/draw/ - Original Art

I suspect the decline in political cartoons and satire in general has something to do with the absurdity of post-modernity and late stage capitalism
The phrase "beyond satire" is completely cliche now

>>2673
Makes sense too me. In a post-irony world only something like Kelly's comics can be relevant.

>Is it possible to make actually good political cartoons?
Yeah but it seems like only furries know how. Probably because with them it's easier to avoid falling into "This person is WRINKLEY because they're a BAD person" and they can focus on having characters symbolize stuff without pinning it on an existing person to be a scapegoat.

Internet Memes

How do they do it? Why do they waste their lives making such bad art and commentary for free? Is it possible to make actually good internet memes? What would that even look like?

>>2675

This, i really can't hate furries anymore, the way this timeline is going furries are still cringe
but your average furry is at the very least a smart fella, but doesn't mean you still might find one or two; fart smellas.

This guy has like maybe 1-2 good images, most of their stuff is preachy idpol. The message in this one is alright, but it has absolutely no connection to the actual pictured content, slapping in a hammer and sickle is LARP at best if the actual rest of the image doesn't support it. Then again SabinyAk, you've been a schizo LARPer since day 1, so I don't expect anything else from ya.

damn

that's a lot of projecting.

>>2682
Looking at their mastodon, I don't really see that much idpol, aside from flags I guess but I'm not sure how productive it is to lump flags in with idpol as a whole, a lot of catchphrase politics but those are clearly meant to be posters, where that's fine in moderation. I am bewildered by the mishmash of politics and sexual themes though. It's probably meant to be some abstract meta-satire I'm too dumb to understand.

>>2684
Damn that's a lot of reddit go back

>>2686
There's a lot of idpol in some of their deleted images or older stuff and it's just kinda lame. Not blatant liberalism, but it's just boring. Like the pic you just posted at least puts the anarchist symbolism over the futa or trans furry character next to a politically suggestive message, implying the solution for the question posed, "just wanna go apeshit? Anarchism"

A furry porn artist decides to insert their political activism into their primary interest, that's about as simple as it gets, no satire really. Pic rel is probably my favorite one of theirs, if simply for it being on point.

t. the retard that doesn't know the importance of SqrlyJack in IBs

also let's be real, with memes, everybody can make a homegrown political cartoon in 3 seconds

>>2698
>F-fuck u
<retarded (reddit) spacing
>importance of SqrlyJack in IBs
LMAO stop dickriding and seething like I insulted your god, I just offered a critique on much of their 'art' being mediocre in terms of actually connecting to their political message and the insertion of idpol into it, chill the fuck out.

>>2699
True, but whether its a good one or not is up in the air, and originality of the meme gets lost a bit.

>>2699
>with memes, everybody can make a homegrown political cartoon in 3 seconds
But wouldn't that put pressure on professional cartoonists published in magazines and newspapers to be not complete shit to differentiate themselves?

>>2672
We should absolutely make a drink and call it the MARXARITA lol

>>2706
What was old Karl's drink of choice?

>>2707
Not sure personally, but a quick skim on a google search suggests he liked beer ; particularly Viennese beer

>>2709
>everyone I don't like is /pol/
>spacing and formatting is "grammar"
>N-no u
Who are you even responding to? Nobody said any of the things you're seething about. Go back to /GET/

>>2672
He's never wrong. Such a good filter for shitlibs.

>>2677
memes are just info-viruses
you need a simple kindergarten tier message and convey it with the least amount of effort possible
