I don't think this comic warranted death threats.
>>153536854>You are not unique for receiving death threats
I take objection with acquiring new opinions being stealing, but otherwise, yeah, the world is cold and cruel and bla bla bla let's keep trying to make a difference and bring smiles on peoples' faces. Who even cares what happens after they're dead?
>>153536867>I take objection with acquiring new opinions being stealingIf you aren't stealing, then you haven't made any effort acquiring it.
>>153536854the death treats don't help, but I do feel like their is something uniquely evil about this mindset.
>>153536952the artist is trans
>>153536952Its the end state on OD'in on humility and going into self loathing.
>erm, your opinions are wrong>why?>they just are okay
>>153536952Some day I will be mature enough not to be amused by this kind of thingToday is not that day
Prove you are special and unique.
>>153538272Why?
>>153538296I command thee
>>153538305More like I cum man >Shelol
>>153536854>>153536952Yeah it doesn't warrant death threads of course, but it is a pretty edgy comic.I feel like if the intention was to 'wake people up', it could've been done more tactfully.>>153538321kek'd
>>153536952>death treatsmmmmmmm... fatally delicious... *drools*
>>153538260It sounds like the name of a State Fair stand.
>>153536854Death threats are the biggest exaggeration on the internet.
>>153536854sucking at something is the first step to being sort of good at something
>>153538560See, I get that, but when does the sucking part actually begin to end?
>>153536854the artist is a buffalo bill looking tranny, he's the first person to give himself death threats every morning LMAO
>>153538597'Until it doesn't' is the only answer to that
Eh, the current internet is full of people that will become rabid at any hill, you could write "kicking people in the balls hurts them" and someone called gonnad_destroyer will threaten to kill you for spreading missinformation
>>153536952People like to use casual nihilism to convenience themselves (no meaning, no values = no pressure on me to be anything in particular) but they can't handle when nihilism is actually taken to its natural conclusions. They promote nihilism in the moment, then drown themselves in distractions and comforts to hide from the inevitable, looming dread it entails. This kind of stuff feels evil because this philosophy has no brakes and can be used to justify literally anything while invalidating any attempt at creating useful values. The artist is trying to be a snug little shit by deflating people's self-importance, but the math he's just assumes to get there in a cheap, cathartic way it's way also justified monstrosity.>you aren't special because there's other, similar people >but also aren't important because you'll cease to exist when you die>if they'll be gone for infinity longer than they were ever here and value is only found in being special, a person has no value>if someone has no value there's no reason not to exterminate him>if there's no reason not to exterminate anyone, there's no reason not to exterminate everyoneThese people are never prepared for the ripple effects of their own haphazard statements and will sperg out with cope once you connect the dots for them.
>>153536854This nigga trooned out I don't care about her opinion
>>153536854>everything you know was stolen>it's wrong>so you should protest and make a difference with your incorrect beliefsEh?>>153536867>I take objection with acquiring new opinions being stealing>>153536952>something uniquely evil about this mindset.It reads like original sin except from an atheist's perspective, an atheist who desperately wants to be a priest telling others to repent
>>153540953>an atheist who desperately wants to be a priest telling others to repentThat's most of them
>>153536854Probably not, but they aren't special in receiving death threats. Suck it up.
>>153540953It really just a religion without God at a certain point, isn't it?>>153540812>calls him a troon>but still respects his pronouns???
it's always white people who whine about how hard life is.
>>153536854I mean...
>>1535423550/10
>>153536854
>>153542297I can still disrespect trans people and call them the right pronouns they prefer
>>153536854Counterpoint:
>>153536854I feel like this can only hurt you if you are narcissistic.Yes someone out there has better than me, and I will die and be forgotten, but I'm doing what makes me happy and being paid for it, wanting more is to have a hollow soul that can never be filled. You were never meant to be special or remembered. You were suppose to be happy.
>>153543543>You were never meant to be special or remembered.I beg to differ
>>153543652It just depends on whether you care about your name being attached to your work
>you are not special and your life has no significance>but its wrong to tell someone to end said insignificant life
>>153536854I think it did because I'm getting the feeling this is coming from a place of ((atheism)) and ((White demoralization))
>>153543770And there it is >>153536961
>>153543449You could or you could not support blasphemy.
>>153543805>blasphemyTell me more words for imaginary things Timmy
>>153536854Are you counting "kys" as a death threat because if you are go find a safe space
>>153543844If God is imaginary so is Mankind.
>>153543543Weird cope but ok
>>153536854The writer is some guy who goes by Steve Pikelny who claims to be an artist and engineer and he hired hausofdecline to illustrate it. I looked a little bit into this Steve guy and he just stinks of edgy ironic Twitter contrarian. All of his work gives off the vibe of a performance piece done by someone who dresses up his attention whoring in irony to deflect. It's all stuff like "ooOooOo I'm using crypto/nfts/AI but doing it ironically so it's okay!"
>>153544182No noI use AI ironically, he's a different type of worthless cunt
This is honestly a grounded and healthy way to look at reality. Stop being a narcissist and realize your place in the universe is to be apart of a bigger whole. Even if you're religious, you should be able to recognize the value in humility.
Thats odd, I would think its too generalized to generate death threats. Its not about anyone in particular and isnt really stating a political or religious opinion or anything
>>153538888That's arguably more demoralising than the comic itself.
That's not nihilism, to the people who are saying it is. That comic is making no comment on the fundamental value of things. In fact, it's implying that 'making a difference' or 'bringing a smile to someone's face' is valuable.Nihilism is the philosophy there is no innate truth or value to anything. Historical nihilists have typically put forward the opinion that this also means that only what you choose to be valuable is. Rather than that you should lie down and die or commit sociopathic action.Comparatively, this comic is just presenting depressing truths.
>>153545056When you realize that the purpose of life is to simply be alive and that we live in a world far larger and greater than we are, then the comic stops being depressing but that might not be a conversation a lot of people on this board are ready to have. Think of it this way, if there was no universe beyond our atmosphere, and if the entire world were truly on our shoulders, I think that would kind of suck
>>153536854Imagine writing something like this and then displaying your mental illness to the world openly.
>>153536854Every time that I see a piece of media that spreads the message of "you are not special, your life is worthless", the lyrics of the opening of Mob Psycho sounds in my head:"If everyone is not specialYou can be what you want to beEven if you’re burdened by happiness and sadness…Your life is your own, OK?it’s OK to not be specialEveryone will surely find their own answer"Sorry for the /a posting. To compensate, is there any /co media where the author also has this vision of "you're not special" and even "life is meaningless", BUT instead of wallowing in self-pity and bitterness (like the OP comic), encourages doing something worthwhile?
>>153536854what a based comic
>>153536854>be edgy at people>wait, why are they being edgy back at me? Help! Help!!lollmao even
>>153545378>To compensate, is there any /co media where the author also has this vision of "you're not special" and even "life is meaningless", BUT instead of wallowing in self-pity and bitterness (like the OP comic), encourages doing something worthwhile?A lot of parody plots of It's a Wonderful Life have a similar message. I recall there was an episode of Fairly Odd Parents where Timmy is shown how much better everyone's lives are without him around but by the end he realizes he has to do things not for some reward but simply because it's the right thing to do.
>>153536854We are all special. That means no one is special.
>>153545715>you're not special>I'm going to kill youYeah, tit for tat…
>>153545260He thought it didn't apply to him.
>>153548747And now he knows better
>>153536941
The best part about all of it is, it can all be true and you can still be more successful than any of them because you were born in the West
>>153536854This comic makes me feel good. The matrix fights relentlessly against common sense to make you think you're special so you spend your money and attention. It's impossible to not have at least some variation of that noise in the back of your head. This comic reminds you of what it was like to just be normal and real
>>153540953>>so you should protest and make a difference with your incorrect beliefsNo, that wasn't the point. The point was that you didn't care enough to take action, you just stated the opinion to be virtue signal.
>'death threats'>look inside>niggas just saying "kys" (not a death threat)
>>153545378the core message of every single mythic allegory super hero comic is the noble struggle against entropy.
>>153536854true but at the same time its written in the same kind of bitchy "im smarter than you" tone as this shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VASywEuqFd8
>>153538385>I feel like if the intention was to 'wake people up', it could've been done more tactfully.Fuck your tact, you simpering, pathetic twat. Fuck you, fuck your family, and fuck the shoes you walked in with (because let's face it, you couldn't afford a horse). People are half-animal, half-machines who aren't capable of anything more than maximizing their own egos, and they need to be beaten over the head with a bat until they either shape up or die.
>>153543862So death threats are people claiming they are going to kill you and not advocating someone take their own life? Interesting.
>>153550128NTA but yes? I always found twitter/tumblr conflating the two to be bizarre. Do you have some other definition of the word threat? If someone says "you should fix your tie," are they offering to fix your tie for you?
>>153543697Yes. Is that really a difficult concept for you to grasp?
>>153547039*brain short-circuits*
>>153547039Dashiel Robert Parr
>>153551864?
You are not special enough to not get death threats.
>>153550128A threat is a promise of externally-administered harm, punishment, consequence, etc. Anonymously telling someone to kill themselves carries no such promise implied or otherwise.So either you're being disingenuous, attempting to conflate separate things, illiterate, or allow your emotions to think for you.
>>153553554You are not special if you receive death threats.Anyone can do it.
>>153555591Many of them get more death threats than you.
>>153540037People get all this out of a comic that just puts simple, unquestionable truths in a sequence?I guess true art exists after all.
