Oops I did it again (if you know, you know)

Saw a message on BlueSky that resonated with me just now, about how autistic characters should be allowed to be villains.

And it made me realise. Someone’s gender, race, disability, gender identity etc shouldn’t be a factor as to if they’re a hero or villain in a story.

The issue with many forms of media is that it seems to go to two extremes:

2. No member of a group can be evil because it could be offensive

Another warning about these AI devices. I'm probably more pro-AI than many who will read this, but if you're going to use AI it should be as open as possible and local. People spent hundreds of dollars on these devices, and as of March they won't even be good as a paperweight. There's a possibility someone can hack these and extend their life somehow, but I wouldn't hold out hope.
