    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

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

      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.

          I think OP meant irony. The irony that we’re at a point where zionist/imperialist militaries are communicating on a nazi-owned platform using stolen AI art styles about war when the style was developed by someone vehemently against war/imperialism in their creations. The irony is palpable on each and every level.

      Grave of the fireflies is a very interesting propaganda morality piece they made

        Its an adaptation of a autobiography written by a Japanese man who survived the war as a child. What happened in the movie essentially happened to the main character. I say “essentially” because what actually happened to him and his sister is much worse than what happened in the movie.

        Remember, no matter what atrocities the country commits, there are innocent bistanders on all sides. Quoting the incredible TV show MASH

        War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse. [sic] There are no innocent bystanders in Hell, but war is chock full of them – little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.
