    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.

      Well, Nazis do have a tendency of appropriating and mangling countless cultures to fill the void left from their humanity, I would say that extends to those who openly admit ethnic cleansing
