      if you made a shitty hand drawing, even in the old mspaint, the thing would be funnier.

      do you think wojack and rage comics were popular for their artistic craftsmanship? or because they seemed relatable as they were apparently made with little skill or effort?

        Those comics were much more difficult to draw than you imagine. Try it – it isn’t easy. Those memes had their own aesthetics. They weren’t just poorely drawn.

        if you made a shitty hand drawing, even in the old mspaint, the thing would be funnier.

        Bad picture is a bad picture. It might be intentionally bad because of some context, but you can’t make something funnier just by decreasing the quality of illustration.

        I don’t see how you can make OP’s message funnier by worse illustation.

      it’s been trained on art stolen from people who can draw orders of magnitude better than this

        Learning isn’t stealing. Humans also learn by looking at different works. By “stealing,” as you call it.

          there’s such a thing called “copyright”, and using countless pieces of art for free so that a couple of douchebags become gazillionnaires selling copyright infringement on said pieces of art certainly feels like theft

            Poor gazillionaires (sobbing). Can we donate them? I can send them a few kg of shit. Or some grass, now it is a season for the grass.
