to be (gay) or not to be: a commentary in defense of the liberating implications of bromance and a rant about consumer capitalism which shapes how bromance is crafted, marketed, and interpreted

"The enshittification of ChatGPT"
Brother... ChatGPT IS the enshittification.
The enshittification of ChatGPT continues. Now, regardless of what mode you manually select, you get “instant” ~80% of the time.
Slowly but surely herding the cattle to run exclusively on the codex meter—just gradually enough not to spark a stampede.
The good news is you can still sometimes get an actual “Sol” longer running response, but I imagine that will be weaned out soon. Enjoy the remainder of unmetered usage while we still have it.
also a big fan of long paragraphs clearly not designed for efficient mobile reading (although it's truly just skill issue)
i haven't really written anything that wasn't a book review lately so writing that bromance piece has challenged how far i can go in the attempt to articulate the many swirling thoughts in my head. even right now, i still have many thoughts i wish i expounded further
big fan of writing and reading long sentences in this gen ai era where
chatgpt outputs appear like this.
punchy.
neat.
one more adjective.
brimming with emphasis.
like the way [insert a flowery metaphor here] [another metaphor] [wouldn't hurt to add one more closing metaphor]

In Fahrenheit 451, the chief book-burner, Captain Beatty, describes how reading became obsolete because the public demanded increasingly fast-paced entertainments, and those entertainments slowly corroded their ability to think. “Books cut shorter. Condensations. Digests, tabloids. Everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending. Classics cut to fit fifteen-minute radio shows, then cut again to fill a two-minute book column … Many were those whose sole knowledge of Hamlet was a one-page digest in a book that claimed, ‘Now at last you can read all the classics.’ … School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches?”
In this passage Ray Bradbury foretells the intellectual hollowing out of the working class, the advent of AI-generated “summaries” of classic novels, the attention-frying culture of short-form video, the relaxation of educational standards into non-existence. All of this in a book published in 1953.
and isn't that so revelatory of the amatonormative thinking that pervades our social fabric, even in queer communities that call for the collapse of cis-hetero supremacy. it's ok to not find something personally enjoyable, but looking down on identities and relationships that do
not subscribe to the idea of romance being the point of existence in this world is a different story altogether. why do we regard close friendships and queerplatonic relationships as inferior to relationships that include kisses and sex, huh? how are we okay with having such a

Most of y’all must think that queerness is just about who you date… it’s always date date date with you people

aroace hate is so funny to me it is quite literally getting mad at someone for doing nothing 😭
it's too long to be screenshotted & posted as pics... also i lost an hour of my life looking for this exact website but boy did it feel good when i finally found it... tfw you cannot remember smth but you're sure you will recognize it once you see it. story of my life last night
or, alternatively: me when i weaponize my aroace identity to defend the comforting obscurity prevalent in the bromance genre
or, alternative to the alternative: me when i paraphrase the same idea ten times throughout the essay and end up with 4,751 words

People will shun aroace terms like queerplatonic relationship saying "that's just a normal relationship/friendship, you just want to be special" and then get mad if you do call it that and don't follow the rules of what a relationship/friendship is supposed to look like
me when i write something on the draft followed by my own comment saying i cannot include it in the final post but then forgetting to actually delete that part... let me sit with this hilarious mistake and come back with the final_final_final_final_revised.docx tomorrow
a certain group of people will not survive the summer hikaru died and the queerplatonic relationship between the main characters, i'll say that much
like, hikaru is aroace. the author could not be CLEARER about that fact. he also loves yoshiki in a very deep and intense way, and yoshiki feels the same but also emphasizes he isn't sure whether it's romantic. they love each other & they are Together but it's not at all romantic
