    I came into this thread to say ‘obviously just tear people a new one for sharing photorealistic whatever of actual living persons,’ but then I got stuck on the ‘whatever.’

    Is it illegal for me to paint a public figure, in the nude? There’s contexts where it can be political commentary. There’s contexts where it’s just smut. But do I not have the right to imagine damn near anything and put it to canvas?

    I guess we could still treat the push-button version of it differently.
