Always Be Sus Of Ideas That Confuse The Value Of Art With Technical Skill, Talent, Or Hard Work. There's

Artistic freedom is part of your mental autonomy, that you have the right to communicate with people in the way you feel you need to, you can express your thoughts/feelings etc. you can manipulate ideas, that's a real freedom

property rights are exclusively designed to control people and enforce economic inequality and when applied to creative concepts this is extra true, I would even consider it a kind of emotional/psychological violence because it stops people from communicating with each other

fanfic/meme images exist in an unenforced niche, they are not legal under copyright

This is absolutely a correct statement if it was just about personal remixes, but the context here is about businesses using other people's work without permission. It has nothing to do with whether or not you're allowed to remix it yourself. If a company has the means to use someone's work in a for-profit venture, then they have the means to pay someone for the product of their labour. These companies don't even use other people's IP in a novel way that bends IP law to create something that contributes to culture; the loss of culture if sellers of Redbubble t-shirts couldn't just take pictures from the internet and sell them for 40 bucks anymore would be negligible compared to, say, losing Lasgna Cat alone would be.

its already illegal for redbubble sellers to do that though. thats already not allowed. like thats already literally a copyright violation under current copyright law and guess what: because random people posting their fanart online don't have the money to afford a corporate lawyer, it just keeps happening and will keep happening, because copyright law never has and never will defended anyone but the wealthy. like this fantasy of your art as a Small Artist being protected by copyright law is just that, a fantasy, it doesn't happen and will never happen. you are completely detached from reality!

it feels like we're only beginning to realize how much psychological heterogeny exists among humans

let's forget about the idea of human nature together

forget stuff like Good Flag Bad Flag and all that discourse, the world's best flags are those banners carried by Chinese lineage/support associations that have fringed edges and writing

Although the 3d Yume Nikki never looked interesting to me, this entity (Wrapi/Warpie) does. Maybe because it's not a reproduction of something from the original game, it can be appreciated by itself. It's good!

people often talk about how AI makes small choices that a human would never make if they were drawing the image, but when I see Reach's art I feel as if this tendency has been harnessed to create an atmosphere of almost hallucinatory vividness. It's beyond what I've seen in most illustrator's stuff

Nelly Dean has an aura of being a normal person looking in on the chaos, but she's pretty self-deceptive about how malicious she was towards Catherine. 'Oh, she was just sort of proud, so I kind of liked to humble her' and then she describes very manipulative and dishonest stuff she did to torment Catherine... She's probably one of the less malicious people but because she's the narrator we see a lot of the bad stuff she does.

Not using the terms bad person or good person because those terms aren't real and cause mind/soul decay

Although I don't think it's something from the game, the guest book on the silvery tablecloth, against those walls, gives the exact vibes of a scene from Ib but in real life. Whoever designed this knew what they were doing!

I went to the Ib exhibition!!! Here’s some pictures!!!! I couldn’t include everything because tumblr only allows 10 images on mobile only which is a bummer

It was really cool!! Some of the paintings actually moved, and there was a section where we were given VR headsets and got to experience the doll room scene with Garry and the key which was very neat!! Also Garry’s acrylic stand at the gift shop was totally sold out LOL

the thing I actually hate abt AI art is not that it has no creative intent behind it (that's not necessary for art imo) or that it trains on ppls stuff (I don't like intellectual property) but that it has a tendency to homogenize everything and present us with what we already expect, reinforce really stupid stereotypes etc. This can be illustrated with how in Minecraft AI it never lets you get to an interesting new world like the Nether and always takes you back to the familiar overworld

If only there was a technology that wasn't predictive, but actively hostile and gave us the opposite of what we expected...
