I get that if you can imagine something, it exists, and also there is porn of it.

What disappoints me is how aligned the whole community is with its worst exponents. That someone went “Heh heh, I’m gonna spend hours of my day and hundreds/thousands of dollars in compute just to make Miyazaki sad.” and then influencers in the AI art space saw this happen and went “Hell yeah let’s go” and promoted the shit out of it making it one of the few finetunes to actually get used by normies in the mainstream, and then leaders in this field like the Qwen team went “Yeah sure let’s ride the wave” and made a Studio Ghibli style image their first example.

I get that there was no way to physically stop a Studio Ghibli LoRA from existing. I still think the community’s gleeful reaction to it has been gross.

Whatever. "Studio Ghibli style" is so loose of a definition to begin with. You can't own a "style" anyway. Tough cookies.

People are downvoting you but it's true. Ghibli is just the highest profile studio that creates work in that general style. Arguably most of the highest quality examples of that style are their work. However they're far from the only practitioners.
