Part 10/16:
Responses from critics claim these memes promote fatphobia, but Brett dismisses these protests as overreach and argues that such memes reflect a broader societal discomfort with laughing at ourselves. The critique points out that memes of this nature expose the superficiality of modern offense culture, and that Sabrina Carpenter herself would likely be unbothered by these depictions, given their parody-like nature.
The conversation also touches on the environmental and moral implications of using AI to create such images, with Brett cynically suggesting that objecting to AI’s environmental footprint is hypocritical when it’s used to produce meme content.
