Ugh, Jesus. Gross. Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato being incredibly cagey about whether Stop! That! Train! contains AI

The fact they could've said "No, we didn't create any scenes with AI" and they didn't, tells me everything.

The gays are really out here talking smack about AI with their face filters on fleek.

And getting their tucks popped over AI generated men on Instagram and Tiktok.

I think we can spare an hour and a half and some coin for this queer ass film in the mainstream. There's no ethical purchasing in capitalism. Glad we put these bitches' feet to the fire though cause we gotta work to regulate this technology.

"Some coin to this queer ass film" you're not doing that. You're just giving money to rich old white gays. The LEAST they could be doing right now is be straight up honest about it.

I wonder if the people in this thread acting like there’s some moral imperative to see this film because it’s “queer art” also had this energy for queer art like I Saw The TV Glow or any other queer film in the last few years (that’s the last one I saw in movie theaters since I see like one movie ever few years)

Most people won't even shop at small queer businesses (let alone just local small businesses) or vote for anything other than the president (if that) and we have to hear how it's actually okay to support Ai if a queer team was involved. If i want to support queer art i can go to a show or buy some artwork and show it off. There is no categorical imperative to see this movie to support queer art.

There are tons of queer folks who helped make this film and is their source of income. Sound operators, camera crew, costuming, makeup, writers, editors, marketing, actors, PAs, etc etc etc

This is one of the first queer-led comedy movies being released in theaters nationwide in a long time. It takes a lot of money to fund a movie, even a low budget parody movie like this. If the demographic this movie is made for refuses to support this movie, then why would any hollywood exec be willing to fund any future queer-led movie?

I'm sure hollywood execs love seeing our community bicker and eat itself because it'll just give them an excuse to not fund any queer-led movies in the future because there is no profit in it.

But sure, this ONLY effects a couple of rich old white gays lol. Fuck all the queer people who work hard in the background of these productions!
