adobe is actively pushing to make art styles intellectual property covered under copyright law and artists online are doing shit like this
you guys are all so fucked like you dont even understand what youre doing do you seriously think this is in your favour for the love of god hello am i alone in this world. youre leading yourself to the slaughter
Also, if your problem is AI art: Adobe is also making an ai art generator
Adobe does not want to ban AI art. They want it to only exist in the hands of wealthy copyright holders. They want art styles to be copyrighted for the same reason: so they can make money from owning other people’s work. So they can sue you for drawing something too similar to an art style they own
Adobe is not your friend. Expanding copyright law is far more dangerous for artists than AI will ever be

“writers deserve attention more than actors” literally only 2% of actors can pay the bills with acting. For every megastar on screen there are a dozen other people in the shot who are SAG. Acting gets so glamorized but there are SO MANY people in SAG who NEED residuals to live on. Background Party Girl #4 needs her check too!!!! There are people who play recurring characters on syndicated shows who cant afford health insurance!!! Ke Huy Quan gave an oscar winning performance and LOST HIS HEALTH INSURANCE the next year.

Always nice when math helps make it all the more clear how ridiculously reasonable the worker demands are.
This is what the studios have brought everything to a grinding halt for.

i wish i could see this picture for the first time again
Every time I see some gamerbro edit of a female video game character to make her ‘prettier’, I always see something I have mentally dubbed Cockroach Wife Syndrome (in honor of the guy who accidentally conditioned himself to only be aroused by a fantasy of his cockroach wife Ogtha).
That is to say, there is a certain subset of gamerbro who interacts so rarely with real women, that his primary touchstone for how women look is fiction: often video games and anime. So when a video game woman looks too realistic–too close to having traits that one might find in real flesh and blood women–this is foreign to them. This is unattractive. They have been jacking it to hentai and blender animation porn for too many years, and have inadvertently conditioned themselves to only be sexually aroused by the exaggerated cartoonish traits of animated women.
So now every time I see one such edit, I can’t help but think. My. What a coincidence you’ve made her look more like an anime waifu. Truly dedicated to your cockroach wife.
You can’t just breeze over something like “the guy who accidentally conditioned himself to only be aroused by a fantasy of his cockroach wife Ogtha” without at least linking a 20 minute video breakdown of this man’s descent into madness.
Oh is Ogtha not common knowledge? Eight years ago this was posted on reddit:
Two years ago, we got this update on the life of this roachfucker:
TLDR it’s a guy who became obsessed with human-sized roaches with human intelligence after reading Kafka in high school, an obsession which eventually came to monopolize his romantic interests (and has sporadically had catastrophic impacts on his life ever since).

Anyone telling me myths about 18th century women dying in fires is automatically getting ten thwacks with a very heavy cast iron skillet
Death statistics backed up by actual bills of mortality are of course exempt and rewarded with baked goods
for me it’s like
Era Where Open Flame Was Massive Part of Everyday Life Had Higher Rates of Fire Death (Regardless of Gender) Than Era Where Many People’s Days Only Involve Fire If Something’s Gone Horribly Wrong
shock! astonishment! laying all the blame on long skirts! </s>
Yup, but mostly like…we are so letting our modern lack of fire education color our history??? Like we’re so terrified of fire because it’s NOT a part of our daily lives anymore that we assume that we would die if we had to wear long skirts and cook. So we just assume that people of the past, who were obviously dumber than us, must have died by the thousands, to the point where most people claim that it was the second highest cause of death, a statistic that was pulled straight out of thin air and passed around for generations. And I’m just like HELLO? CAN WE GIVE COLONIAL WOMEN SOME AGENCY HERE???
I hang out in the Victorian period, but same. Have the mortality stats to back it up: disease is the overwhelming cause of death in every source I’ve looked at c.1830-1870, with stillbirths making up a notable category, and all forms of misadventure (fire, drowning, falls, homicide) together causing fewer deaths than almost any one of the named diseases.
Cholera. Tuberculosis. Meningitis. Dysentery. Scarlet Fever. Yellow Fever. Diseases that many of us can avoid with vaccinations, sanitation, and antibiotics.
I cut a whole rabbithole about census mortality tables and vital statistics, but here’s a small example:
In 1850, the State of Massachusetts recorded 16,606 deaths. For 16,062 of these cases, a cause of death was recorded. Of those, 763 deaths were attributed to old age; 14,693 to disease*; and 606 to all forms of ‘violence.’**
Burns and scalds (together) were the causes of 56 deaths. That’s 0.34% of all deaths recorded in Massachusetts in 1850, including persons of all ages and genders. In contrast, 1.2% of all recorded deaths were attributed to childbirth/puerperal fever, and 26.2% of all recorded deaths were from “sporadic diseases”, with each of cholera, cholera infantum, croup, diarrhea, dysentery, erysipelas, fever (and sub-subcategory typhus fever), whopping cough, measles, scarlatina, and small pox causing more deaths than the combined burns/scalds category. Consumption, counted among other lung ailments instead of the sporadic disease category, caused 22% of recorded deaths in the state; pneumonia was responsible for another 0.52%.
*Childbirth and puerperal fever were categorized under the “diseases of the generative organs
**Drowning, falls, hypothermia, heat-related deaths, murder, suicide, poison, and even lightning strikes fall under this category.
