Hayao Miyazaki: I don’t think there’s anything that could make me despise the US more than I already do.
The US:
TIL I am Hayao Miyazaki.
At least be realistic about it. The fascist is in plain clothes with a facecovering. The secret police making people disappear is already well established.
I utterly despise this AI Ghibli trend. If you’re a fan of Ghibli or Hayao Miyazaki you wouldn’t do this. I especially hate that fascists are now doing it. Miyazaki hates fascists. I hate what the internet and social media have done to our society. Clearly the majority of us are not ready to use them responsibly.
This photo breaks my heart. Like what the actual fuck???
Hey, chill. It’s just a cartoon.
/s
So maybe to unbreak it just a little, the picture is some AI drawing of an actual woman, a convicted fentanyl trafficker. I just don’t understand why the cartoon.
I don’t understand the downvotes. There’s plenty to criticize the USA government for. This just isn’t one of those moments.
If it makes you feel better, that hand has 7 fingers so it’s probably AI.
At least a human didn’t draw it
It’s AI. The trend du jour is uploading a picture to ChatGPT and asking it to recreate it in Studio Ghibli style.
it does not

So there is some context to it. She has been arrested for smuggling Fentanil, reentered the US again and got arrested once more.
The image is making fun of her specifically, not so much the all out “immigrants are bad and nobody cares if they cry” message that is suggested by not posting said context with it. Making fun of sonedoby in this way can be m condemned morally too of course, but it’s not how people ITT are aporachig the issue.
This is the kind of “I want my worldview reassured so I will ignore the context” behaviour that I see a lot on the right. The more I am on Lemmy, the more I see this same aporach.
So this is nothing more than left wing propaganda.
I know this will get me some downvotes, but I encourage you to argue why I am wrong too. Because I don’t think I am right now, but I am open to change my mind.

From when he first came into office he was talking about “Lying CNN” on the official Whitehouse website. I think it was cooked long before this.

Your link is broken. It just takes one click to get where you meant to go though.

Jesus, they really do ruin absolutely everything they touch. It’s like Midas but even worse.

It’s even a bad image for their intended purpose, because it evokes empathy for the person crying in handcuffs.
I guess since the person making it and the philistine machine that produced it both have no understanding of empathy nor art, that was lost on the generators of this image.
You’ve missed out on the last several decades of Republican rhetoric, tears of “their enemies” is exactly what they want. They know they’re the bad guys and revel in it.
This isn’t like tears of their enemies though, it just evokes empathy. I haven’t cried in a long time, don’t cry often, and didn’t cry about this image. It’s just a sad image.
It’s close to actual reality, where a lady probably previously working in a kitchen in a hairnet is sad that she’s being deported, and some villainous, stone-faced everyman tries to look tough while standing in front of a flag.
Usually they add in some fascist elements that make it look more glorious to be a sack of shit, but they didn’t even do that with this image.
Yeah. It’s white, military authority literally standing on the side of the flag. They’re crying because they’re being handcuffed “probably because they’re gonna be sent back to their shithole country cuz they came here illegal.”
Perhaps you think this is more empathetic because of the art style but this is rote, flag-hugger imagery. Except this was probably produced by bot and the poster was too lazy to run the gen more than twice.
They don’t have empathy. The crying lady is brown, they’re ecstatic.
Y’all thought trail tears wasn’t a burn on natives? Like laugh at the people who died in forced marches.
Can you imagine a photo of the Trail of Tears with a cartoon AI filter posted by the government? Fuck.
The Trail of Tears was always taught to me as a black spot in our history, a horrible thing that we (the United States) did to natives.
It does for you. For the intended audience, it makes them cheer and jeer at the ‘stupid brown woman’ ‘finally getting her comeuppance’ for ‘daring to disrespect the flag by being an illegal’.
They have no sympathy or empathy. They want to see PoC crying in chains as they are led off by white officers. To them, that means the system is working.
Seems like a bad art style to convey that message to anyone except the most hardened of fascists – which is almost a more succinct wording of my original point.
Not many people with empathy are left on Xitter, I suppose.
If you hate your mental health, you can use Nitter to read the replies to that post. Just the most sickening shit imaginable.
Nah I’m good, I bailed on that site as soon as it was sold.
The only war is class war! Immigrants are hard working people who deserve a path to citizenship. The parasite class is the tech bro oligarchs!
They weaponized the only interesting thing about America. Immigrants.
That’s incredibly reductive of the massive amount of interesting things like our beautiful nature that America has
Mhmm. It existed before us. And will after us.
… That is completely irrelevant to the point that it’s in America and you called it by extension not interesting
The humans that are alive on American soil now have raped the landscape for miles in every direction. Whats to see other than travesty in place of majesty?
I see you don’t live in America. I’m sorry you haven’t been able to see the massive majesty that still exists. But it’s incredible, what still remains mostly untouched. America is a vast, vast place. And not everywhere has been gone through.
Been here my whole life.
We need to take the class war to the streets. This shit isn’t going to stop. Look how quickly they panicked about a couple of Teslas self immolating. Direct action works, the time for peaceful noncompliance is over.
Can someone do a Ghibli of Luigi?
Studio ghibli produced some of the profoundly touching movies ever made. Them butchering it like this with AI is just fucking stupid.
7 fingers btw.
Nice catch!
This is a good time to rewatch Porco Rosso.
I love Porco Rosso. The theme of the golden age of aviation is something I love. Barely 10 years ago I wrote what would be my first novella in a setting that would be a dieselpunk fantasy that would invoke that era and a fantasy ww2 where Nazi like enemies are fought.
But the come back of Nazis in the real world blasted my creativity. I could no longer make what seemed to me a distant era separate from what is happening now. The result is my own planned fantasy universe that had been building in my mind for years was just crushed.
You could flip it around and use your ideas to write a near future or current day alternate reality story.
It had a strong fantasy element (I even had a massive map made of the world that I was detailing on a microlevel until… I lose the file due to a crash…). It also has furries in it. I’ll DM you with a link to the story and even the file if you want it.
Sure I’ll read it. I don’t care about furries one way or the other but it’s an honor to read someone’s work. So sorry about your map. I spent so many hours making fantasy maps when I was young.
miyazaki fucking hates it and thinks it’s a sign the end times
It’s gone now GPT refuses to do it if you ask
