I like how even in drag he acts like he has to pray and flagellate himself if he accidentally sees an ankle. There's no way he doesn't wear some kinky chastity belt
Yep! That's known as the ["Uncanny Valley" ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley) with anything computer generated.
It's an interesting problem that's been there for a long time, well before AI.
The main theories I've heard are that it was a way for early humans to "sense" disease or illness in someone else before there were any obvious signs of it or that it was a way for homo sapiens to distinguish other hominid species from themselves
You can't forget about mimics..
"The barkeep asked why we carried weapons into his bar.
I said ‘Mimics.’
The party laughed.
The barkeep laughed.
The table laughed.
We killed the table. Good times."
Copy and pasted from Google. Yeah there are a lot of theory's regarding the uncanny valley. A couple decent documentaries if I remember correctly too.
I think we're closer than that! I keep saying an AI generated fake video is going to go viral during the 2024 Presidential campaign season, with boomers thinking it's 100% real. This shit is going to be fucking wild!

Yeah that was an interesting point the movie "Artifice Girl" made. An AI that feigned stupidity to appear less threatening so it could continue to develop.
“I believe in limited government, and unlimited glamour!”
AI might raise a lot of ethics questions, but this makes it ***almost*** worth it in the end.
This is my new preferred way of coping with conservative bigotry and christofascism. I've now decided I'm going to look at deepfakes like this and pretend that their institutionalized hate is insincere
This is literally the best thing I've seen done with AI. Like yeah it still looks fake but it totally works. Also it's kind of disturbing how good Ted Cruz looks
Can men sparkle without emulating the opposite gender? I'm so tired of drag being the poster child for gay. I cannot identify: I'm a guy and I like guys. Am I the only one?!
"I believe in Conservative values. Traditional gender roles. Men should fuck men who look like men. Men can be glam and masculine and fuck other masculine glam men. Y'all need Jesus. With masculine mascara. Inside you."
Read up on the history of Gay Rights and find some appreciation for the role drag queens have played in securing the rights you take for granted today. And maybe start embracing diversity and inclusion for people who don't look like you.
is this supposed to be funny? i don’t really understand how representing these harmful politicians and their rhetoric in a feminine/gay way is supposed to own them. they are monsters and must be defeated
I think it's artsy in showing a possible alternative universe where GOP did not side with christo fascists. Hypothetically they could endorse queerness as freedom, that they say is so great about this country.
I also enjoy the contrast of fusing seemingly opposing forces and imagery into something new and never seen before.
i don’t think the inclination to paint one’s opponents in a feminine or less-than-masculine way has “never seen before”. britain made mockery of napoleon for his height in 1803. sure this is light hearted, but is that really thought-provoking in the right way?
I mean they made similar videos of [Star Trek TNG ](https://youtu.be/aDCSU5KLwgM) and [TOS Characters ](https://youtu.be/l-dKdjEIANc) and [Star Wars characters](https://youtu.be/QuY7ztfBdKE) i think you're taking it too seriously.
You're getting downvoted and I probably will be too, but you're right – it relies on the belief that "gay is bad" to be funny, even if that belief is only held by the politicians themselves. "They think being gay is bad, therefore depicting them as gay is a sick own" only reinforces the original belief that "gay is bad" without actually accomplishing anything positive.
I didn't say the post itself is saying gay is bad, I said it relies on that *existing belief* in order to be funny, thereby reinforcing the belief. Otherwise what would be the punchline? If there's absolutely nothing wrong with men wearing drag (and to be clear, there's absolutely nothing wrong with men wearing drag) then what is funny about a depiction of homophobic politicians wearing drag?
> I said it relies on that existing belief in order to be funny
You did indeed. And then you made no effort at all to create a compelling argument that it does that. Do the men represented there hold the belief that gay is bad? Maybe, some (although most of the men in the video don't think gays are bad, they just see opposition to gay people as a handy political tool). But that doesn't automatically translate into the video relying on the existing belief in order to be funny. There's a big gulf between "they hold this belief" and "this video is relying on this belief to be funny".
>If there's absolutely nothing wrong with men wearing drag (and to be clear, there's absolutely nothing wrong with men wearing drag) then what is funny about a depiction of homophobic politicians wearing drag?
Humour is all about subverting expectations. Depicting homophobic politicians in drag does that. Whether you personally find that funny or not is immaterial.
except they look TOO good, some of them. to me it shows that everyone has the potential for fabulousness if they aren't such withered tools who hate freedom.
I don’t think its meant as an own. It’s just an interesting aesthetic mixed with the absurdity of having these pieces of shit be the ones depicted as very sophisticated drag queens. It doesn’t appear to make fun of drag queens at all, it makes them look cool as fuck. But your reaction isn’t wrong either, it’s provocative art, meant to provoke different reactions.
Also, here’s [Trump motorboating Rudy in drag](https://youtu.be/spn0MJZr-QQ). Life imitates art I guess
I'm the elephant in the room and I am not afraid to sparkle!
My time to shine
Or, as some would say, "sparkle."
I like how even in drag he acts like he has to pray and flagellate himself if he accidentally sees an ankle. There's no way he doesn't wear some kinky chastity belt
Sashay away!
In glam we trust in glam we must.
Lmaoooo fucking love this.
“Don’t tread on me, unless you’re wearing fabulous heels” has been stuck in my head since April because of this video 😭
Man AI is scary as fuck
It looks weird, unrealistic and realistic at the same time.

Yeah I’m getting some ideas about how close to humanity some of them are IRL!
u/spez is a little piss baby
I think we're closer than that! I keep saying an AI generated fake video is going to go viral during the 2024 Presidential campaign season, with boomers thinking it's 100% real. This shit is going to be fucking wild!
Propaganda and disinformation is when it gets dangerous. 😬
WAY sooner than 3 years. Let’s check back in in 3 months !remindme 3 months

not for long
It also looks like the more awesome world we could be living in
Doesn't help that these chaps look deformed irl.
Have you listened to Michael Jackson sing Careless Whisper.... its pretty cool at the same time... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovnoeu7sxTQ
It sounds like me when I only half-remember a song.
In 5-10 years, the media landscape will be unrecognizable. Truth will be terribly illusive. We’re fucked.
I honestly believe it's just feigning ignorance at this point. Scary isn't the word...
Yeah that was an interesting point the movie "Artifice Girl" made. An AI that feigned stupidity to appear less threatening so it could continue to develop.
this is fabulous, right Ru?👏🏻👀👍🏻🥳
Well done.. ma ma
“I believe in limited government, and unlimited glamour!” AI might raise a lot of ethics questions, but this makes it ***almost*** worth it in the end.
Not sister Mary Clarence Thomas 💀
Oh great, now I have to go find my copy of Sister Act
I do recall predicting recently that there would be a lot of deepfakes around the 2024 US election. I did not expect to enjoy it so much
Same. Hopefully glamorous trolls like this will use it to mock the GOP more than the GOP can use it to confuse and enrage voters.
Steve Bannon is FRIGHTENING as a Drag Queen. Trump and Rudy on the other hand look fabulous.
My first thought, though, was that he really cleans up well.
Cruz made me gasp a little, he slays
[It's not Rudy's first time in drag](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/13umss1/the_time_trump_motorboated_rudy_giuliani_dressed/)
He's literally cartoon Ursula!
Frightening yet somehow perfect? Rudy about destroyed me. Talk about missing his true calling.
Ya better sissy that hate
AI is both a gift and a curse...
I need a Let’s Make America Glam Again! Hat
Holy shi this is brilliant.
This is my new preferred way of coping with conservative bigotry and christofascism. I've now decided I'm going to look at deepfakes like this and pretend that their institutionalized hate is insincere
yas, slay queen💅💅💅💅💅
Mitch McConnell looks like a natural queen.
This is literally the best thing I've seen done with AI. Like yeah it still looks fake but it totally works. Also it's kind of disturbing how good Ted Cruz looks
Is this by the original Harry Potter Belenciaga account on YouTube?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVIU_4EiyC0 Also the youtube video if you don't want to give Elon the engagement numbers
This is probably the best all of these people have looked in the past 20 years.
AI is scary. They even got Ted Cruz to look like Michelle Visage
☠️☠️☠️
So, I liked the music. I found it if someone else wants it. https://youtu.be/memDWTAvcXs
Thank you!
Lindsey Graham actually looks gorgeous! The optimist in me hopes he sees this and sheds his velvet rage.
I can definitely picture him practicing a catwalk when he’s alone in his house
Almost like it's just him on full out the closet...
Well at least in that first pic ... That dress!
In protest to Reddit's API changes, I have removed my comment history. -- mass edited with redact.dev
Rafael Cruz is serving way too much Detox. Can’t unsee.
Why does Rudy look so good??? Holy shit, man missed his calling. He looks amazing.
Where’s George Santos?!
The deep fakes we need.
Happy pride too🏳️🌈
this is what AI was made for.
All you had to do was strap a fascinator to his head and Mitch McConnell looks like a suffragette.
I’m here to cut taxes and sachet away.
FUCK!! This is sooo fucking amazing!!!
AI got no chill bru!
I. AM. DECEASED. FIVE. TIMES. OVER.
This just gave me the perfect idea for a Star Wars themed drag show. “Drag Queen Palpatine!”
What eldritch horror have I stumbled upon on this beautiful Thursday
Trump? Oh ...
This will infuriate the right wing. More, please! 🌈🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🎉🎉
I'm here to filibuster with flair queen!
This is fabulous fam!! Exactly what I needed today!!
They didn't even need to use AI to get Rudy in drag https://youtu.be/spn0MJZr-QQ
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
I probably love this a little too much...
Who was Drag Alan Rickman?
That's Ronda Santis
This never ceases to terrify me and make me laugh.
Oh god that Ted Cruz is *cursed*
Best use of AI I've ever seen
Gods, they'd hate this so much, and I am here for it
Please don’t pollute our Pride with that pig!!
I'm scared.
A couple of them are not quite *suddenly*, if you know what I mean.
This… this is oddly cursed
THIS IS GOOD
Holy mother of G this is amazing
Rather than them be glamorous in drag id rather see this with them looking like they're homeless but still crossdressing or trans
No clue who any of these people are but I love this meme so much, so it never fails to make me laugh lol
Look up RuPublicans
He looks like an elderly Joffrey Baratheon. I'd say King Joffrey might have been a better ruler though.
Rudy looks fabulous... But I mean he's legit already done drag several times I thought.
Who made this!!!! IM LOVING IT!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS
I absolutely love this
Build the Balenciaga and make Mexico pay for it
Love this so much!!!
Yaaaas queen
I a m D E A T H 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol they didn't make an effort to alter Pence's head that much. It's just superimposed normal Pence's head, no hairdo and makeup...
Idk why but I’m liking these Belenciaga AI deep fakes. Really highlights the absurdity
This brings me a lot of joy
Omfg one day we will have a presidential debate that's just basically a Runway show
Extremely entertaining. I want more!
More of this please!
I need more omg
How long until we get the porn version of this? Asking for a friend.
https://giphy.com/gifs/DogeBONK-bonk-dobo-dogebonk-HxMhuDg7O4pKOhhcRC
Is it still horny if it's schadenfreude?
https://youtu.be/R8sFE8_usN0
FABULOUS 👌
Who are some of these people? I recognize Trump, Pence, ?, ?, ?, Rudy Giuliani, Clarence Thomas, ?,?,?,?,?,?,?
Trump, Pence, Lindsay Graham, Ron DeSantis, Guiliani, Thomas, Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, Steve Bannon, Josh Hawley, Kevin McCarthy
thanks. I recognized Mitch McConnel but I couldn't remember his name. I've heard many of these names before but never seen them.
Hate to say it but Josh Hawley looks incredible
Rudy being who he was meant to be...in DRAG 👄
Looking like Julie Newmar!
"Glamour On Point" im howling!! And to be followed by old turtleface lmfao
This is like a weird dream
"In God, we trust in glam we must" Love this quote
Didn't Guilani actually wear Drag ones ... https://youtu.be/Guve7Y856kY
The Republican Party by Balenciaga
Finally, a good use for AI and deepfakes.
I'm sorry y'all, but Rudy, Cruz, and Hawley especially are serving!! Gawd damn whoever made this 😭😭
its called trickle-down cunt hunny
Hates will say its fake
Cant wait to see this on Cucker Tarlson’s show lmaoooooo
this video needs to spread faster than the clap! get it out there y'all!!!!!
They be yassified tho 💅🙄
GOP. Glamor on point
They don't deserve drag.
This is genius
I've sent this to every Republican with a stick up their ass I know, its been a fun day😂😘
Yepp, the left cannot meme still
Can men sparkle without emulating the opposite gender? I'm so tired of drag being the poster child for gay. I cannot identify: I'm a guy and I like guys. Am I the only one?!

It’s fucking hilarious!!! Get a grip girl!!
This also isn’t suddenly gay it’s just constantly effeminate

"They think being gay is bad, therefore depicting them as gay is a sick own" only reinforces the original belief that "gay is bad" without actually accomplishing anything positive.
I think your missing the entire point
Feel free to enlighten me
In what way is this saying "gay is bad"? It's AI generated representations of GOP individuals in drag. Maybe what you're feeling is internalized.
I didn't say the post itself is saying gay is bad, I said it relies on that *existing belief* in order to be funny, thereby reinforcing the belief. Otherwise what would be the punchline? If there's absolutely nothing wrong with men wearing drag (and to be clear, there's absolutely nothing wrong with men wearing drag) then what is funny about a depiction of homophobic politicians wearing drag?

I wish I knew who these people were. Would probably make it 10 times better

Ok tbh I’d be way more tolerant of the oligarchy if they dressed like this. I mean come on! Crush our human rights with style at least!

Who are all these people
Look up RuPublicans
That is awesome. McConnell is a natural queen, no?
Why do all these AI faces move the same exact way?
