None of the above! These are actual posters from the US Department of Labor.
To be honest, the Soviet propaganda had a lot more style and sincerity. The modern American stuff just looks like AI slop.
Pharyngula
Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal
Oh, that’s definitely AI slop. There’s no way they’re paying an actual human artist to be creative.
Not gay porn, though: gay coming-of-age novel, perhaps. Porn would have two conventionally attractive young white men.
Both?
Looks straight out of the 1950s!
Most young people will laugh at it.
I have lived in Alberta for almost 7 decades and I have never seen a pumpjack as sorry looking as one in the second image. It looks like an “Orphan Well” – one where the owner went bankrupt and never properly abandoned the well. The only thing the backhoe would be doing is removing contaminated soil. More of an iron oxide age than a golden age.
I mean, they have definitely captured the “grim, uncooperative and vaguely confused” look that gay erotic material so very often uses. There are whole generations of gay men who think that the way to look alluring and sexy is to pretend that a bird shat in your chips and you’re not sure where the bin is to get rid of them.
I would say this is a direct rip off of Nazi youth propaganda. Specifically it appears to be based off of the work of Ludwig Hohlweins “Der Deutsch Student”.

Sounds good in German, too.
Bauen die Zukunft dein Vaterland!
Looks like all socialist propaganda art. And the US “Rosie the Riveter” “Buy War Bonds” posters.
The first one looks like a young Tom Cruise; the second, like a young Val Kilmer. Definitely AI-generated.
