so that the Fuck AI crowd can care about the brown people How can you possibly make such a vile distortion of the general reaction? The comments have been very clear in explaining the problems of using AI slop. It’s not even a particularly challenging meme given the community we’re in. The British Empire being a plight upon the Global South and capitalism killing millions of people are largely agreed upon here. Here is a meme from a year ago, that roughly makes the same point, from this same community, by Yogthos no less: lemmy.ml/post/36383656 Capitalism being bad, and especially so towards the Global South, is not a point of contention here, as both things have been extensively said and discussed. The reason why people are reacting like this now is because, this time, a corporate service with extremely serious societal and environmental consequences has been used to repeat this already well-established point, and OP is acting a bit weird and defensive when being called out about it. I don’t think it is bad to repeat already established points, especially as libs keep overflowing every thread slightly critical with the status quo with propaganda, but comments calling OP out for doing an extremely low-effort, problematic iteration of this point are completely legitimate.

Imagine coming on here as South Asian, with your entire ethnicity becoming target for vile bigotry across the entirety of social media and your history under British colonial rule largely forgotten to make way for dubious accounts of communism brutality, finally seeing a meme acknowledging the gross injustices committed by the British whose consequences are rearing their ugly heads to this day…only for your people to change the discussion to the meme being AI. You wrote an entire paragraph about this when one comment in the thread and mod action would have sufficed. Nobody knows who you are or your own biases, so people are going to skeptical of your random crusade something entirely unrelated to the genocide of South Asians.

I don’t think it’s a gross distortion of reality. Your reaction kinda proves my point. There were so many people here who were like “Umm downvote cause AI” OP clearly said they reshared what they found, so they didn’t use the AI either. So I figured id help and I even made the nice non AI version and took the time to not even pick that pedophile Drake, and who doesn’t love Miku? You still got upset that you got called out and lashed outward instead of checking yourself inward.
