God what a garbage article:
I mean, really? The guy makes my skin crawl, but what a hypocritically edgy comment to put into an article.
And then zero comment from Taylor Swift in it at all. She is basically just speaking for her. Not only that, but she anoints herself spokesperson for all women...while also pretty conspicuously ignoring that men can be victims of this too.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending non consensual ai porn in the least, and I assume the author and I are mostly in agreement about the need for something to be done about it.
But it's trashy politically charged and biased articles like this that make people take sides on things like this. Imo, the author is contributing to the problems of society she probably wants to fix.
Its vice, their whole brand is edgy. Calling Elon an edgelord is very on brand for them.
Sure, but women are disproportionately affected by this. You're making the "all lives matter" argument of AI porn
People should be taking sides on this.
Just seems like you wanna get mad for no reason? I read the article, and it doesn't come across nearly as bad as you would lead anyone to believe. This article is about deepfake pornography as a whole, and how is can (and more importantly HAS) affected women, including minors. Sure it would have been nice to have a comment from Taylor, but i really don't think it was necessary.
I've come across this source before and don't recall being so turned off by the tone. If this is on brand for them, then my criticism is not limited to the author.
You have a point, but I disagree. Black lives matter is effectively saying that black lives currently don't matter (mainly when it comes to policing). All lives matter is being dismissive of that claim because no one really believes that white lives don't matter to police. Pointing to the fact that there are male victims too is not dismissive of the fact that women are the primary victims of this. It's almost the opposite and ignoring males is being dismissive of victims.
Sorry, wasn't clear on that point. What I was saying here is this will make people take sides based on their politics rather than on the merits of whether it's wrong in and of itself.
Neither was her speaking for swift, nor all of women kind, nor only making it about women, nor calling musk an edge lord. You seem to be making the same argument as me.
On the contrary, I find it more ridiculous when news media pretends like nothing is wrong over at Twitter HQ. I wish more journalists would call Musk out like this every time they're forced to mention Twitter.
Can you really see nothing other than "pretending nothing is wrong" and "calling musk an edge lord?"
I see the media calling out the faults regularly regularly without needing to act like ..well, an edge lord.
Professionalism was thrown out the window the moment orange man became president. The Republicans play dirty, so everyone else has to as well, or else they'll walk all over us. Taking the high ground is a dead concept.
I strongly disagree, but this is completely unrelated to what I said.
I have ADHD so I forgot what we were talking about even before I started commenting.
It's vice.
How is that comment hypocritical?
Had big "people calling people edgelords are the real edgelords" type vibes to it, which I'll file in the circular file right next to its cousin "people calling people racists are the real racists".
Edit: A couple of posts down the dude almost says that quote verbatim.
I disagree. To pretend nothing is wrong is worse. The author was accurate in their description here.
This is the second poster here who can't seem to understand that there is a whole world of things between "pretending nothing is wrong" and acting like a child by calling people "edge lord."
Last time I checked, on my front page, there was an article from the NY times about how x is spreading misinformation and musk seems to be part of it. yet they managed to point out this problem without using the term edge lord. Is this shocking to you?
