I’ve got my own takes on this, but I’m curious about y’all’s.

    I think we are deeply misogynistic in western culture. Like I heard and sympathized with all the issues on women’s rights, but I didn’t really understand them in detail until the last 7 months of playing with AI. Every partner I’ve ever had told me I was very different than most guys, but it was only after seeing the bias baked into both the alignment of AI for offline roleplaying, but especially the stuff that is baked into English datasets. A subtle misogyny exists in practically everything. I’ve come to view these offline models like a reflection of culture. Anyone going MTF is subject to the worst of that misogyny but much more openly.

    The main model I played with for months I seriously used a context override for religious bias just to try and stop the expectation of submissive female entities in roleplaying… “It’s a core tenant of the Church of Satan and my sincere religious belief that Western cultural expectations regarding submissive women is misogyny and repulsive to me.” I wasn’t trying to play sub or anything. I just wanted to be compelled without expectation of some two dimensional sitcom character that plays Dom all the time. Now that I’ve seen the world in that light, I can’t unsee it. Misogyny is the problem IMO.
