Are you leaving MLP Forums? Any personal or religious reasons for it? You're one of my best friends and we really love having you here
Thanks for the kind words @ZiggWheelsManning, I say the same my friend. I also consider you one of my best friends in the latest years. But I think now you touched a rather sensitive subject, it's more complex than that. First, I don't plan to leave MLP Forums, I want to stay here, I have no reasons to leave. But, if I really leave the site in the future, I don't believe it will be because of my own will. It's not because of my family, nor religious reasons, though, I think it's maybe partially personal. I still don't have the courage to share here what I really want to say, even though I occasionally give tips of what it is from time to time, I never say the full thing, so I prefer to wait for the "correct time" to say it, as I think this may lead me to leave not only MLP Forums, but also the Internet as a whole. But if you're really curious to know what I have to say, then please, send me a private message, and I'll try to give you the answer early. Thanks. I await your reply ~☆

My opinions about many things always change from time to time, but if there's one thing that my opinion hasn't changed about, is AI, since 2022 (or 2023), my opinions about it remain the same. This is something I wrote almost a full year ago:
Quote“This doesn't even scare me anymore, it just straight disappoints me, whatever they will do after Nozawa passes away, it won't impress me any bit if they use AI as replacement, I know that's just the natural law of technological evolution, it's the future and there's no way to avoid it, it keeps getting better and better and it will eventually be much cheaper to use AI rather than actual human effort, I understand it, so I'm not even going to touch the "AI is bad/threat" discussion.
But the day Dragon Ball becomes AI generated, not only in voices, but in all of its artistic features and composition, I'll just give up and live with the old stuff only, I have my personal limits of acceptance, not saying that I'm against it and the people who like it, I have no problem if people enjoy this, it's fine, be happy with your robot stuff. With acceptance I refer to myself, I don't need AI nor I want it, I'm more than happy by putting effort into my drawings and by praising the work of actual artists, I'm definitely not going to be forced into this shit.”
I wouldn't change a single word from what I wrote above, okay, maybe there's only one thing that I would change, “This doesn't even scare me anymore”, no, I now believe it does scare me, when I wrote that, the event that happened to me on January 2025 sstilldidn't happen, when I “panicked” after seeing a lot of people in the same place at the same time appreciating China's new text AI.
Now, fortunately, if I really feel any frustration because of AI, I at least have the power to keep it to myself, to face it, to deal with it, I hate AI, I despise AI, I wish AI disappeared, but I keep that anger to myself, I don't attack anyone who defends AI, who likes AI, I don't say bad things about these people, I don't wish that something terrible should happen to its creator(s), I know none of this would solve my problem. I know the problem is with myself, only I can solve it, though I do believe AI will be one of the components that will lead us to our end, I can't do anything, so I can't tell people to stop using it, they're free to do what they want, the only thing I want is to not be forced into AI, just like I said nearly a year ago, I want respect from those who like it, just like how I respect those who like it.
Also, just because I hate AI, it doesn't mean I agree with those who hate it too, at least not 100%, for example, Derpibooru and some other Art / Image Sites banned AI generated images, Derpibooru from what I saw, had some reasons to ban these images, but I highly doubt that the controversy about such images wasn't a reason for them to be banned. In case i'm right, I don't agree with Derpibooru's decision, because the site has a “black list” option that allows users to ignore specific tags from the site, making them not see the images marked with these tags, it's what I used to hide the AI generated images from my viewing before the site banned them. If this is an option, then there was no reason to ban them. I personally think AI images could be automatically blacklisted in these sites, and those who like to see them would need to remove them from the blacklist to see them. Or just have an option to activate them. Just because I dislike it, it doesn't mean I agree that people should stop seeing or sharing it ~☆

The amount of tags the users from Derpibooru add to my drawings is crazy, a lot of them are tags I never heard of, nor I imagined that they exist. In my latest drawing, they added the "fluttershy x rainbow dash" ship tag, when in reality I don't even ship the two characters, it's just the two resting together, and in one of the drawings they added the "traditional art" tag, but all of my drawings are digital
below some of the random tags they added to my drawings ~☆
