Yeah! Who cares about women, fuck em!
/s
People care about women, you goon. Realize that there are many more important issues affecting the global landscape, we shouldn't care about some fake naked pictures of a popstar.
I'd rather them find solutions to things like the 2 active wars happening in the world, the bubbling civil war on the American southern border, and golbel tensions reaching highs only seen at the beginning of the last 2 world wars...
Lets fix that shit before we allow ourselves the luxury of protecting peoples' shareholders.
You do realize that they wouldn’t pass a special law that would make AI generated photos of Taylor Swift illegal and everyone else’s would stay legal right?
This event is being used as a catalyst to put in proper legislation about deepfakes, something that impacts everyone but impacts your average woman much more. I agree with the other commenter that it’s unfortunate that this is the event that caused people to take this seriously, but better late than never.
Sorry, but I can’t see anyone who thinks that AI generated images of non consenting women is issue “1001 out of 1000” as someone who gives a shit about women and issues that impact them, especially as we are in the middle of an AI revolution. This is EXACTLY the time to be solving issues like this.
Absolutely, I understand that. But still, respectfully, I don't agree. The point I'm trying to make is that people care about women, in general, but the system could care less. It's gotten better in years past, but the rights between men, women, and members of any other community that identify as otherwise, are not equal whatsoever.
However, any fight we put up now to equalize those rights won't mean jack shit unless we prevent the world from turning into a glass garden from a nuclear fallout. There is an order of priority I wish would be established, and this is not the order if we wish to live as a society past the next 5 years.
I am the furthest thing away from against any "equal rights for all" movement. I want that more than anything. I hate the fact that I have to be a white man because I'd much rather fighting for a change that means something. I just look the part of one of "those people" that wishes to bury others that aren't the same and prioritize my own interest. That's not my game.
Love and peace for all, fuck straight white men.
Any policy that comes from this would also benefit men that have had to live with fake abusive images being generated of them. But some people would rather cut off their nose to spite their face. As long as women don't get stuff, then it's worth it for men have to suffer a little extra, amirite? /s
But of course, this is what it always comes back to for men who try to make some transparent argument against protecting women from fake nude photos, revenge porn, domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, etc. It's never a real argument. It's some insecure guy getting his feelings hurt by just the mention of equality. They don't feel special anymore, so they inevitably claim that women being protected from abuse is somehow a privilege. It's just tired and predictable.
I said it in another one of my replies, but suffice it to say that I'm a stranger on the internet. You don't know shit about me. Calling me a misogynist and accusing me of trying to hide behind my fancy internet words so I can continue enjoying fake porn of people I've never met in real life is the most insulting thing I've get the pleasure of receiving online.
I don't like interacting with it much, but here we are now. You can take or leave what I say, but I do everything in my power to check my privledge at the door. I'm not interested in having discussions to convince people that I'm right, I want to have these discussions because I want to learn from others' points of view. I won't ever let one persons Lemmy comment completely change my opinion on theings, but I definitely will always want to have that dialogue to hopefully better inform my opinions. We could all use a dose of active listening, because that's how problems get solved.
