KIA has been collectively losing their mind over Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 for some time now. Their hate boner for it makes them believe basically anything you say about it and they are constantly looking for new things to be mad about. First it turned out that in the capital city there was A BLACK GUY as a foreign envoy, clear evidence of woke tampering since we all know black people were invented in San Francisco in 1998

Not only that, but you can choose to frick a MAN in this game, something our beloved anti-woke games from the past such as the mass effect series would NEVER have permitted.

Then they all decided that actually the game was child porn because the guy who's obviously in his 20s that you frick is loosely based on a real historical person with a different name who historians don't know when he was born, but one proposed year of his birth if you take it as true and apply it to the year of the game would mean that he is 15! Vavra is a libertarian!

The latest news is that it turns out the one black guy actually CUCKS you and fricks your wife and forces her to have a black baby and you're forced to raise it! The fact this is obviously not true is no barrier to KIA posters believing it and furiously downmarseying anyone who points out how obviously untrue that is

It's worth pointing out that back during the Hogwarts Legacy drama much of this was familiar. People were desperate to find something to complain about and for example said that this was an antisemitic reference because it looks like some ancient Jewish wind instrument that looks nothing like it

At the time KIA was gloating about how stupid the SJWs were for getting up in arms over nothing and making up things to be mad about. How the turn worms...

You are fully retarded.

SpaceX could have brought them back several months ago.

The image attached is ironic, read to find out why!

CHAPTER 1: PRELUDE

An observer of internet culture from the years will have no doubt prototypised the phenomenon that will be referred to as the "Satanic Fandom Process." This is the process upon which "media" with a certain set of traits will tend to attract the "archetypical fandom" and the necessary consequences of such a development. An astute observer will easily be capable of listing examples such media entities, including: Rwby, Steven Universe, Homestuck, Undertale, Five Nights at Freddy's as well as many examples of foreign and especially Japanese media entities, that will follow a very similar "life cycle", the aforementioned SFP.

Before, however, we chart the SFP, we must discuss the shared traits of these media entities. The major shared traits, that any fandom will have likely a significant amount of, but will not necessarily have all of, can be defined as follows:

The series must be exciting and watchable on the surface level, with big moments that can stick in popular perception and attract new fans, This trait is always present. It should also be easy to find, on a platform such as youtube for instance, this trait is often present.

The characters do not have specific depth or complexity, they do not stray far from the archetypes they are based on, or at least this should be the image presented to the fandom. A series of shallow archetypes as main characters is easy to relate to and project on, which will attract the casual viewer, but crucially, this is necessary to appeal to a key fandom growth group, the "fanfiction writers." and will allow plenty of freedom to transform the original media. This is commonly done by putting the characters in foreign situations, the shallowness will aid in accurately determining their actions without going "out of character". Especially crucial to this is the characters being "cute" or "angsty", as this provides for compelling fan created drama, especially when the two traits are two sides of a dialectical process.

The entity is likely a visual medium, and will have a aesthetically easy art style. This ties into the "watchability factor" discussed earlier but also appeals to another key fandom growth group, the fanartists. An aesthetically pleasing and easy art style will make it easy to create eye catching fan pieces which will appeal to the casual audience, especially considering...

Vaguely socially liberal political undertone. Liberal ideas about race, sexuality and economic hierarchy is likely to be present throughout the series. This will make it easy for a typical young person to project themselves on the shells of characters. The liberal ideas about sexuality are the most crucial here, as the aforementioned fan artists will feel comfortable creating pornography. It goes without saying that pornography is almost always the single biggest driver of fandom growth and especially fandom retention.

On a meta level, a strong level of communication between the fan base and the creators. This will inevitably create a parasocial relationship between the two, with a high chance of overt worship of the creators.

Once, these traits of the media entity have been determined, we can outline the "Satanic fandom process" in a vague chronology

Step one: The media entity will be created

Step two: The earliest fandom will be attracted. They will stick around due to the promise and begin creating fanworks to attract more fans.

Step three: The creation of subreddits and groomercord communities creates a sense of community amongst complete strangers

the following events are not guaranteed and may occur in any order

a major figure in the fandom is outed for sexual predation which destabilizes the fandom, especially if the response proves to be inadequate

the creator makes a "misstep" in their supposed liberal values (this could also be the figure outed) and thousands of people send death threats due to the loss of faith in their "hero"

as a consequence of the previous two or not, video essayists and other miscellaneous critics jump on perceived flaws in the writing quality and create drama and groomercord

if these contradictions are resolved or avoided, the series can end with minimal issue

if not, the creator is run off the platform, either chased or tired of the "harassment" and "stress" the process of creation has fostered in them.

This concludes the archetypical example of the Satanic Fandom Process

Chapter 2: OBSERVATIONS

Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning is a series that has "archetypal fandom" traits that has, to my admittedly limited knowledge, suffered only a mild to negligible dose of the "Satanic Fandom Process." It is not the focus of this post. What is important is a piece of fan work that was created for it.

Namely, a music video intended as tribute.

What is important to our story is that this music video was, itself, parodied.

this parody would become what is now known as "Fundamental Paper Education" was a reanimation of the video with original characters, created by a very young, obviously mentally unstable child

(Kid doesn't even know a planet with the Lehman Brothers on it 😭🙏)

The video is now deleted, but amassed tens of millions of views while it was still up. The unexpected popularity of the series caused the bewildered child to make wild promises about creating a full series.

Now, you see the inherent problem. A person 15, 16 years old making wild promises of a full series based of a series of funny drawings they made to a baldis basic tribute music video.

The pressure built up, and on november 24th 2024, they unlisted the original video (THE ONE SINGLE SINGLE PIECE OF CONTENT THE FANDOM WAS OPERATING OFF) released a statement relaying the idea that they were already burned out from the sudden surge in popularity but remained hopeful this would resolve. This was identified as a "misstep in liberal values" and she was summarily sent threats and harassment, with defenders and detractors also coming under fire.

On january 27th, every FPE related post on the creators twitter page was removed without notice. They changed their bio to "I just want to start over again" and shortly after removed that as well

On February 11th, the entire twitter page was summarily purged and she deleted every community post on her youtube channel

On February 14th, has made all of her videos private and also hid her last post on her YouTube channel, as well as changing her bio to "Fall is my favorite season🍁". Before erasing this as well.

The Satanic Fandom Process, though accelerated, has reached it's inevitable conclusion.

This is where the project currently stands. completely scuttled before it even left the harbour. Throughout all this there was never a single official episode.

Chapter 3: SATIRISM

But here is the promised subversion. Throughout this entire process, the fandom has been almost completely unreactive. The subreddit has been posting fanart of the characters without missing a SINGLE BEAT. They literally don't even care there is ZERO official content, the fandom has become the content.

https://old.reddit.com/r/FundamentalPaperEdu/comments/1iqpami/art_tips/

https://old.reddit.com/r/FundamentalPaperEdu/comments/1iqejbr/if_fpe_fandom_make_fpe_movie/

The mods has banned talking about the fact that, y'know, THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT.

And look at this

The redditors want to build a fandom off NOTHING. That was the irony of this post's image, the IMDB page is for a tv show that DOES NOT EXIST AND HAS NEVER EXISTED.

This is the punchline of the whole living joke. It's a vicious parody of earth by the world itself. There is NO content for there to be a fandom of and the cycle repeated ANYWAYS. The Satanic Fandom Process occurred to NOTHING. People were threatened over NOTHING, people were harassed over NOTHING. The reaction has BECOME THE OBJECT. It is a living, breathing, pulsating SATIRE of the entire fandom process.

When will the wholesome sexual healthcare subs be restored? Or was this intentional? Qualifications for an overturn are either:

• an explicit statement from admin saying it was a bug/oversight and will be/is being corrected, OR

• any of the following subs being unbanned (selected at random from a post I saw): /r/rule34, /r/overwatchporn (or /r/overwatch_porn idk), /r/legalteens

This is the story of James Sligo Jameson (pictured below) who was a Scottish naturalist well known for being the first person to identify several species in birds found within the African continent. Though he is less known for his adventures in birding and more known for the time that he purchased a young slave in the African Congo so he could see her eaten by a tribe he came in contact with.

BACKSTORY

Cannibalism in Central Africa, particularly in the Congo region, was heavily reported on European explorers and missionaries long before the Jameson Affair. It was said that the flesh of young children was particularly enjoyed. During this time in the Congo, and slaves were often from members of other tribes who were not born into captivity but stolen and forced into slavery through raids. Children were seen as useless so made into some use by being eaten. Particularly well off chiefs of Congo tribes were also said to raise children just like animals for the sole purpose of being eaten. Doing this probably wasn't just for food but also a way for tribes to dominate their slaves and to flaunt wealth in some cases. Accounts of this happening were often sensationalized and exaggerated by explorers and missionaries which made many later explorers become interested in witnessing first hand these acts.

The white man of course also took advantage of this, slaves were given in exchange for ivory that was exported to Europe with knowledge that the slaves would be eaten. (Pictured below, whites taking advantage of African slaves in Africa) Slaves would also be rented from slavers for cheap as they would be eaten upon return.

The Jameson Affair

The Emin Pasha Relief Expedition took place aithin the Congo free state which though owned and exploited by the Beglians still had many Africans living outside of plantations and such. The expedition was led by Henry Morton Stanley to rescue Emin Pasha, the governor of Equatoria (a province of Ottoman-Egyptian Sudan), who was threatened by Mahdist forces. Deapite the stated mission it is likely that the expedition was carried out to further Survey and Expand Belgian colonization into Congolese lands. James Jameson joined expedition as he was interested in the continent of Africa and intended to catalogue and record what he saw there.

James Jameson was reportedly very interested in the practice of African cannibalism. During the expedition he travelled in some part with an infamous African slaver known as Tippu Tip. When stopped in a town known as Riba Riba With Tippu Tip (Modern day Lokandu In the D.R. Congo) he witnessed a traditional African dance celebration. Tippu Tip then told him that such festivities usually ended with a large cannibalistic banquet and that he has seen many happen in the Congo himself. James Jameson then sought information from local tribe leaders on whether or not what he had heard of African cannibalism was true. From the tribe leaders he learned that the practice was in fact common in the area and they along with Tippu Tip's men urged him to purchase a young slave and to give them over to one of the neighboring tribal villages if he actually wished to see for himself.

Following this advice James Jameson used six European made handkerchiefs and purchased a female slave from within the village whom he assessed to be around ten years old. (Pictured below, a drawing of a slave that James Jameson made himself.)

With some other members of his expedition party James Jameson further followed what the tribal leaders of Riba Riba and Tippu Tip told him to do. He approached a nearby village of native huts that was pointed out to him. As the locals came to greet him he supposedly had his translator who could converse with the native Congolese tell them:

"This is a present from the white man. He wants to see how you eat her"

James Jameson then watched as the native Congolese tied up the slave, slaughtered her, and butchered her into pieces to be prepared and eaten. He recorded the whole process even sketching what he saw. What he drew in my opinion is way too sensitive to be posted here but he draws the native Congolese like minstrel show characters with thick lips to give you an idea of how he views these people. His recount of the act is as follows:

I sent my boy for six handkerchiefs, thinking it was all a joke ..., but presently a man appeared, leading a young girl of about ten years old at the hand, and I then witnessed the most horribly sickening sight I am ever likely to see in my life. He plunged a knife quickly into her breast twice, and she fell on her face, turning over on her side. Three men then ran forward, and began to cut up the body of the girl; finally her head was cut off, and not a particle remained, each man taking his piece away down to the river to wash it. The most extraordinary thing was that the girl never uttered a sound, nor struggled, until she fell. Until the last moment, I could not believe that they were in earnest ... that it was anything save a ruse to get money out of me ...

After this event the expedition carried on and James Jameson identified several species of African birds some of which where then named after him.

Aftermath and controversy

The occurence of the Jameson affair did not escape the knowledge of those who partook in the expedition until after James Jameson's deathen when around 1888 Assad Farran who was James Jameson's interpreter for the native Congolese issued a sworn statement recalling his account of the purchase and subsequent killing and cannibalism. The account gained widespread popularity being published in News papers across England and America, with several other members of the expedition soon concurring with the statement though some of them contradictory. All agreed upon the fact that the incident began in the house of the tribal leaders at Riba Riba, that Tippu Tip was present and told James Jameson to do it, the age of the girl, and the price he paid for her. Accounts including James Jameson's differ on whether or not he had full knowledge of what was to happen, and all retellings of the story including James Jameson's are considered to having an unreliable narrator.

The distraught widow of James Jameson soon issued a statement herself, trying to uphold James Jameson's legacy with an apparent statement on the event issued by James Jameson on his deathbed.

According to this account James Jameson supposedly did not believe that cannibalism occured in the Congo at all and thought Tippu Tip was simply joking with him about it. He apparently also thought that Tippu Tips associates telling him to pay for a slave in cloth was also a joke, and he continued to believe it was all a farce up until the moment he handed over the girl and saw her killed and eaten.

Also don't know how else to bring it up but James Jameson was an heir to the Jameson Whiskey fortune and used some that money to fund his naturalist endeavors and this expedition in particular lol.

So, what is the truth?

!historychads !BIPOCs

Just imagine having an MTX that is so fricking predatory that it makes your playerbase nostalgic for the lootbox cancer from the 2010s, and now that most of them have migrated to Marvel Rivals, you bring them back as a way of saying that you listen to your community or something !g*mers

Between 1914 and 1918 a bunch of inbred cousins thought it would be very meme to make 17 million of their slaves kill each other.

Even though each one of these countries had been scheming their war plans for decades, a group of them decided to blame it all on Germany instead of Serbia.

The most vocal were France and Belgium who wouldn't even let Germany attend the treaty it would be subjected to. They were still assmad that Prussia had defeated Napoleon III a generation earlier and that their current generation couldn't repel the Germans out of France.

They initially demanded reparations of $1 Trillion. Not an exaggeration. More specifically $1.093 Trillion in 2025 dollars. It was reduced to $442 Billion.

An important note to remember, this wasn't just paid by cash, but also paid by raw materials from mines and factories.

There were other stipulations in the treaty. Germany could not have a military greater than 100,000 men, and had to give up many of its field guns and all of its submarines.

France's economy was in the shitter, and shifted its economy to rely on payments from Germany to make ends meet. However with a depletion of a working force and bad economic conditions, sometimes German industrial outputs fell short of the quantities that France was relying on to buffer its own economy.

What was the smartest move for France and Belgium to get more money and raw materials from a country who had no money or raw materials or military?

Germany continued to default on payments. England wondered if they should be allowed time to recover and rebuild their industry so that they could make the payments after a few years.

Even though the German territory which contained their coal had been given to Poland as part of the same treaty, the Allies determined that

Germany was defaulting on their debts in bad faith!

England tried to get everyone to chill out.

But in 1923, knowing that Germany didn't have a military, France and Belgium invaded western Germany in order to force the citizens to work harder faster.

Above: France functioning at its highest IQ

German citizens felt that soldiers pointing guns at them to force them to work was slavery, so they passively resisted, and so France slaughtered 137 of them as a motivational tactic.

And yes, France billed the Central powers, including Bulgaria, for the privilege of being occupied

don't forget to tip your occupiers! (laughs in frog)

The US and UK were able to restructure the debt and gave Germany loans to stabilize it so the payments could be made. France and Belgium left their occupation positions.

Hitler, a combat veteran, watched this entire process so he decided to become the leader of Germany and make it so France and Belgium could never hurt them like this again and he succeeded.

He overplayed his hand and did some other stuff too, but honestly nobody should have cared about what he did to France and Belgium because they suck and they deserved it.

don't watch the video the guy sounds exactly like how you think he would

There is a strong possibility that the meeting between Putin and Trump will result in agreement. Putin is in the position to ask for it all. He might demand an election, the occupied territories, and Ukrainian neutrality. All these ideas have been teased.🧵6/17

Get ready for the trenches you fricking peasant scum.

How we all pretty much feel

He has gone from the kids being boring, every being boring, taking them to the park being boring. Never coming in family holidays as they were boring to currently bring on a £10,000 skiing holiday with the kids and his mistress / girlfriend. She has no kids, 10 years younger etc.

I know it's great the kids get to go but what a transformation! From a man who had never picked them up from school or attended parents evening, he can now confidently take 3 kids to another country skiing. All range of abilities and ages.

Just miffed I didn't get this husband and I got the one who couldn't even do a family walk as it was also 'boring'.

How long does the Disney Dad effect last? Or is this what he could have always been and I accepted the minimum?

So the real story will be that he's gone from a depressing life and depressing wife to someone who makes him feel happy and alive and now finds the motivation to look after himself and his family. But let's see how mumsnet interprets the situation.

Yeah, or gets her sufficiently locked in through a shared mortgage or similar that she can't easily shed him.

>pretending to be a good partner until it's difficult for them to leave and then switching it off

Apparently he's now "in a better place" to spend time with them. It's a shame mums just have to parent from the start, isn't it - we can't wait to "be in the right place" when our oldest child is 9 and a lot easier to look after. These men make me sick. I am just hoping the children can see through it.

Currently dealing with a similar situation @ThisQuickPlumFinch so I sympathise. It won't last forever, and your kids will probably see it for what it really is at the same time as enjoying the adventure. Mine do.

>oh plz oh plz start hating your father so I can feel better about myself

To balance some of the man-bashing on this thread, I'm a woman who was married to a woman, who also did nothing around the house or by way of childcare in our marriage. After she had an affair and left me she suddenly became able to do school pick ups at 3pm and take random days off at no notice to cover child's sick days etc. Yes it's hurtful that they couldn't or wouldn't do these things whilst married to you, but it's better for the kids to have 2 involved parents and that's the only sensible way to think about it in my view. The alternative achieves nothing other than bitterness and resentment (which affects the kids)

based lesbians showing some empathy for men through the shared misfortune of having to date women

I agree with it being an act. He probably wants to look like a good dad in front of his partner, maybe she is helping out too.

He's showing off, she's playing house. It won't last.

funny that foids do to interpret everything they don't like as a social performance

I really enjoyed these holidays with my Dad. It wasn't a Disney Dad effect (how horrid - no one calls you a Disney Mum when you take your kids on a holiday). It sounds like your ExH is happier now (you were clearly not a good match for each other), that's great for him and the kids. You should just focus on you trying to be happy, rather than bitter that ExH is happier now, and a better parent on his own. It's sad for you, but no need to take it personally - you just weren't a good couple together. That's OK!

but not everyone ITT is an r-slur and some suggest that spending your whole life in some neurotic seethe about an ex is probably not a good use of energy

Like it or not, generative AI is carving out its place in the world. And some Reddit users are definitely in the "don't like it" category. While some subreddits openly welcome AI-generated images, videos, and text, others have responded to the growing trend by banning most or all posts made with the technology.

To better understand the reasoning and obstacles associated with these bans, Ars Technica spoke with moderators of subreddits that totally or partially ban generative AI. Almost all these volunteers described moderating against generative AI as a time-consuming challenge they expect to get more difficult as time goes on. And most are hoping that Reddit will release a tool to help their efforts.

It's hard to know how much AI-generated content is actually on Reddit, and getting an estimate would be a large undertaking. Image library Freepik has analyzed the use of AI-generated content on social media but leaves Reddit out of its research because "it would take loads of time to manually comb through thousands of threads within the platform," spokesperson Bella Valentini told me. For its part, Reddit doesn't publicly disclose how many Reddit posts involve generative AI use.

To be clear, we're not suggesting that Reddit has a large problem with generative AI use. By now, many subreddits seem to have agreed on their approach to AI-generated posts, and generative AI has not superseded the real, human voices that have made Reddit popular.

Still, mods largely agree that generative AI will likely get more popular on Reddit over the next few years, making generative AI modding increasingly important to both moderators and general users. Generative AI's rising popularity has also had implications for Reddit the company, which in 2024 started licensing Reddit posts to train the large language models (LLMs) powering generative AI.

(Note: All the moderators I spoke with for this story requested that I use their Reddit usernames instead of their real names due to privacy concerns.)

No generative AI allowed

When it comes to anti-generative AI rules, numerous subreddits have zero-tolerance policies, while others permit posts that use generative AI if it's combined with human elements or is executed very well. These rules task mods with identifying posts using generative AI and determining if they fit the criteria to be permitted on the subreddit.

Many subreddits have rules against posts made with generative AI because their mod teams or members consider such posts "low effort" or believe AI is counterintuitive to the subreddit's mission of providing real human expertise and creations.

"At a basic level, generative AI removes the human element from the Internet; if we allowed it, then it would undermine the very point of /r/AskHistorians, which is engagement with experts," the mods of /r/AskHistorians told me in a collective statement.

The subreddit's goal is to provide historical information, and its mods think generative AI could make information shared on the subreddit less accurate. "[Generative AI] is likely to hallucinate facts, generate non-existent references, or otherwise provide misleading content," the mods said. "Someone getting answers from an LLM can't respond to follow-ups because they aren't an expert. We have built a reputation as a reliable source of historical information, and the use of [generative AI], especially without oversight, puts that at risk."

Similarly, Halaku, a mod of /r/wheeloftime, told me that the subreddit's mods banned generative AI because "we focus on genuine discussion." Halaku believes AI content can't facilitate "organic, genuine discussion" and "can drown out actual artwork being done by actual artists."

The /r/lego subreddit banned AI-generated art because it caused confusion in online fan communities and retail stores selling Lego products, /r/lego mod Mescad said. "People would see AI-generated art that looked like Lego on [Instagram] or [Facebook] and then go into the store to ask to buy it," they explained. "We decided that our community's dedication to authentic Lego products doesn't include AI-generated art."

Not all of Reddit is against generative AI, of course. Subreddits dedicated to the technology exist, and some general subreddits permit the use of generative AI in some or all forms.

"When it comes to bans, I would rather focus on hate speech, Nazi salutes, and things that actually harm the subreddits," said 3rdusernameiveused, who moderates /r/consoom and /r/TeamBuilder25, which don't ban generative AI. "AI art does not do that... If I was going to ban [something] for 'moral' reasons, it probably won't be AI art."

"Overwhelmingly low-effort slop"

Some generative AI bans are reflective of concerns that people are not being properly compensated for the content they create, which is then fed into LLM training.

Mod Mathgeek007 told me that /r/DeadlockTheGame bans generative AI because its members consider it "a form of uncredited theft," adding:

You aren't allowed to sell/advertise the workers of others, and AI in a sense is using patterns derived from the work of others to create mockeries. I'd personally have less of an issue with it if the artists involved were credited and compensated---and there are some niche AI cowtools that do this.\

Other moderators simply think generative AI reduces the quality of a subreddit's content.

"It often just doesn't look good... the art can often look subpar," Mathgeek007 said.

Similarly, /r/videos bans most AI-generated content because, according to its announcement, the videos are "annoying" and "just bad video" 99 percent of the time. In an online interview, /r/videos mod Abrownn told me:

It's overwhelmingly low-effort slop thrown together simply for views/ad revenue. The creators rarely care enough to put real effort into post-generation [or] editing of the content [and] rarely have coherent narratives [in] the videos, etc. It seems like they just throw the generated content into a video, export it, and call it a day.\

An /r/fakemon mod told me, "I can't think of anything more low-effort in terms of art creation than just typing words and having it generated for you."

Some moderators say generative AI helps people spam unwanted content on a subreddit, including posts that are irrelevant to the subreddit and posts that attack users.

"[Generative AI] content is almost entirely posted for purely self promotional/monetary reasons, and we as mods on Reddit are constantly dealing with abusive users just spamming their content without regard for the rules," Abrownn said.

A moderator of the /r/wallpaper subreddit, which permits generative AI, disagrees. The mod told me that generative AI "provides new routes for novel content" in the subreddit and questioned concerns about generative AI stealing from human artists or offering lower-quality work, saying those problems aren't unique to generative AI:

Even in our community, we observe human-generated content that is subjectively low quality (poor camera/[P]hotoshopping skills, low-resolution source material, intentional "shitposting"). It can be argued that AI-generated content amplifies this behavior, but our experience (which we haven't quantified) is that the rate of such behavior (whether human-generated or AI-generated content) has not changed much within our own community.

But we're not a very active community---[about] 13 posts per day ... so it very well could be a "frog in boiling water" situation.

Generative AI "wastes our time"

Many mods are confident in their ability to effectively identify posts that use generative AI. A bigger problem is how much time it takes to identify these posts and remove them.

The /r/AskHistorians mods, for example, noted that all bans on the subreddit (including bans unrelated to AI) have "an appeals process," and "making these assessments and reviewing AI appeals means we're spending a considerable amount of time on something we didn't have to worry about a few years ago."

They added:

Frankly, the biggest challenge with [generative AI] usage is that it wastes our time. The time spent evaluating responses for AI use, responding to AI evangelists who try to flood our subreddit with inaccurate slop and then argue with us in modmail, [direct messages that message a subreddits' mod team], and discussing edge cases could better be spent on other subreddit projects, like our podcast, newsletter, and AMAs, ... providing feedback to users, or moderating input from users who intend to positively contribute to the community.\

Several other mods I spoke with agree. Mathgeek007, for example, named "fighting AI bros" as a common obstacle. And for /r/wheeloftime moderator Halaku, the biggest challenge in moderating against generative AI is "a generational one."

"Some of the current generation don't have a problem with it being AI because content is content, and [they think] we're being elitist by arguing otherwise, and they want to argue about it," they said.

A couple of mods noted that it's less time-consuming to moderate subreddits that ban generative AI than it is to moderate those that allow posts using generative AI, depending on the context.

"On subreddits where we allowed AI, I often take a bit longer time to actually go into each post where I feel like... it's been AI-generated to actually look at it and make a decision," explained N3DSdude, a mod of several subreddits with rules against generative AI, including /r/DeadlockTheGame.

MyarinTime, a moderator for /r/lewdgames, which allows generative AI images, highlighted the challenges of identifying human-prompted generative AI content versus AI-generated content prompted by a bot:

When the AI bomb started, most of those bots started using AI content to work around our filters. Most of those bots started showing some random AI render, so it looks like you're actually talking about a game when you're not. There's no way to know when those posts are legit games unless [you check] them one by one. I honestly believe it would be easier if we kick any post with [AI-]generated image... instead of checking if a button was pressed by a human or not.

Mods expect things to get worse

Most mods told me it's pretty easy for them to detect posts made with generative AI, pointing to the distinct tone and favored phrases of AI-generated text. A few said that AI-generated video is harder to spot but still detectable. But as generative AI gets more advanced, moderators are expecting their work to get harder.

In a joint statement, /r/dune mods Blue_Three and Herbalhippie said, "AI used to have a problem making hands---i.e., too many fingers, etc.---but as time goes on, this is less and less of an issue."

/r/videos' Abrownn also wonders how easy it will be to detect AI-generated Reddit content "as AI cowtools advance and content becomes more lifelike."

Mathgeek007 added:

AI is becoming tougher to spot and is being propagated at a larger rate. When AI style becomes normalized, it becomes tougher to fight. I expect generative AI to get significantly worse---until it becomes indistinguishable from ordinary art.\

Moderators currently use various methods to fight generative AI, but they're not perfect. /r/AskHistorians mods, for example, use "AI detectors, which are unreliable, problematic, and sometimes require paid subscriptions, as well as our own ability to detect AI through experience and expertise," while N3DSdude pointed to cowtools like Quid and GPTZero.

To manage current and future work around blocking generative AI, most of the mods I spoke with said they'd like Reddit to release a proprietary tool to help them.

"I've yet to see a reliable tool that can detect AI-generated video content," Aabrown said. "Even if we did have such a tool, we'd be putting hundreds of hours of content through the tool daily, which would get rather expensive rather quickly. And we're unpaid volunteer moderators, so we will be outgunned shortly when it comes to detecting this type of content at scale. We can only hope that Reddit will offer us a tool at some point in the near future that can help deal with this issue."

A Reddit spokesperson told me that the company is evaluating what such a tool could look like. But Reddit doesn't have a rule banning generative AI overall, and the spokesperson said the company doesn't want to release a tool that would hinder expression or creativity.\

For now, Reddit seems content to rely on moderators to remove AI-generated content when appropriate. Reddit's spokesperson added:

Our moderation approach helps ensure that content on Reddit is curated by real humans. Moderators are quick to remove content that doesn't follow community rules, including harmful or irrelevant AI-generated content---we don't see this changing in the near future.

Making a generative AI Reddit tool wouldn't be easy

Reddit is handling the evolving concerns around generative AI as it has handled other content issues, including by leveraging AI and machine learning cowtools. Reddit's spokesperson said that this includes testing cowtools that can identify AI-generated media, such as images of politicians.

But making a proprietary tool that allows moderators to detect AI-generated posts won't be easy, if it happens at all. The current cowtools for detecting generative AI are limited in their capabilities, and as generative AI advances, Reddit would need to provide cowtools that are more advanced than the AI-detecting cowtools that are currently available.

That would require a good deal of technical resources and would also likely present notable economic challenges for the social media platform, which only became profitable last year. And as noted by /r/videos moderator Abrownn, cowtools for detecting AI-generated video still have a long way to go, making a Reddit-specific system especially challenging to create.

But even with a hypothetical Reddit tool, moderators would still have their work cut out for them. And because Reddit's popularity is largely due to its content from real humans, that work is important.

Since Reddit's inception, that has meant relying on moderators, which Reddit has said it intends to keep doing. As /r/dune mods Blue_Three and herbalhippie put it, it's in Reddit's "best interest that much/most content remains organic in nature." After all, Reddit's profitability has a lot to do with how much AI companies are willing to pay to access Reddit data. That value would likely decline if Reddit posts became largely AI-generated themselves.

But providing the technology to ensure that generative AI isn't abused on Reddit would be a large challege. For now, volunteer laborers will continue to bear the brunt of generative AI moderation.

So... turns out this degenerate is into pup play...

Full statement

🚨#BREAKING: The Truth

The past few days have been an unrelenting nightmare, marked by an overwhelming barrage of stress, frustration, and exhaustion that has taken a significant toll on my part. A severe and unjust breach of my personal life has occurred, and private information never intended for public exposure is now being recklessly weaponized on X/Twitter. Let me make this absolutely clear: malicious, defamatory, and entirely false accusations have been made about me, my character, and my sexuality.

I founded Rawsalerts in 2020 as an independent journ*list covering the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests at a time when people needed real, unfiltered news. What started as a small effort quickly grew into a major platform due to my commitment to accuracy, integrity, and transparency. My reporting filled a gap in mainstream media, providing breaking news coverage that millions have come to rely on.

Through tireless dedication, Rawsalerts has become one of the most influential independent news sources on social media today. I have worked day and night, sacrificing personal time and privacy, to ensure that people have access to timely and reliable information. This is not just a news page it is a community of people who seek truth over sensationalism, and I take immense pride in the platform I've built.

Let me be absolutely clear: false and malicious accusations have been made about me and my sexuality, and these defamatory rumors are being deliberately spread. These attacks are not only deeply disturbing but also a blatant attempt to damage my character and reputation.

Yes, I am a proud gay man and a proud Republican. My sexuality is not a secret, nor is it something I have ever been ashamed of. Being gay is an integral part of who I am, and I have always carried myself with dignity, honesty, and self-respect. I refuse to let anyone twist my identity into something it is not or use it as a weapon against me.

I have been in a committed marriage for many years with my partner, who works in the legal field. We have built a life together based on love, trust, and integrity. Throughout my life, I have upheld the highest standards of respect for myself and others. Like anyone else, I am entitled to a private life, and I do not owe anyone an explanation for it.

The images circulating on social media are deeply personal and private, never intended for public use or exploitation. Their unauthorized distribution is not only an invasion of my privacy but a desperate and malicious attempt to discredit me. I will not stand idly by while grotesque lies are weaponized against me. This is a calculated effort to undermine my character, and I will take all necessary actions to defend myself against these falsehoods.

No one gets to define who I am except me. I am a proud gay man, and I will not be shamed, silenced, or intimidated.

Despite my unwavering work ethic and the trust I have earned from my audience, the claims being made against me are not just misleading; they are outright fabrications, deliberately designed to destroy my reputation and credibility.

I want to be absolutely explicit: I have never engaged in anything illegal, immoral, or harmful. I have zero involvement in any of the vile and disgusting activities that have been falsely attributed to me. These allegations are beyond absurd and represent a dangerous attempt to defame my name through deceit and manipulation.

Furthermore, let me state this as clearly as possible as I have no interest in minors. Period. Anyone suggesting otherwise is engaging in a blatant act of defamation, and I will pursue every legal recourse available against those responsible.

Those responsible for this defamation will be held fully accountable. I have already initiated legal action, and I will not rest until justice is served. The reckless spread of false allegations is a serious offense, and the individuals behind this smear campaign should be prepared to face the consequences of their actions.

Legal Action is Underway Let me be clear: this defamation will not go unanswered. I have already taken legal action and will pursue every available avenue to ensure that those responsible for spreading false and harmful allegations are held accountable. Defamation is a crime, and the individuals behind this campaign will face the consequences of their actions.

I refuse to allow unfounded rumors, outright lies, and calculated attacks to define me. I have built this platform with integrity, and I will fight relentlessly to protect my name, my reputation, and the community that supports my work.

Above written by AI i guess...

So I am a bit busy now with classes and sport so don't have enough time for shit posting sadly.

Of course pro khohol will start blaming Russia. Russian didn't do any of such actions since day one and now when Zelenskyy is not popular and people hate his bussyfication and been hurting those mobilisation recruiters. Those guys in the video ain't soldiers they are mobilisation recruiters and one thing Ukrainian hate is that they use military uniform while not being part of military.

@UraniumDonGER

We are in interesting situation since Zelenskyy ignored election without jurisdiction power and Ukrainian parliament also did nothing like they could have told they let him stay as president and that would fixed everything. It will be one of main historical question in Ukrainian laws and political classes in 30 years. The problem is now that Zelenskyy doesn't have population support so he has zero excuses while he is lying like this now

‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️Ukrainians are completely against the elections and do not want to talk about them - Zelensky's clowning is already shocking the Ukrainians themselves 🤦‍♂

Is this the democracy you are fighting for that goes against every democratic principles ?

But back to main topic as you see Ukrainian now don't trust the gov so when they start busificate 18 year old and they start dying a lot of angry moms will go after Zelenskyy because a white waman today kinda has more balls than white men. That's why Zelenskyy is changing this law slowly to try to stealthy bring the law and hope not to enrage women. As I mentioned before, Trump administration when suggested this they didn't expected Zelenskyy to do it, they thought he realises in what butt he is and start co operating.

https://instagram.com/reel/DFnOkuNtovS/

But as I mentioned many times before at one point it will be time to get rid of Zelenskyy and now this starts to be very clear, he offers a thing to Trump, Trump says ok then he says "frick you Trump" and cancelling the deal. Then now he is saying he won't accept any deal Russia and US in Saudi makes tomorrow and without any invitation he is flying to Saudi

https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1irkgfr/zelenskyy_ukraine_unaware_of_russiaus_talks_in/

Zelenskyy is unaware

Yet he promto booked his flight

https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1irak0s/ukraine_rejects_bid_by_us_to_own_50_of_rare_earth/

Redditors are obviously happy that deal got cancelled because… they are r-slurs.

If US was winning in this deal no matter the outcomes that would been best deal that US could get. Yet Redditors that supposed to be majority burgers are not happy. Do USAID has some debit in their banking accounts ?

https://old.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/1irgt3n/german_chancellor_candidate_who_is_likely_to_win/

Here they jerking on some r-slur telling that Germany is not neutral and will stand with Ukraine until the end. Basically those genius pushing to support Ukraine even if U.S. stops, I mean it's great plan

If the goal is to lose Baltics, EU already gave shit tons to Ukraine and tech wise it's weaker than Ukraine, khohols have over 500 leopards tanks most EU patriot systems. EU can't pump any shells and if they try to solo this even EU will accelerate. There is good reason why all non Iranian educating guys living EU.

Redditors obviously got mad when Vance told there is no democracy in EU

This German r-slurs talks about supporting Ukraine and forcing to continue when most Germans want to end it just like most Ukrainian.

If this guy want he can send his kids and him self to hold bakhmut it will be lit but he shouldn't use we like absolute majority wants to play his delusional games.

Basically what's gonna happen is that Trump will negotiate a deal giving away everything, ask Ukraine to honor it, Ukraine will refuse, Trump will withdraw all aid and support (I think technically he already has) and then Russia and Ukraine continue fighting the war only now without US aid. The main question will be whether Trump also revokes all sanctions on Russia. Europe are the ones that have the most reason to want to go back to doing business with Russia, and America benefits more from keeping Russia out of the market so that America is Europe's main fuel supplier, but Trump's an amoral moron who'll happily cripple his entire country just to make slightly more money for his own personal wealth, so he's liable to do anything.

And Redditors still talking about morals, sending Ukrainian last mobilisation wave and their future beyond their free will do so good for future of Ukraine.

It's OVER, Zelenskyy accept a bad deal now or be offered a worse deal later but we all know now that the genius is not an idiot

And he will reject that deal and then the chapter of Zelenskyy must go will start.

So things on the front, Russian are in preparation stage so no much pushing while Ukrainian launched shit tons of counteroffensive gaining 10km last week and losing 60km while creating new pockets

And of course the trend of khohols receiving more bodies continues

So next chapter of khohols phase will be called Civil War

- Я не могу не приветствовать желание Зеленского отстоять часть национального суверенитета Украины под сильнейшим давлением Трампа и Путина.

Я даже рад тому, что он не дал навязать себе быструю сделку по редкоземельным металлам.

И вообще - говорит, что «..ничего про Украину без…

• I cannot help but welcome Zelensky's desire to defend part of Ukraine's national sovereignty under the strongest pressure from Trump and Putin.

I'm even glad that he didn't let himself be forced into a quick deal on rare earth metals.

And in general, he says that "..nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine."

But I, like few others, understand that the level of his "competence" and the peculiarities of his mental structure led to the fact that national sovereignty was first lost ideologically, and then physically.

Where is the solution?

The same place as always:

• in admitting defeat, fixing losses, transferring relations from client to partnership and - all efforts to return the real national sovereignty of Ukraine.

!transphobes

A transgender advisor to the Minister for Women in Canada who slammed President Trump's female sport ban is a runner who has dominated female categories.

Nathanielle Morin won a women's 5km race by almost six minutes in Ottawa, Ontario back in February 2024 - demolishing the rest of her competition in the female category.

She recorded a time of 25 minutes and 32 seconds, placing her first and five minutes and 44 seconds ahead of the second place runner in the women's 30-39 division.

The woman who came in third place was just 30 seconds behind second place, highlighting how close the division otherwise was.

Morin's time granted her the prestigious title of 'fastest female' across all age divisions - beating out the talented young girl who won the 10-12 age division.

Morin is an advisor to parliamentarian Marci Ien, who serves in the Liberal government as the Minister of Women, Gender Equality and Youth.

After President Trump's executive order banning transgender athletes from competing in women's divisions, Morin hit out, insisting: 'Exclusion and discrimination should not be the answer to transwomen in sport.

'This is a sensitive topic, and some people have concerns that should be heard. However, there are better ways to assess those in a healthy way that does not promote hate.'

She also shared an infographic which stated that 'trans women are women', adding: 'Research has shown that trans women are, in fact, not biological men... Excluding trans women hurts all women.

'In order to exclude trans women, you must police all bodies in the women's category. Any girl or woman can be accused of being transgender. At what point is a girl ''too good'', ''too masculine'' or ''too tall'' or ''too fast'' or ''too strong'' to be accused of being trans?'

Morin later said that running is like 'meditation, therapy and self improvement' for her, revealing she has nine competitions scheduled for 2025.

'I am aware that my participation in so many competitions is and will be talked about because of my medical history.

'The situation in the United States and comments of certain politicians do not help either... I have undergone a medical transition. I consider that I have the legitimacy to participate in the right category, unless the law prohibits me from doing so.'

Morin noted that in Canada there is no law stopping her from entering female categories, but vowed to 'comply with local laws' for international competitions.

Shortly after returning to the White House for his second stint as President, Trump vowed to ensure that no transgender athletes participated in women's sports at the 2028 summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Trump surrounded himself with female athletes and activists at the White House to sign an executive order barring trans participation in women's sports.

The order uses Title IX, a law against s*x discrimination in taxpayer-funded education programs, to ban transgender girls and women from participating in female school sports activities.

Trump said his new Secretary of State Marco Rubio 'is going to make clear to the International Olympic Committee' that 'America categorically rejects transgender lunacy.'

'We want them to change everything having to do with the Olympics and having to do with this absolutely ridiculous subject,' Trump went on.

In response, the NCAA adapted new rules that will only allow people to compete in women's sports if they were assigned female at birth.

In a press release from the NCAA, the body's president, Charlie Baker, said there are more than 530,000 NCAA athletes. At a senate hearing in December of 2024, Baker said he was aware of 'less than 10' are transgender - meaning this policy goes to the lengths of banning 0.0018 percent of athletes.

'We strongly believe that clear, consistent, and uniform eligibility standards would best serve today's student-athletes instead of a patchwork of conflicting state laws and court decisions,' Baker said in the press release.

'To that end, President Trump's order provides a clear, national standard.'

This new NCAA policy goes into effect immediately and applies to all athletes regardless of previous eligibility reviews under the governing body's previous transgender participation policy.

!jidf alright it might actually be genuinely over for Gazans lmao
