I don't know how to do this locally, but I definitely know how to do this online.

What you want is a LoRA. And since you want it for non-photorealistic porn, you specifically want a Pony LoRA. Here's how it is done:

Get a Civitai account, then acquire buzz (the site currency). Either farm buzz daily for a couple of weeks (follow 3 randos everyday for 10 buzz each and claim a free 25 buzz each day from the image generator for a total of 55 daily buzz in less than a minute's work) or drop $5 to get 5000 buzz. You'll need 500 buzz to train a LoRA.

Go to the "Create" button and expand the drop-down menu, then select "Train a LoRA". Pick "Style" and give it a name (usually the name of the artist). Agree to the terms and upload a zipped folder with all your images. They need to be tagged, but Civitai can automatically tag them for you. Click the "Auto-Label" button and use the default settings. But before you hit "Submit", you need to add a trigger word to the "Prepend Tags" field. These are the Words of Power you use to summon your LoRA. I recommend "[ARTIST NAME]_STYLE", for example "PICASSO_STYLE" or "MICHELANGO_STYLE". In the "Base Model" page, select "Pony" under "SDXL", then hit "Submit" and wait.

In a few hours, your LoRA will be ready. You can publish it to Civitai and use it with their online generator or you can download it to your computer and generate locally with a program like Fooocus.

Before doing this, you may want to clean up your dataset. Get rid of low quality, small, or redundant images. If any of the pictures contains an artist signature, crop it, or else your LoRA will learn to generate faux signatures.

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
