Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

The fact that we are losing the vital film ecosystem of "classically trained British actors doing an American's idea of Shakespeare in the goofiest sci-fi gear you've ever seen" due to mid budget stuff getting rarer is a tragedy

"You can be a girl if you want to" is useless if you don't know what wanting to be a girl looks like.
