Current events context: With the nearing of Grok having access to Twitter’s images for AI generation, many artists are not only jumping ship from Twitter- but adding watermarks as well.

It's quite a talk now, and worse it's some artist are clueless of not realizing that you can turn it off anyway and instead defacing their artworks.
Nowadays it's always that waterwark being slapped in the character fanart thus ruining it when posting on pubblic. If it wasn't for the AI crap, none of this would happened at all.
Additionally there has also been a second major migration away from Twitter to Bluesky following the election. Part of a second wave following the first wave of migrations due to the TOS changes. This was at least partially due to liberal leaning groups migrating to Bluesky, particularly as several big names have left Twitter for Bluesky. It also sounds like some news outlets may have also left Twitter, though not necessarily going to Bluesky, but their departure from Twitter is helping diminish reasons for some users to stay.
I see it's time for the right-wing lunatics, who contribute nothing but shitpost comments, to rise up.
Fuck off outta the comment section and help out the site, please. Add artist entries. Upload some art. Fix a wiki.
Just because you contribute doesn't make your freedom to argue about politics greater than that same freedom of other users, whether they contribute or not.

Should put an asterisks there. A brand new account joining in a political discourse with some hot takes to rile up people shouldn't be held equally to other users, since most of those accounts are purely used for trolling purposes (not the case here, but there are past cases). More so if they're reviving a comment thread that has already died down.

Well that's obviously not the same as talking about a normal user who spends their time, partially or totally, engaging with political topics. Do we really need to qualify everything with obvious exceptions? Obviously day 1 troll accounts shouldn't be put on the same level as a normal user, that applies to anyone making an account just to be a pain in the ass, not just political discussions.
My point is that someone doesn't get to act like they aren't doing the exact same thing as the people they're criticizing just because they contribute and those people don't. And they don't get to act like they're "justified" doing those things just because they contribute.
According to the commentary, the artist drew this after seeing something similar done with the female characters of Dungeon Meshi, with all of the girls here (all of the commanders + Übermensch) having their hairstyle the same as Miho.
The one who looks the most off to me, surprisingly, is Maho. The other's hairstyles are so different from their norm (minus Katyusha, but she pretty much looks the same), that it just falls under the mental category of alternate hairstyle, but Maho's hairstyle was already pretty similar to Miho's, that the tiny change (the inward curled sidelocks in front of the mid-length sidelocks) completely throws me off.
personally Marie looks the most off to me here. I almost didn't recognize her without her curls. You could tell me that that's a completely different character from the manga about Count High and I'd believe you, since I'm so unfamiliar with that series

It's probably the lack of drill hair and the fact that she's one of the few characters who doesn't normally have bangs. Kay retained her hair intakes and messy-ish hair, so Marie could have had longer parted bangs (exposing her forehead) with sidelocks that had slight drills to them.
Context: The Korean community gave Alice the nickname "Pink Sausage" because in Korea there's a brand of fish cake which is known by the same nickname and looks very similar to Alice's outfit.
To add to the artist's explanation, apparently "Sorry Curry" was created to commemorate that the surname "Yamaguchi" was ranked first in a list of surnames that are the same as prefectural capitals, and that it's "Sorry Curry" as a way to say "I'm sorry only Yamaguchi-san and people from the Yamaguchi prefecture can buy this" (Source).
I have no words, this must be one of the most confusing publicity stunts I've ever heard of.
