When people claim for example that pre-colonial societies were progressive utopia (e.g. the idealisation of Brehon Ireland) they unintentionally imply a pro-colonial attitude.

Came across my first AI "cartoonist and comic creator" on here. I wouldn't mind but cartooning is an artform where drawing skills don't NEED to be perfect, cartoons can be stick figures and the joke still works. Anyone can make cartoons. Really don't understand why people want to skip the fun part.
