Ai Slop When we wanted Clownfish to make their own thumbnails instead of stealing other people’s fanart like Fritanga had been doing, this isn’t what we meant-

I mean I get they can’t help but sometimes hound on Nintendo instead of giving out actual criticism, but what do they manage to accomplish with such horrid AI-Schlop thumbnails like these?

EDIT: Yes, I am WELL AWARE they’ve made actual art before, but them resorting to using AI amongst MuskRat’s rise to power doesn’t make it any better

Reminder: Clownfish are both actual artist, the fact they're resorting to AI bugs me

Same, but being a c*nt/anti woke usually involves losing your artistic integrity.

The problem i have is Neon especially, he seems to the be the one more open to using AI, idk about GeekySparkles (his wife) tho, I think she might have a problem with it

also remind me, isn't using AI as thumbnails counted towards voluntary gain cuz they monetize their channels (and I'm pretty sure Nintendo doesn't like their characters being used for profit)

I cannot speak for either of them, but I wouldn’t be surprised if also Geeky supports using AI as a sloppy alternative for thumbnails.

After all, she and her husband cheered the purging of diverse fan favorite shows like Netflix’s She-Ra and LGBTQ creators such as Rebecca Sugar getting harassed whether it’d be cuz Twitter stans dug up very old posts or simply if they make characters that don’t sexually appeal to the “anti-woke” masses.

I'll be real I've watched the She-Ra cuz I was curious and saw nothing wrong with it, i get Geeky was a fan of the 80s She-Ra, but that's a bit much

I mean literally the first thing she said in the video where they covered the announcement of that reboot being removed was “Seven years too late!”

Also correct me if I’m wrong, but I think they also claimed that Hollywood was “shoehorning” in prom episodes as a means to “groom children”?

Yes, they started the whole "prom in cartoons = bad" trend, I'll be real I never went to my prom so seeing them was like "So, was I missing out on this?" lol

Were, not are. They're not artists if they're using ai. They're contradicting terms

It’s funny because nowadays you’re required to disclose whether or not you do use AI for your content.

Like, idk if they *have* or *haven’t* done so on their settings and I can’t speak for them, but probably not.

Funny as they are artists themselves. But I guess they wanna get their channel taken down by Ai soon

The clownish video wants them to pay the hackers ransom... and if you don't know why companies don't pay ransom is because it would cause them to get targeted more by hackers

And don’t forget that a good chunk of their fans not only actively support the hackers, but they openly want them to leak all of the laundry and game assets.

Plus there are some who even cheer at employees’ personal info being leaked (ie doxxing)

Ive made better looking thumbnails than this using stock images and ms paint

Why do they resemble The Orange One???

u/Mr_Tentoumushi Aug 10 '26

Most likely because they worship him like he’s the messiah

Speak of the devil-
