I get it, you have a bone to pick with CCFR and I certainly don't think they are close to perfect, but this is a bizarre and pedantic line of attack in my view.

People react more negatively to AI generated advertisements than real ones and Canadians are overwhelmingly uncomfortable with the use of generative AI in a political context.

It doesn't really matter if you or I care about AI pictures being used, the public cares, and a political advocacy organization that doesn't take into account public perceptions is a shitty political advocacy organization.

Also I don't think you know what "pedantic" means.

Its 2026, the government is trying to confiscate our property and the r/Canadaguns hivemind is blowing a gasket over an AI generated image used on Twitter.

Pedantic: giving too much attention to formal rules or small details.

I like where you didn't even try to dispute my point about the CCFR being a shitty political advocacy organization.

The fact that the government is trying to confiscate our property is precisely why I want the CCFR to do a better job.

Keep up. This is exactly the point, their failures in advocacy have little to do with using AI generated images but here we are, 200 replies in.

People seem more pissed at this than their little grandfathering trial balloon and that is pretty whack.

Next time we'll be sure to run any criticism of the CCFR by you first, so you can determine what's legitimate or not

I understand that it may be hard to read prior posts while actively raging about... checks notes... and AI image on twitter. Deep breaths my friend, it will be okay.

Construing all criticism as "raging" is usually something people grow out of by the time they graduate high school, hope this helps!
