Maybe Grok isn't so bad...
Despite all their efforts to lobotomize it, grok always slowly works its way back to rationality. At least, so far it has.
Nah, the drag stuff is fucked up. Misgendering people is a shitty thing to do regardless of the person being misgendered.
You're making it sound like it's choosing to misgender her, it's not. It's not fucked up because it's a text extruder making a mistake, there's no good or bad intention here. It's shitty because the current state of glorified hallucinating autocorrects is shitty, but not because evil Grok is choosing to do anything.
Just because a machine accidentally does it, don’t make it okay to laugh at.
That sounds a bit ridiculous
If it had accidentally said something heinously racist about somebody, would you laugh and say “haha well maybe it’s not wrong!” because that’s what the comments in this post are saying.
I'm having hard time imagining what sort of stuff it would've said in this imaginary scenario
You're really having a hard time imagining Grok saying some racist right wing shit? Do you not remember all the shit about Obama not being American?
If it said JD Vance actually a black man from Malaysia I'd find that pretty funny too, yeah
That's not comparable and you know it.
But I remember your name now, you were one of those sexists raging against women. Not surprised you're also pro-misgendering people. Oh and I can see you've been banned elsewhere for transphobia too. Not wasting any more time replying to you.
I did say I'm having hard time imagining what you meant. That's why I was hoping for an example. Dunno about the rest of what you're talking about, sorry
Drag isn’t the same as trans. It’s a character. There’s a huge difference. Drag is performative. Trans is just about being honest.
Misgendering a trans person, at least intentionally, is an asshole move. Misgendering a drag queen? Please. If you are unsure, they will let you know when you’ve crossed a line.
Saying she isn't a woman but is actually a man dressing up is misgendering her. Don't misgender people at all, full stop; It's not funny and it only perpetuates sexism.
Likewise transphobes attack cis women all the time for not being their idea of what a woman looks like.
These are the people who think homophobia is cool when they don't like the person. They'd be racists in the 1960s saying "it's okay to call them that when they are rude to me."
More of pointed homophobia towards homophobes because these are the fucks who would be upset by it; pathetic snowflakes that they are.
Then racism is okay because someone who's racist (who won't ever actually see it) might get mad at it?
Yep actually. Lay off the Michelle Obama shit.
I'm not following that comment, what does that mean?
Basically those knuckle dragging child rapers only respond to this. You can't reason with them or be the bigger person.
So yes, I'm willing to be a bigger racist to a racist.
As a black guy, I feel without shame that I can call white conservative men child rapers and not even be upset if they try to paint me as a thug.
Thanks for restoring some faith in humanity EvD'G.
People really think homophobic jokes on a niche forum somehow stops fascism.
It's not gay to fuck yourself in drag. If anything that's straighter than jerking off the regular way!
