He's offered a pardon for being a military deserter and this is his reply:

Miyazaki fucking hates war.

Fuck, the entire premise of "Howl's Moving Castle" is how war turns people into literal monsters!!!

Miyazaki famously was not present to accept an award for "Spirited Away" because of George W's war policies!!!

FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!!

He also expressly stated his hatred for AI art.

Satire is truly dead, buried, dug up, smacked around a bit, shot in the face for good measure, buried, dug up again, had a shit taken on it, and buried upside-down.

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 56 points 2 months ago

It's not satire. It's overt propaganda. Problem is, it's lazy propaganda! Do you think people who truly love Ghibli would be swayed by this? Who does this appeal to? It's nonsense.

That said: let them keep doing it. Allow them to continue shootinh themselves in the foot.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago

I think OP meant irony. The irony that we're at a point where zionist/imperialist militaries are communicating on a nazi-owned platform using stolen AI art styles about war when the style was developed by someone vehemently against war/imperialism in their creations. The irony is palpable on each and every level.

[-] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

Precisely, thank you

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Sorry! I replied like 2 minutes after waking up. Understood you completely. My bad!

[-] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

No worries!

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Who does this appeal to?

The cheap seats. The know nothing public.

[-] fullsquare@awful.systems 6 points 2 months ago

Who does this appeal to? It's nonsense.

the fake nerds of silicon valley of course

[-] 7toed@midwest.social 5 points 2 months ago

Well, Nazis do have a tendency of appropriating and mangling countless cultures to fill the void left from their humanity, I would say that extends to those who openly admit ethnic cleansing

[-] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 151 points 2 months ago

😂 all these Nazis thinking they'd be the protagonists in a Ghibli story.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 54 points 2 months ago

I'm not even that invested in Ghibli and that's radicalizing me

[-] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 2 months ago

Is Gravestone of the Fireflies right? I couldn't finish it. Cried a river...

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 months ago

Grave of the fireflies. I watch it whenever I need a good cry.

[-] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

Damn I should take one day to watch it. But right now I'm not having a great time to stomach it.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

That's fair. It hurts more when you know the writer's story. You have to go in expecting to be destroyed.

May I offer Ponyo as the alternative (movie I watch whenever I want to feel better?)

[-] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

My daughters watch Ponyo every other weekend 🤣. My confort series is Futurama.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

My comfort series is Futurama!!!! When am I hanging out at your house lol

[-] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

I'd invite you but I'm probably very far away. I'm Uruguayan you see.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Love from Canada!

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah no. Don't watch it until you're sure you can stomach it, it WILL fuck you up

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 months ago

Yes. Directed by Takahata who co founded Ghibli and is also very based iirc

[-] capuccino@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

Am I the only one with this problem? The images that the AI generates it doesn't resemble to Ghibli to me. They look like a hard try to "look like ghibli", but it falls in its own style.

[-] andybytes@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago

You're saying it has no soul in that is true.

[-] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

They look like one kind of Ghibli character.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Of fucking course the IDF jumps on the Ghibli AI bandwagon. They can't allow themselves to be neutral when they have the opportunity to be on the wrong side of something

[-] wabafee@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

😬

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

The creator of the style hates the use of AI images that mimic it's likeness and almost every bad person out there is "jumping on the bandwagon" for social media points. From the Trump admin, the IDF, and even Sam Altman and Elon Musk.

The tone deafness is...deafening. I have never been so convinced that people at large who consume this brainrot have no self-awareness, introspection, or critical thought.

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Even in their infinite insanity, the IDF version looks like a recap of them attacking the USS Liberty.

[-] andybytes@programming.dev 7 points 2 months ago

A fascist is a thief. Fascist are the useful idiots of empire. Capitalism is a pyramid scheme filled with thieves. They will poison your fields and send you to the factory and feed you canned foods filled with poison. This is the world of the lowest common denominator and the longer you are on this ride, the sicker you will start to feel. It's like the first few hours of Disneyland is pretty nice, but once you realize you're not allowed to leave Disneyland and you have no money and you're stuck there for an eternity, well then it becomes your hell. It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all.

[-] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Better a pig than a fascist

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

Does the movie include mass indiscriminate bombing of a civilian area and using human sheilds in ground operations?

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 6 points 2 months ago

First one, yes. Second one, no.

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

I cant blame them, if they depicted all of the GDFs crimes it would be rated R.

[-] qbus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

The movie opens with the fire bombing of Tokyo and ends with children starving to death so no human Shields

[-] mishielda1234@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org -1 points 2 months ago

What the fuck. Is ghibli?

[-] qbus@lemmy.world -2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Grave of the fireflies is a very interesting ~~propaganda~~ morality piece they made

[-] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Its an adaptation of a autobiography written by a Japanese man who survived the war as a child. What happened in the movie essentially happened to the main character. I say "essentially" because what actually happened to him and his sister is much worse than what happened in the movie.

Remember, no matter what atrocities the country commits, there are innocent bistanders on all sides. Quoting the incredible TV show MASH

War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse. [sic] There are no innocent bystanders in Hell, but war is chock full of them – little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.
