Wanted to ask on both /games/ and /anime/ but I think this is too niche of a theme to have many examples only from one art form.

I was thinking a lot about whether or not art should be politicized for a long time. And while I think anti-capitalism and progressive pandering in modern pop culture are indeed shallow there are certain works which reinforce anti-capitalism with their sheer depressing worldbuilding (even if many of their authors aren't leftist). The examples of this are:
>Deus Ex
>American Psycho
>Disco Elysium
>Joker
These works are not necessarily cyberpunk (they don't have to be) but they are pessimistic. They aren't about opposition to the state either so 1984 doesn't count at all. They are very immersive and can be quite trippy, even artsy. Their narrative can be sometimes confusing, even repetitive (with Bateman literally describing every commodity he sees in American Psycho). I want this trippy, immersive experience. I want to see more of it.

I mean, I got your point, They Live is shilled quite a lot. Though since people were recommending all the popular stuff and I listed the popular stuff too then it's kinda funny noone suggested They Live as well. And I also forgot to add it as an example in the OP so that's why I mentioned it.

That said, someone suggesting The Matrix would be really weird imho.

>For their follow-up study, the researchers focused on radiocarbon dating of conifer pollen, because it comes from a terrestrial plant and avoids the issues that can arise when dating aquatic plants such as Ruppia, according to the news release.

>The scientists were able to isolate some 75,000 grains of pollen, collected from the exact same layers as the original seeds, for each sample. Thousands of grains are required to achieve the mass necessary for a single radiocarbon measurement. The pollen age matched that found for the seeds.

>The team also used a dating technique known as optically stimulated luminescence, which determines the last time quartz grains in the fossil sediment were exposed to sunlight. This method suggested that the quartz had a minimum age of 21,500 years.

What are you talking about? The overall point of "there are older cultures we haven't found yet" or "ancient peoples were more advanced than we give them credit for" are pretty mainstream. Some of the more marginal and less important claims that Hancock reports are also seeing more evidence pointing towards them, like that crater found under the Hiawatha glacier or the South American crop residue found on Rapa Nui.

>In the early 1930s a series of food crises affected major agricultural countries,[4] the one in the UkSSR being an outright famine:

>[…] the USSR experienced an unusual environmental disaster in 1932: extremely wet and humid weather that gave rise to severe plant disease infestations, especially rust. Ukraine had double or triple the normal rainfall in 1932. Both the weather conditions and the rust spread from Eastern Europe, as plant pathologists at the time documented. Soviet plant pathologists in particular estimated that rust and other fungal diseases reduced the potential harvest in 1932 by almost nine million tons, which is the largest documented harvest loss from any single cause in Soviet history.

>— Mark Tauger, [5]
This was followed by severe drought.

>Anticommunist sabotage also had an influence.[6][7] While collectivization might have influenced the famine, its extent remains disputed, but is likely that inappropriate procurement targets also contributed to the crisis.

>The Soviets responded to the famine by sending food aid and reducing food quotas and food exports.[8][9][10][11] Despite their efforts, modern analysis indicates that 1.8–2.5 million people still perished, which corresponds to the Soviet estimate of 2.4 million.[12]

It's just a content warning, you infants. Peertube does that too I'm pretty sure.

Considering that all current AI methods even the most advanced ones stay completely depended on human generated data, like for example how machine translation is at the end still dependent on the continuous data generated by human translators for training and verification the part of the machines not being able to shake their dependence on human cognition for their own cognitive processes becomes even more of a visionary motif. A shame they didn't go with that.

You know, after watching a lot of ATLA I kinda understand why it's a kids' show. There are a lot of juvenile jokes and the characters bluntly stating the moral of the episode. It's something that I notice in shonen series too, which really makes me drift away into seinen since it really makes me roll my eyes.

Also, the way they made Zuko flip-flop and betray his uncle is just a mess. He was clearly changing but it seems Mako's death really screwed with the plot the writers were cooking up so the best solution they made is to roll him back to the beginning and then build his character development back up again. Were they afraid to kill Iroh? Couldn't they just make it so it's Azula who is the one who imprisoned Iroh and it's Zuko who tries to help him break free when nobody sees him instead of, you know, lashing out on his uncle for no fucking reason?

>>45316 (me)
I also feel like the show plays it too safe for my liking, like being afraid of killing off major characters or traumatizing comic relief characters like Ty Lee, and the conflicts resolve too quickly sometimes. This show has many trappings of other kids shows, I don't understand why it's considered the greatest show ever. Like, Sonic Forces is mocked for constantly reminding you about the power of friendship but aren't ATLA's characters just outright stating the moral of the episode just as blunt and unsubtle? I dunno, maybe I'm not understanding something. It's like after I've watched Gurren Lagann. Everyone kept saying it is the greatest show ever but I was just like: "Eh."

>>45316
Tbh a lot of adults badly need the moral of the story to be bluntly stated these days.

Zuko backsliding is fair IMO. He'd been away from his family a long time and with the possibility of getting back in his father's good graces it's somewhat understandable he'd go that direction. The conflict is also foreshadowed earlier in scenes with Iroh (vid related) so the idea that they changed this to deal with Mako's death doesn't seem likely.

>>45336
>I also feel like the show plays it too safe for my liking
That's a studio decision for the most part. Which doesn't change the end product but it's less "playing it safe" and more working within certain limits. Jet's death in particular screams that the studio wouldn't let them be more explicit.
>This show has many trappings of other kids shows, I don't understand why it's considered the greatest show ever.
That's because of other things in the show, like the character arcs and world building, not because it lacks characteristically kid-friendly elements. Good show isn't synonymous with "not for kids."

Well, maybe these adults need to
grow up.
>with the possibility of getting back in his father's good graces
It would have been nice and dandy if he didn't collaborate in imprisoning his own uncle whom he supposedly loves and then actively berate him while visiting him in prison. It's clear they either needed an excuse for Iroh to be silent as they search for a new actor or for Zuko to return to the fire nation.
>Good show isn't synonymous with "not for kids."
Neither is it synonymous with "for kids." The typical cliches and limitations of kids' shows may negatively affect the plot too. When it comes to adult animation at least it doesn't have imposed limits (even though often the kinds of shows which get greenlit in America are crass comedies). And I'm not even talking about web animation 'cause there the sky's the limit, you can literally draw whatever tf you want. As you watch more and more shonen however you kinda start understanding the complaints of the seinen crowd, even though enjoyable shonen do exist despite all the cliches and pandering inherent to the demographic.

So many fabulous and easily maintained buildings have been demolished because of short-sightedness. We shouldn't be vandals of architecture. We should preserve the Penn stations and the Russian cathedrals of the world, and not just demolish our monuments.

We should rebuild some of them as well. People don't just have utilitarian needs and need a "spiritual" or imaginative side which is opposed to efficiency but which startles you.

The thing unspoken about "muh architecture" is that people obsess about what the building looks like on the outside.
What about the INSIDE? How useful is the building for its intended purpose? How do the people who use the building feel about it? If a building looks plain on the outside but has a high efficiency and quality of life on the inside, that's good. We shouldn't get too tied up in impractical aesthetics, that's reactionary.
I can't help but be reminded of liberals who whine about apartment complexes being ugly and then complain about homeless camps in the same breath.

Most people think about the outsides of buildings because that's the part they see. I'd be willing to bet money that, on average, people only enter 1% of the buildings they look at. And from that perspective, it makes sense to want the outside to look good.

Architecture people will fucking hate me for this, but I really do think Vegas casinos have the right idea; start with a raw functional box that's been designed from the inside out for function, and then add a decorative facade and roofline. Yeah yeah it's "tacky", but people clearly like it, and it does what it needs to in terms of utility,

>>4653
Why shouldn’t proles enjoy architecture that was once reserved to to upper classes only? The aristocracy and bourgeoisie are human with human tastes, what looks beautiful to their eyes and the comfort they enjoyed should be accessible to proles, including their mansions. Tearing architecture to replace ugly things just makes the movement like spiteful contrarians that doesn’t even understand that everything Marx and Engeld wrote about was about a historical process that could be forced earlier to achieve a new means of production earlier instead of waiting and suffering through centuries of capitalist exploitation.
In the samr way the Pyramids shouldn’t be torn so shouldn’t bourgeoisie villas be torn down. It should be conserved so that future generations will be able to learn and understand, for some day full communism will be achieved, and after that another newer means of production will arrive, so alien to us as the industrialization is alien to the slave based economies of the Bronze Age.

Don’t destroy that shit, retard.

All idiots worshipping brutalism outside of monuments are Americans from suburbs that don’t understand that all those concrete blocks were only supposed to be a temporary solution for home shortages after WW2 and they were planned to be torn down and replaced after about three to four decades, but then the Warsaw Pact collapsed.
It wasn’t planned to be ugly to make a fart huffing statement, it was kept totally utilitarian and plain to make it as cheap as possible. Communism isn’t about living in grey concret boxes like bees, and if you think thats an “aesthetic” then you should kys or read the book (because I can tell that you didn’t).

Even the best creepypastas were kind of mid tbh, though there was a magic to the newness of their subjects and storytelling methods. It is what it is, though, I guess. Even pulp fiction magazines had stricter quality control than borderline-anarchic internet communities competing for 5 minutes of viral fame.
