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.
