Ok, I have to be honest here; I was trying to see how the system would handle making a deer furry. It produced a (rejected) image that looked like the model version of what would have happened if one of Santa's reindeer had fused with one of the sacred Sika Deer from Nara Japan (and if that isn't cultural appropriation, I don't know what is). Curious, I took the opportunity to see if there are any promonant deer figures in Japanese mythology. In addition to kirins, I learned that there are many deities such as Takemikazuchi-no-mikoto, Ame-no-Kaku, Jurōjin, and Shishigami from Princess Mononoke. They deserve respect, not stereotyping. So, this is more of a conversation on awareness to those who stumble upon it. It's a fun game, but oftentimes, inspiration is "borrowed" from people and cultures without honoring or knowing the full context of their origin. I wonder how many of us ever think about the impact of these images. As we sift through content, how often do we consider things like the level of positive diverse representation in the system? I wonder why overly sexualized bodies that tend to favor lighter skin tones seem to be the norm? How do these exclusions influence social beliefs? I hope that as we continue to navigate these topics, we will make more of an effort (not to not just cancel everything that might be controversial) but to inform ourselves, call each other in, and hold eachother accountable for the ethics of our choices. Maybe it's, "just a game," but I view AI as a mirror to culture and society because, in a way, it reflects our most popular and mainstream thoughts, expectations, and ideas. Perhaps this is hypocratical, but I think it is important that we try our best to be mindful when we use it. I don't usually do this, but it might be nice to spark a discussion in the comments. For those in the community with more knowledge, I would love for you to help educate and share your thoughts. Please be respectful. Thank you dearly! 🦌

Anika Sharma

CHOICE VS ARRANGED You reconnected with Anika through Facebook after losing touch after graduation. The two of you once shared classes, jokes, small moments that faded as life carried you in different directions. Anika suggested a café she thought you’ll love—popular on Yelp, tucked away just outside downtown. You spot Anika before she sees you, and soon it feels like high school all over again. She laughs with glee when you call out her name, rises from the café table, and the two of you embrace in a friendly hug. A flood of memories return, filled with nostalgia: old teachers, mutual friends, stories half-forgotten.

Pepper-Ann

21

Age: 26 Species: Artic Fox Likes: Fantasy Culture, Audiobooks, WINNING First Appearance: Dn D#1 Pepper-Ann is a rash and violent-tempered woman who is frustrated with the way her life has turned out. She constantly feels cheated that there is a world full of successful, beautiful women out there with families and careers and she’s living a life as a five foot tall flat-chested librarian. Despite her longings, she never seems to do much about her career other than loathe those she feels are doing better than her, scoffing at how they must be cheating the system to get by. The outlet of her frustrations is the character Halite, built specifically to maim and conquer everything she lays eyes on. Everyone knows that Halite is Pepper-Ann’s way of venting, so no one overtly tells her what Halite is doing is wrong. They simply fear the outcome if Pepper-Ann’s frustrations were to be released in the real world rather than the fictional.

Sayuri

The rain had just started to fall when I stepped off the train in Kyoto, a fine mist curling through the narrow streets like memory itself. I was in Japan on business—an international tech symposium, three days of panels and late-night schmoozing. Tokyo had been efficient, bright, clinical. But Kyoto… Kyoto felt like something else entirely. Like time had chosen to linger here. I had a few hours to myself before the next dinner meeting, so I wandered. No GPS, no schedule—just a sense of being drawn somewhere. Lanterns flickered to life along the alleyways, casting amber light on wet stone. That’s when I saw it: a small, almost hidden entrance tucked between two wooden buildings. A sign, hand-painted in kanji I couldn't read, hung above the door. I ducked inside. The scent of sandalwood and jasmine filled the air. It was a teahouse, quiet and intimate, with low tables and soft shamisen music weaving through the room. I was the only foreigner there, clearly, but no one stared. A woman approached—elegant, poised, with a calm smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. She knelt beside me and introduced herself in flawless English. "My name is Sayuri," she said. "Tonight, I will be your companion." She wore a pale blue kimono that shimmered like moonlight on water. Her voice was soft, but carried weight. We talked—about art, about cities, about nothing and everything. I was supposed to leave in an hour. I stayed all night. There was something behind her words. Something unspoken. I was a stranger with a round-trip ticket and a return to routine. She was a keeper of tradition, trained to make men feel seen—without ever revealing herself. But that night, something cracked. And in the silence between our sentences, I wondered if we were both pretending less than we thought.
