It’s been out nearly three years.  Time to let last generation die.

Thanks for sending me to the bottom of a Wikipedia rabbit hole, you monster

Also, you are clearly a guy. And possibly have never spoken to women about this but:

Copyrighted content is used all the time to train and inspire human artists, and yet nobody is concerned about art students using tracing paper and photographs to learn and copy the styles and techniques of famous artists of yore.

I was like “How pricey can they be?” and I was...not prepared.
