To the "but what about copyright abolition" people:

There's a clear difference between someone making a meme with an image they taken out of context, or a musician using a sample taken from a song the original artist never seen a single penny from it, or an artist making a fanart of their favorite character, and the AI industry scraping all of it and selling it as a "better, more advanced replacement" of all of it.

You're also against the LGBTQ+ community?

Also "pornography" is a harder to define term, and can be "circumvented" by calling it "child erotica" or "child artistic nudity", and CSAM producers used them to get around anti-CSAM laws while they could. Today some of the distributors try to claim they're "just recordings of a crime".

If Biden didn't support Israel, he would have been smeared as an antisemite.

I'm thinking on going back to optical media, for archiving purposes. It's even ransomware-resistant.

Gen Z are quite dumb. Some of them suggested me to modify my game engine to be able to be ran from a browser, I politely decline every time (I still need to move the rendering from the CPU to the GPU, since I figured out how to do retro pixel-perfect graphics, all with color lookup).

The Heritage Foundation not only helped Orbán into power, but also learned a lot from their playbook.

In Hungary, state institutions like the police of the tax bureau only target people and companies outside of Fidesz'es interest group. That's what they want to adapt, so every company will fall in line with Project 2025.

I woke up much sooner than when they ate my face. It was when they stripped a "supposed foreigner" of their company. The proof of them being a foreigner were having "stein" in their name, a "suspicious nose not common among real Hungarians", not being religious, and supporting liberalism.

I'm a disabled person, who voted Fidesz in 2010, and my face got eaten by the leopards. Due to the nature of my disability, I won't receive any help, I'm barred from driving cars thus barred from many local jobs. Those who can are re-examined every few years, and even amputees are body-searched sometimes for "tied-up limbs", and are preferred to instead seek some job which is specifically made for the disabled, which thanks to local version of ableism, is largely something specialized for the intellectually disabled, and the job descriptions often read like they were lifted from those godawful ableist jokes.

Yeah, but a lot of conservatives, and by extension fascists, are extremely hypocritical on the surface, except they like to use "hypocrisy" as a tool against their opponents, and by "hypocrisy", I mean not following the strawman version of your ideology. I personally call this as "rulebending", they're manipulating their opponents rules to be even higher and thus choking them with it.

On a deeper level they just want a lot of power, which includes them being above the law, as long as they're loyal to the dictator/king. If project 2025 succeeds, expect one of them getting caught on live with real CP, maybe even raping a child, then will just go "so what? I can do this, you are not allowed to!".

 
 

Art by me, after a typo by my friend.

 

... but it was neither as massive nor important as AI techbros claim.

It's biggest haters were (and still are) fine art elitists. You know, those grumpy men, that will scream at you for using watercolors instead of oil paints, or claiming anything not fine art (e.g. anime, comics) is not art at all. Collectors hate(d) digital, as you cannot trade JPEGs and PSDs for good money, nor early digital artists had the name recognition to inflate said prices if they could do as such.

The other part was it's mere inaccessibility due to expensive equipment and software. Back then, you only really had Photoshop (or Paint Shop Pro if you were adventurous, or Manga Studio if you knew about it and wasn't scared away by its name), which still lack support for things like rulers, so you had to use its vector graphics capabilities to get around them. This was combined with PCs that couldn't physically handle more than 4GB of RAM even if they tried, all with dual core at a long time only being an option on specialty workstation/server motherboards with 2 CPUs. This was also all before better pen tablet options. First you either had a Wacom with a screen, a Wacom without a screen, or some rebranded horror made by KYE (Genius, Trust, etc.), all while the Wacom tablets monopolized battery-free tech through patents and KYE had to rely on AAA batteries. Once we had XP-Pen and Huion with batteries (often AAAA, that are hard to obtain), we finally had some more options, but those were less available in computer shops. But once the Wacom patents expired, the lower-end tablet market become blossoming, then Manga Studio rebranded as Clip Studio Paint, and also Krita became mature enough for general use (both of which have proper on-screen ruler support). Nowadays those alternative manufacturers have even eating into the more professional market of Wacom, all while KYE have mostly disappeared from that market save for remaining stocks.

 

You know it very well why I'm asking it here.
