#I definitely know how to use this website

[i-was-a-teenage-eldritch-horror]

I (unwisely) recently logged on to the website formerly known as Twitter, and was immediately greeted with more eva fandom misogynist apologia on the for you tab. Will this ever end?

Equating Shinji's misogynistic actions towards Asuka (and his more subtle misogyny towards Rei and Misato) to Asuka being rude and abrasive to Shinji is just absurd. Is Asuka rude? Yes. Does she have poor social skills? 100%. But Asuka is not a bully, period. Why? Bullying, like abuse, is about power structures. The only character more powerless than Asuka in this show is Rei. Asuka has no adults on her side. Misato favors Shinji because he reminds her of her father wound and neglects Asuka because she reminds her of the feminine parts of herself (read: her unhealthy interactions with men and boys, particularly Kaji and Shinji, which, ironically, stem from her father wound). Or have we forgotten about this scene? Similarly, once Kaji arrives in Japan, he also begins neglecting Asuka in favor of Shinji.

In addition to Shinji's mistreatment of her, Asuka's also experiencing culture shock (compounded by the fact that she's functionally illiterate in Japanese, since she canonically can't read kanji) and the fact that Kensuke was literally manufacturing and distributing csam material of her (and other girls!). Asuka also lacks the protective Eva Unit that Shinji benefits from at almost every turn. The only ally Asuka has is Hikari, who is an ordinary girl with no power over any of the things that are harming or have harmed Asuka.

The smoking gun here is the fact that Shinji is fantastically unfazed by Asuka (who, it must be said, makes several attempts to be kind to Shinji -- which he typically shuts down). Until eoe, the most emotion that he shows around her is when he's understandably upset that she moved into his room while he was at school, and even then he's not upset with Asuka, he's moreso upset at the situation. When he does finally get angry at her in eoe, it's because she was honest with him about how he hurts her and how she does not want to help him (to be clear: she's not obligated to).

Besides that, he nonchalantly tells her not to speak to him that way, or confesses to another character that he finds her bothersome or annoying. There is no real evidence that Asuka has any significant, negative impact on Shinji's psyche the way an actual bully would have on their victim; no, the characters who have the most negative impact on Shinji are Gendo, Yui, and Misato.

What empowers bullies of any age in real life is a power structure (be it at a school, workplace, or in the home) that is negligent towards the victim. There is a reason why school bullies tend to be star athletes, high academic achievers, or exceptionally well-liked (by students, staff, or both) students -- it's because these students often come from privileged backgrounds and/or are aligned with the power structure of the school. Power empowers, go figure.

Misato's treatment of Shinji is definitely not admirable (let's not forget that by the end of the series, Misato has assaulted Shinji); but it's not neglectful. She's very concerned with and involved with his inner life, albeit for selfish reasons. Conversely, Misato knows every ounce of Asuka's pain (rewatch the end of episode 10) and still neglects her! Keeping both Asuka and Shinji in the same household after episode 9 was a mistake on Misato's part. A good, competent caretaker would've discussed the issue (the nonconsensual kiss) with them both separately with the end result being one or both of them moving out into the dorm-like housing that NERV has.

Point being is that the power structure exclusively benefits Shinji relative to Asuka. Despite also suffering as a child soldier and a victim of trauma and abuse, he is privileged relative to Asuka due to how the adults who have power over him and Asuka favor him through their interactions.

Finally, eoe beats us over the head with how uncompassionate Shinji is towards Asuka, Rei, and Misato. Characters who just to happen to be...women and girls. Huh. How about that? It's almost like there's a message there. Although there are a few moments in the show where it's suggested that Shinji ought to empathize more with boys and men like Toji, Kaji, and Gendo (suggestions to empathize with Gendo tend to come from Rei in particular, which I'm not a huge fan of, for the record, but I also recognize that this is Rei imparting her own perspective regarding her own internal journey of questioning onto Shinji), the fact that in eoe, the piece that marks the end of the series, much of the narrative focuses on Shinji's treatment of the women and girls in his life is absolutely significant and sends a message about misogyny.

Does being a misogynist make Shinji a horrible, irredeemable character? Well, that's up to each viewer to decide. My take is that he can still break the cycle and improve. Any story about childhood trauma and abuse would be incomplete without at least one of the characters going down the road of turning into an abuser and/or their traumatizer -- Shinji fits this bill in eva, same with Misato and Ritsuko. Despite everything, I like Shinji. I find him endearing and even identify with him to a certain degree.

When you ignore these facts about Shinji's character, you are erasing a large, very interesting part of his character. Reducing him down to any flavor of sensitive, soft boy is as boring as it is cliche after the more than a quarter of a century since the first episode aired in 1995.

The softness, the sensitivity -- this is Shinji's exterior. Beneath it lies someone who is selfish, callous, bitter, rude, and self-flagellating. As is the case with every eva character, the interior is more interesting than the exterior.

The thing is that everything I've discussed in this post isn't just some throwaway line or a piece of blink and you'll miss it symbolism. It's present in this show basically from episode 1 onward. Seriously, rewatch episodes 1-7. Shinji clearly has some misogynistic ideas about how women should be and this rubs off on how he thinks of Misato (and Rei!), especially regarding how women should dress, keep house, and interact with their sexuality. He not uncommonly makes jabs at Misato for being a slob and having poor dating prospects. After Asuka arrives, much of this is transferred to her.

If anything I've written here sounds like vilification to you, I'd encourage you to examine why. For better or worse, this is the reality of eva and Shinji as a character. Will you face this reality, or just keep on dreaming?

We are very close to a temporary 5 day ceasefire in order to exchange women and children hostages and allow aid into Gaza.

I hope everyone continues to put pressure on their local representatives and urge them to call for a ceasefire to ensure the Israeli government allows this to happen. If you’re from the UK, US, Canada or Australia here is a linktree with resources on how you can call/email your local reps

#sorry the first link is behind a paywall but I use that website that gets around them #and I first heard this news from aljazeera but I know how you all feel about them apparently so I didn’t link it 🤍 #even if it is only temporary it is something and it is a step in the right direction #it is definitely one of those things that I will have to see to believe though #palestine #🦢

[girlfictions]

something i've unfortunately had to come to terms with and urge you all to keep in mind is that there is often no good faith conversation to be had with a zionist — these people are well aware that thousands of palestinians have been murdered in the past month, that the 1948 nakba was one of the most horrific displacements of a human population in history, that israel is currently carrying out ethnic cleansing with full endorsement from the united states — they simply don't care.

attempting to appeal to their sense of morality will not work when these people don't see palestinians as human beings; they have no moral conscience to speak of.

#palestine #usually i'm the loudest proponent of debate as you all well know but in cases like this theres just no amount of proof/evidence that will #change their minds i fear.. the israel propaganda is so laughable and yet some people are just . very very stupid #the only time i engage with zionist rhetoric is on tumblr where at least i can use my platform to show other people how to combat propagand #bc if theres one thing a zionist will be it is loud and wrong #hence why theyre still clinging desperately onto '40 beheaded babies' and other equally made up stories #so yes definitely do call out/dispute zionists where you can #but just remember which battles are worth it #i say this after engaging with one of the most braindead people i've ever seen on this website but c'est la vie !

i am, really just fucking hoping theres gonna be more safety regulations around this kind of stuff now. and that the greek coast guard gets fucking sued. also that the submersible company gets sued. and nothing like any of these things happens ever again

#ik thats not gonna be the case but god this whole situation has not been good for my irrational-ish fear #of being told something is safe and then it turns out it really really isnt but its too late and horrible death happens #i feel no sympathy for the billionaires obvs but. can we acknowledge how fucking lucky it is that the horrble submersible #only ended up killing 5 ppl. thats still 5 ppl but it couldve been way more #like idc if a billionaire wants to die horribly they should not be allowed to drag other people down w them #they should not be allowed to have their METAL TUBE DEATH TRAP talked about POSITIVELY on a fucking SCIENCE WEBSITE THAT SHOULD KNOW BETTER #AND THEY DEFINITELY SHOULDNT BE ALLOWED TO USE IT TO TURN A GRAVESITE INTO THE WORLDS LEAST SAFE TOURIST TRAP #EVEN IF ONLY STUPID RICH PPL WILL GET ON IT #like you realize this is just the most extreme example of the kind of lack of regulation these guys get away with. like im glad the guy tha #made the thing met his horrible end with it but too many ppl don't get graced with this kind of dramatic irony #and besides maybe it should not be fucking legal to construct literal death machines even for dramatic irony #idk im tired of focusing on whether the guys had it coming for them or not its endless hell discourse #lets fucking talk abt how this whole thing should not have fucking happened in the first place #and i hope nothing like it ever happens again #if the billionaires want a horrible death i will give it to them myself and then outlaw their entire fucking existence (as billionaires) #im sorry im just fucking tired #roseflower.txt

we need to start telling people how to things instead of just what to do because expecting everyone to just be able to figure it out and telling them they don't really care to if they don't just isn't realistic nor actually working.

#stop telling people they need to do x for y reasons and start telling them How to do it #bc i guarantee there are plenty of people that don't know how to even begin doing those things even tho they very much want to #like so many of us are already autistic; why isn't instructions for everything the norm on this website???? #and i'm guilty of it too!! i don't explain well enough either!!! but we collectively definitely need to change that #emilio.txt

i'm just saying, if you're like me and have had 3 concussions within the span of a year and have trouble thinking and remembering things now, word hippo is a life saver —

#✯ — [ ʰᵒʳˢᵉˢ ᶤᶰ ᵗʰᵉ ᵇᵃᶜᵏ ] ⨯ ooc #it was a horrible #tragic accident. some of you may remember it if you followed me from my old blog. #long story short i got in a fight with one of those big garage style overhead loading doors in the warehouse at work and i did not win. #and then there were the follow ups but anyway — #that's not why we're here. #word hippo is just #so good. in a lot of different ways. but i particularly use it for it's thesaurus feature. #i mean #sure you could use thesaurus . com or literally any other dictionary site #but one thing i REALLY like about word hippo is how good it is about finding words that match phrases or definitions. #if you know a word but don't actually know the word but you know what it means ? you can literally type in a 3 page long definition #and it will find that word. and several others. #for some reason i never had the same luck on any other website. you can type in a whole PHRASE and it'll find words AND OTHER PHRASES #that also mean the same thing. #it's also pretty vast with it's slang and regional terminology which is also great. #and there's a ton of other search features on there too. #idk i just think it's kinda neat and it really helps me keep things moving when i'm writing things. #because i'm a very sequential writer #so if i get hung up on a word or a particular part of one sentence i physically can't move on until i remember or come up with that word. #and ever since the incident™ it's been really hard to recall even the simplest of terms sometimes. #but anyway back to my drafts sorry y'all had to read that. #love y'all — take care of yourselves today. #tbd

i have been almost entirely off my tumblr dashboard for the last week and i've noticed an almost immediate, quantifiable improvement in my mental health, and i'm pissed about it

like, i'm pissed that 'social media addiction is rotting your brain' is a 'whiny' thing 'adults' always said that I always fought back against and it still ended up true. i'm pissed that even without the algorithm tumblr's format of 'everyones constantly saying and sharing things and you crave seeing all of those things' has led to an addiction. i'm pissed that tumblr literally pulled me out of one lonely depression spiral a decade ago and has been sinking me into a different one now

i 'broke' yesterday while i was bored at work and decided to let myself have 'just one hour' looking at tumblr and that hour passed in an instant. i wasn't 'done' by the end of it because the very nature of social media is you're never 'done', but i felt like if i had more time i could be, and i had to force myself to close the tab

i opened up tumblr again tonight and didn't really set a firm time-limit, and 30 minutes passed in the blink of an eye. i'm making this post and forcing myself to close the tab but like. i still check my notifications each morning. there's nothing there, because i haven't been posting hardly anything for people to react to, but i literally feel antsy wishing people were responding to me. i've also gotten so much work done this week! I almost finished writing the game I'm working on! i started reading a new book! but i still keep itching to open tumblr on my phone

#people who use this website every day but arent addicted to it: tell me your secrets #its definitely a mentality thing because i go on twitter and i dont feel like i need to 'see everything' #but i go on tumblr and i NEED to scroll back and back and back until i've gotten to where i left off the last time i was here #and by then theres new posts on my dashboard and i need to see those #like thats not healthy and i know that! i tried describing it on the phone to my mom as like a hunger that can never be sated #and like i can feel how immediately hungry again i feel when i open tumblr for the first time in multiple days #it sucks bc i definitely dont want to leave social media forever people. i have legitimate friends here??

Saw a screencap of a “haha funny” mocking microsoft word for being useless and also very accepted, and I don’t know enough to really agree or criticize most of it BUT I do have a gripe with it because they said you can’t move images well, and I’ve gotta say. As someone who spent a probably large amount of time making collages on Word in like 2nd or 3rd grade, it’s really easy for me to get images to do what I want by changing the settings and I’m not sure if that’s common knowledge or just because I spent so much time mucking around with Word as a kid.

(we’re talking 40+ pictures of trees and waterfalls and stuff, hand-aligned, rotated/reordered etc., and surreptitiously printed in color on a lab computer. Why did I do this? Why this form of self-expression? Who else did it? How did I have the time? To all of those questions I say: I don’t know but I went at it with an intensity and passion I can only envy today)

#baby me was definitely hyperfocused on these things...gosh i remember when i discovered how to make the images have *shapes* #and you know what? actually i think my knowledge of word is one of the only actual skill advantages the gifted program gave me #i've mentioned before how it was honestly mostly enrichment for brain-weird folks rather than a fast track system like some places #but the thing I learned that *was* actually semi-applicable to life is they expected us to use computers for personal projects #from a young age #(like we practiced making websites back in the day but on word so not actually) #it's a weird little remnant of an age that's largely gone (so much harder to commit design crimes these days!) #but i have many fond memories of being unleashed on the computer and the expectation to be creative

[girlscience]

Well, I went from 970 words to 1203 words and the order is better and a lot of editing was done (went up to ~1500 words for a bit and edited back down), but wow I can't focus for shit. This paper is still definitely not the quality it needs to be and for trying to work on it for about 9 hours today and only ending up here, I am honestly super disappointed with myself. I have never been the fastest writer, but this is abysmal. I will not make it through grad school if I can't write papers.

#I apparently have very little ability to make myself write without a lot of external pressure #because even though I have a deadline for this.... if I don't do it nobody but me will really care #I have to be doing it for myself and my life #and apparently that's not sufficient motivation to get past how much I don't like writing #which is DUMB #I write on here all the time. I write huge dissertation type messages about stories I like #I write whole documents on worldbuilding that I'm doing #I also think I'm very much out of practice with writing unfortunately #and my last memory of writing papers is reallllly terrible (senior year end of semester covid and being at home fucked me over) #and I think all of that is compounding on top the fact my attention span is smaller than it used to be #and so it's like trying to herd cats just to type a fucking comprehensible paragraph #I know I spent probably 7 of my 9 hours on the computer today on youtube or tumblr #and I probably spent 1 hour just staring at the document #I just want my brain to WORK #I don't know how to make it WORK #productivity hacks really don't help much... I am think I need to try the boredom one more though #that was definitely what got me to make calls and write emails the past couple weeks #maybe I can make it work for this. I just have to get up the discipline to not get on another website #the hack is basically 'if I won't do this thing I need to do I just have to sit here till the boredom is so strong I'll do anything' #so you can't get on another website or clean or listen to music or anything #just sit until your brain is screaming that it will do ANYTHING to not be bored #and so it forces you to do the thing because at least that's doing SOMETHING #but it does mean I have to be strong enough to not do anything else #which has mixed results. but it has worked a little bit so I guess we'll try that this week more

Non-techical people making technical decisions is how you get 6× as many developer hired to write the frontend website code as the number of developers in the entire infrastructure team.

#codeblr #progblr #then when velocity is slow they hire another frontend developer #you know how little you value ux designers? #you should value frontend developers that much #thats how many you need to hire #also value ux more my guy #its actually good if blind people can use your website #even though it makes features come out “slower” and you cant see what changed in the website #your team should comprise of mostly backend developers #i say frontend but technically were “fullstack” developers #my hot take is that “fullstack” is just a fancier word for frontend #we write javascript and just enough of the serverside to call the apis/libraries that the real backend developers write #“Fullstack” “engineer” lmao gimme a break #That said “fullstack senior engineer” is definitely on my resume

HOW TO GLAZE YOUR WORK WITHOUT A GOOD PC(or on mobile)/TIPS TO MAKE IT LESS VISIBLE

Glaze your work online on:

Cara app. It requires you to sign up but it is actually a good place for your portfolio. Glazing takes 3 minutes per image and doesn't require anything but an internet connection compared to 20-30 minutes if your pc doesn't have a good graphic card. There IS a daily limit of 9 pictures tho. Glazed art will be sent to you after it's done, by email. It took me 30 minutes to glaze 9 images on a default setting. Cara app is also a space SPECIFICALLY for human artists and the team does everything in their power to ensure it stays that way.

WebGlaze. This one is a little bit more complicated, as you will need to get approval from the Glaze team themselves, to ensure you're not another AI tech bro(which, go fuck yourself if you are). You can do it through their twitter, through the same Cara app(the easiest way) or send them an email(takes the longest). For more details read on their website.

Unfortunately there are no ways that I know of to use Nightshade YET, as it's quite new. Cara.app definitely works on implementing it into their posting system tho!

Now for the tips to make it less visible(the examples contain only nightshade's rendering, sorry for that!):

Heavy textures. My biggest tip by far. Noise, textured brushes or just an overlay layer, everything works well. Preferably, choose the ones that are "crispy" and aren't blurred. It won't really help to hide rough edges of glaze/nightshade if you blur it. You can use more traditional textures too, like watercolor, canvas, paper etc. Play with it.

Colour variety. Some brushes and settings allow you to change the colour you use just slightly with every stroke you make(colour jitter I believe?). If you dislike the process of it while drawing, you can clip a new layer to your colour art and just add it on top. Saves from the "rainbow-y" texture that glaze/nightshade overlays.

Gradients(in combination with textures work very well). Glaze/nightshade is more visible on low contrast/very light/very dark artworks. Try implementing a simple routine of adding more contrast to your art, even to the doodles. Just adding a neutral-coloured bg with a darker textured gradient already is going to look better than just plain, sterile digital colour.

And finally, if you dislike how glaze did the job, just try to glaze/shade it again. Sometimes it's more visible, sometimes it's more subtle, it's just luck. Try again, compare, and choose the one you like the most. REMEMBER TO GLAZE/SHADE AFTER YOU MADE ALL THE CHANGES, NOT BEFORE!!

If you have any more info feel free to add to this post!!

Generative AI Policy (February 9, 2024)

As of February 9, 2024, we are updating our Terms of Service to prohibit the following content:

Images created through the use of generative AI programs such as Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and Dall-E.

This post explains what that means for you. We know it’s impossible to remove all images created by Generative AI on Pillowfort. The goal of this new policy, however, is to send a clear message that we are against the normalization of commercializing and distributing images created by Generative AI. Pillowfort stands in full support of all creatives who make Pillowfort their home. Disclaimer: The following policy was shaped in collaboration with Pillowfort Staff and international university researchers. We are aware that Artificial Intelligence is a rapidly evolving environment. This policy may require revisions in the future to adapt to the changing landscape of Generative AI. 

-

Why is Generative AI Banned on Pillowfort?

Our Terms of Service already prohibits copyright violations, which includes reposting other people’s artwork to Pillowfort without the artist’s permission; and because of how Generative AI draws on a database of images and text that were taken without consent from artists or writers, all Generative AI content can be considered in violation of this rule. We also had an overwhelming response from our user base urging us to take action on prohibiting Generative AI on our platform.  

-

How does Pillowfort define Generative AI?

As of February 9, 2024 we define Generative AI as online tools for producing material based on large data collection that is often gathered without consent or notification from the original creators.

Generative AI tools do not require skill on behalf of the user and effectively replace them in the creative process (ie - little direction or decision making taken directly from the user). Tools that assist creativity don't replace the user. This means the user can still improve their skills and refine over time. 

For example: If you ask a Generative AI tool to add a lighthouse to an image, the image of a lighthouse appears in a completed state. Whereas if you used an assistive drawing tool to add a lighthouse to an image, the user decides the tools used to contribute to the creation process and how to apply them. 

Examples of Tools Not Allowed on Pillowfort: Adobe Firefly* Dall-E GPT-4 Jasper Chat Lensa Midjourney Stable Diffusion Synthesia

Example of Tools Still Allowed on Pillowfort: 

AI Assistant Tools (ie: Google Translate, Grammarly) VTuber Tools (ie: Live3D, Restream, VRChat) Digital Audio Editors (ie: Audacity, Garage Band) Poser & Reference Tools (ie: Poser, Blender) Graphic & Image Editors (ie: Canva, Adobe Photoshop*, Procreate, Medibang, automatic filters from phone cameras)

*While Adobe software such as Adobe Photoshop is not considered Generative AI, Adobe Firefly is fully integrated in various Adobe software and falls under our definition of Generative AI. The use of Adobe Photoshop is allowed on Pillowfort. The creation of an image in Adobe Photoshop using Adobe Firefly would be prohibited on Pillowfort. 

-

Can I use ethical generators? 

Due to the evolving nature of Generative AI, ethical generators are not an exception.

-

Can I still talk about AI? 

Yes! Posts, Comments, and User Communities discussing AI are still allowed on Pillowfort.

-

Can I link to or embed websites, articles, or social media posts containing Generative AI? 

Yes. We do ask that you properly tag your post as “AI” and “Artificial Intelligence.”

-

Can I advertise the sale of digital or virtual goods containing Generative AI?

No. Offsite Advertising of the sale of goods (digital and physical) containing Generative AI on Pillowfort is prohibited.

-

How can I tell if a software I use contains Generative AI?

A general rule of thumb as a first step is you can try testing the software by turning off internet access and seeing if the tool still works. If the software says it needs to be online there’s a chance it’s using Generative AI and needs to be explored further. 

You are also always welcome to contact us at [email protected] if you’re still unsure.

-

How will this policy be enforced/detected?

Our Team has decided we are NOT using AI-based automated detection tools due to how often they provide false positives and other issues. We are applying a suite of methods sourced from international universities responding to moderating material potentially sourced from Generative AI instead.

-

How do I report content containing Generative AI Material?

If you are concerned about post(s) featuring Generative AI material, please flag the post for our Site Moderation Team to conduct a thorough investigation. As a reminder, Pillowfort’s existing policy regarding callout posts applies here and harassment / brigading / etc will not be tolerated. 

Any questions or clarifications regarding our Generative AI Policy can be sent to [email protected].
