Isn't art about interpretation though? I interpret it more like pirates meeting with local black natives in a fantastical homo-erotic setting. I didn't get a slave vibe here. I wasn't even taking reality into account. These images don't exactly feel historical. Hahaha.
The captor-captive angle is just where your mind went. But that doesn't make it offensive by definition.
Also... Oversized? What?
At best maybe 1 or 2 images have the black guy being bigger. The rest are all same size as the white men. You're reaching a bit
Are you a white man? I can see how you’d think of it as reaching when you don’t have to consider what this would feel like. It’s a romanticized viewing of what is an atrocious history. Men who looked like the white ones in these renderings, did heinous things to those who look like the African ones depicted therein. African men were sodomized, assaulted, and worse! So, given the attractions some of the colonialist enslavers had for their captives, this is particularly disgusting representation. For white men it’s easy to look upon those times as a bygone era and lean into the romanticism evoked. Yet the history isn’t romantic. Whether it’s AI generated or not, it’s insensitive. I’m sure some parameters were provided to generate it.
