It do be like that
Oh yeah this guy is like m->nu star warsHAHAHA WHAT A BITCH
>>153760544I would take a TARDIS to get away from nonwhites and raging homosexuals, unironically.
>>153760544nothing like retreating to good ol' fozzie bear after a long hard day of battling drumpf
>>153760544I want to dismantle BB-8 with a hammer and he shouldve picked pearl or amethyst to put in the pic instead of garnet cuz shes the worst of the three main crystal gems
I don't really buy into that sort of thing. Media should engage with reality, not tune it out. I mean, I'm all in favour of escapism but even escapism needs to acknowledge what it is what's being escaped from. Tolkien talked abkut the merits of escapism, you know. But his books still had war and oppression and violence and people getting corrupted by power. They weren't just about Hobbits sitting around and having breakfast. And second breakfast.
>>153760880Yeah, dude, I don't think a guy who makes art like this is comparable to Tolkien
>>153760544Dr Who is for faggots
>>153760544Nothing like a man on his 30 drawing himself hanging out wíth fictional kids
>>153760940Well, it's not about his art, it's about the point he's trying to make.
>>153760880I don't think everything needs to be a profound reflection of society but it is true that most of the best stories tend to pull from the creators real world experience, at least on some level. I feel like this is the same kind of perversion you see from people who like to abuse CS Lewis quotes and an excuse to live in a state of perpetual adolescences.
>Non-fiction fandom
>>153760544>fiction is for man-children who can't handle reality.Is this even a flex?
>>153761078Art is reflective of intelligence. Especially when someone has dedicated themselves to it for so long.>>153761078
>>153760544>JokerReally? You couldn't draw actually Batman? You go with the psycho killer? Yeah you're well adjusted.
>>153760641bad news pal, you are going to theater kid planet. now do the time warp again for the 9001st AIDs benefit screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show
He's right you know.
>>153761101It being the WW2 channel was repetitive but still interesting history. Now it's yeti and UFO and reality tv trash. We can't have nice things.
heh, so true
>>153762177You can't blame him, he's surrounded by IPAs and IPA people
>>153762273See, what's funny about this comic is the first half of the skinny kid's rant is true. People generally are shy because ultimately they don't want their egos hurt. But most shy people aren't narcissists like Lex Luthor who think themselves better than everyone else. They don't want their egos hurt because they (often) have low opinions of themselves, so damage to their egos confirms their belief that they suck. I have no idea why the skinny kid then just goes off the rails and politely tells the fat kid he's a terrible person.
>>153762577No, I don't think so. They aren't shy because they don't want their ego hurt, they are shy because they don't want their reputation hurt. Which isn't the same thing. It's the whole "It's better to be quiet and let people assume you're a simpleton than to speak out and prove to them that you're one" thing. Like, if you talk to the girl and embarass yourself, will she make fun of you? Will she tell other people and then they'll make fun of you too? You can shrug that sort of thing off as an adult where you can just avoid people, but as a kid, where you have to see them every day at school, that sort of thing actually matters.
>>153761246problematic blorbo
>>153760641Historically it has not been good for that.
>>153762177i actually do kind of like the taste of chilled dry beers
>>153762273I'm shy because I hate people.
>>153762177Does this guy also not eat his veggies?
>>153760544
Yeah it's called living a fucking shithole with shit politics
>>153760641Yeah, about that... >>153763284
>>153760589if you see yourself in this guy at any capacity, you should probably re-evaluate yourself
>>153762577>I have no idea why the skinny kid then just goes off the rails and politely tells the fat kid he's a terrible person.Either the artist is internalising his own "shyness" in a way that results in self loathing.Or the artist is insane.
>>153762757What reputation? And even if we accept that reputation counts for more then you want to accept. It effects how we're viewed in the society and if it's damaged then you face expulsion not embarrassment.
>>153760641Keep living a sad bigoted life, wnon
>>153763469Anon. What I mean is:When you're a kid, you spend half of your day, every day, around people who will at best call you names and at worst just beat you up if they think you're a wimp. You don't want that.
>>153763192Veggies taste good and are good. Alcohol is poison and tastes like poison. You're an addict, brother.
>>153762577Because the skinny kid is a fucking bully.What? You think bullies have a specific look? Anyone can be a bully in any given situation
>>153760544At what point does seeking fun and relief from real-world anxiety turns into unhealthy escapism where your life becomes confined to chasing dopamine, nostalgia, and memories?
>>153763593Beer is made of veggies.
>>153760544Is this like some sort of nuAndrew Dobson?
>>153762273I'd stop being someone's friend if they said that bullshit to me.
>>153763992>nuThis shit has been posted on here for fucking years.
>>153764031Well, I don't doubt that considering he has lots of other strips and art. People still call Disney Star Wars "Nu" when it has been around for 10+ years now.Doesn't not make him a newer version of someone who has been around longer.
DON'T EAT STARSCREAM'S COOKIES
>>153760544Retreating into fiction the second real life upsets you is the least healthy thing you can do
>>153760544I meanHes nkt wrong, the world is shittier and more confusing and chaotic NOW than it was when this comic came out lmaoWhy do you think the news keeps talking abojt how gen z doesnt go out anymore
>>153762273I learned from experience if you say the wrong thing or act embarrassing, sometimes you WILL be torn apart by the people you seek to engage with I work at trader joes and I havr to make sure my social game is on point, most kf the people there are fakeass white college niggas
>>153763284kek
>>153763522Faggot, cope
Modern have fandoms have just as much fighting but more mentally illness
>>153760544What he's not telling you in this comic.
>>153765203Eh. Plenty of ugly and poor guys have relationships. Some of them even with hot girls.
>>153760641I would unironically want to gas the jews. Wait did I say gas the jews? I meant, glass of juice. Yes, glass of juice
>>153762577Mwaaah!
>>153765528Can confirm. A tranny I get along with at school has a gf while he's avoiding deportation
>>153765682There you go. It's literally just dumb luck.
>>153761101History channel fumbled so hard concidering how successful a genre history is on YouTube . They had so many untapped goldmines with so little competition.
>>153762273>"Erm, have you ever stopped to consider...">*gets raped*>????Profit?
>>153765203Fuck off incel
>>153765203you could try not being a worthless faggot bitch and take a shower
>>153760544Oh, it's that comic and right on schedule, it triggers all the contrarian faggots around here who needs to virtue signal about how grown up they are and how above escapism and childish things they are. On fucking /co/ of all place. Eat shit, everyone have a form of escapism or hobbies they use to wind down when things get a bit too tough to handle, what trigger you and what have always triggered the immature irony poisoned fuckfaces is any form of sincerity, candor or even naivety just like in the comic OP posted
>>153760544>implying the fictional fandoms aren't just as bad/worse
>>153760544>>1537632844trve...
>>153762392But he only has stouts and lagers?
>>153760544Embrace the suck
>>153770031My favourite case of this is the guy that printed a tiny Princess Luna the horse onto a PCB that went up the ISS.
>>153768197>is the real enemy racism
>>153765203Yep yep
>>153765682>at scoolIt's not for schoolers we are talking to. Kids have it easier.Past 25+ is where trouble starts
>>153762273>be shy around women You're selfish >be assertive around women >You're misogynist
>>153760544>>153760940I wonder if low-functioning autists are ever like "damn I've been drawing at this exact level for 20 years. Fuck is going on. I need to lock in or something." BluebottleFlyer, guys like that.
>>153770936Can you post an (external) link to the picture of said PCB ?
>>153764124>Hes nkt wrong, the world is shittier and more confusing and chaotic NOWOh no, it's not you fuck pedal. He didn't grow up during WW2. He didn't suffer the great depression. He didn't live through an era of genuine racism. He's just a terminally online retard who can't handle anything.
>>153771971Yeah yeah and there's starving childrens in Africa
>>153770936 If you read this, this is >>153771909scratch that, i found the picture
>>153770031jesus christ.I know pilots (used to be?) for rich kids and some of their choices were brainless references but they had the self awareness, and the skills, to make it look good AND refer to something FROM their own country and culture.I remember a meme drawing of a WWII soldier versus a modern soldier, one of the key differences being the pinup in his bunk being not of a woman but a furry. Somehow that was more classy than reality and now I'm betting there are soldiers with italian (indian) brainrot stickers on their AKs.What happened?
>>153771971You fucking idiot, im comparing now to 10 years ago, when shit was less of a circusCovid permabroke the planet, we found out our leaders are literally satanic cannibalistic pedophiles , and our leaders are desperate to get ourselves in another war even though the economy is fuckedYou cant deny that THIS era of faggotass 2025-2026 is shit
>>153768197The only escape from reality comes when you die.
>>153772683>rich art kids>ACTUAL talentLmao But I do agree, the new zoomer art is goofy
>>153760544It’s interesting the only agency the figure grants himself here is the ability to choose which part of the corporation to dwell on.
>>153772841>LmaoThe rich used to spend money on art and music lessons. Before women's studies and funko pops became popular.
>>153760544Because the joker and Invaders zim such wholesome characters.
>>153773464>jokerI was thinking about this when that latest lego batman game came out. The one deliberately made to be played with your children or amongst your children as it has no online function.They even have stitched leather suit catwoman as a playable character but they raceswapped her to be the same as the current catwoman (Zoë Kravitz, Afro-Jewish) who never wore that outfit.
>>153773903Well I think people paying the game is generally accepting of the fact that the joker is a badguy. There's a difference between having fun with a villain and whatever the fuck OP image is.
>>153772683I agree anon.We must preserve the purity and integrity of soldier graffitis during war time,it is very important that the soldiers let out steam in a way that i approve
>>153760940I kinda like VR Dale Gribble.
>>153760544Except now the side on the right is full of the same shit since entertainment was ruined.
I unironically have an easier time talking non-fiction and real life than fiction these days. You try entering into any "fandom" (I fucking hate how that word sounds to say). I'd rather shit post about Iran than have some cartoon autist want to murder me over their retardation.
>>153775690idgiwhat's anon trying to say?
>>153772805>ten years ago was 2016>the first time Trump was elected and faggots everywhere thought the world had endedkek
>>153776248I remember when my family was saying he's going to be arrested, just two more weeks... in 2015.
>>153760544>starscream made cookieswhat fucking planet does this man live on. why in a million years would you pick starscream to do thati mean i guess this is the type of guy who just goes "all of my favorite characters love me! they'd support me even if that isn't what their character is at all!"buddy those cookies have needles in them>>153764105yeah exactly
>>153762177I don't drink actually. Like, not so much as a sip since I first drank with friends ten years ago. I think it's weird because everyone else drinks.>>153762273Who the fuck wrote this?>>153765680This is entirely different. Woody Allen is that one guy who acts shy in public but on the internet is the most opinionated ass wipe. The "Yahtzee"s of the world. Above is just a guy nervous about talking to a girl because it's a fucking minefield.
>>153763192>>153763593Both alcohol and veggies taste like garbage.
>>153760978>I like doctor who> also kinda of a faggot>justgottahavethatdick.jpegShit anon is right.
>>153768197>>153763284This says a lot about society
>>153760544I can't relate
>>153783672Real life situations fuck yeah
>>153760544No wonder the world and fandom have equally gone to shit.
>>153760880I don't need to be made aware of the problems of the world. I'm fucking aware.But there's not a goddamn thing I can do about it.So what I need is escapism to keep me sane and kind in this fucked up world.Maybe if there wasn't so much escapism available to us we'd be chopping off the heads of the nobility right now, but there isn't a goddamn thing I can do about that either.
>>153784252there literally is tons of things you can do about it you can become a politician, get certain people who share your values elected, you can chop the heads off of nobility nothing is really stopping you from doing it you just choose not to because you hate the idea of being uncomfortable and having to be genuine and actually try to do anything in your life
>>153760641>That one 13 episode where a FutureNazi uses time travel to try and ruin Rosa Parks' plans so that racism thrives in the futureHonest to god what were they thinking? There's even a sappy hamfisted magic school bus lecture at the end about how the fight is never lost and shit but man. It's not optimistic at all to go "racism stays forever but we don't let them win haha ;)". That's ignoring that fights for justice in the year 28,301 don't mean shit if some rando skinhead can just cut at the trunk.
>>153763284>>153768197me lately
>>153762577The skinny kid is a faggot from 4chan. Thus a pedophile, and an incel.
>>153784252It's not about making you aware, it's about contrasting them with the fantasy of overcoming them And, you know, ideally inspire people to do so in real life. Just leaving them out isn't escapism, it's just denial.
>>153760544the guy that drew this used to be kyle carrozza's best bud, i wish he didn't delete his video of grey delisle in vambre cosplay after shit went south
>>153784252>But there's not a goddamn thing I can do about it.This is the exact attitude that caused the world to go to shit in the first place. You could be, at this moment, performing any single act of kindness. You can be out there trying to make small changes to help your community or even just your own life. An escape is a fine breather but sooner rather than later you need to face reality.
>>153785442For some reason television writers are insanely bad at history. There was an episode of Freakazoid where he prevented Pearl Harbor and then came back to find the world is a utopia. Which is so stupid I think I went crosseyed when I first saw it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UwY6aY922s
>>153783714??
>>153776212That retard your anon is replying to is nostalgiafagging and gatekeeping military aircraft painting. It's fucking dumb
>>153760880Peter chung (aeon flux guy) had a really interesting point about art https://youtu.be/XLMdrinbi4c?si=MN3CKLItZQDUJPZE&t=1864
>>153771853I guess people like him are just fine with the level they're at and never feel the need to improve. Dude is in his 40's, I don't think he cares (outside of the likes and attention and what not)
>>153788651Don't blame others for your own peer pressure faggotry.
>>153772683I don't know anon, it's bizarre and pretty sad. Never forget how things were though
>>153788767At one point, why the fuck do you care if some randos on Deviantart improves or not. Everyone act like the self crowned mentor/tutorial figure over some amateurs, worse you feel entitled to deliver the maximum punishment you can behind the safety of your screen when your chosen student doesn't dance to your tune, and I'm pretty half of you around here can't fucking draw. And to be fair, yes, there is some hopeless causes around here that will never improve but instead of forgetting about them and letting them languish in mediocrity, you turn them into "lolcows" so other retards like you can gawk at your latest online finding of "mediocre fanartist number 34433345"
>>153765528>Some of them even with hot girls.You people are so naive and retarded it hurts
>>153788922anon, I was just making a general observation about the guy. I've not invested in his life story or want to make fun of him, it's just interesting to see someone make nearly no progress in his artistic journey despite drawing for like 20 years. You don't need to be an artist yourself to see the issue or think it's weird
>>153788286 #You have only yourself to blame, 4chinner. Your culture caused kindness (even naive or misguided) to be derided and systematically labeled as cringe or ess-jay-double-you. No wonder everyone is now retreating to their own cocoon when you worked so hard to make sociopath sounds cool and now you have a geriatric pedophile as the president of your country thanks for your "weaponized autism" and "meme magic". You made your bed now lay on it and eat the irony poisoned shit you fed to the Internet for the rest of your life but don't blame people for trying to escape the hell on earth you built for the luz in every way they can
>>153760641Congratz on being 98% of the reason the world sucks so hard, especially lately.
>>153789032Took you two attempts to say that huh. Well second verse same as the first. You're your own enemy.
>>153762273Why do normies procreate?
>>153780404And yet we live in it
