ITT we discuss business strategy and help other anons escape wage slavery, build a business that subverts capitalism from within, and become ethical petty booj with a lefty perspective in mind.

This is for serious discussion only, keep focused on the topic and don't derail the thread.

Anyone here /bardpilled/?

I've been dipping back into the Shakespeare well a bit recently. Takes me back to school when the world of "serious literature" was still this mysterious and exciting unexplored place for me.

What are some of your favorite plays, characters, lines, etc.?

Anyone else going to watch this show out of solidarity? Chuds are already mad that Abby isn't a steroid hulk and claiming that the actress playing Abby should be playing Ellie instead. The seethe over this show is going to be immense and generate nonstop rage videos for at least the rest of the year.

Does anyone like to build model kits here or is that advanced commodity fetishism? I've only done snap builds before, there's a military industrial complex endorses plane kit I haven't done and painted yet
Miniature painting too, that's adjacent enough right?

Thread for talking about webcomics. Share your favs, discuss latest updates.

I recently discovered "basket of guts"
https://basketsofguts.thecomicseries.com/comics/1#content-start
A story about a lich that comes out of his crypt for world domination and find the world evolved and then quickly end on the run from a "modern" state security services.
Really liking it so far. Good mix of genres, starting from a standard fantasy world and instead of freezing it in time add societal and technomagical development. Also I find it pretty funny. Not everything translated yet sadly.

its on leftypol that I discovered Out Of Placers (apparently created by a furry artist, which explain the horniness)

Pretty interesting world building.

Finished since quite a while but at the time followed schlock mercenary. Goofy SF about a mercenary company.

On a more smutty side, I like alfie by incase.

For the non storyline webcomics, existential comics, oglaf and SMBC are my favs.

Is there any art you like, hell even adore, but it just so happens that the person behind that art just emits hitler particles to the max. Here is my example. Hirotonfa. Really like his style. His comics aren't bad, can be funny. But there is a reason that he got rid of his likes on his bird app account. Every time on my timeline I see some rightoid's post, I just assume its one of his likes. Check the post and sure enough it is. I wish I could just mute his likes, so I can just get his art, but alas, not an option. Shame really but what can I do.

I don't know if its allowed, but this thread is open to all styles of art. I was going to attempt on the draw, but it seems its purely for original art, so decided to create the thread here

Porky punching lumpens to get his kicks or class traitor who directly and indirectly helpi people?Also general capeshit thread i guess

What is the first work of art that comes to your mind when you hear "It is adverticised as revolutionary, but is in fact so reactionary in its message and style that one cannot help but to wonder if this is CIA psyop"?

For me this is picrelated, if I was Alan Moore I would have tried to sue Wachowskis for making that shit, because it is an atrocious rape of his original comic and is the reason Guy Fawkes mask was appropriated both by "Anonymous" (literal CIA) and antisocial dudebros from 4chan.

Ranking Justice League episodes because its 3 am and I wanna do something for fun after working on my coursework for all evening. Not doing Unlimited because the first two seasons are my childhood nostalgia but Unlimited is not.

Worst story - The Savage Time. This episode features WW2 and does not even once (!) mentions (!) Soviet Union. The burger "We wuz Nazi beaters!" self-fellating at its most egregious. Sucks this has to be the story that introduces Vandal Savage in DCAU.

23rd place - Fury. This story really wants to say something about gender and feminism… but, of course, turns out to be a complete worhless nothingburger that fails to even have a proper climatic battle.

22nd place - Secret Origins. A… passable pilot for the series, even though it visibly takes a massive dip towards mediocrity after the end of the first part.

21st place - Hearts and Minds. Too much sexual subtext for the children's show, period. The action is horrible and the setting is too big for the generic "villain of the week episode" (ironically, this is one story that probably could have worked better as a three-parter) Also is it just me, or are villains Islamophobic caricatures?

20th place - Secret Society. A typical "teamwork good" story, executed rather poorly. Most of the action in there looked like a circus show for me (though there were a couple of awesome moments). And did they really just… killed poor Clayface like that?

19th place - Metamorposis. It is a fun story, but what ruins it is a jarring fact that so much time is put into building Metamorpho's character that the only real way to justify it would be to add him as a League member at the end… and yet we never see him again until Unlimited.

18th place - Legends. Easily the most overrated DCAU story. Largely this story is just early 2000s capeshit writers jerking off to Silver Age capeshit writers… which has almost zero value to viewers outside of BurgerLand. Oh, and the Soviets are implicitly the real main villains in this.

What can we really consider a "masterpiece?" And who's to define what is a masterpiece and what isn't? Moreover, how can we compare "masterpieces" of different art forms? I'm asking this since the only undisputed masterpieces in our society seem to be classical literature and classical music while everything else has to constantly prove itself to be as good as them. And when it comes to defining masterpieces in animation, let alone anime, instead of someone more professional like Roger Ebert or whatever we have some random YouTube essayists that gush about how this and that cartoon/anime is a "10/10 masterpiece." And when it comes to video games all we have are corporate journos giving 10/10 to games that become dated after 5 years. In the video game world what was considered a "masterpiece" before would be considered merely decent at best if it was published today. This is such a unique situation that literature never had to wrestle with (it's just letters on paper). And don't get me started on just how many of these "masterpieces" exist and how not every person may even vibe with the same type of game. Say, Mario 64 is considered a masterpiece. But I like Sonic Adventure. I like the sense of speed, I like the flow of movement, I like to go fast and never stop to take a breath. These are completely different feelings to those you get from playing SM64. Same for Super Meat Boy, another favorite of mine. It too makes you rush at a breakneck speed but it also punishes you for a slightest mistake which is very different from Sonic games which are very forgiving even compared to Mario games due to the ring system and the safety required to reach high speeds since Sonic is more physics-based.
