Dear Readers & Haters,
So, a comment on my last post suggests that I delete the blog if I'm so serious about retirement, especially with this new legal issue because apparently possibly going to prison isn't enough to deter me from posting new ones.
So, who else agrees with deletion?
Anybody against?
I was just gonna leave it up for posterity, but if the readers want it gone, then so be it.
Over 20 years of capped pics would be gone in an instant.
I just didn't see a point in deleting if I just stopped. I hate it when blogs I followed just wind up gone. That's me though. Is deletion the expected thing?
Sincerely,
Gensabi
My vote is to leave it up. it is already so hard to find good captions. If the blog remains up then maybe it might help to encourage more to captions later.
ReplyDeleteFor those not subject to USA laws perhaps? I know my audience is worldwide. Know a lot of cappers are from the UK too. I do try to take that into consideration.
DeleteLeave up
ReplyDeleteNo don't leave or take this away you are a great captioner I like it when you do new ones
ReplyDeleteI can't legally upload new ones now because of how that law was passed recently. I'm hoping what's already up is grandfathered in.
DeleteThe last post has the text of the law. It attacks reposting adult images whether real photos or A.I. generated, unless you have permission. TG capped pics aren't exactly something you get model permissions for.
This interferes with fair use doctrine and my 1st Amendment. rights, but if I ignore the law that might lead to prison if this law starts being used against TG captioners, and the way it's written it could be applied that way.
I would leave it up. The objective of these laws is fear. I know it's easy to say that and just comment, but I survived DOGE, so you'll survive this. They object is to take down LGBTQ+, but they want loud and proud for the base, so they will go after bigger fish like Blogger as a whole. At this point, as Pricess Leia would say, the more they tighten their grip, the more slips through their fingers.
ReplyDeletePlease do not take your blog down.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to delete it for your peace of mind or a similar reason, then do it. It's yours, so your feelings matter the most.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'd prefer it left up. But your interests in this regard are most important.
Would love for it to stay up. I like go back a reading old ones once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI expect that you stay up. But, obviously is your blog and your work, and if you need to delete its your choice.
ReplyDeleteI love to return sometimes to read your caps. I love it. But it's your choice.
The bill only prohibits deep fakes, revenge stuff, and violent depictions within the scope of “relations”. Any non-x rated image will be fine as long as it isn’t something behind a paywall or private account and is publicly available since there isn’t any expectation of privacy to an image online under those conditions. An example of those would be from your last caption post: PG/PG13 images from a publicly viewable account.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest helper is where they include the and/or bit. As long as it isn’t deepfake or violent AND is posted without permission, you’ll be fine.
That is helpful. The way the law is worded is so vague it scares me. That's based on the actual text of it not what they claim it's for. I have been reading up on it. I'm still skittish about uploading new ones. I have been making them still, but just keeping them to myself. Maybe I need to wait and see for a bit.
DeleteGensabi knew what the law said, Gensabi still played the victim and tried to use it as an excuse for not coming up with anything new. The law won't affect Gensabi in any way unless Gensabi uses AI or makes a pornographic caption involving an underage celebrity, Gensabi read it from the page itself yet Gensabi still tried to portray the victim.
DeleteDo not delete the blog. I have been a fan of yours for a decade.
ReplyDeleteKEEP IT!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Gensabi. I vote with the others who say that (a) ultimately it's your decision but (b) since you asked, I'd say to please keep it in place and available to be seen by those who want to do so. Thanks!
ReplyDeletefunny thing about your post: you left out all of the context for it including what the actual law was about.
ReplyDeleteit's an anti-AI law going after deep fakes, revenge porn, and people using both to hurt others.
Your blog isn't doing that, what you're doing is using it to gain attention on yourself. You intentionally misled people and preyed on their own fears all in yet another attempt at getting attention.
And the worst part is you're continuing to do it. Unless you are one of those people who are making that kind of porn and extorting others YOU ARE NOT AFFTECTED IN ANY WAY.
But I doubt you didn't already know that, you just love making posts to get attention on yourself.
Do you understand that unless the intent and scope is clearly detailed in the law that it leaves it open for interpretation by courts?
DeleteI did screenshot the law straight from Congress' website and put it in my last post to be read.
What would you call an erotic story of say a guy body swapping with a woman that rejected him? Could that not be classified as revenge porn?
Also it states reposting images whether they're real or fake A.I. generated. It's getting harder to tell which models are A.I. or not, and so on.
You're assuming this won't be used differently from what they state the reason is, but the law is written so vaguely in its text that it can be applied to TG captions.
Look at what's going on with the 14th Amendment and birthright citizenship. The original intent by its author was that no baby born here by a foreigner would be a citizen yet in 1890s a court ruled otherwise, and now they're trying to undo that saying it wasn't the intent of the Amendment.
Just because the people writing the law says it's only for one specific thing if it's written vaguely and not specifically for that thing, then lawyers and judges can argue the meanings and what applies under the law because of how it's written.
Like how you can be arrested for resisting arrest only but not arrested for something else. How can you resist being arrested if there's no underlying crime they were going to arrest you for?
I give up: you are just an attention whore who is begging for it by playing the victim. You can't come up with anything original so you started a flame war then cried foul. Then when that backfired you blamed your muse not being around and got people to tell you to not give up. Then when that wasn't good enough you did it again and got called for it. Now you're using a law that has nothing to do
DeleteYou never actually read the law, if you did you would have seen exactly what it stated especially as it's a huge free-speech issue that will backfire on them if they weren't specific in what it targets. You completely ignored that and tried to play politics yet again and got called on it.
You're just trying hard to be a victim but yo are nothing but a fraud who begs for attention. Delete the blog and STFU because it's people like you who drive away readers from other blogs!
Delete the thing so we can all finally stop seeing this incessant attention whoring
ReplyDeleteGensabi won't, Gensabi will continue to portray the victim regardless of how much Gensabi is shown to be a fraud just begging for attention.
DeleteIt's all Gensabi is able to do, Gensabi ran out of ideas two years ago if not longer. That's the real reason: Gensabi is jealous that others are going strong while Gensabi ran dry!
Keep it up ignore the haters. But if you feel its for the best for your health, and life the do so.
