    Lets just for a moment put the AI portion of this story aside. Let’s just look at this as a politician releasing photos, even if forged, of promoting violence against fictional holiday mascots that literally exist for the sole purpose of making kids happy.

    That is what he’s done here today. Regardless of the AI element, I still find that a weird way to project your insecurities. You have to beat up a fictional character because you’re afraid anyone real would come after you.

    I’m sure there are bigger losers out there…but none jump immediately to mind.

      And then get mad at the pushback and call everyone: overly sensitive, intolerant, clowns and snowflakes. It’s just nothing but ass-faced dipshittery all the way down.

      It’s really weird. The type of thing a 5 year old would think of and find funny. He said he came up with these with his kids, and I could believe that. But why didn’t his adult brain think that maybe this is something silly to keep to the family, rather than post online?
