A community for progressive issues, social justice and LGBT+ causes in media, gaming, entertainment and tech.

Official replacement for Reddit's r/GamerGhazi

Content should be articles, video essays, podcasts about topics relevant to the forum. No memes, single images or tweets/toots/... please!

Community rules:

Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules

No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.

No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.

No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.

Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.

No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.

Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.

NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.

Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

Article by TechCrunch: Writers on the fan fiction platform AO3 are increasingly locking access to their stories for non-registered users in order to avoid the crawlers of AI companies scrapping the text for training of their AI models.

This always seems so silly. As if their fanfic is going to make some significant change to the model or affect them in any way at all.

People reacting like this just seems like uneducated hysteria and drama. People so desperate to be victims they blow out of proportion things that don't even affect them.

This is really old news, if you want to go the opposite way and poison the AI then write omegaverse fics 😉

This is silly. It takes 5 minutes for an account creation bot to create an account and get to read the stories, and the author's back at cero.

The true trick is to remember that companies are using fics as free labour to create sellable stuff and thus that stuff has to be SFA (Sanitized For Advertisers), and use that for your advantage: publishing smut, kink, furry and whatever else, and AIs won't touch it.
