Why does a mediocre comic about a talking aardvark which has amazing backgrounds which aren't even drawn by the creator make people seethe so much decades later? Like move onp people it's 2026.
>>
>>153416168
it's the same incel shit, dave would have made a killing nowadays
>>
younger generations hating the problematic shit the old guard ignored is just natural.
and it was always problematic and disgusting, that's why I never cared for cerebus, just like I don't care for other people to be more vocal than I am about it.
>>
>>153416168
Women are Wonderful effect have fucked-up alot of people's thinking, It's weird that SBP is going down the breadtuber path.

>>153416263
Cerebus is a really cool comic visually but as an actual story it's just kind of whatever even before the whole hating women thing like it's half serious half parody just kind of jank I rather read other books from the time like The Tick or Flaming Carrot because at least they didn't try to be more than what they were supposed to be.
>>
>>153416273
I mean he was always down to that direction because it's the audience that gives him money and follows him on his websites.

That YouTuber who made that video was old.
>>
>>153416168
Dave's insanity is contagious.
>>
>>153416168
I read the comic that second video was about instead of watching the video
The art was neat. But not much else.
>>
Because a good chunk of Cerebus is actually very good and Sim is extremely talented so it makes the turn it takes fascinating to discuss

It's also still historically notable for being completely self published and done by one guy and a background artist for 300 issues
>>
I will never praise anyone for creating something beautiful and problematic, at the end of the day it's just disappointing.
>>
>>153416445
>at least they didn't try to be more than what they were supposed to be
That's why I don't read them.
>>
>>153416567
Correct answer. If you ask actual cartoonists, especially ones who are old enough that they read the comic back before Sim went obviously nuts, they'll flatly admit that he's the biggest innovator in the medium since Eisner and arguably more important. Sim made a shit-ton of advancements in paneling, lettering, you name it; his mastery of the craft of cartooning is insane. The fact that he himself also is doesn't detract from that.
>>
>>153416957
>Crafting for cartooning was insane
>Looks kike most B&W comics with a wacky panel throw in here or there.
>>
>>153417138
There are absolutely god-tier panels in Cerebus that I haven't seen other B&W comics do or replicate.
>>
>>153416168
Strange brain guy said a few years ago that he wouldn't bother doing the second half of Cerebus because he didn't like it but it looks like he still ended up making two videos back to back

if you read the stories in the phonebooks (like 90% of readers) you'd never even get Dave's anti feminist stuff...that was all stuff he wrote int he letter pages in the individual issues.

Nah, Reads is full of it, and so are the last few arcs.

There's just a certain brand of nerd that hates any older cooler stuff that doesn't conform to their libtarded world view. You need to understand that these are fags who think silver age comics are offensive and shouldn't be taken seriously

I haven't read the series in awhile but I don't really remember that much stuff being overtly sexist. Even if it's Cerebus doing something bad (like raping Astoria) he isn't exactly portrayed in a good light.

Imagine coming into a Cerebus thread to announce that you've never read Cerebus.

I can promise you, adopting conservative politics did not make the final third of Cerebus into a good comic.
>>
>>153417736
Never said I read it. Just stating a fact that even libtarded for the time media is offensive to modern nerds. Like this for example >>153417592. Lovecraft matured past those views, but fags still obsess over his "racism"
>adopting conservative politics did not make the final third of Cerebus into a good comic
It also didn't retroactively make it a bad comic like fags want people to believe
>>
I don't know how Sim became the defacto misogynist comics creator because he dared to speak-up against gynocentrism, It's not like he's Kirkman and Slott who write the most insufferable women characters.

Cerebus was a good comic when the author had liberal views (feminism = good, secularism = good, gays = good). Cerebus became a bad comic when the author changed his mind.

This is the shit you're trying to defend while knowing nothing about it. Sit down and shut up, you're out of your element.

The actual reads in Reads are Viktor Davis (i.e. Dave Sim's self-insert) going on about how his ex-wife is a vicious parasitical bitch but actually no worse than other women, because they're parasites by nature and women read minds, guys.
>>
>>153417736
Sim didn't "adopt conservative politics", he became a full blown schizo. His persecutory delusions fixate on women and so you decided that makes him a conservative, but he's way too nutty for any simple categorization like that.

Strange Brain Parts is a good channel, he often leaves his personal ideologies at the door. But from time to time he pushes these more "mainstream topic" videos; I assume because his more niche ones don't get as many views. I mean he made like 4 videos on Ditko (I think) because it gets him a ton of views.
>>
>>153417990
This, even if Sim went far into the other direction and instead became a hardcore feminist instead, the issue lies in that Cerebus had become so much of a soapbox for his views that entire issues were just literal walls of text and essays espousing his views, and barely any images.

It may be artistic and provocative but absolutely going to turn off the average reader either way.

Yeah, french and manga at that time and prior were objectively better. Dave had wonky anatomy and perpsective, but white right-wingers overrate mediocrity whenever they see someone support their agenda. They overrate crap like Birth of a Nation or Triumph of the Will as being innovative despite people doing it better prior withoit being assholes.

>Strange brain guy said a few years ago that he wouldn't bother doing the second half of Cerebus because he didn't like it but it looks like he still ended up making two videos back to back
He says that it's because a bunch of his viewers requested it, and the Guys video did so much better than his other videos that he made another Cerebus video one soon after.

I'm not familiar with that one. Is that a typo for Cerberus or something?
>>
>>153418833
No, Birth of a Nation is actually a great example because even hardcore libs admit that it's extremely technically innovative and was one of the first films to understand how to make a narrative visceral and gripping via film. I had a black lecturer in college talk about watching it and being so immersed he practically shouted GO KLAN! in the chase sequence. This was sort of lost with the more hardcore wave of identity politics, but most liberals actually used to get that it's incumbent on you to understand the mechanisms of good propaganda if you want to defeat it. You can disagree with the content and still grasp how well made it is on a technical level.
>>
>>153417592
I love these people. Especially pastiche writers that you can tell hate him so goddamn much and despise that they rely on his work to be able to sell theirs. It's made even funnier by the fact that Lovecraft was an ardent and humble supporter of other authors and literally tried his hardest to help nobodies succeed because he just fucking loved reading and writing fiction so god damn much.

Because Cerebus is unique in schizophrenic art in that, on a technical level, it's executed with astonishing finesse and talent, and on a meta level is a fascinating trail of one man completely losing his mind. Modern readers struggle to follow Sim not just because of the extremeness of his views or the shamelessness with which he conveys them, but because they're not trained to grasp just how deep it goes. When Sim writes at length about women being black hole parasites upon men's vitality, he's not speaking metaphorically in a sort of redpill "women belong in the kitchen" way, but in a very literal "women are extradimensional tapeworms from the void that psychically consume the divine energy within men".

It's a one-of-a-kind read, but you need to approach it with a mindset that not everyone can achieve.

ironically, raping Astoria didn't trigger the feminicunts. It was his tangents
>>
>>153417982
Not really. He discusses, and analyzes to great length the general nature of women, but also how society indulges women to excess, and treats them like babies, instead of full grown humans. And he wasn't wrong. When you take any responsibility from women, and agree with "my body, my choice", then you get the hell that we are living today. There is a reason that society is in its downfall, and it's not going to get better, it's going to get much much worse. Alas, you will stubbornly clinch to the concept of "women can do no wrong", instead of maybe rethink it. But then again, I myself don't really have any problem with women. My main problem, and enemy are the jews - and in that regard, I would probably argue with Dave, instead of slandering him with some "tags" or "labels" in the mainstream media
>>
>>153418764
as opposed to "liberal" and "gay retard"? two can play this game, and I'm not a conservative. I'm just tired of the high horse that your kind considers themselves. You're also the reason there will never be a truce, but a constant flaming war. Are you a jew?

>>153431546
I'd be fine with it if women actually held themselves up to that standard but anytime i try to treat a woman like an adult capable of solving her own issues i'm met with hostility and at one point violence(workplace altercation).

Just figure it out. I actually think they're capable of doing better, they just prefer to slime through life with 0 effort.
>>
>>153433847
Shitting on Cerebus, which I think is what those videos are doing, is the new hotness of thirty years ago. It's pretty over. It's not like Cerebus attained sustained and widespread cultural relevance such that examining it is evergreen.

But also, feminism as a distinct movement is pretty much over, it was eaten by idpol and especially tranny rights agitation.
>>
>>153416273
He has a 'DO NOT MISGENDER' rule on his discord. Im guessing because of Grant Morrison. or something lol. Im not surprised at all. Once you hear a youtuber use a few nu words or someone talking about mildly 'problematic' things it's just a matter of time before they go full politisperging.

He doesnt at first, he praises the art and the story before that, and even then, when he shits on the story is to talk how it became a soapbox or newsletter about the author to talk about how awful his ex-wife is

Unlike tranny shit, feminism permeats every aspect of modern existence. Most people view it as normality and are blind to it as a result.
Feminism is the final boss of all idpol.

This desu. I'm not going to deviate more from OP's topic, but gynocentrism is so ingrained in Western society, you'd probably recoil, as did I, when looking at a culture which doesn't prioritize women.
