    Hitler was a mediocre painter who never had a chance. His perspective was strong, but he never developed the ability to capture the human form and he was profoundly inflexible. Many have pointed out his dismissal of abstraction, but in the interwar period many artists were returning to classicism (see Picasso’s neoclassical period from 1917-1925). What kept Hitler from achieving success in art was Hitler. He didn’t need any help being an arrogant little shit.

    Is there a particular reason they censored the word Hitler?

    Did they not want to anger modern day fascists that run whatever website that was originally posted on?

    Hitler isn’t a word that should ever be censored, what he did and who he was should never be watered down or brushed under the rug.

      TikTok censors stuff like this. So people self-censor, and it bleeds over onto other platforms.

      More likely just trying not to get cancelled by reactionaries for some dumb shit so they just censor anything that might make anyone uncomfy.

    A washed out photo of a man looking worried with the text over it: “Me reading H*tlèrś Wikipedia page after I went back in past and ruined his painting to get him rejected from art school so I don’t have to study his overrated and boring paintings in art class”

      certain sites reduce your ability to be seen in the algorithm if you swear and/or use ‘forbidden’ words – twitter does this [started doing this? it feels like a musk change, ironically] where if there’s a curse word, it’s automatically hidden under the ‘show more replies’ button and usually gets less engagement. it’s really sick and weird and puritanical.

      oddly, saying hitler doesn’t mean i support hitler.

        Yeah, considering most of the time that name is typed in a post, it’s not to applaud that person.

    No Hitler doesn’t necessarily mean the Nazis don’t rise to power or even prevent the Holocaust. While he is and was obviously central to everything about the Nazi Germany that came to exist, he wasn’t a singularity, Julius Streicher could probably have slid into Hitler’s role pretty easily had a few cards fallen differently.

    Edit: and just to be clear I’m still fine with going back and killing Hitler, we just might have to make more than one trip if we want to fully prevent the crimes of the Nazis

    Imma be honest. I’ve seen some of hitlers early works, and damn was he talented.

    So I step out of the timeline for just one afternoon in order to see the Nicolas Cage as Superman movie from Timeline 23133-BD

    And I find that we are having to repeat the transgender rights movement of the 40s, because apparently someone change the timeline so now the German sex researched Institute was burned down by fascists, preventing that from ever happening.

    I’d go back and fix your mistake, but now I can’t get more plutonium for my Tucker (which is now a thing called a Delorean for some reason) it used to be available in every corner drugstore. But thanks to the meddling you did to get out of art class, apparently America dropped something called the atomic bomb on some Island near Asia… Now everyone thinks radiation is scary…

    On that note, what the hell is anime and why does everyone keep talking about it?
