Prompt: āAnimated scene features a close-up of a short fluffy monster kneeling beside a melting red candle. the art style is 3d and realistic, with a focus on lighting and texture. the mood of the painting is one of wonder and curiosity, as the monster gazes at the flame with
Yo! This Deaf person just created a secret ASL font! š You can use for your personal project, type out some kind of secret code for yourself to print out, and even insult your friends with this font! It's authentically Deaf created. HAVE FUN WITH THIS!
@jdebbiel
We need to make a class action lawsuit against AI "art" and call for regulation. That's the idea, but I am like you-- I don't know what to do nor where to start. I don't even know lawyers that'd take on cases like this.
@awfulwizard
Thank you for sharing this deeply personal & moving comic. I can only imagine how difficult it must've been to put raw & vulnerable emotions in your work. I'm surprised to see cochlear implant included, and that hit me hard.
Please know that your story is seen & felt. Good work.
@protomolecute
@crazylittlebee1
Oh my god, thank you. This is heartbreaking to see reposts getting more engagements toward the person who didn't make this picture compared to the original tweet made by a small artist. :(
I hope more people hold other reposters this same level of accountability. </3 Thank you.

My recent comic got reposted. EVERYONE plz share directly from an artist's work instead of repost. Your repost doesn't give an artist direct traffic, engagement, or followers. Your repost hurts us. Please share directly preferably from their page or link their work. Don't repost.
i made animation of me abusing ai monster yesterday, i bought up idea and had to redesign him!
i donāt give a shit what people say. Iām stealing their ācharacterā design *evil laughs*
@Poodleslime
The amount of personal information I keep seeing from minor's carrd links and how they'd dogpile on dangerous predators like "MAPs" are concerning me for their safety-- I agree. I don't want anyone to experience what I went through with ED.
@SomaKazima
"How old are you" is actually mis-subtitled. He was signing, "I am learning sign language"
But the rest is correct. I figure people would want to know the correct stuff.
There is irony in people reacting so strongly, caring deeply for this soulless fictional monster character generated by computers, more than for real-life people.
Negative use cases:
- spreading fake news
- meddling in elections
- non-consensual corn
- faking evidence for court cases
- scamming gullible people
- creating low effort, soulless ācontentā for social media
- replacing jobs of artists
Positive use cases:
- ummā¦ none?
Yo, here's my contribution to

For those who want to know what happen-
@BackAndAlive
was removed for "promoting violence & purchasing military equipment but that's not true. This isn't okay.
1.) BackAndAlive is NGO, no right to buy lethal weapons.
2.) Link in their bio has this info:
this is the list of what
@BackAndAlive
are buying: monitors, computers, laptops, TVs, flashlights, repairing, radio, tablets, quadcopters, metal detectors, tickets, fuel, phones.. tell me if it's enough violence for you? we're defending ourselves. return the money that you took
HEY!!! Happy birthday to you!!!

All 8 of your characters are in this picture somewhere!!
I'm so proud of you for attempting to kickstart your animation project, Pen Pals Forever! I've been meaning to draw the trio so I figure this is a perfect time to doš«¶
Oh wow! I didn't expect this to go viral. Here are some fun facts about this font:
ā¢ Like any language, we have homonyms so I made sure to add subtle differences between F/9, O/0, V/2, and W/6
ā¢ $2.58 is using ASL slang. "258" shares the same handshape as "Very interesting"

Check Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development out, it sorta may explain the trend of such behavior.
I believe there's a lot of younger making a pretty large presence online and they have the influence over other people with this kind of behavior. Esp when mob mentality happens.

@AgentPaloma
YEAH! That too! They got some real good stuff. Even I saw ONE decent Deaf representation (Nicolas Brown from GANGSTA) when America got none of that in animated series. Even though it's not authentic, I still approve this.
And yet, I get shamed on for liking anime and manga...
Hey fellas, if you want to be part of the protest on ArtStation (or any other platform), here's the altered pictures for you to upload in just a case ArtStation ever does a blanket ban on a picture automatically.
I've seen enough to be prepared for things like this. Trust me.
@markinoslol
Yeah, the laughing candle is one of the many small ways that you really can customize the art in the way AI can't, to show the value of human artists.
Thank you!
@Kennichijou
EASY! I will buy Hermes and have her use her stand ability on my 8 remaining points so I get 16 points, and I shall buy Tooru to prevent being chased, Giorno for healing, Okuyasu for power, and Yasuho for tracking!
I AM SO SMART!!!!
@anxiety_fox
You come up with the best visual representation of the neurodivergent experience š It does be like that! From an outsider's perspective, it seems so silly but when I look at this comic, I understood the feeling of paralysis the little pupper is dealing
@ThePosieParker
It is very telling that you stole this pin idea right from a queer Black disabled artist (
@bibipins
) into something so hateful. It's like you don't care about respecting another woman at all, which nullified your "activism" for feminism
You lost all of your creditability here.
I SHIP THEM!! šš
I wanna think that if the bunny kisses the tv head, the bunny would get all POOFY FLUFFLY because of the electricity static! So I rolled my sleeves up and drew this because I wanted to make that happen.

Deaf people are not your dog to teach your entitled ass some ASL and we are not required to say "please" every time we request for accessibility. Fuck off.
@BolbiGlover
@SolarFlairYT
Okay. Hey, can you do me a favor please? Can you recreate that with the same quality then come back to me, and let me know how that went?
When I was a student at an art college, a professor assigned us to create illustrations on any social issue. I immediately knew what to do.
This is about deaf kids who get complimented more on spoken speech than any accomplishment they have. ASL is unfavored by many families.

Yo!! Do you know that you can land in prison for something so common and you could get framed so easily against your favor? You don't have to harm anyone to land in prison!
So, you better make sure you pay for all items at checkout, don't resist arrest even tho if a cop was
Omg... š„ŗš„ŗ I was waiting at the bus stop, I felt the gentlest tap on my shoulder, naturally as a Deaf person, I looked at the person, they're around my age or younger talking, complimenting my backpack. All I got was "josuke" & "cute" š„ŗ and they also had anime backpack!
@san_nhya
I know it's a strong drawing but it still gets the message out there. Besides, there's so many different posts out there that you or they can find that's better aligned with their comfort š¤·āāļø
Like is this really any worse than the negative consequences ai has on real life people?
Hey you! Have you ever wished for a less troublesome interaction while you're running an errand? Well! This is for you! :D

Hi
@VladimirStudio
Are you aware of this happening? I know you, a Creative Director of Adobe, once spoke up against AI "art" machine on LinkedIn and would like this to be addressed, please and thank you!
It was pointed out that I've ratio'd the post I QRT'd from. That's pretty cool, I didn't realize it! This shows that my message really got out there and it resonated with more people. š
@peefsmash
I looked at your replies and saw what has happened. I'm sorry, man, but this is your fault because you came in and refused to see it from their side. The way I see it, you came into their space with bad faith and spoke over them rather than trying to understand what's the problem
QUICK-- Let's form a group hug for
@PuccaNoodles

QRT with an updated drawing of your OC being part of this

. We need more wholesome context on our timeline.
(Note: Yes, I have the permission. Both
@britcastle
and I discussed a bit about this beforehand.)
@StrayDogNZ
Right, and my views + impressions do not match up. I noticed it counted the views from ourselves looking at our own posts, too. I figure people should know about this.
@awfulwizard
You made a right decision to include CI. It resonated deeply with me because I also have a CI, as did two of my exes. It made the comic feel even more personal and real to me as a reader. It's rare to see this very particular lived experience shown, and it meant a lot. Thank you.
One more last post to this thread before I take a break from Twitter for real. Here's another cool same message that is without gore, if my art isn't your cup of tea!
@Clitortoise
My bestie is an Aquarius and I got them a cute little rice lunchbox!!
Best present for them:
1.) What they collect
2.) Their special interest/obsession / hyperfixation
3.) What you think they need, and it fits in their aesthetic
4.) Anything personal
5.) When in doubt, money.
@jonathanvair
Whoa!! Yes, the tattoo artist should have checked in with you and at least compensated you for this. This is not a good look for the tattoo artist's business. How did you find out about this? š³
When you are too hype for
#stoneocean
that you drew Jolyne making other characters with her stand power.
I'm so proud of this drawing. It's nice really putting nearly 100% of my effort into a picture!! šš Please retweet this, it'll make me feel good.
