It's hard to believe, but this actually is not an AI-generated composite image of Ty Segal and Kurt Cobain. It's actually a picture of the one guy from the Australian indie rock duo, Royel Otis, who's always hiding his face, but is not so much hiding right now because a judge just rejected a legal request he had made to unmask a bunch of redditors who have been critiquing him on the internet over not just questionable lyrics, but allegedly, too, having had a sexual relationship with a minor.
And yes, I guess he was pursuing information around these redditors so he could think about suing them, which for sure, they're valid criticisms and conversations to have around the topic of a random anonymous people on the internet slandering and defaming others just because they can.
But it obviously becomes questionable when the allegations themselves that are being talked about are maybe credible. And either way, this guy's attempts at silencing these redditors only seems to be driving more attention the story itself, which was probably not his plan in the first place.
What do you think?
