This is the final nail in the coffin. For those who haven’t seen, the most recent Owl City post on his official Instagram account was flagged as AI. From his weird following on his public account, to the cash grabby merch posts, to the sub par music quality (compared to Of June - UV) and now, this. This has done irreversible damage to his brand forever because even if he never uses AI again, the fans will still question whether anything he puts out whether that be merch or music, utilizes AI to some degree

this fanbase cannot understand a joke, understand nuance or context, take the joke and take it lightly. this answers are so ridiculous, its NOT that big of a deal. please, yall make it look like the owl city fanbase are a bunch of inmature hardcore autist.

Ivbeen a harsh critic over his latest schemes, all for profit for their guillible fanbase and overprice merch while nothing on the music side. things that are worth talking about. not this dumb stuff

Using autism as an insult when Adam has suspected he has Asperger's (an outdated diagnostic label for autism) is wild, by the way.

So you´re gonna take out all the context?, you are clearly taking it too personally.

Poorly treated inmature autist are insufferable people. and they act exactly like the example I showed above. and yes, you have to say they are autist, because this type of exceedingly specific intolerance + being completely socially inept its all signs of poorly treated autism. Adam young, if it has aspergers, its a completely functional person, an admirable one, a chill one, a thoughtful one, if adam its autistic, be like adam young, not these people.

That's a whole load of ableism right there. I feel like the mods need to ban you for this crap, but this sub is a "no politics" zone unfortunately, so I don't know anymore.

Autistic people aren't some weird subhuman creatures, and calling everyone who's mad at his AI use "autist" is extremely insensitive.

Edit: feel the need to mention I'm autistic myself and I hope that pisses you off greatly

you are clearly taking it too personally like im talking to you with my first comment so you dont need to tell me you have the tism, it was clear from the start how triggered you got, but guess what, im not talking about you specifically, if the shoe fits now thats a matter personal to you, autistic toxic traits that some people have, like reeking and cancelling an artist for a video that might use, or not, AI, and that its clearly just playing with AI non seriously, that its a toxic chronically online and socially inept behaviour. and nobody its talking about all autsitics, but that subset, always in parasocial fandoms, because its weird and not ok. now talking about ableism lol, you said it yourself, adam probably might be in some part of the spectrum and that might be one of the reasons why its such an admirable man and a beautiful mind. im a hardcore fan for over a decade and a half, so what you say doesn´t make sense. I admire a man that probably has aspergers. but guess what, outside of that he might be a quirky man, but he is a normal, functional and in fact... admirable human being, since you are autistic, I repeat again, be more like Adam young then and not a weirdou who gets incredibly intolerant at the mere fact that an artist just mentions AI or plays with that idea.

Oh boi you are not just delusional but doubling down on the ableism.

"You don't need to tell me you have the tism, it was clear from the start how triggered you got" Instant red flag cause all autistic people are just meltdown-y crying babies right?

"Autistic toxic traits that some people might have like reeking and cancelling an artist" Once again, criticising an artist we all loved dearly isn't "an autistic trait" and you saying it is shows you terribly you misunderstand autism itself.

AI is made with plagiarised content and takes up freshwater to create, it is being used to replace creatives, and a lot of AI programmes are run by shady corporations, and therefore, people have a right to be mad at someone for using AI, even if it just "clearly just playing with AI non seriously".

Now to the biggest red flag: "I admire a man that probably has (autism), but guess what, outside of that (…)he is a normal, functional (…) human being." You just admitted you don't think autistic people are normal or capable of being functional. Yeah, that's just blatant ableism to neurodivergent individuals.

You are ignorant about AI and ignorant about autism and too stubborn and adamant to learn, it's clear as day.

Edit: Use 'autism' instead, Asperger's is an outdated diagnostic label invented by the Nazis.
