Even though the fandom is pretty dead. I wanted to see what a brony thread on here would look like since I’m a newbie

What does /leftypol/ think about this franchise and the online subculture it spawned? I feel like now that the little girls who made up the target audience are young adults I’ve been seeing more zoomers tell stories about how they were “traumatized” by the adult fandom and it’s becoming more in vogue to decry the whole “brony” phenomenon as “problematic”.

On the other hand though what’s the sociological explanation for millions of grown men becoming obsessed with a little girls cartoon in spite of hegemonic Western gender norms? I’ve read a lot of conflicting theories from academics and culture critics regarding this. Is it autism? Post-Irony? Or is there something about it that just makes it genuinely appealing?

Just read through the Judge Dredd spinoff comic Fall of Deadworld, or at least what's available now. It's not a bad apocalypse adventure story, and the art is really good at being creepy and unsettling.




 

Tired of cyberpunk and dystopian culture in general, post ITT worlds you would want to live in or not too bad depictions of leftist societies.

This is the kind of shit that gives "conspiracy" theories a bad name. It lumps in actual glowies like Orwell or Service with those that are legit and in so doing discredits the entire idea for people.

Has any book touched very deeply inside your heart? And perhaps made you cry or think solemnly of your life?

I don't think any book has ever moved me as much as "lonely castle in the mirror". My whole life up to my young adulthood was just a traumatic event conga. I felt very understood when reading that book. Has anything made you feel kinda like that? Vid unrelated.

There is a part in Paradise Lost when Satan arrives on Earth, where he contemplates his fate, and concludes that there cant be no escape from hell because he fundamentaly cant change, redemption under dures of infernal suffering would not last the moment he is free of it, he would return to his old ways and earn himself hell once again.
I remember crying while reading it, recognising my own condition in it.

A farewell to arms made me cry. It was all for nothing.

I like the doodles, anons.

Used to love to draw but my depression has sapped me of any enthusiasm for it. Maybe one day I'll get it back.

As someone in a similar situation you're much better off just putting pen to paper than waiting for enthusiasm to somehow return.



 

A general for "western" animations/cartoons.
Gonna start off with a recommendation to watch The King and the Mockingbird the 1980 version especially, absolutely comrade-pilled movie.

Been checking a few of the recent Internet indie animation darlings. Some unsolicited thoughts

>Helluva Boss

Tried multiple times with this but just couldn't get over how mid the humor is and how it often feels like a sensitive Tumblr kid trying and failing to be edgy because they don't believe in it. I'm not necessarily against what it's trying to do, I have a bit of a theater kid side in me and I surprisingly vibe with the character designs and songs, it's just that the writing is really mediocre and not enjoyable. This feels to me like one of those franchises that's sustained more by fandom (i.e. churning out new characters for merch, providing a lot of fanfic fuel, lots of songs for fan creators to cover, that kind of thing) than quality, but maybe that's a bit unfair.
>Murder Drones
Really fun. Loved the visual direction, the density of the writing, the over-the-top robo violence, how it uses anime influences without going fully into pastiche. Although the
humor and the horror elements felt a little trite sometimes. I do prefer the version of the show that the pilot was hinting at, with the protagonists being less moral, the designs a little more fanservicey, and N showing his dangerous side more often. "Let's exterminate humanity" felt like a more intriguing premise. Even then, the whole show felt like something I'd never quite seen before, so for it to have this level of production quality makes me glad for where indie animation is at.
>Punch Punch Forever
One of the most entertaining things I've watched in a while. Just a really good time. Really funny, really creative, the fast pacing is exciting and the action scenes are surprisingly fun in their own way.

Accepting recommendations. Still a little on the fence about whether to watch all of Digital Circus

thats just anyone whos a proper citizen of bourgeois society, artists arent some special kind of petit bourgeois, and whatever they do in their private lives is irrelevant to art itself. even marx loved shakespeare, etc

>>47298
>I feel like pretty much anyone who isn't already part of a fandom would agree
Even IN fandoms some people would agree, it's not really about fandoms, it's more a cancerous infantile mentality towards story telling. I think it comes in part from liberal ideologues constantly crying about depictions of racism or other discrimination in films from the past and demanding censorship of it (like censoring Tom Sawyer) when really its just overly sensitive infantile people being uncomfortable with something or projecting and getting triggered.
Even with stuff like StarShip Troopers people will fucking foam at the mouth calling it pro-fascist when Heinlein also wrote books that directly contradicted the ideology in StarShip Troopers, because a story and characters in stories aren't necessarily an authorial self-insert.

>>47321
Ppf is great, looking forward to the next one

>>47332
The worst thing about it is definitely how long the new episodes take, but I respect that it's a consequence of speedoru doing nearly everything by himself.

Terrible film making fun of marxism, the initial concept was interesting, but they spent all of the film's time to revolve around 5-6 annoying main characters rather than environment. They had a "marxist world" eternity sold out (eternities are somehow scarce?) and all these other obnoxious ones that were being advertised, but it never really explained itself, instead it just focuses on one meaningless relationship to characters I could not care less about. The MC was asking the right questions in the beggining but then just gave up and made it all about his wife. WHY?
The ending was just a random "happily ever after" ending, I would've preferred if the wife got sent to the void for being so indecisive. The entire "afterlife" lobby or system is not very precise and appears to be operated entirely by people. They never bothered to explain how any of that works, just completely ignored this new concept the movie brought and revolves around.

In short what they presented was:
You die, you are in a giant waiting lobby, you get to choose your own eternity which is a world in which you spend eternal existence in but you only get to choose once, if you choose one and then try to get out or switch they will try to catch you and if they catch you they send you to an eternal void, eternities are scarce and some eternities are "sold out" or "defunct" because they became full or are "outdated" (i.e. they mentioned racist eternities and a "marxist world eternity" was also shown to be "sold out"), the MC's wife somehow manages to switch eternities without being caught and we're left to assume she lives forever in the new eternity, some people don't choose so they have to stay in the lobby and do jobs. NOTHING ELSE IS ELABORATED. They didn't give a fuck to even play with this concept a bit, they made it all about a cuckhold husband, a wife and her former husband. They had this insane concept and turned it into the cheesiest lamest romance story.

if you have an afterlife with all this potential why would anyone choose to limit themselves to just one shallow theme park style world? Literally what is the point of that, and who would ever design it that way?

This whole genre of modern magical realism annoys me because it treats all these foibles of 20th century capitalism like they are natural laws of the universe and not something made up by a specific human society. The Backrooms is probably the most distilled version of that: you find a space between spaces, somewhere outside of normal reality, but it just looks like bland hallways. Not because of some weird eldritch entity has warped human-made architecture, but because architecture is treated as natural. Eternity apparently does this too, treating advertising and the tourism industry as something apart from society, more real and essential than gravity.

culture has been produced in factories for over 100 years and we wonder why everything feels so sterile

>Severance seems highly derivative of Squid Game
I don't think that at all. I don't know which parts you think are the same even.

Yeah the film kinda sucked, I thought it was going in the direction of all three of them sharing an entirety as a polycule together as all 3 and was disappointed when it cucked out and gave us the boring predictable ending

>>47329
Unrelated but the first half of Paint Your Wagon is pretty based
