I genuinely want some kind of TTRPG about Redwall like, 20 years ago.

Canada is in Eurovision!? I swear, nobody here fucking knows about Eurovision.

It would be fantastic if we could actually get rid of Nazis, but there are far too many people in power who would rather work with Nazis than leftists.

Damn, I didn't know that Eminem was hurting so much.

Albert really needs to cut his hair. That's not even a stylish, mysterious "eyes hidden by hair" look, that's just me when I was a kid and couldn't get an appointment with a hairdresser until the next week.

I was very disappointed that it was not about communism, despite the title.

I don't think there's peer pressuring someone to have sex, but there is making fun of a girl for not having sex and a fair amount of sex in general. Also a car that the boys say "the chicks'll cream" about, which is... not what children should be singing about.

I'm not insulted, I just have no idea what you're accusing me of. I feel like I'm talking to a child whose game I ruined by doing something against the rules, but they never told me the rules and so I don't know what to apologize for.

I was trying to say it in a kind of lighthearted way, which is why I said "sneaky snake" and not something an actual adult would use as an insult. I just meant that I said a straightforward thing and you started accusing me of something.

Are you trolling me? I seriously don't understand what's happening.

Most people don't respond to "I want to see how involved AI might be before being extremely angry about this" like "you sneaky snake, I see what you're REALLY saying" the way you are. It's very strange and I have no idea what you're reading into my comments.

I've just been replying to you because it's very confusing. "Don't like that some people see exactly what you mean?" What I mean is exactly what I said. I'm wondering what you think I meant that is somehow nefarious.

I don't know if my tone is too tough to read or something, but you're being very weird about someone who is on your side but just wants to wait for more information.

mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
Sure, but you can use a character for reference of a mood you want to give your character even if they're not physically similar, but Eren is weird here because he's not evidently a reference for that either.

I don't know why you're so dead-set on treating me as hostile when I'm just saying "I don't know yet if this is kind of bad or absolutely devastating to this production".

mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
What a bizarre interaction. I'm just waiting to see more evidence come out.
100
mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
I'm literally denying nothing. I'm just hoping for more evidence before I say "they DEFINITELY did lots of fundamental shit with AI instead of a few stupid things."

mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
I'm not stressing over if it is or isn't, and I'm not trying to defend them, I just genuinely want to know more information before saying anything certainly. I'm sure if this is considered enough of a controversy, we WILL get more information depending on if they defend this or apologize.
100
mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
I'm not jumping to any conclusion. I'm just leaving the possibility open that maybe they didn't use loads of AI through the whole project. I just want more evidence than this one thing before claiming the whole production is artistically bankrupt.

My problem is that I've never even heard of this guy. There are plenty of fans who do NOT praise the sexist Nazi.

mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
I'm certainly not. I have no horse in this race. I hate LLMs and I haven't really cared for Avatar as a franchise for years. I genuinely just don't want to assume too much. Totally agree that that info is crazy wrong regardless and I have no idea why it would've been displayed.
000
mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
IS HE well-regarded by fans? I've never heard of him. I'm sure he's popular with far-right people, who shouldn't like Avatar anyway, conceptually, but unfortunately sometimes awful people still like good things.

Also "Canadian bacon" isn't even the same thing in Canada. The U.S. just applied that to some ham product they have for some reason.

mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
I think Eren could be used as a reference for the "vibe" of a South Asian character regardless (like for expression/mood and not ethnicity), but... not this character, whose hair is not hidden by his face and who is not evidently "haunted-looking", so I just don't know why he's there.
010
mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
Ah, I just think it's irrelevant to the discussion because Eren isn't trying to seem South Asian. He's just a white European-coded character continuing to be that same thing, but with long hair now.

mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
It seems like it could've just been someone throwing together this presentation last-minute (though why they would cite ChatGPT instead of just not stating a source if nobody asked if anyone's guess). Just saying I'd want more evidence than this of any visuals using AI.
150
mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
I think it's wild to cite ChatGPT as a source of that weirdly-phrased, generalized, arguably orientalist paragraph, but I will say that I think some people here are jumping to conclusions about how much an LLM was involved in production.

mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
But I can BARELY make it out and probably wouldn't have without replies explaining it.

mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
I don't think him being in disguise has any bearing on this context, but I also noticed him and was like "What the fuck, that's not remotely the vibe of this character. Why is Eren here?" 😆
170
mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
I do think people are jumping to conclusions with the idea that there was significant LLM use. It seems like it might have just been this one bit of "research" about Asian cultures and facial hair was from ChatGPT, which sucks, but doesn't necessarily mean any visuals used it.

??? I've never heard of Avatar fans as being especially shitty people.
140
mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
I don't think that's totally fair, because Harry Potter was always bad morally and this is just like... maybe don't BUY anything Avatar anymore.
160
mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
This is irrelevant to the AI point but... Is that adult Eren Jaeger as one of the reference images there for some reason? 🤨 That's not remotely the aesthetic they're using for this character.
150
mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
I thought something was weird with the compression on my phone, specifically, because I didn't see anyone else mentioning how unreadable this is! I now see that the second paragraph on the left of the pic there says "according to ChatGPT" and something about Asian men not usually having beards.

Considering that in a earlier recent post he capitalized "Nonverbal Autistic" for no apparent reason, I feel like I can't be certain that he means to imply anything like that.

I kinda thought it was just because they're pretty evil, not because they're Jewish.

To bad the Revolutionary Army tends to do FUCK ALL in the story. That's not really a judgment of his political beliefs, but rather that he may as well have not included them in the story if he was going to do this little.

mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 18/04/2026
True, though I wonder if he's READ Che's writing or is just one of many people who thought he seemed cool? Not ruling him out, we just don't know.

I'm in the group of people who have grown up with One Piece and have unfortunately autistically over-analyzed it and come to the conclusion that it leans left, but is a lot less leftist than many leftists want it to be. It's also generally less GOOD than I want it to be but... that's another topic.

I haven't watched Naruto in a long time and never watched Boruto, so I just don't really remember his political statements. He seemed like a nice kid who didn't want to kill people, though, so I'm going to say "probably not a U.S. conservative".
110
mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 21/03/2026
INSANE take. "Fought for his nation" and "tried to rebuild from within" (sus wording) means being like the far-right U.S. conservatives. Naruto didn't strike me as a very political character, but that's a reach.

One that I actually would've wanted to watch as a kid, instead of Ash's adventures... I'm just salty because I was stuck with Ash as a kid when I really liked Pokémon but hated this stupid, insufferable little boy.

I prefer there not being real animals, because Pokémon would be outcompeting them like crazy, but it does make early stuff weird when people don't know about a common animal. Honestly, it's kind of weird anyway since the Pokémon ARE essentially common animals regardless!

mastermarkus.bsky.social @mastermarkus.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
I think I'm in the same camp... honestly, I was half-hoping nobody would call my bluff because I haven't played Paldea so maybe I'm forgetting some because they're very forgettable. There's pretty much at least one boring fish every gen.
