...especially if you give it nukes and Terminators *Cough* Cylons.
Yes, because that really ends up more along the lines of the 2003 Battlestar Galactica series...which isn't a good time for most of the people in it, either.
(The Terminator franchise didn't really make too much in the way of statements about human sexuality, aside from representing more of the spectrum of it as time went on. And that's not the world these fucking people want to live in, either.)
But these fucking dudes, like Jack Posobiec? They want to be Nuclear Pimps.
(Callback to this piece I wrote last year.)
Seems...I don't know, easier...to just mind my own damn business and if I don't like X or Y, don't partake of it??
I'm sorry, but for what little attention I pay to E-girls...and half of that is that a former co-worker of mine, who is a conservative, is one...I'm not going to worry about making up some stupid AI to put their clothes back on.
The entire concept is idiotic. I've never seen my former co-worker's boobs, I've never wanted to.
You know how I accomplished that?? I simply didn't subscribe to her Onlyfans or Patreon and both of us were fine with that. We do, rarely enough, comment on each other's stuff on Facebook, and she's popped up as a possible on Instagram but I don't remember if I followed her or not. Yes, I'm out of touch and not interested in being on a whole boatload of social media sites.
This is, ya know, how you adult successfully.
And I'm sure as hell not going to engage in some AI generated foolishness involving somebody else's image without their consent or permission because that would be wrong. It's not my business, let alone my place.
I don't especially have time for or patience with or much tolerance of patriarchy or religiosity, and I think using AI to play fuck-fuck games with it is some potentially dangerous, fucked up bullshit. It's the way to the bad parts of science fiction, the kind of stuff humans shouldn't be playing games with.
This crap is how you get Cylons wanting to murder all the humans for being immoral and rejecting their god.
More to the point, guys; How a woman presents herself to the world or what she does for a goddamned living is nobody's business but her own. If you don't like it, you don't have to follow her on the internet or give her any money, or hire her to work for you.
But you also don't get to mess with it if she's already got a job.
Freedom means you get to do what you want, yes. But so do other people. You don't have to like it, but that's how it is.
Dictating to other people, passive-aggressively by using AI or not, that ain't freedom. Being free also means being a strong-enough person to just shrug and walk away, or maybe laugh at something...or if it offends you, maybe even say so...but be able to defend your position and have the guts to say why.
And if people clap back, they do. Nobody has to agree with you...or me, for that matter.
It's really that simple.
But this is America, and not some Christianized version of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and that's what really seems to offend these fucking people.
And if you're one of those people who thinks that way?
FUCK OFF!!!
And again, note, I say that as a former Republican. You either believe in freedom or you don't.
Freedom isn't free, and one of the prices we pay for it is tolerance of others.
What these goddamned nuclear pimps are trying to sell? That ain't freedom.
This has been a conservative point of view.
Слава Україна!
My mother always told me that no matter how much you dislike a person, when you meet them face to face you will find characteristics about them that you like. Jerry Falwell was a perfect example of that. I hated everything he stood for, but after meeting him in person years after the trial, Jerry Falwell and I became good friends. He would visit me in California and we would debate together on college campuses. I always appreciated his sincerity even though I knew what he was selling and he knew what I was selling. ~Larry Flynt.
