    The creator of the style hates the use of AI images that mimic it’s likeness and almost every bad person out there is “jumping on the bandwagon” for social media points. From the Trump admin, the IDF, and even Sam Altman and Elon Musk.

    The tone deafness is…deafening. I have never been so convinced that people at large who consume this brainrot have no self-awareness, introspection, or critical thought.

    Of fucking course the IDF jumps on the Ghibli AI bandwagon. They can’t allow themselves to be neutral when they have the opportunity to be on the wrong side of something

    A fascist is a thief. Fascist are the useful idiots of empire. Capitalism is a pyramid scheme filled with thieves. They will poison your fields and send you to the factory and feed you canned foods filled with poison. This is the world of the lowest common denominator and the longer you are on this ride, the sicker you will start to feel. It’s like the first few hours of Disneyland is pretty nice, but once you realize you’re not allowed to leave Disneyland and you have no money and you’re stuck there for an eternity, well then it becomes your hell. It’s a small world after all. It’s a small world after all.

    Am I the only one with this problem? The images that the AI generates it doesn’t resemble to Ghibli to me. They look like a hard try to “look like ghibli”, but it falls in its own style.

    Even in their infinite insanity, the IDF version looks like a recap of them attacking the USS Liberty.

    He’s offered a pardon for being a military deserter and this is his reply:

    Miyazaki fucking hates war.

    Fuck, the entire premise of “Howl’s Moving Castle” is how war turns people into literal monsters!!!

    Miyazaki famously was not present to accept an award for “Spirited Away” because of George W’s war policies!!!

    FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!

      Well, Nazis do have a tendency of appropriating and mangling countless cultures to fill the void left from their humanity, I would say that extends to those who openly admit ethnic cleansing

      He also expressly stated his hatred for AI art.

      Satire is truly dead, buried, dug up, smacked around a bit, shot in the face for good measure, buried, dug up again, had a shit taken on it, and buried upside-down.

        It’s not satire. It’s overt propaganda. Problem is, it’s lazy propaganda! Do you think people who truly love Ghibli would be swayed by this? Who does this appeal to? It’s nonsense.

        That said: let them keep doing it. Allow them to continue shootinh themselves in the foot.
