Imagine being Hated by Someone You Don't Know: 2of2

What kind of lesson are we teaching when we respond to creative expression with such aggressive judgment? What message does it send when we prioritize our own preferences to the point of silencing others? He is basically saying "You deserve to be censored because you have an animated AGI profile photo instead of your real-life photo." That's just rude!

Let's remember that online interactions, like any other, should be grounded in respect. We can disagree, we can have concerns, but we should always strive to communicate without resorting to personal attacks. If we are aiming to create a world where our children are able to create, then we must create a world where all are respected.

Imagine being Hated by Someone You Don't Know: 1of2

I saw a man declare in the Fediverse that they were blocking anyone using Studio Ghibli-style profile pictures because their daughter is learning to draw.

As a creative who uses AI to enhance my branding, including a Ghibli-inspired avatar for my Coffee With Crissy podcast, I was immediately labeled as an enemy. My passion for Miyazaki's films, a love I've carried for decades, was met with hostility. And I don't know this man but he's decided to hate me.

The irony of someone expressing concern for their daughter's artistic development while simultaneously spewing hateful words online is not lost on me.
