Yeah I think it comes back to the same old views of anime and other stylized art as childish or inferior.
Even if you make really graphic or abstract stuff, drawing from life improves your eye and technique. The only way you really "regress" is if you stop trying

It sucks that many artists can really only make art (and afford to live) if they're making Corporate Product. I hate it. But idk, I try to still see the artistic merit inside of it all. (Not trying to give Mattel or DC any credit, they deserve none)

There's many facets too. I try to remember that within these major studio projects, there are many passionate and excited artists who are trying to create meaning! Barbie had so much visual flair, it was refreshing and fun and heartfelt! BUT the reason behind the project was very "make lots of $"

Everyone should get one signature weapon. Big hammer, oil slick, chomping jaws, spearhook, etc

Oh, sorry, I forgot "ugly and fat people are intrinsically evil"

No, I agree with you. I think also creators of children's media should be held to a higher standard than they are, because of the impressionability of their audience and not, say, write a story that says some slaves are fine actually and getting rejected is a good excuse for becoming a nazi

Anything I see about art regression is someone who used to draw semi-realistically now drawing anime (probably bc they just enjoy it more)

Idk, children's media is incredibly important and I understand people having attachment to things that were part of their formative years. I think the issue lies more in people having an inability to self reflect or accept criticism for things they enjoy without taking it personally

No one is suggesting that. Only that it is obvious why people are desperate

Like yeah they can't pour their whole soul into it if they have to work another job on top of it to pay rent! Or if the page limitation is stifling! Or there's barely any time given to rework it!

I can agree that a *lot* of mainstream art is mediocre and safe and that's frustrating, but it's absolutely bonkers to decide "it's bc they aren't white" instead of the way creative industries are built, who decides what gets published, time constraints, low pay rates, etc

Yes, I await the revolution as much as the next leftist, but things are actually materially shit for a lot of people and I would rather have people with power in the government who at least attempt to alleviate some of that burden, or even talk about it.

I don't idolize AOC. I understand a coalition with leftists in government is essential. If we don't support our own, no one will.

You can disagree with that! That's fine! But you can't pretend AOC is identical to Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries.

The MET gala and Super Bowl happen every year. AOC attending does not impact that. I would rather her attend an event watched by thousands of politically naive libs who can potentially be swayed than not. Understand there's nuance
comment in response to
post
Attending the MET Gala does not cause material harm. AOC is a public figure, and politics is, unfortunately, a game. That means networking and marketing yourself. I also have criticisms of AOC! But you can't pretend she's just like every other democrat in congress.

Your actions have consequences. I will not mourn a man who funded the slaughter of thousands of innocent people. Cancer sucks, but so does Biden.

No, the difference was Rittenhouse intentionally traveled across state lines to a protest with a gun to start shit.

Like I genuinely can't see how you make the plot "they revealed proof that the leader is lying and everyone agreed he should be removed and did that" with how the last decade of politics has gone

I really thought the other bots were not going to believe the recording and/or not care and create an interesting conflict with Prime and Megatron of HOW do they rally these complacent people but
No they just... everyone believed it and decided to overthrow the government at once. Everyone just

Haven't watched it yet but that's crazy, especially since Ethan used Hasan "denying the rapes" as a talking point for over a year

Violence against an oppressive force is self defense, sorry.

We will not wake up one day and all understand healthcare is a right. People will continue to suffer and die because we do not provide it. I do not weep for those who use their power to benefit from and uphold that suffering.
comment in response to
post
What you aren't understand is the difference lies in power and systems. It's why an individual murderer will never be more evil than say, the higher ups of Lockheed Martin. The far reaching impact of their roles in profiting off of suffering can never be paralleled by an individual murder.

I am against retributive justice. Rehabilitation in the way. The people they murder on death row are already removed from society and the possibility of offending. Brian Thompson is a successful capitalist who followed the law. His offenses were rewarded. It is not nearly the same.
comment in response to
post
No, actually. Brian Thompson participated in a systemic violence that harmed millions of people for the benefit of his bank account. His family will continue to benefit from the people he stripped of medical coverage.
comment in response to
post
Brian Thompson would never have been put on trial because the violence he engages in to line his pockets is legal.
Rule of law works so far as the law is moral. It is not.
