It somehow feels more doable now since avatars on other sites are becoming more common, I mostly think of Facebook/Meta and Snapchat. But also generated images that have been trending, "me as action-figure", "me in ghibli style" etc. and even filters that people use consistently.
I think people are getting more used to seeing different types of avatars.
I didn't really think about it until Nano Banana Pro became a thing, before I knew it was possible but it would be so obvious AI. But now? It's not obvious now. I even consider creating a digital avatar that I use instead of my own face.
As a nonbinary person who still feels a bit unsure, THANK YOU for this long, well written answer.
I'd give you gold points but idk if that's a thing on lemmy.
I'm AFAB but I very often wish I could be included in the mens group, you know? I don't really feel a desire to be part of a womens group tho. In many aspects I don't really relate to many of those expectations like dressing up, makeup etc.
Oh, I'm sorry about that. I truly have no clue why that is, I don't think it has to do with the community tho. Is it the same with other communities on this instance as well?
I also think its about the magnitude. It's a huge difference between reading "they died" and a long detailed description of how. Or a photo or even video.
The first I'd say don't need a warning, but the rest might depending on how realistic it is.
I appreaciate warnings overall as I struggle with anxiety so I can still use the internet even on bad days
Yes exactly!
