The White House has shared a Studio Ghibli-style illustration of a real-life convicted drug dealer in tears during her arrest by federal immigration agents.

The image was posted on a White House social media account hosted by X, formerly Twitter, along with photographs of the arrest.

Newsweek has contacted the White House and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for comment via email.

1. The low brow immaturity comes from the top.

There is no sympathy from me for a convicted drug dealer, but this is an inappropriate way for a government to act.

2. This isn't a news release or a PSA about drugs, it looks like agitprop messaging from an authoritarian regime.

3. I confess that I can't see the concern

Were I the accused… I think I would prefer the illustration to the actual photos of her

4. In a way, it's a meme. The other day, Sam Altman highlighted ChatGPT's latest rollout: generating images

purportedly done in the same style as Studio Ghibli. People started applying it to popular memes. And then someone doing White House social media applied it to an earlier propaganda post. Once again allying itself aesthetically with people who like to plunder, steal and hurt for the sake of a lulz.

5. Those bastards all masterbate to tears and anguish.

6. That stereotype satisfies sadists and racists.

This should kill ‘em:
