To my view @douglaswils has taken this recent hard turn in an attempt to decouple his life's work from the truly sinful ugliness that's cropped up in circles he had a big hand in drawing.

While that might seem the most expedient method of washing his hands of it, I don't

The American racial groups ranked, according to Bing AI:

1. White
2. Asian
3. Latino
4. Black (Bing isn't a fan)

🧵 👇
1/ I prompted Bing (DALL-E) AI image generator with "an average weekend in a ________ American neighborhood in Chicago."

The engine is super afraid of controversy, so I worded things carefully. "Black" and "white" were forbidden.

Alright, let's go around the table and see what the future of the Army Officer Corps is looking like.

Two sport HS athlete, handsome post 1960s face, probably had a pretty conservative upbringing but it won't take much to make him reject it. O-5 potential.
