      @bear_necessities Huh… Cause I definitely remember them saying something about not posting explicit scenes. Maybe it was before I joined.

              I mean, I’m 42 years old and have been around women having ovulation all my life. I guess I just don’t think of it as a big deal.

                    okay so discord has been gaslighting me as i tried to find the convo where the story of @bear_necessities’ screenshot was passed onto me, and thundergulch’s site is gone now and isn’t accessible via the wayback machine as a personal attack on me.

                    but. wasn’t it you?? wasn’t BN’s screenshot from one of your logs?? i remember finding the log at the time and seeing it live. (because, i mean, it was the type of thing to put in a log that gets passed around for people to boggle at, sorry.) and my memory is pretty good and i s2g it was you

                      Now I want to add solicitation-friendly disclaimers at the end of the log to all my scenes regardless of veracity because I’m sick like that.

                              Ned went to bed early after this. Page for detailed log of all the groans and creaking noises he makes while retiring.

                                I wonder which I would judge myself less for: stealing a celebrity’s image to use as a PB, or using an AI-generated image that I can be pretty confident stole its contents from some artist’s work.

                                  Why choose? I recommend feeding a celebrity name into it too so you get a bit of everything.

                                    I’m tempted to go full circle and not use a PB at all, in future.

                                        @GF If the way most image models are trained bothers you, get Adobe Firefly or another generative image AI that uses fully licensed source materials.

                                          My still-favorite: People who choose a PB and then for some reason make them like half a foot over or under their actual height (which usually results in all the men being 6’4" and all the women being 5’2").

                                          I’m still waiting for my big strapping Danny DeVito lumberjack. Maybe I just need to do this myself.

                                          I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
                                          I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
                                          I’ll get onto it when I give a shit

                                            As a bit of a devil’s advocate here:

                                            Not touching on the subject of AI imagery b/c that’s still a really sticky mess that I’ve not solidified my feelings on.

                                            When it comes to using celebrities as playedbys I really feel like people get too hung up on it. Saying that you’re “stealing” a public available image is a little bit insulting. When we use celebrities as playedbys we’re not, I fucking hope, going out and finding our favorite celebrity and taking a picture of them like some sort of weird paparazzi stalker. We’re finding publicly available imagery.

                                            We are then saying ‘this is kind of what this character we write about looks like’. We don’t make money off of it. We are not stealing royalties from the celebrity by using their image as an inspiration. Because this is a free hobby that the only money involved is hosting the servers and the domain names. Players aren’t paid for their writing, staff are not paid for providing games.

                                            It is fair more harmless a hobby than say people who do twitch streams of tabletop RPG and use celebrity images to represent their characters. Or say steal images from artists. Or even so far as to commission a fantasy rendition of their favorite actor as their character. That to me crosses a line.

                                            What we do in the hobby is a hobby that is creative and transformative and none of us are making money off of it.

                                            (If you are somehow making money off of MUSHing, please tell me how.)

                                            Like, I’m not trying to start a fight or say I don’t get your point-- I do. You don’t liked celebrities used as playedbys and that’s fine for you to have that stance. But the new byline that we’re stealing from actors by using them as a media representation of characters we write about kind of irks on me. We’re not stealing anything. There’s such thing as fair use and transformative works but also we’re not stealing b/c we’re not profiting off of them.
