I don't understand why Ghibli, a style supposed to be soft and beautiful, is being imitated to depict tiring politics and disgusting things. Do we truly live in a world with few souls?

rhetorical post, i already know why.

@bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar did you really not laugh at floyd x chauvin ghibli posts

@mischievoustomato@tsundere.love i am happy to have not seen it.

@bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar this is what miyazaki gets for shaving off his glorious jomon beard

@bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar its the same reason the "Pixar style" stuff was a meme a while back. It's funny to shove internet memes and famous images through an anime filter. It's also an easy style to prompt.

@PurpCat@clubcyberia.co according to some "AI artists" it's much more important than that

@bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar the real world becomes more and more an escape from the internet

@bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar a lot of people doing it find it funny to depict memes or ecelebs in anime style that's just what I've noticed

It's a shitty meme. A bunch of people found AI art and used it to "create" the most boring thing imaginable. It's not surprising in the least that they'd turn the beautiful ugly. The Vance thing is leagues better; people actually had to photoshop him themselves.

I love you guys but I don't understand the weeb thing where there's some kind of sanctity to anime.

@wgiwf@poa.st the Vance memes were great, much better than this.

@Robert_Edwardly@poa.st @wgiwf@poa.st this goes for all AI art, personally. this stuff is a disgusting avenue for people with no soul to create.

@theorytoe@ak.kyaruc.moe it's definitely getting unpleasant even on fedi. there are still refuges on the internet but they're getting harder to find (by design).

@PurpCat@clubcyberia.co i've seen it used on youtube thumbnails already too

It's the last art that isn't about gay niggers and doesn't feel bad about it

@monsterislandcolonizer@poa.st @Robert_Edwardly@poa.st @wgiwf@poa.st until someone uses AI to make it that, at least

https://poa.st/@WandererUber/posts/Af3Qgza4BuSCR5Bbmq https://poa.st/@WandererUber/posts/AlYa5dLv0N7p7va2HA I agree and asked this before. Nobody got it

@bleedingphoenix@wolfgirl.bar Because this shit made me spill my drink with laughter

@VIPPER@new.asbestos.cafe that makes the scene look more human

@WandererUber@poa.st i think there really are just soulless niggas all around us.

@pepsi_man@poa.st faggot behavior

@berkberkman@shitposter.world @PurpCat@clubcyberia.co well yeah, you can't make those things uglier.

@berkberkman@shitposter.world @PurpCat@clubcyberia.co yeah, that's my point.

@BiggusDiccus@poa.st I'm aware, I've watched Castle in the Sky and am reading Nausicaa. it's not like Rick & Morty, though. there is a distinct difference between painting harsh realities against optimistic tones and themes versus just reveling in ugly things.
