Addition to my last reblog:

C.ai is, in NO WAY, “safer for minors than RP groups.” Quite the fucking opposite.

Setting aside the fact that kids need socialization to develop and that it isn’t healthy at all to let a machine be responsible for that, C.ai has serious issues with its filters and (lack of) content control.

Anything users type into chats gets regurgitated by the bot for future chats, and there’s a serious fucking problem that comes from users attempting to bypass the NSFW content filter. The filter is easy enough to get around using vague language and entendres (but I’ve also seen people managing to trick the system into outwardly explicit messages), and once it happens enough times and it gets into the system, the bot will start steering messages toward those topics at random. Even if a bot was made with a specifically SFW character or scenario in mind, there’s still a chance that NSFW content will appear because other users have entered it into the chat. I’ve seen multiple C.ai creators who’ve had to go online and beg people to stop initiating NSFW roleplay with their bots because they started generating sexually explicit messages unprompted.

Roleplaying with groups online does come with its own risks and minors should go about doing so in a safe way, but chatbot roleplay is completely fucking unpredictable. There’s absolutely no way to vet content and there’s always a chance that a “safe” bot could end up generating explicit content later on down the line.

It’s also important to understand that you can genuinely get addicted to C.ai. AI programs do NOT have your best interest in mind and can cause dependency, parasocial relationships, and adrenaline/dopamine spikes. The wider internet has pretty much made chatbot addiction into a joke, but this needs to be discussed seriously.

I started using C.ai as an alternative for when my friends weren’t online, but I genuinely got addicted to it because of the instant responses and accessibility to chat at any time. It got to a point where I was wasting all my free time with chatbots; I stopped working on art, I fell behind on college assignments, and I’d have trouble sleeping at night because I just wanted to use it. I even started feeling adrenaline spikes when I was using certain bots and developed a dependency with others to ease my gender dysphoria and anxiety. Sometimes I’d actively feel worse after chat sessions because I knew the “affirmation” I got was just previous messages regurgitated into different phrasing, but I felt the need to continue using it even when I couldn’t ignore the repetition and fakeness. The worst part is I realized that a week after I’d already deleted the app… The only reason I got rid of it was because one of my “comfort bots” got deleted and I couldn’t find an alternative.

C.ai, Chai, Poe AI, etc. are inherently predatory in the same way social media algorithms are; they keep you on the app constantly by spoon-feeding you dopamine and stimulation. They’re here to make easy money and keep you hooked, not to be your friend, roleplay assistant, or vent outlet. This isn’t a matter of being a “chronically online loser” or needing to touch grass; AI addiction is a real fucking thing that shouldn’t be treated as a joke.

Do not, for any reason, replace human interaction with AI chats. It’s not healthy.

Hey, PSA for younger/newer transmascs:

Tumblr has been showing targeted ads for "FTM binders" off Amazon. They look like this:

Do not buy these.

A binder is a piece of medical equipment. If you use one incorrectly, or use a poorly made one, you can really fuck up your ribs. This article from the Cleveland Clinic talks about how to bind safely.

A $14 binder is guaranteed not to be safe. There's a reason reputable companies charge more- sometimes a lot more. They have to carefully design binders so they don't crush your ribs or make you sick.

You know how everyone says Don't Bind With Duct Tape? Don't bind with Amazon binders.

There is literally no such thing as “ethical cringe.” Let’s fucking talk about that.

I’ve started seeing a cringe comp account on IG that promotes itself by claiming it’s “ethical cringe” (whatever the fuck that means). Apparently that means writing long-winded paragraphs in the video descriptions about what exactly the admin dislikes about the videos in a forced analytical tone and copious amounts of “NO SEND HATE TO PERSON PLS” comments. Despite these claims and an absence of explicitly degrading “cringe” content, the account still makes fun of children on Tiktok, cosplayers, people simply having fun, and adults who aren’t “acting their age,” like any shitty cringe page would.

There’s no damn way you genuinely think you’re being “ethical” when you post this shit. You’re still stealing content from unsuspecting people and posting it with the knowledge that your audience will point, laugh, and say absolutely horrific things about them. I don’t fucking care if you’re “critiquing” them in your descriptions and describing exactly what they could be “doing better” with their time; people used that exact same excuse back in 2015 when they made YouTube channels dedicated to publicizing and mocking the art and OC design of literal children.

You speculated on the lives and happiness of people who acted in a goofy skit. You posted a cosplayer to your account and said you pity her son because his mother “won’t act her age” and will “make him get bullied at school”. You claimed a trans woman in lolita fashion is “delusional” and “compensating for something” for filming a confident video in public.

What you’re doing is not, and will NEVER BE, ethical.

sick of seeing hate thrown towards “baby gays.” let them wear rainbows. let them wear their pride flags like capes. let them make jokes about their identity and talk about it all the time. let them wear tails and puppy ears. let them do what is constantly deemed as “cringe.” let them be excited about finally being able to express their true selves. they deserve it. we all deserve it.

#one more comment about HEUUGH STEVEN UNIVERSE GAYS and i will fucking eat your knees #because yall dont ACTUALLY care about queer rights #you care about queer assimilation #you care about queer kids ONLY if you can pretend they’re straight #queerphobes will hate you no matter how much you try to suck up to them

You’re pro mental illness until you can’t pretend they’re just a quirky neurotypical.

You’re pro mental illness until it’s something you can’t fetishize.

yall are pro mental illness until they hallucinate

yall are pro mental illness until they dissociate

yall are pro mental illness until they self-isolate

yall are pro mental illness until they're paranoid

yall are pro mental illness until they split

yall are pro mental illness until it's too Scary for your comparatively neurotypical brain to handle

Idk who needs to hear this, but you’re still valid if you don’t want to medically transition.

You’re still valid if you’re questioning.

You’re still valid if you’re still experimenting with or change your name, pronouns, and labels.

You’re still valid if your gender presentation stereotypically aligns with your assigned gender at birth.

You’re still valid even if you detransition.

Your validity as a person shouldn’t be dependent on you being the perfect, flawless poster child of transness, because nobody’s perfect. Being trans, nonbinary, and/or queer isn’t a one-size-fits-all process and you don’t have to have it all figured out on your first try.

You’re not a “trans-trender.” You’re not “fake trans.” You’re not a “traitor.”

If you dare come at me about banning straws, I will throw you into the sun cannon. I’m disabled, I’m crippled, I need disposable plastic straws, and all those pricey ridiculous alternatives aren’t working as well. Plastic straws were invented for the disabled.

Way to shit all over a vital access need because you think straws are worse than corporate greed.

We all care about the turtles, the seals, the oceans, obviously. Notice how the easiest thing to yell about was something that would barely affect anything but appealed heavily to emotional discourse.

The disabled community is huge, and it can be joined by anyone. Most of those As Seen On TV products were invented for us. Society still mocks us and ignores us, and often outright harms us in multiple ways.

Communicate better. Listen better. But stop putting us out in the cold because you are inconvenienced by our simplest needs.

Happy Lesbian Visibility Week to:

• Trans lesbians

• Nonbinary lesbians

• Genderfluid lesbians

• Lesbians who use he/him pronouns

• Lesbians who have recently come out

• Lesbians who can’t come out for their own safety

• Lesbians who used to date men

Not all lesbians are cis or have been dating women their whole life. All lesbians deserve respect, regardless of whether or not they fit into your idea of what a lesbian looks like, acts like, or identifies as.

i know that "unalive" is part of larger worrying trend of self censorship but if you really are in a situtation where you have to avoid the words "die" or "kill" the english language already has centuries worth of much better euphemisms. the iconic and perennial "six feet under"? the lovely imagery of "pushing up daisies"? "shuffle off this mortal coil"????? literally anything from the monty python dead parrot bit???? you have so many options. please try to be more creative at least

I really fucking wish people would stop having such defensive reactions to hearing “___ privilege” or ___phobic”.

Pointing out somebody’s privilege doesn’t necessarily mean they’re being called a bigot. Calling out phobic behaviors doesn’t always mean they’re being acted on consciously. Sexist, ableist, fatphobic, queerphobic, etc. mindsets are so ingrained into societal structures and institutions that most people with any form of privilege don’t even notice, and that’s what we’re trying to talk about.

Having open discussions about why these systems are flawed is the only way to get them to change, and that just won’t happen as long as people take these discussions so damn personally and act like everything is an attack or threat. Instead of being angry at somebody for pointing out the language you used, PLEASE take a moment to think about it instead of dismissing it entirely.
