Sorry I feel like you don't remember that before spider-verse every American animated movie looked like total garbage like Over the Hedge since nobody does 2D animation and 3D always looks like shit unless it's stylized like Spider-verse
I love this saying of "just follow the cop's instructions" because it reveals that the person saying it believes that Police are allowed to force you to play a game of Simon Says where you die if you lose.
@RaceplayShawty
I mean, cel shading has been shorthand for comics for a long-ass time look at Viewtiful Joe and Marvel vs Capcom 3, that's just how you make 3D models look comic book-y
@RaceplayShawty
Iirc aviation became like, the new "aristocratic" way to fight while all the poor conscripts died in the infantry in the trenches. Kinda like how cavalry used to be more upper class, in WW1 I think I remember hearing air combat became that, makes sense, Red Baron and all
How every ML argues:
1. Make claim
2. When claim is disputed, say Marx/Lenin said so
3. When that is disputed, say they never read Marx/Lenin
4. When they prove Marx/Lenin said the opposite, claim that they're treating Marxism as a religion/holy book
Hey everyone! I have made a gofundme to help raise money to help me move out of my abusive parents' house and into my girlfriends' house, please share this around and do whatever possible to help!!
@RaceplayShawty
I'm just saying, cel-shading has been used for years before Spider-Verse as shorthand for "making something look comic-booky" when you're claiming that them using that same technique is entirely owed to spider-verse

Honestly if we include pc in the conversation I think that Xbox genuinely has 0 games. Like at least Playstation has demons souls remake even though I don't like it. Halo has been on steam for a while now, what do3s Xbox have?
Ok, with pictures this time, does Russia want Trump or Sanders? It’s a little more complicated than that, but easily seen. Here’s our

Unironically this is why I love Capcom crossover fighting games, they don't care for the same rules that seem to determine characters in smash, where you need a main character to be in before any side characters. MvC3 had like 3 fantastic four villains and no members of the FF
Engaging with video games as art should entail more than knee-jerk racism against Japanese people through the "progressive" guise of sex-negative tvtropes/cinemasins-esque gotchas and actually analyzing themes instead of "this feels like my parents are walking in on a sex scene"
Gamers went like "pls take our medium seriously as art" and she went like "ok, I'll analyze them as art. hey what does the portrayal of women here say about the society that made these games?" And gamers freaked out
@PatriciaTaxxon
James does it as a joke, Doug genuinely started that way, as a part of the people who believe that it's a rational way to react to media.
These two types of objects function in the same way, occupy the same mind-position in both of these people, it's almost perfect the way this picture showcases this very concept almost on accident.
Gotta love how a supposedly omnipotent benevolent creator has to be subordinate to the state, his rules have to be tied to a certificate from the state.
Guys look at my new cool HOI4 mod ideology!!!
This will soon join the halls of ideological fame like Valkism, Totalism, National Surrealism, and Syndicalism!
What if this kid turned out to be a cool dude? Like we use his visage as an insult to people we don't like, but we don't know the person in the picture. Maybe he's really chill.
So... I sort of hate this meme?
Like, steam's admittedly terrible recommendation algorithms aside, queer erotic art is indeed queer art that deserves to be categorized with other queer art.

It only has if your idea of public consciousness is purely online. Irl in America I've only met maybe 3 christians who aren't biblical literalists, creationists, evolution-deniers, etc.
Just saw some Conservative say that Communism always fails because the LTV is outdated
To which I saw an ML say that it's not outdated because the USSR's economy was "run by the LTV"
@Azn_Phucboi
I mean if you watch the movie that's exactly what it is, the marketing is all caveman shit and in the movie itself thats like the first 20 minutes then it's a biblical comedy
Ever notice that it's only ever Islam that gets talked about like this? Criticize Christianity, or Scientology, and nobody gets to say "oh you're so christophobic sweetie educate urself", it's only ever Islam that gets these brain dead leftists identitarianism riled up
This mf thinks Islam is a cult😭😭😭😭 yes sweetie pie pookie bear it’s a cult you’re so woke you’re so smart you’re so intellectual you’re so islamphobic too but that’s okay because you’re so smart!!! Watch out yall we got an activist here!! OH OH!!!!!!!
AND THERE IT IS !!!

asks the senate to outlaw copying an artist's style!
( Adobe also developed a surveillance tool that can be used to determine if "copyright infringing" AI models were used )

Honestly it's getting worse. I've talked to anime fans who got into anime more recently than me and they're not willing to watch anime from the 80s or even 90s in some instances..
people only gaf about AI when it makes something bad looking. This is terrifying, we’re one step close to not being able to trust any video or picture ever again
"Marxist theory falls apart in the details because it says that the French revolution was just the Bourgeoisie fighting against Feudalism when actually several members of the bourgeoisie defended the ancien regime and bought titles and supported it" - some podcast I'm listening
@MinModulation
A friend once told me that in Tomino shows women are allowed to be anything, and sometimes that anything includes being hysterical hormonal weaklings.
For real though I feel like he's only seen as misogynist because he's putting in enough women that some of them seem bad
I love it when revolutions are lead by great men and their ideas. I'm sure that Marx would agree, after all, The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of great men with great ideas.
One of these men:
> Is universally hated and slandered by all in the "left"
> Oversaw a massive boom in economic growth and poverty reduction while in power
> Had a rival that would have been worse if in their place
> Is called a capitalist, revisionist, and/or fascist

This is so frequent with these red-painted anti-colonial national revolutions it's hilarious, reminds me of how Castro wasn't a "communist" until after his revolution alienated him from the west and he had to get aid from the USSR
@fragmentums
Makes sense right? Wouldn't people who love in space with regular low gravity be taller than people on earth? Not to mention the Earthians r probably malnourished
@UltimaShadowX
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom also just has complete randoms, why is Alex in that game? Why is that random visual novel girl in that game? Who cares? It's awesome. Same reason why Zero and Tron were in MvC3 and not any Megaman
Hbomberguy's distaste of capitalism is not self-evident seeing as how he just made a 4 hour long video defending the concept of intellectual property rights.
This videos basic thesis is ‘hbomb isn’t critical enough of capitalism’
You know. Hbomberguy. Famous pro capitalist,.. Hbomberguy… no stop laughing this is a serious video!
Fuck

, embrace more conspiracy theories.
Buttigieg isn't actually gay, he's a manufactured CIA candidate who has to pretend to be gay so that he gets liberal brownie points
JFK was assassinated by the government because he didn't go hard enough in the crisis
Wow! It's almost as if Transphobia comes from a place of Misandry when they call us men as an insult and not secretly 4D chess of being misogynist from the people who believe that women are inherently pure and men are inherently tainted/predatory/perverted/invaders
a fun little game you can play with these viral man-hating radfem posts is clicking on the profile and seeing how far down you get before you run into absolutely vicious transphobia
Sorry, this is a German W. "Science means science" sucks. Naturwissenschaft = Nature-Knowledge-ship is a much more evocative, easy to understand, and simply cooler name.

Ibn Khaldun yeah lmfao.
It's funny because the fascists who use this framework would hate him for being Muslim, and the libs who "should" hate the framework have to be all like "oh well its another culture we have to respect his ideas" etc.

My grandpa fucking hates that movie so much he says it's conservative propaganda because Forrest just does what he's told the whole movie and gets rewarded for it, Jenny rebels against norms and dies of aids for it

My favorite thing is how this whole structure was written by a medieval Islamic scholar that libs endlessly praise for being taught as a non-european philosopher
@MinModulation
Gen X is super hostile to anime, and has been making American cartoons for decades, every episode of South Park pr Fairly Oddparents that has a joke about anime it feels like it's coming from a place of insecurity.
This feels very high-horsey to post. Like yes, cishet men are also oppressed by the patriarchy, it is what compels men to act in ways associated with masculinity at their own detriment. 90s MRAs came up with the term "Toxic Masculinity" to describe this concept.
"You know patriarchy oppresses men too"
"Oh you mean like the violent oppression of queer men and trans men and gender nonconforming men?"
"Oh I mean I was mostly talking about how cishet men don't wash their ass but like those too ig"
@AltctuallyD0NG
What the fuck? Isn't the whole point of cleaning your room from his b.s. philosophical position to learn that you need to deal with your own mistakes? Doesn't having a maid do it completely miss the point "clean your room" is supposed to have?
@RaceplayShawty
The only time I was sure I passed was when I was at a comics/mtg store (they're really more MTG than anything these days) and a guy started explaining Warhammer to me after I said I knew what Warhammer was
I hate cinematic universe people so much because what the fuck do you mean "elaborating or setting it up" how are you supposed to "set up" that Obi-Wan knows a guy, what does that look like, in your head, to you? Why do you need every character to first be "hinted at"??
Really love how George Lucas randomly decided one day that Obi-Wan’s best friend in the galaxy should be a dinosaur that owns a 50s diner, then not elaborating on it or really setting it up at all.
