    Why do they think the photo was edited by AI as opposed to being edited by an ordinary human?

      Yeah, it’s shitty this happened, but I’m already noticing a lot of people are just incorrectly calling anything to do with a computer “AI”

    Of course it was “fan art”. It’s the same shit “fans” have been doing to minority characters in films and video games since forever.

      Whitewashing of culture is absorbing another culture by renaming shit, such as wanting local dishes but refusing to learn the language so all the food becomes a generalized term, like curry.

      What the “fan” did was absolutely pure racism; to remove Asian people and replace them with white.

    Nothing new here: Corporations have been doing this shit for decades. Dehumanizing is the name of the game if they think it’ll make them more money.

          “Shereen Wu says Michael Costello, a designer who has worked with Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and Celine Dion, posted a photo to his Instagram from a recent Los Angeles fashion show.”

          No, they didn’t.
