    Obviously you’re right, but my pre generative AI thinking was “hey I wouldn’t mind if a stranger did it with my likeness so maybe it’s fine.” But I’m a white guy, and the reality is that it’s just another tool that dominant groups will use to exploit marginalised groups.

    The TNG crew were very forgiving of Barclay, and that probably affected my opinion on the matter.

        yeah but that’s not just doing the thing, that’s doing the thing and then bringing it outside and talking about it

        spoiler

        if someone out there is cranking it to me for some reason that’s their business and it’s none of mine unless they make it a problem for me like pointing and laughing with their friends about it.

        i don’t think the humiliation part is making much specific difference either, if someone fantasizes about worshipping me I don’t want to hear about that either and it would be shitty if they called me “your majesty” in person and insinuated it was a sex thing.

        in my mind the problem is the sexual harassment and the harassment doesn’t happen until it actually happens

        They really should have had restrictions on what holograms of co-workers or such can be programmed to do. If you need a bridge crew for some training exercise or whatever it makes sense but really any recreational purposes should just be a nope for holocopies or co-workers
