The thing I hate most about this artist is that he can actually be funny sometimes, when he's not being a bigoted troll. Which is most of the time.

Like, how dare that asshole make me laugh at something he made?

He can be really subtle in his messaging, too.

Like, reading this comic as a normal person, I see a ha-ha funny joke about the robot doing a hitler. Why does being rejected from art school make him do this? Uh... I don't know. It's just a reflection on an old story, don't think too much about it.

Viewing this comic through the lense of a nazi, however, doesn't it seem a little bit like a call to action? As if it's excusing the violence the ~~nazi~~ robot will engage in as a kind of justice for people's dismissal of AI art?

The only thing you have to do to reach that second conclusion is not believe that the nazi outcome is a bad one.

Anyway, I dunno. I'll never know what Stonetoss really meant, I just think it's interesting.

Absolutely.

I didn't even notice, then in my panic I replied to my own comment instead of editing.

I'll leave the whole mess up now - mea culpa.
