I was so hyped to see a new queer-friendly, witchy kind of trinket shop would be opening up in my little tourist town. Ever since the palm reader closed up shop, main street has been lacking that vibe.
Today, I was so disappointed to see photos from the inside of the shop and discover that a lot of the "art" in the shop is AI slop. There are so many "paintings" for sale that are that very specific and easy to recognize AI slop with a rainbow background and an animal.
I feel especially angry and betrayed because this shop owner has been hyping herself up as an ally to the local LGBTQ community. Our local LGBTQ community is FULL of artists who would probably have loved to sell their art in her shop, but she chose to fill it with slop instead.
