A Potemkin is a Potemkin, regardless of how well it deceives
I don’t care what people say, the most important historical event in my lifetime was the discovery and release of the lost Steely Dan tape containing The Second Arrangement
A Potemkin is a Potemkin, regardless of how well it deceives
If it was made with care then I’d expect some thought to be put into it. If it were like the Simpsons or a number of other cartoons for example, wherein a finger is intentionally omitted as an artistic choice, then that would justify a lack of accuracy. The finger count wasn’t even something that I brought up, and I didn’t even look into it in this case until someone else erroneously thought that my gripe was a lack of realism in the message. My gripe is a lack of human in the message, especially when someone wants there to be an imitation of one.
A medium posing as human craft is apathy for the presentation and therein exploitation of the audience. It’s like those spam letters I get sometimes that are made to look handwritten with a supposedly real human’s signature but are just factory-made and stamped on with a mechanized print pad and all they want is to solicit something from me via deception.
isn’t 4 fingered slop anymore
Slop gets dropped
Slop gets dropped. If there’s not a human behind the content, then I’m not going to consume or value it and I will do what I can to disadvantage it.
You’re not going to convince of a message by referring me to a clear piece of propaganda as a source. If one were to do what this user did and simply type out a message instead of ensconcing it in artificiality then I’d listen.
You’re the one that brought up the number of fingers, underscoring how little examination you even gave to that which you attempt to justify. Don’t attempt to deceive others by framing that as my position.
