Does this website have anything meaningful to say in terms of media analysis or are their tropes just invented by a couple of redditors that wanted to develope a niche project?

This. Comparing things to "reddit" is fucking retarded. Thinking that people can BE reddit is retarded. There's no competition between reddit and other websites. These fucking faggots supposedly loathe reddit so much and yet they give it such power by always, always, constantly referencing it as an insult to people who don't even use it. People made their choice and they're here. And the second they're not edgy enough or they're too mature that's the insult: "Go back". Go be with those "regular" people with their normal opinions, or whatever the actual crime of reddit even is. There's no way to tell from context. Just anything the accuser doesn't like becomes "reddit".
Did these people get kicked out of there or something? Who pays any attention? I'd never know anything about reddit if it weren't constantly mentioned on imageboards as some sort of bad place for dorks or something.
It's basically free advertising. I don't understand.

I'm like 80% sure I made this post two years ago. I didn't know this thread was even still here. This is a pre-hard-drive-crash thread.

>>42318
I was saying the website can be used that way. and yes tropes and cliches can sometimes overlap.
>>42319
I did not say that writing a good story was purely and simply a matter of subverting tropes, but that the website could be used as a way to avoid cliches and tropes in order to write less formulaic and more surprising works. audiences have a habit of saying "seen this before" when you use too many standard tropes in a cliched or non-original way.

Hello Sisters and Brothers, I'm looking for some recommendations for TV shows to watch that have a communist tilt to them, or are straight up communist.

It has been such a pain in the ass trying to watch a show that isn't either subtly Zionist or just straight up pro-US imperialism. Watching Scrubs and the Afghanistan war episode comes up. Watching Modern Family and there's constant references to Bar Mitzvahs (with Israeli flags). Watching fucking Hannah Montana and there's a Afghan war episode. Like I know that's ridiculous to mention but I'm trying to say the rot runs deep in essentially every piece of media we watch

I have included The Good Place as good example because although it's not explicitly communist, it is a show all about how Capitalism has made the world hell and only revolution can solve the problem but it still kinda distances itself from that by saying "revolution in the afterlife only". Still the best we've got

Does anyone have any recommendations for stuff to watch?

Severance is a show where the worker is so fully atomized that they have an entirely different personality from their non-work selves. This personality only has memories from when they began work and experiences nights and weekends as an eyeblink. Very class conscious, it's only on AppleTV so I recommend watching it from a sketchy .ru site or something like that

>Brandon Sanderson
Don't compare a guy who spent decades meticulously building a coherent world with an entire fictional history to someone who openly says that his books are a commercial product and he only does enough worldbuilding to make his books pass the sniff test to casual readers.

I was walking through target the other day and not only were they selling werewolf romance, it was also apparently a nyt best seller.

So no, fantasy is doing fine ||provided she takes the knot||

>>47387
I was talking more about the quality of the writing, not book sales.

>>47388
And obviously the quality has only improved. There's no werewolf romance in tolkien.

>>47422
I think the werewolf romance is actually a dip in quality, at least as far as the fantasy genre is concerned.

In fact, I would argue that "romantasy" books are really just romance incidentally set in a fantasy world.

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?

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.

I recently read Land of Men by St Exupery, I found it deeply poetic and beautiful and it did move things in me (wether when he free a slave, when some desert people see a waterfall for the first time and ask when its gonna stop, when he talk of the desert resistance fighters that get a purpose in life through their enemy, his pal that walked 5 days straight in the mountains to save himself after a crash and almost gave up but refused by thinking of his wife not getting insurance money if he disappeared). The early day of aviation were crazy. I really need to read the little prince now.
I also had a tear reading an assisted suicide scene in black man by richard morgan, but more because the personal stuff its associated with and the fact its obviously a strongly emotional scene.
I had a tear of awe and joy when reading children of time by tchaikovsky and the spider civilization entered in contact with its creator for the first time, reading its response.
if anyone is interested but dont care about spoil I can dig up some quotes

In a world that proclaims victory in the midst of defeat, how do we locate the gaps where new realities form?

HOUDINI Collective members, writer MMF (Marfa, TX) and situationist artist SHEM SHELLEY (London, UK) collaborate on a zine about the process, the movement, and the dream of it all.

Drawing from Derrida, Marx, and the classical political economists, this 8-page piece asks us to stop waiting for the messiah and start facing the specters that are already here. "How the Night Moves" is a meditation on the ghosts we exclude from our "end of history," and the socialist promise of returning the human essence to itself.

8 pages, PDF, with a web version releasing March 27th exclusive on HOUDINImagazine.com

Still spot-on. This article reminded me of your post https://www.pastemagazine.com/tv/amazon-prime-video/fallout-tv-series-ending-explained-spoilers-streaming-industry-corporations.

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.
