yes but it requires an AI-generated image

Possibility? I thought we knew this was happening for real?

can’t even have a public wank in peace anymore what is the world coming to

“I’m not doing the bidding of Section 34, Sloan.”

“Doctor, you will wear the femboy catsuit. It’s not a question of if, but when. You may scoff now with your moral quandaries. But I too I toss and turn at night, unable to sleep with the cat-tail plug, and let me tell you - it’s an infinitesimally small ask to keep the Federation safe.”

“I don’t know, I was too busy thinking about you”

(Pre-amble, I don’t think the meme should be taken seriously and I do find it funny)

Horror is my favourite genre because it genuinely seeks to express the most primal and furious of all emotions: fear. From the goriest, straight-forward splatter fest to the subtlest discomforts of tense artsy horror films, the popular and cult favourite movies offer a fantastic reflection of that generation/culture’s deepest vulnerabilities.

Slashers like Friday the 13th were about the internalized self-criticism of modern, white Judea-Christian values (pre-marital sex, drugs, etc) and Nightmare on Elm Street was about parents, society, the government, etc, being unable and unwilling to help with the problems they created, problems that turn lethal. Suicide due to depression from repression, OD’ing from drugs because you need a way out, getting killed because you got mixed up with the “wrong” crowd at the wrong time, these were all things that happened to people because the “system” pushed you into a corner, and vilified any means you sought to escape.

Even “torture porn” like Saw was about feeling trapped and what extremes you’d take to “free” yourself. Terrifier, too, can offer a reflection of extreme violence offering some form of release.

Backrooms and Obsession are so relevant because they too talk about our fears of being trapped in the endlessly mundane, or attachments that we cling to beyond the safety of ourselves and others.

This is a really general rant so I’ve glossed over and even ignored so many nuances. Not to mention that I’m really not eloquent enough to really hit every nail on the head… and each person will pull their own unique experiences from horror.

I genuinely love it when people find something they can connect with in horror, regardless of what generation or subgenre they find.

I won’t get it but tell me like I would. Make me feel young again

Your tone indicates anger, but your subject matter indicates something fun

So, I used reverse image search to look it up - OP is not at fault for cutting off the image. The OC was made like that, and posted to Reddit, as far as I can tell

Their feelings matter it’s just that nothing’s gonna really be done about it

Couldn’t you just set up actual AI/LLM verification questions, like “how many r’s in strawberry?”

Or even just have an AI / Manual contribution divide. Wouldn’t stop everything 100% but might help the clean-up process better
