Destroyed in seconds.

This burn is far too much for the likes of Neosporin. This Atsuhiko needs a hospital.

Did that person draw that specific frame all by themselves? If no then it's still using others' copyrighted work + own input.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But isn't the reply is right?

What's the relation between using other people art and the user credentials? Should the AI art okay as long as the one published it already has good credentials?

Public education has gone down hill. Reading comprehension is at an all time low

sorry, meme recognition wasn't taught in here

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Meme recognition? It's just reading the fucking text that's right there, dork.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's no mention of Invincible in left side picture, how am I supposed to know that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, so now I get it, you're just trolling.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is indeed possible to not know what show the meme on the left is from...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's 100% possible, yeah, but that's not the point and that's not why I accused then of trolling.

It goes back to reading comprehension. This user is either incapable of seeing the context supplied, or being dense on purpose. All they had to do was see they're an animator who has a list of shows avaliable, and even if they don't know what that one show is is, the implication of the two images being supplied together is it IS their art. That's pretty straight forward context clues involved. This sub is "Don't you know who I am", which isn't even subtext, that's a direct message to the meaning of the material presented.

They however couldn't possibly grasp this very simple idea and instead took to arguing when it was pointed out.

This isn't about "good credentials", the person making the post was actually an animator for Invincible (where the image is from).

So it's the artist posting a meme with their own art from a series, someone accusing them of stealing the art (saying they are as bad as AI) while the artist was actually part of the team that made the series. What is there not to get?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Invincible (where the image is from).

Are we all expected to just know that?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not at all, but this is how this sub works. It usually goes:

  1. Person A posts something

  2. Person B tells them they stole it or have no clue about the topic

  3. Someone brings up that Person A is actually the owner of the thing, or a leading expert in the field (see the right side of the the meme in this case)

  4. (optional) Person B finds out they are dumb and apologize

And at no point does OP actually explain what the fuck is going on, just act smug when we don't immediately know what they're on about.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Context. Are we still doing that?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Evidently not, when you could just explain nothing and act smug.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Fair enough, but it was also a reference to Archer, a joke if you will.

On the OP. I went from top left, than down, then to the right. Saw the meme template (I didn't know what was it from), and read the replies. I saw the imdb page and thought "Oh, this meme must be from that show and he wrote it. Burn! Hah. That's funny."

And that was it. A fairly certain conclusion given the context.
