Let us also remember this social milieu revolving around AI apparently aren’t great at age verification for events, considering a 13 year old claims he was able to get into AI group house parties: bsky.app/profile/fain...

“creates a culture that is toxic and hostile to women.” I mean isn’t that their goal? When have corporations not wanted to return to the madmen era? And now they want to hide assault behind “excuses” of autism apparently and host sex parties so consent is ALWAYS implied (the women *chose* to attend)

Those demos reveal more about what companies choose to showcase than what the models can do. A better benchmark would span ordinary scenes and show control over pacing, camera, and continuity.

Lol im really cooked, i meant autustic people

Absolutely

Which is a category Aella herself falls into, and the whole, "homeschooler from Moscow, ID," of it all feels like a skeleton key that explains so much about her

There are days I wish I couldn't read. 🤢 Not really but... damn. ND woman here. I can barely stand a group of people, period. This? Hells NO. And tho I also suck at social cues I make up for that by not being awkward but obnoxious. I will tell someone to fuck off in 2 seconds. I can't imagine.

It just seems like "what if already unpleasant dance club was also extra gross texturally" before any of the ai pro-rape stuff gets added in and like.....I have to wear gloves to wash dishes I don't think I have a brain that could be a fan of orgies lmao

I don't even like regular parties!! I definitely don't want to be at one where being naked in front of coworkers is mandatory!

Oh - here's the fan I was thinking of at first. It's from the very long thread to the first link. readercon.livejournal.com/21805.html?t...

It may shock some people, but being a cunt isn't a disability.

I think a lot of people who pull this excuse are deliberately trying to bury that it's actually very easy to err on the side of "it's a default no unless you get a very clear and direct yes, with multiple confirmations". It's really offensive to pretend autistic people can't understand that.

There are many, many honorable men in the autistic community who have called out assholes like Elon for years for trying to use autism as an excuse for bad behavior. I have much respect for them.

Exactly. But the asholes are now being awarded with positions in government and held up as tech titans, it gets depressingly difficult to combat the glazing they get from the media.

It’s been tough, but two years of time and 600 miles of distance have helped me heal a lot

I'd be careful thinking that motives are/can easily understood/teased out, as it subtly shifts responsibility into urself, releasing from accountability the other actor who can very well be playing a double, triple, or quadruple game. We don't teach how to distill incentives/core motives.

The same reason I accept and understand everybody has bodily functions and wouldn't embarrass anybody for asking for toilet paper or a tampon but still fully expect them not to shit on the floor in front of me.

I think this is part of the totality of work culture in SF/SV, where all your friends and social life comes from work. Personally, I like to know as little as possible about my co-workers’ lives (unless I specifically choose otherwise).

types of play is a self contradiction. Even if you knew for a stone cold fact everyone there was deeply experienced in this play and enthusiastically contented to it numerous times before, it just cannot be done between any two new-to-each-other people without individual and detailed consent.

i almost wish i had social media clout for a brief moment so i could get them called the "red flags" instead of "rationalists"

yeah, your comment sparked the association for me. and, if what i understand of the rats' practices is valid, they're *encouraging* her to see the behavior as logical/good and to do more of it. like at a really basic level, not just the social media fame

Thanks for this context, that helps anyone and is absolutely different!

It certainly isn't confined to just that sector, unfortunately. 😣

AND THAT'S NOT EVEN GETTING INTO THE OTHER ABSOLUTE BARE MINIMUMS LIKE SAFEWORDS AND AFTERCARE JESUS FUCKING AAAAARGHHH

There are ways to do this risk-aware and consensually, to make sure everyone is as safe as possible and knows what they're getting into. This is. Not that. Quite possibly *on purpose*.
