It's not even just the bad they're not showing, they aren't showing anything outside of a suburban straight white guys point of view. Which does reflect a lot of 80s media but doesn't reflect the experience of a lot of people in the 80s

    I think that's an interesting take, especially because it's AI generated.

    I think it's fair for artists to depict their own experiences. If these were hand-crafted, I don't think I could vibe on that criticism. I think it'd be truly disingenuous for a white suburban straight man to be creating art of the experience of a rural black lesbian.

    But, AI isn't an artist. It has no experience.
