It’s a decent likeness, but somehow not quite creepy enough.
I wouldn’t pay money or travel to see it, but if I happened to walk by it and I was sure of not catching a charge, I’d probably be willing to stop and piss on it.
His weird body is the creepy part of this statue. It looks like his body is underwater and you’re viewing it from above the surface in the way that makes it look squashed.
Ah. I looked at the second picture in the article.
Torso is too short.
I’d still be willing to piss on it.
Edit: Looking at it again, I still think the creepiest part about it is it looks like Charlie Kirk.
It’s missing that neck…scratch.
Labeling fascist culture war ghouls “activists” may literally be correct but I refuse to consider them so. They are not activists as we colloquially consider them. They are agitators, stochastic terrorists and our media has been laundering their awful slop for far too long.
Have fun in hell Charlie you scumbag.
Charlie Kirk was an “activist” in the same way that Horst Wessel was an “activist” - which is to say that the regime picked him up as a mascot after he got ganked, so the regime could get some blood on their flag and say “look what they did to my boy 😭”.
The guardians out here doing their best to help a Kirk fan sell his shit
Gotta find something to pad between articles from JK Rowling about how Dumbledore would happily murder Trans people and some Reform UK slimeball insisting Ukraine refugees were stealing all the NHS money.
if it was a fountain someone would have bought it
Bro is cashing in a little too late on a man who’s been dead for almost a year. He should have taken a lesson from Erika Kirk on how quickly to get on the grift train.
Sorry Mr. Futanari, you missed out.
It looks like dogshit. And that’s before you even consider the fact that it looks like Charlie Kirk.
It’s got the Ronaldo statue vibes.
Really takes off from the headline…
Sergio Furnari, originally from Italy, had hoped the statue of the deceased far-right activist, which he intends to display in Times Square, would raise “millions” of dollars. Instead, he said he has been inundated by messages from people saying they intend to urinate on the sculpture.
To add injury to insult, Furnari recently broke his foot working on the statue, after tripping over a roll of tape in his studio.
“Is it cursed? Maybe. I don’t know,” he told the Guardian.
RIP Luis Jimenez, sculptor of “Blucifer”.
But it comes with a free frogurt!
Let’s make a freedom statue for a fascist because why not?
Should have made it a fountain with the hole coming out of the neck
I’m pretty sure that’s people’s plan…
Instead, he said he has been inundated by messages from people saying they intend to urinate on the sculpture.
If you get the right angle, the splashback could be pretty realistic…
… Damn, if I had $100k to spare (and a drill) I might genuinely add that fountain to my yard.
The artist spent $100k, they thought it would sell for millions.
oh I wasn’t gonna pay this wankstain for that godawful sculpt, I was just gonna make my own. Maybe I could 3D print a little desktop one…
Don’t give him ideas, somebody might actually buy the Charlie Kirk fountain.
Is this AI?
It’s slop, yes
I didn’t like the guy okay. But honestly at this point some of the shit the right has done to him seems really disrespectful.
Like way beyond a leftist saying “charlie kirk was a racist, misogynistic grifter”
Like what they do is well beyond discussing traits.
It’s almost like they taxidermy-ed him (or whatever the word is) to roll him around to sell cheap shit to people who never knew who he was until he died.
This statue. His wife’s behavior. The “pregnancy” . TPU
It’s all so deranged.
I don’t agree with his profession but let’s be a little honest. It was a grift. He likely didn’t believe half the shit he said. But that’s all he will ever be known for.
Kinda sad.
But also this “artist” sounds like a grifter themselves. Just thought they could do a cash grab.
"I wasn’t a fan of Charlie,” he said. “Like one thing that I couldn’t stand about him while he was alive [was] when he was talking about Palestine. [Kirk would say]: ‘Oh no, Palestine doesn’t exist.’ I thought: ‘Well, this guy must be out of his mind.’”
I think he was a harmful hatemongerer and I am glad he is dead.
But I agree about how off-putting it is for so many people to continue profiting off his death. They are scavengers milking a corpse for all they can. It’s not about respecting the person he was, it’s about shamelessly exploiting him for their own gain.
This artist just needs to get good at marketing.
If he made it into a guerilla piece in some park and then “someone” shot it in the neck, pouring red paint on it, and then he “complained” about it to the press
…then it would be worth a lot
Lol the right has basically forgotten about him already
@e8d79 creepy
Maybe take the commission, THEN do the work next time. What a dumb ass.
