Exactly. The whole point of memes is remixing a shared cultural context to create new meanings. If you're just whistling up a bland piece of shit image to convey a thought, that's just political cartooning with, if it can be believed, even less effort than usual.

It worked!
The trigger was deleted by OP!
Congrats!

AI art is the aesthetic of fascism. It pushes the viewer’s thoughts in a particular direction, with the illusion of substance and serious thought underpinning it, but ultimately thin and without any consistent cohesive beliefs or connection to any objective shared reality.

More Dark Knight Returns-based memes, please.

I don’t want connect over some dime-a-dozen clanker “art.”

Batman being anti-gun is so silly to me.

"Oh yeah Bruce sure thing, if I need to protect myself I should just fly my private jet to get trained by the master of an ancient secret order of ninjas while my SAS trained butler takes care of affairs in the mansion (and presumably a team of people taking care of business shit for my billion dollar corporation like it has been since Daddy left it to me when I was 9.)"

Like my guy I get it, you saw your parents get shot and that has to be pretty damn traumatic, but dude not all of us have the resources to get trained by a guy who will become a supervillain and our enemy, some of us find it easier to save up $600 and buy a damn Glicky. Get therapy.

Also AI sucks.

Batman should use a gun. Criminals are constantly escaping from Arkham, but that's how he likes it otherwise he would get bored. If police encountered Mr Freeze or the Joker killing civilians you know they're shooting to kill.

I can't help but feel like there is a slight tinge of irony because the main complaint I see against AI art is that it's all based on Stolen work but this meme is also stolen work it is very unlikely that OP is the original artist that drew that.

Now i say slight because it's obviously different just slapping some text over a screenshot vs ai training but it's enough to make me smirk a little
