Also in the other case when you'd actually like to have an edge antialiased, why isn't there a way to tell Gimp to not fuck with specific pixels but only with the ones I added?

The only way I found so far is to duplicate the layer, create a mask that has a cutout for the pixels I want to change, apply it, and hope it doesn't look too shitty when the layers are combined again (as it obviously still will change the pixels but that'll be hidden behind the original layer).
