Tumblr is currently serving me an ad for "Voda, the LGBTQ mental health app" offering "daily meditations, self-care and AI advice" and as a therapist I am begging you not to download an app where an AI tries to help you with your mental health. Please do not. They tried to have an AI chatbot counsel eating disorder patients and it told them to diet. That shit is not safe. Do not talk to an AI about your mental health please. You don't need to talk to a professional but talk to a PERSON. Edited to add: OK, it's been a long day and I wrote this when I only had the information that was in the ad. It looks like they may not actually have a chatbot, but something that just... churns out pre-programmed advice? That's genuinely a lot safer! But calling it "AI advice" feels a little misleading. This app may be perfectly fine and safe to use, but should probably stick to the fundamentals that people want from a mental health app and not try to use AI hype to market, since the intersection of AI and mental health support is VERY DICEY and bad shit has happened there before. And you should probably do further research on how they are using your data, since that is also an area where mental health support apps have gone bad before.
Wait guys so you know at the start of woh wkx is constantly flirting like 'nice sword' and more sword related euphemisms? And we see obviously zzs the men from the righteous sects etc mainly use swords? Our girl gu xiang uses a whip (often associated with female wuxia characters) and tragicomic ghost and beauty ghost don't seem to use weapons?
WKX USES NOT A SWORD BUT A FAN (which can be seen as 'feminine')
Come to think of it the traditional bad guys (ghosts and scorpion kings gang) don't use swords so much? I was going to say could wkx be a trans man but now I don't know where I'm going with this
Anyway this was probably incredibly obvious to everyone except me so
She’s afraid of being considered a monster, and acts chaotic and spunky but is actually extremely vulnerable.
When her fear takes over, she wants to destroy the monster.
She’s afraid of ever encountering a monster, and acts stoic and calm but is actually extremely vulnerable and unstable.
When her fear takes over, she wants to destroy the monster.
They’re actually more similar than we give them credit for.
can I express my joy at finding that more people here follow #ten miles of peach blossoms than they do #eternal love
