Professional jealousy

When I'm annoyed or jealous of my peers, I write snarky reviews or call them out online. When they're feeling similarly, they call the police on me, threaten me via pornography (not deepfakes, but lots of AI designed to resemble people), create bullshit events for me to attend where they refuse to speak to me, then listen to me blabbing to an actual friend that they've furnished for that purpose, then attempt to steal my hard-won scripts and songs off me so that they can appropriate them. They might even be commissioning content from DeviantArt creators (Kharis-art). - As we can see, this reflects a distinct power imbalance, but also a lack of ethics. My AI use is ethical: it's not replacing human artists, as nobody would draw my cartoons, and it's only a facet of my filmmaking practice. While they may be part of cajoling NZ to ditch the right coalition in 2026, they're perfectly legal and the Prime Omelette hasn't been able to stop them. They are a very different kettle of fish to flooding my porn feed with AI 'hints' to sell a script and allow some arseholes to pretend as if they're my friends. That's what VUW and Red Scare participated in, though it was clearly set up by the NZSIS. - Re: Red Scare. They're not used to seeing me as an equal, and have continuously spread ugly rumours about me that weren't substantiated. Given the trouble I got into for spreading truth, this seems completely unfair. Tory's defamatory statement on Q&A merely reflected the privilege bubble that all of those cunts live in. A privilege bubble where insulting me on TV is ok, but even daring to say that James and Cass aren't all that gets me into massive trouble. What Tory said reflects on her advisors, her staffers, and the local Green branch. Too good to talk to a 'homeless', 'alcoholic' filmmaker, but not morally sound enough to treat them like a person rather than a problem to solve. Tory could've, and should've, found time to meet me personally. Red Scare could've, and should've, attended arbitration and mediation. Neither group took up those opportunities to glimpse my humanity, and hence have nobody to blame but themselves for my choice to refuse to be Tina and to refuse to perform for them.
