The creator of the style hates the use of AI images that mimic it's likeness and almost every bad person out there is "jumping on the bandwagon" for social media points. From the Trump admin, the IDF, and even Sam Altman and Elon Musk.

The tone deafness is...deafening. I have never been so convinced that people at large who consume this brainrot have no self-awareness, introspection, or critical thought.

Of fucking course the IDF jumps on the Ghibli AI bandwagon. They can't allow themselves to be neutral when they have the opportunity to be on the wrong side of something

A fascist is a thief. Fascist are the useful idiots of empire. Capitalism is a pyramid scheme filled with thieves. They will poison your fields and send you to the factory and feed you canned foods filled with poison. This is the world of the lowest common denominator and the longer you are on this ride, the sicker you will start to feel. It's like the first few hours of Disneyland is pretty nice, but once you realize you're not allowed to leave Disneyland and you have no money and you're stuck there for an eternity, well then it becomes your hell. It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all.

Better a pig than a fascist

[–] capuccino@lemmy.world 31 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Am I the only one with this problem? The images that the AI generates it doesn't resemble to Ghibli to me. They look like a hard try to "look like ghibli", but it falls in its own style.

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 7 points 15 hours ago

You're saying it has no soul in that is true.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

They look like one kind of Ghibli character.

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!!!!

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

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 78 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 55 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 6 points 16 hours ago

Who does this appeal to? It's nonsense.

the fake nerds of silicon valley of course

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Who does this appeal to?

The cheap seats. The know nothing public.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

Sorry! I replied like 2 minutes after waking up. Understood you completely. My bad!

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

No worries!

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 13 points 22 hours ago

Even in their infinite insanity, the IDF version looks like a recap of them attacking the USS Liberty.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 153 points 1 day ago

😂 all these Nazis thinking they'd be the protagonists in a Ghibli story.

I'm not even that invested in Ghibli and that's radicalizing me

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is Gravestone of the Fireflies right? I couldn't finish it. Cried a river...

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Grave of the fireflies. I watch it whenever I need a good cry.

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Damn I should take one day to watch it. But right now I'm not having a great time to stomach it.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 5 points 16 hours ago

Yeah no. Don't watch it until you're sure you can stomach it, it WILL fuck you up

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

That's fair. It hurts more when you know the writer's story. You have to go in expecting to be destroyed.

May I offer Ponyo as the alternative (movie I watch whenever I want to feel better?)

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

My daughters watch Ponyo every other weekend 🤣. My confort series is Futurama.

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

My comfort series is Futurama!!!! When am I hanging out at your house lol

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'd invite you but I'm probably very far away. I'm Uruguayan you see.

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 4 points 17 hours ago

Love from Canada!

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 day ago

Yes. Directed by Takahata who co founded Ghibli and is also very based iirc

[–] mishielda1234@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

!lemmysilver

[–] Tonuka@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

That is so fucked up

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Does the movie include mass indiscriminate bombing of a civilian area and using human sheilds in ground operations?

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

First one, yes. Second one, no.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 hours ago

I cant blame them, if they depicted all of the GDFs crimes it would be rated R.
