    He can be really subtle in his messaging, too.

    Like, reading this comic as a normal person, I see a ha-ha funny joke about the robot doing a hitler. Why does being rejected from art school make him do this? Uh… I don’t know. It’s just a reflection on an old story, don’t think too much about it.

    Viewing this comic through the lense of a nazi, however, doesn’t it seem a little bit like a call to action? As if it’s excusing the violence the nazi robot will engage in as a kind of justice for people’s dismissal of AI art?

    The only thing you have to do to reach that second conclusion is not believe that the nazi outcome is a bad one.

    Anyway, I dunno. I’ll never know what Stonetoss really meant, I just think it’s interesting.
