2 weeks Ago By James Paul
Even as the nation mourns for the 28 tourists who were slaughtered by six terrorists in Baisaran Valley of Pahalgam in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, some handles on social media are spewing venom and others sharing insensitive tweets. Sample this by a state wing of a prominent party in power. The post entitled ‘Dharm Poocha, Jaati Nahi’ (asked religion, not caste) is appended with a Ghiblified version of a newly-married woman sitting shellshocked beside her martyred husband.
AI-generated image with the Studio Ghibli filter went viral just a while ago, which was appropriately slammed by artists around the world for plagiarism a legacy in the animation world. Every one and their nagging neighbours hopped on the trend, from several brands to celebrities and innocuous laymen. Feeding the OpenAI chatbot with a victim and a survivor's image to generate a cute anime illustration and peg it with a divisive narrative, while the families grieve their beloved ones, seems to be just another day in the life of a political IT cell.
Meanwhile, netizens slammed the insensitive portrayal of the lives lost in the terrorist attack. “ Shameless sanghis ,” jibed one. “ Sharm karo.
Jimmedari lene ke bajay Ghibli image bana rahe ho,” remarked another user. Yet another user confronted, “ Sharam bachi hai thodi? ” Netizens kept slamming the post, “ Sharam hai ki bech ke khaa gye ho?” One netizen commented, “The only political party that makes a cartoon out of a tragic, horrific incident of a young couple whose husband was killed by terrorists. Is there any parameters to define what would be TOO LOW for your ecosystem?” “ Itna gir jaoge tumlog ?” quipped another.
Speaking of ‘ caste ’ as mentioned in the tweet, a few users posted pics of a savarna peeing over a tribal person in MP. Others shared how a security personnel opened fire in the Indian Railways after asking men their religion. Sharam bachi hai thodi ??? — Aditi.
