It was a 1918 and a whole lot of monarchies were risking the same fate. The Civil War went on for four years after the Romanovs were shot as the whites advanced.

They were killed by the reds, and the threat they posed as royals was the reasoning behind their execution. Acknowledging the historical context to their deaths is hardly defending them, no more than acknowledging that Archduke Ferdinand got assassinated doesn’t make you a Serbian nationalist.

You can make remarks on whether it was a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ thing, but placing value judgements like it is an endorsement of any given politics is kind of this new mentality that is just abusive to history.

Especially when the user reposting only ever responds with something to the effect of “I’m just reposting the reddit thread, don’t ask me about what I posted.”

That isn’t really what he means though. Miyazaki knew this was AI generated and knows what it means. They explain the machine which they sought to create art like humans do ‘learned’ how to move and that ‘it doesn’t feel pain’ and called it ‘dancing’. Then they say it is creepy and could be used for a zombie game.

Miyazaki then states ‘whoever creates this stuff has no idea what pain is’.

That is the criticism he appears to be levelling. The demonstration of such horror without an understanding pain robs it of human connection.
