    If you are unfamiliar with Amelia, the chances are you will soon encounter one viral meme or another inspired by her on Facebook or X

    …no. that is not likely.

    What I’m reading is that fascists get no pussy whatsoever, so they have to AI generate one that looks under aged to thirst over.

    Sounds about alt-right.

      AI is pitched to replace jobs, but it is much better at manipulating public opinion. This is why the rich class wants to control it.

      Their oligarch overlords are currently adding billions to their fortunes by peddling it. So of course the right wingers will open wide and guzzle down all of the AI diarrhea when they are told to do so.

    Left: AI sucks. It kills the planet. It’s anti-art. Go fuck yourself.

    Right: we found a great new way to brainwash teenagers and ensure we’ll stay in power for another hundred years.

    It’s hard to be effective and have morals. We need to solve for this.

    Amelia wasn’t AI-generated, she was literally goverment-generated for a stupid game saying you should mind your own business instead of watching and sharing content online or you can be arrested (people are just using AI to create more art with the character, but the character was created by the government). In the game the content was anti-immigration stuff and Amelia the girl trying to get the main character to get involved, so some dumbass just gave them a waifu lol
    The game however basically tells you have to choose between being a racist or accepting 1984-surveillance (which UK is already doing anyway). Really great government propaganda.

      It’s even more dumbass to show her as an alt, punk-goth girl when pretty much every representative of those subcultures is staunchly against alt-right BS. Especially the immigration paranoia.

    I’m surprised the AI has purple hair. Usually, Far-right are against things that are not in the “normal” (blonde, black or brunette).

    The title though “far right social media star”. The world seems to be going on fire more and more.

      I was wondering a bit about this too, what about usual obsession with dangerous blue haired feminazi. Though maybe that’s more of a US thing.

      Maybe it’s because of that too :

      The origins of the character are ironic, to say they least. An early iteration of Amelia began life in a counter-extremism video game
