      So maybe to unbreak it just a little, the picture is some AI drawing of an actual woman, a convicted fentanyl trafficker. I just don’t understand why the cartoon.

        I don’t understand the downvotes. There’s plenty to criticize the USA government for. This just isn’t one of those moments.

      If it makes you feel better, that hand has 7 fingers so it’s probably AI.

      At least a human didn’t draw it

      If this wasn’t posted by the White House account, I’d definitely believe it was posted by someone against the deportations.

      It’s an innocent looking woman bawling her eyes out while being arrested. Why would they think this would help their anti-immigration cause?

      I mean, I actually know why. Because that’s what the conservatives want. They know innocent people are being arrested and denied due process. It’s not that they don’t care - they actively want it.

      Go look at /r/conservative on Reddit. These people are cheering Rubio on after he announced that visaholders are being deported due to something they said or protested with no evidence being offered. And I’m not joking or exaggerating.

        Reality is that she’s a drugs dealer (Fentanyl) - looks don’t tell everything.

        I’m all for criticizing the USA government for the bullshit they pull. This one just isn’t one.

          As an European im already confused, why US-American law enforcer publish mugshots (privacy-rights of the offender)

          But to post a picture of the offender crying inface of deportation as a ghibli-meme… wow. The USA are really fucked up

        Didn’t you notice her skin is dark, and she’s fat? Also probably something about her hair. These obvious signs point to the true evil inside her, you see! Only a bleeding heart satanic liberal atheist could see that and think she’s an innocent woman!

    Wow, I guess this is peak 2025. I know I’m calling it to early, but it can’t get much worse than this.

    Right?

    Right???

    Studio ghibli produced some of the profoundly touching movies ever made. Them butchering it like this with AI is just fucking stupid.

        I love Porco Rosso. The theme of the golden age of aviation is something I love. Barely 10 years ago I wrote what would be my first novella in a setting that would be a dieselpunk fantasy that would invoke that era and a fantasy ww2 where Nazi like enemies are fought.

        But the come back of Nazis in the real world blasted my creativity. I could no longer make what seemed to me a distant era separate from what is happening now. The result is my own planned fantasy universe that had been building in my mind for years was just crushed.

            It had a strong fantasy element (I even had a massive map made of the world that I was detailing on a microlevel until… I lose the file due to a crash…). It also has furries in it. I’ll DM you with a link to the story and even the file if you want it.

              Sure I’ll read it. I don’t care about furries one way or the other but it’s an honor to read someone’s work. So sorry about your map. I spent so many hours making fantasy maps when I was young.

    It’s even a bad image for their intended purpose, because it evokes empathy for the person crying in handcuffs.

    I guess since the person making it and the philistine machine that produced it both have no understanding of empathy nor art, that was lost on the generators of this image.

      You’ve missed out on the last several decades of Republican rhetoric, tears of “their enemies” is exactly what they want. They know they’re the bad guys and revel in it.

        Y’all thought trail tears wasn’t a burn on natives? Like laugh at the people who died in forced marches.

          Can you imagine a photo of the Trail of Tears with a cartoon AI filter posted by the government? Fuck.
