@bajax @picandor @beardalaxy or even just a 18 y/o who is not real anyway drinking alcohol
@bajax @picandor @beardalaxy that, too; and there's also a noticeable trend of prudish burgers clashing with the literal rest of the world just depicting what they consider normal or at least passable
@picandor @beardalaxy @bajax one very noticeable trend with male artists is all kinds of mom issues, which results in them drawing borderline grotesque honkers badonkers
@tomie @xianc78 the problem is, this letter is fake.
Author of this letter says it is fake.
It is added to the OP that this letter is fake: https://x.com/tj_littlejohn/status/1905458426110419387
@bajax @beardalaxy even though all of this is something people should talk about, but we all know what kinds of clowns will latch onto this, yeah
@beardalaxy @bajax ah, nor lolicon is actually really preventing any of this shit in OP, because, like, the absolute majority of crimes of this degree committed against children are done by straight men, who get off not to children, but again to the feeling of absolute control over someone's literal life and death, that's why they target the literal weakest
though I don't believe in pedophilia as an attraction, or it being innate at least
@xianc78 this shit is gay and with this C&D they officially lost the culture war to AI of all things
the trend was already starting to die down, ffs
This is just bullshit. I don't care that much about the whole Ghibli AI filters, but they are really stretching the current copyright system with this. The only thing that Gib Studio could be violating is trademark law by calling it Gib, but everything else is wrong.
1. You cannot copyright or patent an art-style.
2. The AI is only using Studio Ghibli's work as a reference while also using a real life photo to create a drawing. It's like if I took a photo and drew a cartoon version of it in Butch Hartman's style and used Fairly Odd Parents screenshots as references.
3. People are mostly using the tool to share images on social media. They aren't doing anything for commercial purposes. It's no different than people who draw pictures of themselves in the Powerpuff Girls art-style for example.
4. People aren't stupid enough to believe that Studio Ghibli would endorse something because something is drawn in it's artstyle. People have been drawing offensive memes using various works and they almost never harm the reputation of the original creators...unless you are Ben Garrison.
@beardalaxy @bajax the psychology behind abuse coping mechanism is that the artist feels in control when she (mostly she for obvious reasons) is drawing, being in absolute control over a picture after experiencing trauma of completely losing control
subconscious is also playing a role: like, you can even detect children who are going through some kind of abuse based on not only what they draw, but how they draw it (with caution, naturally, because evil monster in a picture can turn out to be a cartoon character)
drawing and other creative outlets also might help to channel intrusive thoughts into something productive and healthy, art therapy is a thing (plus the action of traditional drawing is a good way to stim)
and no matter how pedos would want to think otherwise, even completely pedophilia-focused intrusions, like P-OCD, are not equal to pedophilia as attraction, nor are a "gateway"; and it's become a problem with younger adults who experience some kind of OCD, get wrongpilled online about lines on paper having more rights than real people, and begin to cope in a very destructive way; while older millennials and x-ers would more likely just become furries or something
lolicon can also simply exist as "I like cute art, therefore I make cute art", and in general it's not a gateway to pedophilic actions in the same way as playing FPS games is not a gateway to shooting your school
@cowanon @LukeAlmighty @WhitestTemplar uh-huh, real natural beauty you posted there... with tons of makeup (and photoshop)
poetic, in a way
@WhitestTemplar @LukeAlmighty YY is non-viable, chum, good luck
@arc @beardalaxy I'd say they look more flat with simpler shades and therefore more on model
(I just threw the photo in img2img, lmao)
@arc @beardalaxy huh, thanks, I might give a second chance to Illustrious, then
