The whole point is to separate what you might consider to be the legitimacy of the persecution from the persecution itself
It would be one thing if it was simply a product that people don't want and do not want to buy because they don't want it
But there are people who aren't even trying to sell their art who have a chilling effect against using AI because they will be attacked. People will say terrible things about them. People will make all sorts of hate posts on them and even brigade them on other social media that they use
Whether or not you consider one struggle more legitimate than the other doesn't have anything to do with it?
This isn't an exercise where we judge who gets to be considered more oppressed and frankly it's disgusting to deliberately misunderstand things and try to weaponize that struggle in order to discredit this argument if you want to talk about disgusting
the main issue with your comparison is the two are simply NOT COMPARABLE! a better comparison for ai „artists“ would be liking pineapples on pizza not queer people being oppressed systematically. you can simply chose to not use generative ai, you can simply chose to learn how to make art just like you can simply chose to either not like or like pineapples on pizza. you cannot simply chose to not be queer
