"Mask off" comes from 1940s psychology and refers to a psychopath dropping their false personality and showing the world what they are. It never had anything to do with literal masks like KKK masks

I thought it was a robbery thing, where if you're mask off you're no longer letting anyone who can possibly identify you live.

Maybe I'm part of the problem, but if the creator isn't (or can't hire) a competent artist I'd rather just see lukewarm AI stuff.
Like, obviously automated plagiarism isn't the solution but there's probably a better option for everybody than taking the NO AI IMAGE PLEDGE.

I'm firmly on the "bad art over stolen art" but I won't dig in to much, except

I've been on the fence about buying Sentinels of the Multiverse since I've heard about it. I love the idea, and heard nothing but great stuff, but it looks like poo poo.

I don't really like the art either, but I think that if they had other artists and not just the Questionable Content artist I'd complain less. I'd still prefer it to AI generated images.

I wonder how much of this would have also been said about photography when it first came about.

  • produces images much quicker than existing methods? Check.
  • can be performed by someone with far less training than existing art creation? Check.
  • The above two items threaten existing economics of art creation? Check.
  • results are lovely when churned out by someone who doesn't know what they're doing as quickly as possible? Check.
  • results are lovely when produced by someone with no eye for balance, composition, and style? Check
  • Can produce a 1-to-1 copy of someone else's work (for at least certain mediums)? Check.

This isn't accurate to how photography as an artform, or to the history of photography developed :haw:.

it's a very complicated situation because while the pinkertons are historical villains, responsible for countless crimes against the workers of the us and they were slave catchers and they were the bad guys in red dead redemption 2 and they did the first air bombing in the united states against striking miners, wizards of the coast makes a game that i like

The Emperor's Greatest Success was not the Primarchs, or the Space Marines, or creating a 10000 year old Fascist Authoritarian Nightmare.



It was convincing the vast majority of people in our universe who know about 40K that he is right and his methods are the one and true way.

Real life fascists are drawn to 40k for the same reasons that they're into Star Wars. it's not that they don't understand that the empires (both of them) are the bad guys, it's a power fantasy. Both 40k and Star Wars make them cool because they're taken so seriously and get to enact the fantasies of fascism.

40k lost the "parody" of its settling a LONG time ago especially with the imperium and doubly especially with the Space Marines who are always cool even in failure even in death even in eternal servitude.

There's a great story about the superman radio show tanking klan membership by having them as cartoonish and embarrassing losers so maybe that's the energy needed to rid 40k of the nazi fans

IIRC that guy was a career officer involved in drone bombings. That said, the thread definitely did have multiple people saying that anyone who enlisted in the military was complicit in all its evils, so yeah, probably.

It's a circlejerk when I disagree with it but it's a lively debate when I agree with it :colbert:
