>dystopian future>is more comfy than reality
>>201766451Because our reality is also a dystopian future but with the cool (robot and porn) factor
>>201766451Our present is dystopian but not nearly high-tech enough for people to meaningfully immerse themselves in digital simulacrum to escape that fact.
It's because it was dark. Probably looked like shit when during the day
>>201766451>Writers come up with ideas they think would by dystopian>China enters the world stage"these are the same picture">India enters the world stage>Fake dystopian future isn't so bad in comparison
THEY SAY YOU BRADE LUNNER
third world shitholes are like that in currentyear
>>201767157isnt it>He say you Bladerunner?
ironically they are only allowed to portray a politically correct dystopia, they cant depict racial violence or race gangs or beating women or blacks stealing. And in bladerunner 2049 its such a dystopia that.... A matriarch of androids is leading a revolution based on social inequality. Mind blowing stuff bro.
>>201766538>implying there's a 'day' cycle
>>201766451This movie is shit and this one of the worst things about it. The movie is not post-nuclear war or if it is it is so vague it's never mentioned when in Do Androids Dream the nuclear fallout pervades every thought and action. The reason for everything is the global nuclear war several years ago. The movie is like "ooohhh, such a dark future" and it's like yeah it's raining all the time which doesn't happen in LA. Is it implying something happened to fuck up weather?
How can conditions be demonstrably heightened/worse than current day and yet people leave their houses, talk with one another, form subcultures and friend groups, run small businesses, purchase expensive computers and flying cars and cybernetic implants, etc.? At this rate everyone is going to lock themselves into a pod apartment and live online.
It kinda sucks how there's no distinct futuristic aesthetic anymore.The 60's were all googie and colourful, the 80's had cyberpunk, the 2000's were sleek and minimalist. Nothing today screams 'future', really. It feels like everything has been done already and contemporary media just regurgitates and remixes old shit
>>201767649Acid rain was the environmentalist cause du jour. Anyone watching it without zoomer blind spots from not being alive at the time could see heavy industry spewing fumes in the intro and the rain and put the two together.
>>201769896>"hole in the ozone" propaganda appears the exact fucking year before DuPont and GM were going to lose their R-12 freon patent>happened again with R-22aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>201768001No-one's willing to make basedpunk media and thats a bit sad really, I guess because it would be inherently right wing to show a projection of the current zeitgeist as a dystopia and we can't allow that.
>>201768001>everything has been done alreadyNow that we know what AI of the future will actually look like, it's a perfect time to popularize a new futuristic setting based on our new understanding of life with AI. Too bad we don't have the artists competent enough to do this, guess we'll have to wait until AI does that job itself
>>201766451>car centric suburbia means i will never get to walk down an alley ive walked down 1000 times before, popping into my usual noodle place for a quick bite to eat on my way homeb-bros....?
>>201770289>its starting to rain outside>the noodle guy, who knows me by sight and knows im not much of a talker, gives me my usual me saying anythingaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>>201770289Hustle AND bustle?
>>201770289>car centric suburbia meanslol urban retard trying to turn this into some bug city propaganda is funnyWith a car you can drive into a city, dumb fuck
>>201770289Move to a city retard>b-but muh nogs and crime rateDo you want to live in a cyberpunk dystopia or not?
>>201770368sorry, i mean my fantasy is neither a car-centric suburbia, nor a neoliberal 80,000 people per square mile hellscape
>>201770427With a car you can go anywhere you want
>>201766451>comfyNigga the point of cyberpunk is that life is shit for the underclass which you 100% would belong to if you’re posting here. Deckard enjoyed a private vehicle, a spacious apartment, and general safety because he was basically a cop. Just like cops in the third world generally have a higher standard of living despite poverty, disease, crime, starvation etc being the typical experience for anyone not a member of the privileged class.
>>201770253>Modern AI>A shit search aggregator that can also draw shit picturesTruly dystopian.
>>201770486I think OPs point is that we got that shit life anyway, just much gayer.
>>201766451>dank>smelly>dirty >loud >crowded You absolute buffoon.
>>201766451the 80's and 90's thought the dsytopian future was filled with whites and asians. The reality is filled with blacks, browns, and muslims
You can literally go visit a noodle restaurant while wearing a trench coat right now.
>>201770801Sounds comfy, desu
>>201770206>I-Its a dystopia because I can't get laid and only 99% of all media panders to me!
