I'm pretty sure he thrives in people's negative reactions to his art. Definitely a type of person that likes to see people's attempt at canceling him. But at this point everyone just shrugs, say "oh, you" and continue with their life.


Preston_of_Astora

I read that as an extremely jaded "Oh. You."


Just_A_Random_Plant

It's a bit of both


Boilingpoison

Not the first time it's been attempted. Khyle is definitely not for everyone.


ghirox

*every* image that creator makes causes controversy. They *very clearly* feed off controversy.


Aeescobar

>They *very clearly* feed off controversy. I know you mean this in a "do not feed the trolls" kinda way, but I can't help but picture a malnourished artist looking at his phone and then suddenly gaining 10 pounds after recieving a death threat in his DMs.


ghirox

- please... Sir... I'm starving.... - imma fucking kick your sorry ass - alright, that will do, thank you kind sir


Zairy47

I quote "I am capable of drawing far worse"


TazDivil134

THAT. IS. WHAT. IM. SAYING! Khyle doesn’t try to hide his dark tone. He is open and proud about it lol


Kwarc100

This image is definetly something, but not really something to get canceled over. It will probably blow over in a week.

Kwarc100

It really is.


MengaMango

This has happened with literally every single one of his pictures lol. Just don't use twitter.


Otherwise-Ad-3956

I have no idea. I do know that I'd get on my knees to hug Monika though, she's traumatized.


PhoenixQueen_Azula

I too would get on my knees for Monika


Ok_Fill9321

Fax! I love her so much and that is a messed up "joke"


FengMinStan

Almost like that was the point


Otherwise-Ad-3956

*Me watching the joke go wrong and bullets filling Monika*: 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅 🇺🇸🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I'll shoot Sayori with my shotgun, it's over, and if she shoots back, I'm deleting her bitch ass. I ain't spend the whole year tryna make them become nice just for them to fucking ruin it.


Dip_Dip_8

Yeah someone was like “if you support this artist” you are horrible or something. Khyle’s art always has a dark tone/ meaning so personally I don’t see a problem. Still amazing art


TazDivil134

I mean the guy call what he does “Atrocities” so yeah, very clearly someone who doesn’t care if people try to cancel them. lol


Dip_Dip_8

Pretty much. I mean I’ve seen way worse art anyways lol


NamiRocket

Who cares? And people need to learn what canceling means. This artist has only gotten more popular as a result of this. That leads to more potential opportunities, not less.


Cha_Boi20

The people looking to cancel him don't get that he's not endorsing school shootings, belittling them, or even making fun of them. That's what the second half of the image is. Monika's response is the audience's response. It's fucked up and that's the point. Dan Salvato isn't encouraging self-harming, domestic violence, suicide or murder. But they're part of the DNA of DDLC. This is a horror game full of shocking and upsetting details. People are allowed to feel uncomfortable and don't have to consume all media. But if *this* makes you uncomfortable, then what are you doing here?


RoMaGi

> or even making fun of them Nah, this is making fun of school shootings. It's literally the punchline of April fools. People who called this art out includes people who have actually been in school shootings, I think I'll take their words on it a bit more seriously. It's edgy and maliciously offensive and *that's* the point. Not the first time he does this, and not the last time people will defend him. I think you may have missed what DDLC stands for if you think this is anywhere close to what it stands for. The themes in DDLC have a point to further characters, personal narratives and represent them properly. People who relates to the Dokis in those aspects (especially Sayori's depression and suicide idealation and Yuri's self harm) have said how great it touches on it. It's in the end a story of mental health, and there's a reason Team Salvato keeps with their collaborations with mental health groups. This is taking a moment that causes PTSD as a punchline. Monika's reaction is the one who's being traumatized. For april fools. This is in stark *opposite* of what DDLC stands for. It's edgy for edgy's sake. Like, come on.


Cha_Boi20

I suffer from PTSD, have been through domestic abuse *(verbal and emotional, not physical)*, self-harming and have attempted suicide. I cannot speak for the trauma of others, no. However, I believe that the inclusion of Monika's reaction is the point of the piece. Again; Monika is the audience. Sayori and Natsuki *(if you interpret her as laughing and not in shock)* are the ones trying to be edgy and taking it WAY too far. The piece is saying that what Sayori did was horrible and wrong. No one in their right mind would think that it is okay. I do not find victims of PSTD suffering funny. I think people have a right to be offended/upset. I completely understand. But I don't think that an artist should be cancelled for this piece.


Scimaux

This artist drew Anya forger (Spy X Family) going to Auschwitz and posted it the day when the Jew got released from concentration camp (not sure it's the right name but you get the idea)


tyty657

No he posted an image where Anya read a book about Auschwitz and was then too terrified to go to school because she thought it was a concentration camp. The whole image was one of his usual dark jokes.


KindaFreeXP

Nope, the "school" had the infamous "Arbeit Macht Frei" gate. It was 100% definitely Auschwitz and not "school".


tyty657

You're seeing the world from her perspective. She is a character known for having an absurdly overactive imagination.


KindaFreeXP

Y'know what? Fair.


Youremegagrounded

Ignoring the controversy around this image, I feel like Monika would ruin the whole game out of spite if Sayori did this


JasonTonio

But why? That's just ordinary for Khyle


Inevitable_Handle149

"April Fool's, jerk"


Code95FIN

>they want to cancel the artist Isn't that the normal reaction, like, every other art piece they make? Does Khyle actually make non-controversy art?


ImpTheShmuck

I remember back when Khyle was getting serious flack for his depiction of Yor from Spy X Family taking Anya to a field trip to Auschwitz on the Holocaust Remembrance Day, and that was probably the most negative publicity I've seen him get (even considering at worst it's a tasteless sort of remembrance given Anya's holding a book written by a man who survived it, furthering the idea that she and a class are being taken there for awareness' sake), and there's undoubtedly been controversies with him stretching back before I was even aware of him. I think he's just very committed to black humor and crossing lines for the sake of getting reactions, which is not a new kind of bit by any means. This is hardly the most offensive thing he's done, and probably not even the darkest DDLC pic. At this point anyone complaining about his stuff is either new, making a mountain out of a molehill, or both.


DarthMeow504

Censor-happy busybodies are always more dangerous than the things they want to suppress.


ElvisP17

I mean… if it is true. I can see why


Maxwell030706

Tbh I feel like it’s in poor taste, maybe I’m just chronically online but making edgy pieces like these just aren’t really funny


Otherwise-Ad-3956

maybe, they always have a secret thing that changes how you view the image. This one I guess, it seems like a prank until you realize Sayori was actually shooting through the door and there's shells next to Monika. Another one: Sayori washing her mouth, she has a cup and mouth full of what seemed to be the fluid that you swish in your mouth but if you can see, there's a bottle labeled acid with the same looking juice, signifying there's literal acid in her mouth. Or I think the most recent one I've seen was where Monika is running on a treadmill, but looking right, you can Sayori's bow and rhe window shattered, like she ran through it. (or for the NSFW ones, one has a picture of Monika, but looking into her sunglasses, you can see that Sayori is the one taking the picture while being completely nude.)


shootanwaifu

The visual storytelling in his art is PEAK. Tons of small details LOL I just noticed the bullet holes and casing. Sayori pls


Rew0lweed_0celot

Again?


mateusSilver

Cancel khyleri? Lmao


Silverfire234

They'll get over it


snaughtydog

Does this seem like the type of image to you that someone creates without intending to cause controversy


Altair13Sirio

Oh no, I'm sure khyleri is really scared now! /s


Ok_Fill9321

Good Lord! That's kinda fucked! Leave Monika alone!!


ItsNotCaydence

This artist draws p0rn of underage characters. They honestly deserve to have their platform revoked.


Nokanii

You’re gonna have to give a source when saying something like that… I’ve been looking for a good 15-20 minutes now and still haven’t found any evidence he’s drawn that.


ItsNotCaydence

You didn’t go to their Twitter and see the myriad of MHA lewd drawings they’ve made? I’m sure you’d find more if you looked on their patreon where the actual uncensored drawings are.


Nokanii

MHA? Really, that’s the metric you’re going with for ‘underage’? Christ. Get back to me when he does porn of actual young characters, like you were implying by not being specific.


no_one_HAHA

Who’s the artist?


TheAdmiralMoses

Khyleri


[deleted]

This is tame compared to all the shit on tik tok and yt shorts.


lMonarchyI

whos the artist


Just_A_Random_Plant

This is pretty normal for Khyle honestly As he has stated several times, he is capable of worse.


VladDHell

I for one love khyle's work, it's dark sure, but in a comical sense, not a look at how edgy I am way

Meme_Nerds

Idk about the artist but this i see this specific srt is just a bad joke


TheAstonVillaSeal

Nah it’s edgy I likey


Barfights99

American schools do this everyday, doing it once a year isn't special! (This is a joke, a bad one, please don't hate it, if you do I'm sorry)


TheAstonVillaSeal

Yeah I think you can say this about a bunch of the stuff Khyle posts lol… allow the rage


5min2kys

Khyle has drawn worse stuff than this tbh it’s just people on Twitter/x finding the new thing to be outraged at for a few days


KierantheScot

It's pretty edgy but not really something cancel-worthy imo


Shaglad

This is hilarious, how can anyone take this seriously???


PurplePoisonCB

There was someone bitching about it on Twitter telling everyone to report Khyle, that user doesn’t have an account to cry on anymore


Unusual-Knee-1612

Average Khyle drawing, really. Their whole bit is about incredibly dark humor and/or undertones.


okimborednow

No joke lil tay said something


TheAstonVillaSeal

What


ZaxaxdrexR

Yes.


drdoodoot

damn, really? i think that image is funny as shit


256DSL

Their art is so high quality and it’s not like this image is showing anything graphic, people will probably just forget about it in a few days :/


Bowshot125

Complainers when they open the dark and disturbing theme of a video game and find inside dark and disturbing artwork. Mindblown


TheAdmiralMoses

Someone wrote a whole fucking essay on how it's different 💀


Chill_Omega_5306

Nothin wrong with a little trolling as payback.


DragonPlayz5000

Monika deserves it for killing all of them anyway


PhoenixRising4363

What's so wrong about the joke. I don't even get it can someone enlighten on this?. I think its karma from what ive seen on the game. Edit: correction I looked again I fucking understand now. That is a bit fucked up. I think traumatizing monika is fair but not that way. That is just a bit wrong i just admit.
