Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.
I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.
Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

The fact that Himiko Toga was seen as a "normal, well adjusted, she's very friendly and nice" girl in middle school drives me nuts like- We have only ever seen her as her current self (having knowingly and purposefully tipped herself off the edge and is having an absolute blast) so the idea that before her graduation she was just another unremarkable girl you were classmates with in middle school is incredible to wrap my head around.
I feel like people don't give her enough credit. For multiple things really. I've said before that she's smarter than most of the fandom seems to portray her as being, but really when you consider her backstory and her quirk, of course she's good at pretending to be normal, and wearing a mask. She very intentionally is unapologetically herself whenever she's with the LOV, but outside of that? You could pass her on the street, maybe even exchange pleasantries at the bus stop, and probably never even clock that she's a serial murderer.
We act like her being unhinged means she's incapable "acting normal", but she says it better herself: unhinged is her normal, and just like it's fairly straightforward for most "normal" people to play charades and act out a part, its no different for Toga to pretend to be someone else as well. And I don't think that she needs to be using her quirk to put on an act, after all, she acted in a role completely at odds with her true self all throughout elementary and middle school, with no one the wiser.
