Great. AI art. I visit this sub to see hand-drawn shit, not this garbage.
The OP himself admits that it is AI and compares oposition to it to "racism":
Mods defend the comic saying that there's no rule banning AI art:
They delete the top comments pointing out that it is AI art.

The reaction against AI art is the collective techsperg tendency towards the "donut steel" mentality, except this time it's collectivized so they can feel like they've been stolen from with 0 evidence of any actual theft. Ignoring the fact that most art these types consume is extremely derivative(often stylistic imitations, traces, and even photobashes) slop to begin with, the actual AI art that's being created isn't super high quality to begin with. Most of the examples of decent AI art involved several steps of refinement with manual photoshopping afterwards, which is more effort than what the people complaining about AI art put in anyways.
All the fanart and coomer commission artists that were writing screeds about AI ending cultural progress are still doing fine. The paypigs are still there. The majority of the art, both human and AI created, is still bad. Life is continuing on as normal.

I mean there's that old video essay (an actual essay not just some r-slur talking about games he played when he was 8) Everything is a Remix. I don't know how people don't see how AI is doing the same thing that we did. Consuming art and culture and spitting it out in a new form. As said before, good artists copy while great artists steal.
Another thing that bothers me is that the people who complain the most about AI are the r-slurs that create the most derivative garbage that is entirely made up of existing IPs. No, you making anime fan art isn't "sovlful" in fact it's actual copyright infringement.
