and that ways lies a poison pill to community engagement.
… mostly due to bias-forming rhetoric like calling any generated image “slop.” People had the same kneejerk attitude toward all CGI, long after CGI looked fine. At some point it’s the monkey ladder experiment: self-perpetuating behavior through performative distaste.
What specifically is wrong with this image?
Right, should’ve stolen a frame from a cartoon. Then the text would be funny.
NORTH KOREA HAS IMPLEMENTED DEATH PENALTY FOR
hey wow why are you talking like it’s the death penalty ha ha
WE WILL KILL YOU
hey gosh it’s not about “disagreement” like hot dogs versus hamburgers, it’s just
DEATH PENALTY FOR WRONG OPINION
what’s the matter, are you some kind of monster?
This is why people block your entire instance.
This is why people reject Lemmy, as a project.
Which could have been the weirdest tangent on a Wikipedia page. Jim Henson, Muppets, Sesame Street, retired characters, Big Bird, oh was that an early version of Abelardo?, Challenger shuttle dis-- what. What? What the fuck?!
When the guy who played Mr. Hooper died, they worked that into the show. The cast, sincerely grieving, had to explain to a seven-foot-tall canary that he wasn’t coming back. That’s not really he same kind of intrusion from reality, as acknowledging the same giant fowl fucking exploded on national television.
The only possible comparison would be if some show had a gimmicky live episode that happened to be scheduled for 9 AM, on a Tuesday, in September of 2001.
Same. I think that episode was shown in-class, too, so I came alarmingly close to the XKCD.
This thread has been fucking great for blocking people who would have insisted, whatever this new Auschwitz thing is, it’s just as bad as something Hindenburg did.
No. They weren’t.
Generic percentage increases to immigration enforcement are not the same as Kristi Noem tweeting about SIXTY-FIVE MILLION PEOPLE, no matter how strongly you feel about the shit we were doing before.
The Idiot is talking about stripping natural-born citizens of that citizenship, and sending them all to cat-food factories in Sudan, and y’all still wanna bicker about Obama catching people crossing the border. Like you can’t figure out there’s a difference between a little over a million people, across eight years, and every Hispanic in America facing a no-trial black-hood flight to fuckoff nowhere, as soon as practically possible.
Oh right, I’m on ML. Where whatever a building is used for now is the fault of whoever built it.
No difference between fighting human trafficking and separating all children from all parents.
No difference between having immigration laws and shipping random brown people to Sudan.
Same same same nuh uh always same.
They weren’t planning to round up an entire fifth of the US population and put them in concentration camps.
I feel like that alone counts for a lot. Sorry you seem to disagree.
This is just “both sides” with more steps.
Lady Marshmallow travels like a Wooloo.
The text also being soft indicates that’s a style choice.
This is misusing a pejorative to turn specific criticism into general prejudice. Say ‘I hate slop’ and you’ll get near-universal agreement, but people who mean ‘fuck all uses of AI’ are not even the majority. The pattern of retreating from ‘I hate how it looks’ to ‘quality doesn’t matter!’ is straight-up pretense.
It’s a low-stakes opportunity to examine how language escalates tension. People in that absolute extreme position are emboldened. People merely tired of shrimp Jesus or whateverthefuck get lumped with them. All nuance is stomped out of this important new term, originally for ‘uncurated spam.’
