The overton window of each country is unique. The far right in Australia is still less extreme than the far right in the US. For example, they likely wouldn't just dismantle healthcare for everyone. They generally all rely on populism though.
I mean, to me, a NSFW tag is equivalent to an R18+ rating and this is more of a M15+ post, maybe even just PG ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Seems a bit puritan to mark this as NSFW, no? I'm pretty sure under-18 year olds can get a boner.
Did we culturally forget that digital art and photoshopping exist for a minute?
for me it was lil bi boy to big (mostly) gay woman. i feel like i craved connection to my community.
I mean, my issue was you deciding to comment "harry potter is great" in this thread. There's a difference between separating the art from the artist, and defending it to folks who don't like it.
I mean, if it's not malice then it's ignorance in my opinion.
While I do have fond memories of the books in the past, it's hard not to feel gross when I see anything about them now. I just finished watching the Carmilla webseries and it has some HP references because the last season was released before JK went cuckoo and they were hard.
Also, this comic was released two days ago, for what it's worth. Hard not to see that as tacit support, given they could have just as easily done any sort of witch.

Well, he's still blabbing away, but I couldn't tell you what he's talking about now—I checked out a while ago.
I know Jim is retiring at the end of June, but he's already checked out if you ask me.
The kids are already checked out and in summer vacation mode.

Mentioning the genital inspections of little girls while this whole Epstein files debate happens seems prescient.

Can't believe I had to have this conversation again today, with someone who should know better. You can't just un-racist a word because it makes you feel bad man.
Edit to add more context:
Rice burner is a pejorative term originally applied to Japanese motorcycles and which later expanded to include Japanese cars or any East Asian-made vehicles. Variations include rice rocket, referring most often to Japanese superbikes, rice machine, rice grinder or simply ricer.
Riced out is an adjective denigrating a badly customized sports car, "usually with oversized or ill-matched exterior appointments". Rice boy is a US derogatory term for the driver or builder of an import-car hot rod. The terms may disparage cars or car enthusiasts as imposters or wanna-bes, using cheap modifications to imitate the appearance of high performance.
The term is often defined as offensive or racist stereotyping. In some cases, users of the term assert that it is not offensive or racist, or else treat the term as a humorous, mild insult rather than a racial slur.
I'd like you to read this from a guy who's father is from the Philippines. His mother is American. Then have a good think about it. Actually think about it for a day or so.
Palting: (reenlist forums)
*When you call a car a "ricer", you are saying that it is not a nice car, possibly even an atrocious car. I don't believe you will ever hear a statement like "Look at that gorgeous ricer!!" So, in response to the question, is it derogatory, the answer is that the term ricer is most definitely derogatory.
The question then becomes, is it racist? The term "ricer" was coined to denote the cars that were made in Japan or Korea that were subsequently modded and are obnoxious to the observer. You can ask 100 people what car brand comes to mind when you say "ricer" and 100 of them will come up with an Asian brand. Ask those same 100 people what country or race comes to mind, and 100 will say some Asian country. We can safely say that "ricer" would indicate the Asian culture where rice is the staple food. We can define a term racist if the term pertaining to a race or a race's cultural character is considered derogatory. Therefore, the term ricer is most definitely racist.
If, lets say, one of the African nations built a car, would you call it a "******"? The term "ricer" most definitely belongs in the same category as ******, slant-eyes, gook and what have you. Shame on anyone who uses the term and who does not realise it is very definitely racist.
My mother is from the USA, my father is from the Philippines. I was born and raised in the Philippines. I am a Filipino. I am not a "halfer", nor "mestizo", nor anything other than a Filipino national who chose to reside in the US as an American citizen.*

You would think OpenAI wouldn't want to set the precedent that AI has the rights of a person, considering how they want AGI to be the slave labour to replace all human workers.
