      I mean Eva Braun was a photographer so not sure why her sketches would have been good? But I guess she was trying to shoehorn hitler being a bad artist but just didn’t know how to tie it in?

      Call be old-fashioned but I prefer my jokes to be funny because they’re clever not because “haha hitler couldn’t draw amirite”

        I was thinking it was just nepotism. Definitely thought it was a funny tweet in the context

        The implications are that hitler drew up the sketches. You know… The whole failed artist thing causing him to join the field of genocide tyrant instead.

          we couldn’t agree on an illustrator. He wanted Eva Braun, but the sample sketches he showed me were shit.

          If he wanted Eva Braun to be the illustrator why would he show JK his own sketches and not hers? Why even mention Eva at that point?

          Idk but imma head out as I don’t have the energy to dissect a poorly written attempt at a joke by a known nazi apologist…

    I’m not on X, but to me it seems like she’s responding to obvious AI slop with sarcasm. Or am I missing the point here somehow?

      Also just to note - that “trans” account posting AI slop is actually a terf masquerading as a trans person to “own the libs”

      I’m also not on X, and I see the sarcasm, but if her tweet is actually real then I’m afraid I’m missing her point: …so you say you would hypothetically agree on collaborating for Mein Kampf For Children if the illustrator was of your liking??? Wtf

        The joke there was that Hitler was rejected from art school before turning to a life of war crimes.
        I hate the person, but that part was pretty funny.

      Well, she did previously recommend and endorse “political activists” (transphobes) who then turned out to be huge nazis, white supremacists, holocaust deniers, etc.

        This looks like sarcasm

        People have made jokes about hitler in the past. Why would this be connected with a nazi salute by a popular person and not just continuing the joke?

        There are already enough reasons to hate her

          her tweet was made a day after musk’s salute and consequent “funny” nazi puns - alongside posts denying the salute as sincere, therefore enabling nazi normalization

          the issue isn’t if JK is a swastika waving nazi - she most likely isn’t - the issue is she’s siding with fascists because they share the same hateful rhetoric and is willing to defend and normalize their behavior because she sees them as allies and the “woke leftists” as the enemy.

            Im dont know how twitter works and couldnt find the multiple times she denied that the salute was sincere, but the first one looked like a joke(because of the text)

            The timing could also just be a coincidence

            Edit: i missed the obvious text in the “multiple times” link. This still looks like a coincidence since there isnt anything in the post that would make someone believe it was supporting hitler other than the name and the date

              denied was implied by comparing musk’s salute to that of the pope waving his arm - but fair, she didn’t outright say it

              still the timing is most definitely not coincidental - but I can see how that can seem that way if you didn’t browse xitter when it happened

        Where can one find more context? Just looking at this tweet, it looks like she is straight up calling Elon a literal nazi.

      I’m pretty confident JK Rowling never met with a man who killed himself before she was born, but in this fucked up timeline who even knows.

        Somehow I half expect to find out space X through some crazy means accidentally stumbled into time and interdimensional travel. He will bring in another dimensions hitler, argue it’s a good guy… Trump will explain that this one’s ok because in his dimension none of the people he killed were called jews, so he’s ok, Hitler will meet with Nyetnyahu, the 2 will quickly become friends and the republicans will declare opposing alt-hitler as anti-semetic.
