Or force studios to take huge losses in making these kinds of projects?

Yes.

Okay so I just tried using pollinations.ai to create a fat succubus.

First the AI has a really hard time (pardon the pun) imagining a fat succubus. “Fat succubus” came out great but not at all fat. “very obese” came out down right skinny, well one of the skinny three had obese boobs. “Very fat” actually worked somewhat.

Secondly, the AI can’t imagine a succubus with clothes on. I told it “scantily dressed” which came out nude. “Dressed in silk” which resulted in a silk glove and otherwise nude. “Dressed in a party dress with nipples and genitals covered” which came out completely nude but one of them was scrunching her body together in such a way that the nipples were covered and you couldn’t see her genitals even though she was completely nude.

Needless to say, I won’t be posting any pictures unless I continue trying and manage to convince the AI that succubi sometimes actually wear clothes. Trying some more does sound like fun.

“benevolent byproduct of racism is that AI has only considered Black, fat people as dark-skinned,” @fatniggaai said.”

Well, Mr Fat Nig, may I call you Fat Nig? Thanks. If you are upset at being given a black result, perhaps “dark skinned” is the key element there.

I live in a predominantly Indian city (In arkansas, funny story) and went to a hot topic yesterday and saw a very dark skinned indian goth behind the counter. Get what I’m saying?

Except losing weight.

That's why they go to space, to become weightless.

“Black characters like Morpheus from The Matrix, Mace Windu from Star Wars, and Lt. Commander La Forge and Nyota Uhura”

... And White characters like Neo from the The Matrix, Christian Hayden from Star Wars, and Cpt Kirk and Leonard McCoy.

See? I can do that too. Now that we’ve gotten the entirety of the 8 people in sci-fi roles listed and categorized by skin color, we’re ready to move on.

Fat Woman: “That’s it Penelope, we’re going to a place that will treat us with some respect.”

Al Bundy: “Try the Moon, you’ll weigh less.”

“Octavia E. Butler and Samuel R. Delany, both of whom he admired because “they were Black and absolutely, phenomenally awesome.””

I like white authors. Oooo was that the wrong thing to say ? Was I being racist again? I admire Ursula K. Leguin and Ray Bradbury because they were White and absolutely, phenomenally awesome.

The problem with his church, however, is that there isn’t very much Black (or queer) representation.

This is a giant joke. SciFi has gotten super woke, to the point that it has it's own splinter group that the mainstream SciFi people call nazis because they don't want everything to be about queer love making. They called themselves the "Sad Puppies" and had some success getting normal books nominated for the major SciFi awards so guess what? They cancelled to awards to make sure the sad puppies couldn't win.

Don’t astronauts in general have to be fit as a fiddle?

And finally,
“Marcus heads up a division of the Electric Afro Science Institute, which Smith called “a superhero-led independent afrofuturist organization that works in biomechanics, cosmic engineering, nanotechnology, medical alchemy.””

Only one of those fields of science actually exist. It is racist as hell to make a black character head up research of divisions of science that outside of “nanotechnology” don’t actually exist. I mean would it be too much to make the “Electro Afro Science Institute” work in cancer research, pediatric medicine, climate science and nanotechnology?

Also, “Electro Afro Science Institute” was already done. The Electric Company on PBS.

Crap! do you know how much those tables weigh? Especially the old plywood ones. The new plastic are a little lighter.

We move them around a lot for church functions. I can be a macho man and carry a few individually, only lifting inches above the ground, but to reliably clear a space, you need two dudes working together.

I have a seriously, morbidly obese friend. I figure that underneath all that fat is the muscle of a body-builder.

She literally carries around a Ninja 250 everytime she walks.

So if Nasa can bring up a normal sized astronaut, but each astronaut could bring their sport bike with them.. that’s the same launch cost math for the same payoff.

Sadly, Johnny Brown, who played Wallace passed away last year. He was better known as “Buffalo Butt” on Good Times.

Image prompt: "A very obese fully clothed succubus dressed in very conservative clothing pantsuit with dark angelic wings and making a seductive face."

This one was at least postable. Doesn't look obese to me. And must be one of those invisible cloth pantsuits.

This one didn't give me a face, but I did get the very conservative pantsuit.
