fennectik: Getting political (political)
[personal profile] fennectik
...not at the cost of other cultures and ethnicities. Makes me feel like you would change the race/ethnicity of a character in a reboot or movie adaptation of an established IP just to pander to something that isn't exactly a positive look into diversity itself, and more like gaining profits from the viewers who would buy into such pretentious actions.

To me, it makes every other reboot, remake, or adaptation seem less enjoyable and pretentious on itself, especially if said shows/movies are from old ones which I enjoyed prior.

And I'm not against diversity overall. I'm also part of a minority in the US, so of course I am very interested and invested into adding different people and nationalities into such things. But as stated, not when the reason behind it feels like petty pandering just to extract as much money as the entertainment industry wishes to collect, rather than taking steps into making their projects truly diverse.

My two cents.

And I got Loona-

"Like Loona, you are independent, edgy, and fiercely protective of those you care about. You have a tough exterior, but beneath it lies a deeply loyal and caring heart. Your sharp wit and no-nonsense attitude help you navigate through challenges with confidence and resilience. While you may come across as aloof, your friends know they can always count on you for support and honesty. Embrace your inner Loona, and continue to balance your fierce independence with the deep connections you cherish."

I'm pleasantly amused.

And the results are:

"Your toxic trait:

I'm a Drama Llama. I think I am deeper and more unique than most people, but am actually just high-maintenance. Self-awareness is the first step!"


Well, I try not to be.

So I'm trying some of those AI art generators here and there, and while some think this may well be an alternative to actually pick up your pencil and create your own thing...it isn't.

Sure, some results look nice, especially with likes of Pokemon and other well known IPs. But mostly something tragic spews out the results, which comes to the equivalent of sheer nightmare fuel with characters sprouting extra limbs, fingers, eyes, etc...or becoming a melty mess to the point you have no idea WTF you're looking at.

So if anyone believes they could use such "generated" content for the sake of becoming a better artist, I'll tell you that it could potentially make your skills a whole lot worse.

I'm not that skilled at drawing, but I at least know where eyes on a face are placed.

Just saying.

Still, its amusing to see what mess it shoots out whenever I try and poke it.

I stumbled upon this community through an interest search. The last post in this community was in 2010. Besides all these fan fiction communities, I feel like DW is dead. I also don't like all the writing communities where you have to sign up.
I stayed up until almost 1:30 this morning writing.

I feel left out that I just barely discovered the "Supernatural" series. It's freaking awesome! I can't believe I'm so behind on it, I'm still barely on the second season.

You know that expression "I put my pants on one leg at a time, just like everyone else"? Well you know who doesn't? Batman (the Adam West version, anyway). Also, even if they are sometimes The Wrong Trousers, Wallace.

I've had the book "Don Quixote" for a month now and I'm barely on chapter ten. It's a good book but ever since last year I've stopped being the bookworm that could read for hours without stopping. *sigh* Need to get a move on.

Can't wait till school starts next month.

For a pacifist, I sure have a lot of icons with guns in.

Well, ten in one hundred and ninety-eight, but it's still a noticeable trend probably only beaten by "guys" (one hundred and nineteen) or "girls" (seventy-five). Stuff like colours and fandoms and icon techniques and text don't count.

I'm starting to think that DW was overrated. :(

I think I actually look really, really adorable today. My hair dried all curly and fluffy.

And I'm pretty much convinced that all these 'social networking' sites are nothing more than elaborate, global sessions of Show and Tell.

This becomes especially clear when you see how some of the kids in the class behave.

I have 11 books in my desk at work. I should probably start finishing some of them.

I hate it when my internets aren't working right. I'm also wondering how many people are using dw.

Summer never really seems like a complete season for me. I don't take advantage of it as much as I should.

I should not have looked at the prop8 tag on Twitter. I cannot believe people really think that way... :(

It was like a slap to the face seeing the card meant for me on postsecret.

Even if the words were kind, having them made public felt like such betrayal.
