    I like how they went from “all artists learn from prior artists, it’s how art evolves” to “we just copied their style directly”

    I read this piece yesterday and somehow I’m still itchy.

    This is so disrespectful and just out of touch. This guy took this specific source, trained its model with it and openly encouraged the world to go crazy with it.

    Even uses one as his pfp.

    Fuck you Sam.

    This certainly doesn’t help them in my eyes. If Sam openly embraces stealing a style from one of the most respected studios in the world, I have no need for anything he has to say or anything he’s a part of. He’s laid his compromised morals out there for everyone to see. I’m sure most clout chasers won’t care because they’re mostly devoid of morals too, but I care.
