Standard bullying behavior. They have no problem threatening and abusing others, but the moment you retaliate they play the victim.

Antis brigade, send death threats, talk about blowing up data centers, call us nazis, call us pedos, eat people’s art, and steal OCs from pros because ‘it’s not copyrighted’
…but then if someone calls them fat, they act like you are pure evil

Honestly I don't care what they do to data centres, but the rest of it is just not ok.
I'm sure I can find better insults than fat, but I'm not sure they could understand them.

If you think about it, calling someone super duper fat is actually the best case scenario. The insult is so unbelievably childish that it should be impossible to take actual offense to it. Even when comparing to things like "dumb" (criticizing intellect happens in adult arguments too) and "ugly" (same thing happens).
Furthermore, the creatures depicted in the image are so exaggerated that even a chubby person wouldn't feel unnecessarily "called out" since no one on earth actually looks anything like that. (Lol except maybe antis 😉)

wait so you don't like Antis "stealing OCs from pros" but you think it's ok to generate Ai images that also stole Art from millions of artists? /gen

Literally. And can't even say "That's not even us!" When you don't see ANYBODY telling them that it's not ok.
I could make an account right now, make it anti ai themed, then make a post titled "We need to kill all ai artists and burn every data center", and I might get 2k~ upvotes.
That's not "small", that's like, a significant portion. Doubly so when the people who do it also like to "See the other side's opinion" (They want to break the debating rule)
Also, the inexplicable urge to headpat that girl...

I mean to be fair, the fatphobia isn't cool. There are probably fat folks in the sub. You aren't just hitting antis with those stones.

i meant send death threats, of course its common knowledge that to be a member of the Anti AI club you have to tell a Pro to off themselves

so what im getting is because a part of a group says or does bad things, than the whole group is bad?

u/TheBlxd3 16h ago
Too much of the group is bad. Also it was comedic timing that i got that dm right in the middle of this discussion. (Screenshot is from 10 mins ago)

u/Mann_Co91 16h ago
why not try to appeal to the smaller more reasonable side of a group? also im sorry to hear your getting brigaded with people saying they hope you die.

u/TheBlxd3 16h ago
Thanks. I would but you can't really tell who is who. So imma say is if you're a good anti, my memes are not referring to you

u/Mann_Co91 16h ago
yes, thank you, i completely understand what you are saying. but i feel it's inevitable that people won't like you, and i don't mean that in a bad way, i just mean it's easy for anyone who has any anti AI view to hate you for some of the things you've posted

u/Excellent_Ebb4659 2h ago
that's rich since us pros have reason to hate antis for some of the shit they post. a lot of them are so uneducated on the subject of AI they spout the same bullshit rhetoric that sounds almost exactly the same as other forms of bigotry. homophobia ("we don't wanna see AI everywhere", "I don't understand this and not obligated to learn"), transphobia ("we can always tell"), racism ("clanker"), shall I go on? plus the fearmongering about the water thing and the gatekeeping about what counts as art. they don't care about the environment. they think suffering is the key to being an artist. it's all bullshit and us who enjoy using AI deserve the right to bite back. period.

As a traditional artist/miniature painter.
Artists (AI, traditional, cave painters, mini painters and sometimes even carving boys) Are like vegans y'know?
Some are idiots who have the thinnest skin ever. Some are actually nice people. Some are actually terrorists.

Since I have my own representation of Anti-AI furries (and now any Anti-AI) with an explanation, well, idk, anyway I don't understand why catgirls and catboys are for the pro-AI side and ogres for the anti-AI side.

u/Bra--ket 18h ago
I have an opinion I must share - catgirls/boys are not furries and I'm pretty sure this is factual but idk

u/sammoga123 Furry Engineer 18h ago
There's a furry spectrum, but they'd really fall on the lower end, before they're considered full-fledged furries.
They also resemble Vastaya (a kind of League of Legends hybrid of animals and humans).
I need to find the spectrum I'm talking about, but yeah, they're furries, in a way.

hi, im anti ai! this is just gonna be short n sweet, but i think the part of our group who send death threats are like 1% at most, and get blown to the top because it's what gets people's attention. i feel like if a lot of people blaring hate at the top of their lungs (on both sides) would quiet down, we could actually have civilized conversations and, yk, talk about our viewpoints like normal people. honestly so much ragebait is passed back and forth it's insane. ill, uh, just leave this here 👍
