        Because it’s a direct parody of a culturally relevant AI image. Are you expecting someone to break out the oil paints in order to make a legible slop reference?

        The original image was propaganda political persuasive media. This image is also propaganda political persuasive media.

        As gross as AI slop is, as much as I don’t want it to exist at all, if I want to exist in reality I have to accept that it does.

        A significant reason for MAGAs ascension and persistence is they’re better at propaganda political persuasive media. For MAGA-resisting groups to refuse to employ effective and efficient propaganda political persuasive media tooling on principle is just an extension of how we got here in the first place.

        In the same way an armed populace is more difficult to oppress, a cultural war is easier when you’re not imposing self-inflicted munitions restrictions on yourself while your opponents use those same munitions to significant effect.
