"Transferring ownership" of a collection of information which costs no money or labor to infinitely reproduce is the opposite of a good use case, it's inherently worthless

Kill your native flora. Replace it with native fauna.

Plant those bees

But do they have to submit a request if they tell the audience “fuck it, this is now a sub about X, we’ll remove everything that’s not about X”?

No that just isn't allowed. I'm not joking, the admins have removed entire mod teams and installed new ones because the mod teams decided to change the topic of the sub.

I don’t have an issue with someone using AI and calling themselves an artist, as long as they’ve generated the AI model based on their own previous art.

That's, uh, not what happened here. And I've never heard of anyone doing that. Anyone with the skill to draw the kinds of pictures they want would simply draw the kinds of pictures they want instead of putting in tons of effort to get an AI to do it worse

Prompting an AI is not making art

While there are a couple of novels, I have not read them. I asked one of the guys responsible for the core worldbuilding about them once, and he said he couldn't get past the galley proofs so... not a high recommendation lmao

I learned from the source. The in-game texts. 99% of the lore you can find in the wikis is whatever random person's subjective interpretation of those in-game texts. It's better to read through them directly and come to your own conclusions.

No I'm just a nerd who reads a lot

I actually can't stand fudgemuppet, dude takes 40 mins to say what could (and should) be said in 5

They’re literally all-powerful gods that reign over their own worlds

Kind of but not really. Their "worlds" are just their true bodies. They are all-powerful in the sense that you are all-powerful compared to the bacteria living in your gut, which is to say that they're not really. They have entirely finite power even within and over their own domains.

See: the Champion of Cyrodiil (in addition to teams of entirely normal people) invading Dagon's Oblivion gates and shutting them down. An all-powerful god would simply vaporize you the moment you tried to oppose him in his domain. Or forcibly convert you into a warrior of his armies. Or instantly transform all your bones into breadsticks and laugh as you cronched into a pile on the floor--but don't worry, he decided not to give you permission to die. Enjoy being a breadcrumb puddle.

that are quite possibly the same size as, if not bigger than Nirn.

Kind of a misunderstanding of the cosmology. Nirn is a finite round planet floating in (something equivalent to) space. The planes of Oblivion are infinite planes forced into the rough appearance of round planets by mortals whose minds can't comprehend infinity. They're not comparable to Nirn because they aren't even a similar type of cosmic structure, they only appear similar through the very limited eyes of mortals.

I don’t think we can apply our conventions of sex and biology to them lol.

This is definitely true though. I'm personally in the school of thought that Daedric Princes aren't really people the way that, for example, the Tribunal's components are, or for a real world example the way the Greek gods are. The Daedric Princes are concepts personified, or maybe even concepts forced into an anthropomorphic shape by uncomprehending mortal eyes, the same way the Planes of Oblivion will appear like finite round planets from afar.

Mehrunes Dagon isn't, I would argue, a guy who likes to destroy things. Mehrunes Dagon is destruction. He's not a bad guy because he's not a guy at all. Mehrunes Dagon enacts destruction and change the same way a hurricane does--not purposefully, not with malice, not even consciously in the same way a human can. Mehrunes Dagon simply, the same way you or I breathe, destroys.

That isn't to say that they are all the concept of their spheres. Hypothetically destroying Mehrunes Dagon wouldn't remove the concept of destruction from the universe. But Mehrunes Dagon is the being representing--made of, perhaps--that concept as it exists in the foundation of the universe.

The universe which I might add is a song, dreamt by the unimaginable and inconceivable higher-dimensional godhead. But that's a topic for nerds nerdier than I.

I literally already explained that in the comment you're replying to. The sea lion should have done something bad to deserve being criticized.

That just doesn't work, because the sea lion's behavior in the comic is entirely reasonable, and it is the other characters who are being unreasonable. If the point of the comic is that the sea lion's behavior is bad, they should have actually made the sea lion do something bad instead of call out someone being racist against him

not a racist conversation, because sea lions are not sentient beings despite what is about to happen

sea lions literally are sentient beings in the context of the comic. the only justification the comic gives for why sea lions are bad requires them being sentient beings so that they can speak up against random racist tirades about them.

are you literate

It’s just obviously not about all the stuff that you seem to think it’s about.

But it literally is? You're the one coming up with weird interpretations about "what if it was actually about xyz"

What is actually happening in the comic is that a character is being racist and the victim of that racism is portrayed as being wrong and annoying for calling out the racism. That's literally what's happening in the comic. It doesn't require any kind of gymnastics or interpretation, that's the surface level reading of what is occurring in the comic.

Racism justifies harassment and home invasion?

Yeah. Not gonna cry over what the victims of racism do to racists.

and more about the harassment veiled in false civility as a means of silencing discussion.

How is the sea lion silencing discussion? They weren't discussing anything, they were having a racist circlejerk. The racist lady said a racist thing and the sea lion invited discussion by asking, "Why did you say that racist thing?" and then they refused to actually explain why they're racist against sea lions, treating it as self-evident that being racist against sea lions is correct and thus that it is unreasonable to question it.

Pretend he’s not a sea lion, but a conservative

He can't choose not to be a sea lion. This is kind of incoherent. "Pretend he's not black, but a conservative." This sea lion could also be conservative, that doesn't really have anything to do with the fact that he's being criticized for immutable properties he was born with, not for anything of substance.
