Accumulation of wealth at one pole is at the same time accumulation of misery, agony of toil, slavery, ignorance, brutality, mental degradation, at the opposite pole.

“In the name of the moon, let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution!” -Sailor Moon

She’s the Pretty Guardian who Fights for Love and for Justice. Of course she’ll work with Karl Marx.

Can someone explain the context here

Sailor Moon is trendy as a prompt term on this community.

A lot of people have been busily coming up with highly-incongruous prompts involving Sailor Moon and things that would not normally be juxtaposed with her. Generative AIs are particularly good at that sort of absurdist stuff.

Ok but like what’s the agenda of it? Is it simply devoid of content or is there an intelligble “point” that can be derived from it aha

Like what does Sailor Moon mean or represent to the person and audience that are relevant here?

I don’t think there is any agenda. Looks like Karl Marx and Sailor Moon are both popular figures among the Fediverse user, no need to look any further Now I want to generate a couple of Karl Marx image

Its definitely like nifty

I don’t think that there’s a deep meaning attached to the Sailor Moon image series.

I posted a picture of Sailor Moon and Princess Jasmine sharing a lesbian kiss a while back on the AI porn community. I wasn’t really aiming for deep social commentary or to make a philosophical statement.

Absurdism relies on the things that are put together being quite unexpected, and I think that there are a wide range of things that one does not expect to see paired with Sailor Moon.

At this point the repetition of using sailor moon is becoming less absurdist and more uninspired.
