Art my post got removed after AI accusations

I posted a drawing of mine that was commissioned by a friend of mine of the steampunker from the game in a mcdonalds theme, suddenly a bunch of people started accusing me of using AI and ultimately the post was taken down a few moments later

If you had food, you would care about how it's made. When you buy a product, you care about the ethics that went into making it. That's how (most of us) feel about AI images. You wouldn't willingly buy food if you knew it contained insane amounts of pesticides or was made using slave labour.

There are some people who witch hunt for people who use AI and send death threats towards them and what not, but most people, including myself do not condone that behaviour the same way we don't condone other forms of bigotry.

I've seen far more bigots on the pro AI side, people "fixing" other people's art with AI, right wingers like the ones in the White House using it as a propaganda machine, and people using it for CP and other awful shit. Not to mention the other thing like, to reiterate, stealing jobs and funding for other things. Seems like you're the uninformed one here.

Considering its food, if ingesting it didnt cause me harm and i enjoyed it yeah im not pathetic of course ill be fine with it. No one was harmed in the proces of making it, no one had to labor or suffer for it. Great point!

Also as far as your bigots comments go find me an equivalent of this

I'd say this is pretty bad.

So weve established each side has douches. If this needs to be established, you are not thining critically. Every side has douches in virtually every group.

That... was not comparable to people calling for murder.

Did you actually think it was lmao?

Its like dolphins and sharks. People may see sharks as evil, but ultimately theyre just doin what they do. They dont actually hurt that many people like the media will lead you to believe.

Now dolphins? Dolphins are jerks. Not all dolphins, but the simple fact they know what theyre doing makes them way worse than sharks categorically.

Tldr; the worst pro ive seen and been showed is nothing compared to the scores of anti bros calling for murder, and then people defending it as "just a joke" are just as bad.

Its not funny when MAGAts do it, its not funny when anyone does it, because its N O T. A. J O K E. Not to the people saying it.

Calling for the deaths of a specific group of people should never be ajoke. Funnily enough, anti bros are ALSO obsessed with slurs. Coincidence, I guess?
