The sheer fact that this shit is still going on is exactly why I won’t get into ANYTHING that Riot puts out. Their playerbase is fucking Vile, even in comparison to fuckin Valve’s playerbase; and they’ve been talking about FOR YEARS trying to detoxify their playerbase. It never works. It categorically never fucking takes; the people Riot bans will come back on a new smurf, and then just start only stacking up in discord calls so they can still be as shitty and vile as they always were, just now it’s under a log that Riot can’t police.
It’s not worth how bad the problem has gotten. They could’ve nipped this shit in the bud all the way back during Season 2 of League ranked; and they didn’t, and Riot player toxicity has been metastasizing into this ever since.
And your attempted redress is bootlicking the mechanics by which capitalists steal from all of us. Sinclair was right; it really is impossible to get you people to understand shit when your material conditions are dependent on your not. And then you just smug around like you said some prosaic shit I am so sick of y’all.
I live every day of my life under a regime that steals my wages, calls it ‘profit’, and then in my face, gets away with pocketing it, with STEALING IT; that shit is ALREADY happening. At this point, it’d just even the playing field. If you want me to have solidarity with my fellow worker, you cannot have it both ways where you expect me to uplift the tools of capitalist theft too. Fuck out of my face if all you have is platitudes to capital.
How is licking the boots of the copyright office helping the people? I don’t give the first fuck about individuals trying to hoard up IP anymore; IP hoarding-- and the very concept of IP in the first place-- is fuckin bullshit, fuck 'em if they got a problem with that take. We already have to pay through the nose for too much else in society, so why are you licking copyright-uplifting boots?
Whataboutism and JAQing off. AI models are trained off blatant mass theft; as long as the originators of the training material (1) haven’t given consent to their being scraped and (2) aren’t getting paid for said already-done scraping, then the generator is unethical and deserving of hatred. You can’t have it both ways-- if capitalism is the game that must be played, then the originators of the training data need to give their consent and they need to be paid for every byte of training data that’s been stolen from them.
Because most ai-generated pornography models are trained off actual nudes scraped off the internet; and not just those who work in the corporate porn industry. This essentially falls under the same morality as nonconsensual/revenge porn by allowing all and sundry to generate images off images the original posters never were polled for consent for.
But I forgot, this comm is plagued with treathounds that meatspace kink communities would throw out for a rule 3 breach; so I don’t know why I’m inconveniencing the electrons to explain something that even the terminally-pornbrained should be able to comprehend…
How is it a hit piece when it illustrates how crocodile her tears are? “i was wrong uwu sowwy” after 10+ years of softball interviews and puff pieces with all the consistency of a lotioned-up handjob? Actual, honest, heavy-caliber investigative journalism across all sectors is in the goddamn toilet if not outright dead because of a mass proliferation of hacks like her, Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Rachel Maddow, and Don Lemon; and we’re not supposed to call her and her cohort for it? You’re just as complicit in the establishment of silicon feudalism if that’s rly what you believe.
What does Xbox even have that I couldn’t already play on my PC? Halo’s dead; there’s no reason to humor Xbox as a console anymore. Microsoft’s still-surviving exclusives are all mid; so really, why would I get one of these when I could just play on my PC, or pick up a Steam Deck to have access to my PC’s library?
Honestly I’d sooner starve than go back to service. Consumer crackers are not housebroken; I’m not going back to almost-literally slaving for COVID-spewing petri dishes at any fast food hellhole in my city; layoffs or no I’m staying my ass in tech as long as I can.
