  • Well for starters like I mentioned this was their debut, and it is a very early thrash metal band, so they weren’t very concerned with “quality” back then. Also it is coming through the guy’s cheek, you can see the section of cheek peeling away. I get what you are saying, they weren’t a perfect artist but how the hell could it be AI, especially from the early 80s? The fact we even have “AI” now is debatable.




  • The name of the album is “Fistful of Metal”. It is, assuming this would be possible, depicting someone punching (likely from the back of the neck upwards, explaining the angle) through the opening of the person’s mouth. The black liquid is red, may just be poor image quality, which is blood. The artist is by no means a perfect artist, I’ll give you that. As to why the metal is clean, it is just a silly cliche in old-school metal music to show gleaming steel/chrome etc.






















  • But the point is, you have freedom to choose whatever instance and thus whatever level of moderation you want. I’m not saying censorship is impossible here, that’s just not the argument. The thing is, you aren’t locked in to the control of a specific group/owner/company. If you don’t like the way things are being run, skip to somewhere else, or alternatively make your own instance.

    For people who value freedom the most, you can choose a platform with less moderation, and thereby accepting the risks that come with it. For people who value a more safe, stable and curated platform, choose one with more/stricter moderation.
