I’ve never been a big fan of crowdfunding.
I’ve backed things that stood out but I’m not looking for shit to back. I’d rather mfers realize that there are other ways to go about it as well. People are stuck on crowdfunding for some reason.
Question for backers of indie comics:
What is the main reason you have stopped / reduced backing indie comics?

the type of shit that happens when you invite your friends over to watch the UFC card
The more I think about it, the more I feel like ending my collection with the teddy bear story is the right move. It’s got a poignant ending about closure. I think that helps make it a good closing story.

I’m just sick of seeing motherfuckers wagging their goddamn finger about AI.
I get it, bitch. You don’t like AI. So the fuck what? Shut the fuck up about it. The derangement is real.
I wrote my teddy bear story. It turned into a 16-page short.
I wonder if I should include it in the shorts collection I’m working on. Might be weird surrounded by five-pagers. 🤔
Maybe it can be the last story.

Fun fact: the vocalist of this band was the visual inspiration for Evil Ernie.

Do you ever get over the general retardation you see on this app? Does it ever not bother you?
Did you have to become an algorithm whisperer to feel somewhat comfortable with viewing this shit?

It's astounding that you don't see the problem with using AI tools like Pangram to detect AI writing, and then relying on the claims of an AI-based AI writing detector to ruin the life and reputation of an up-and-coming author because "how dare they use AI".
You believe anything made by AI is slop, yet you also believe these AI detection tools, which are AI-based, are somehow infallible enough to be irrefutable, smoking-gun proof that an author used AI to write a book, and then you ruin them based on an AI's say-so.
"B-b-but Pangram is 99.98% accurate!"
Who said that? The people who made it? Their fucking marketing department?
LLMs are trained on human-written text. They will only get better and better at replicating human writing, and they already know about the tells these AI-based AI-writing detectors look for and can account for them. If it's not already impossible to detect AI writing, then it will be soon.
All it's going to take is one high-profile defamation lawsuit from an author who extensively documented their process getting falsely accused of using AI and losing a publishing deal over it, then this whole guilty-until-proven-innocent paradigm will come crashing down, and then we will all be looking back and saying, "Hey, remember when stupid people were relying on AI to accuse each other of using AI and then ruining people's reputations before they even got off the ground? That was fucking stupid."
You want to support artists? Making them afraid of false accusations and putting the burden on them to prove their innocence isn't helping.
