      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?

        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.

        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.
