Oh wow I SUPER hate this. In addition to the AI slop angle, which is intrinsically repellant, this “Paul” guy’s insistence that no actual humans are harmed by his “absurdist art” rings pretty hollow when it sounds like many of his videos revolve around especially lurid sex crimes committed by gay and transgender predators.
Quoting @josephcox:
Every true crime weirdo (myself among them) ought to listen to #BTB’s two-parter on Julius Streicher and his Nazi propaganda machine—especially how “true crime” played an important role in spreading Streicher’s extremely hateful, dangerous antisemitism:

I’ll go to the metaphorical mat to defend an interest in true crime and I consume plenty of that kind of Content™️ myself, but it is VITAL for those of us who engage with this genre to retain our skepticism and to exercise some goshdarn discretion and judgment in what we read/watch/listen to and share.
