Fascist dudes are such losers
If you are unfamiliar with Amelia, the chances are you will soon encounter one viral meme or another inspired by her on Facebook or X
…no. that is not likely.
Ahhh yes, Facebook and X where the kids hangout these days… 10 years ago
What I’m reading is that fascists get no pussy whatsoever, so they have to AI generate one that looks under aged to thirst over.
Sounds about alt-right.
Sounds about alt-right.
He he he
Our view-point is so far off nobody we found under the age of 70 can relate to it, so we just made up a person! Now that thing has to do everything and anything we ask! They have no rights, only do what we say, and if they ever try to rebel we can just kill it off. Just like a slav… nevermind.
AI slop
Amelia wasn’t AI-generated, she was literally goverment-generated for a stupid game saying you should mind your own business instead of watching and sharing content online or you can be arrested (people are just using AI to create more art with the character, but the character was created by the government). In the game the content was anti-immigration stuff and Amelia the girl trying to get the main character to get involved, so some dumbass just gave them a waifu lol
The game however basically tells you have to choose between being a racist or accepting 1984-surveillance (which UK is already doing anyway). Really great government propaganda.It’s even more dumbass to show her as an alt, punk-goth girl when pretty much every representative of those subcultures is staunchly against alt-right BS. Especially the immigration paranoia.
Left: AI sucks. It kills the planet. It’s anti-art. Go fuck yourself.
Right: we found a great new way to brainwash teenagers and ensure we’ll stay in power for another hundred years.
It’s hard to be effective and have morals. We need to solve for this.
We found a great way to brainwash teenagers
By using a character from a very left leaning game and showing how correct she is.
How correct the fictional racist is?
That’s one hell of a shitty sentence.
The origins of the character are ironic, to say they least. An early iteration of Amelia began life in a counter-extremism video game funded by the UK Home Office and created to deter young people aged 13-18 from being attracted to far right extremism in Yorkshire.
Really funny to think that the taxpayer money were use to impeach critics by citizen of gouvernement policies only to backfire.
“What we’re seeing is the monetisation of hate,” said Matteo Bergamini, the founder and CEO of Shout Out UK, a political and media literacy training company that created the original game.
The game when it was online would report you for taking “wrong” decision. But thoses bootlicker think they were the right and just. Lmao. Reminder the uk put more ppl in prison for online post that russia and china combine
The game when it was online would report you for taking “wrong” decision
Are you sure? The article seems to say it would have told you that your actions in the game scenario would have resulted in reporting, but the wording seems ambiguous.
that was the first article that report on that game said. Anyway i find it already distopian enough tha a gouvernement try to shame you wause you dont agree with their immigration politics. I saw somewhere that the gouvernement had 10% popular opinion. Pretty sure it should have other priortity. Like rebuilding public trust
The game is from 2023. Not much to do with the current government. It was also an attempt to stop radicalisation, not shame people for having stupid views on immigration.
“Selecting the option to research the topic is also portrayed negatively.” The character can also attend a protest against “the changes that Britain has been through in the last few years and the erosion of British values”. Attending the protest nearly results in arrest East Yorkshire councils developed Pathways with Government support amid local “concerns” about immigration and tensions over migrant hotels.
yeah that look like a lot like gouvernement propaganda
Possibly propaganda, but a past government. The funder of that game, “Prevent”, was a scheme started under the ill-fated Cameron government and by 2023, I think that was the Sunak government.
Then again, why shouldn’t people who act as if they’re being radicalised in the game not expect their character to be nearly arrested in the game? It’s extremely twisted if someone from an immigrant nation like the UK starts protesting against immigration, it’s not going to end well and it’s probably better for the game to explain that reality than pretend those protests don’t have a downside.
Mais non mdrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr So the game where they make the anti migrant sentiment force tied with white nationalism was so migrant can leanr to not be anti immigration. Omg my brain gonna explose.
It’s extremely twisted if someone from an immigrant nation like the UK
More seriously how it s twisted ? Also how britain is an immigrant nation ? It s a 2000 year old country. Immigration wasnt even possible in scale 100 year ago because transportation wasnt good enough.
I used to have faith in humanity.
I’m surprised the AI has purple hair. Usually, Far-right are against things that are not in the “normal” (blonde, black or brunette).
The title though “far right social media star”. The world seems to be going on fire more and more.
You’ll find that everything the far right demonizes, it fetishizes too.
Grindr crashes in areas where major right wing events take place.
4Chan’s porn boards are full of trans women penetrating cis men threads and black man on white woman cuck porn
I was wondering a bit about this too, what about usual obsession with dangerous blue haired feminazi. Though maybe that’s more of a US thing.
Maybe it’s because of that too :

I heard it was a pro-surveillance game?
As I understand it, the character was reappropriated from an oh exploitable publicly funded game Pathways (play it) designed to inform students about part of a public counterterrorism program for voluntarily deradicalizing extremists without legal consequences for opting-out. The player plays a new college student, Charlie, who runs into scenarios. First scenario: on a sketchy social media website their new friends use, a video is shared, and the player is offered choices:
- download the video
- ask about the video
- tell a trusted adult
If the player chooses to download
Charlie downloaded the video and shared it with different people online.
Charlie felt relieved and happy that people were liking the video and also sharing it.
Deep down, Charlie wasn’t sure if this was the right thing to do, as some of the ideas in the video were extreme and violent.
It’s important to remember that downloading or streaming certain content can lead to a terrorist offence conviction.
Apparently, download implies more than that, the game bundles unnecessary actions together, & merely downloading/viewing content has legal risks. The other choices aren’t much better: an extremist tells Charlie people who care about their country will download & share the video or an adult explains extremism, so Charlie simply doesn’t download it. Charlie can’t just view the video to judge it: great message for self-reliance & developing the criticism to participate competently in democracy.
I’m guessing the other scenarios play out similarly. At some point, Charlie is courted by Amelia, a nationalist teenager with purple hair who Charlie can refer to the deradicalization program.
I can see why derision of this game took off & the alt-right embraced Amelia as their meme: trolling potential like that is irresistible to pass up.
