Nah.

Quote me where I say it’s not art, please.

You mean the console or the shape of its logo? Because those are different things. This is a discussion purely centered around graphic design for a gaming system’s logo. The graphic could be literally anything else and it wouldn’t change the console or its games. It’s like having a community dedicated to books and discussing those books and someone posting a picture of bookends, saying “look at these cool book bookends.” If someone said “that doesn’t have much to do with books” they would be (generally) right. It’s probably off topic for the intended subject matter of the community, in addition to being not very interesting. You might think that the logos for consoles is perfectly valid as a topic of discussion. In which case, great. Happy for you. I don’t agree and I elected to state that opinion.

And yet multiple people have managed to make responses.

Yes, and their responses are either equally vapid or are things like “Wait until they hear about the FedEx logo.” My initial response was critical of the underlying nature of the post, and I would argue that this conversation we are having right now, is substantially better than any conversation being had about the logo itself. So I guess I did have something to add to the conversation, otherwise (wait for it) you wouldn’t have bothered responding to me. Would you?

Casual reminder that you replied to me.

Well, for one, its relationship to “Gaming” is tenuous, at best. Two, it’s wholly superficial. There’s nothing even remotely conversation worthy here. “Look at this neat design.” Okay, and? What is the expected or desired response to that?

Well my initial goal was pointing out how stupid OP’s post was but now that you’ve decided to engage with me I’d say it’s because of your positively magnetic personality and my near pathological need to bicker with people on the internet.

I’m honestly not sure what you expected by responding to this kind of comment or what point you’re making. I’d also ask you if you were doing okay if I felt like being condescending, but I’m not in the mood for it.

I mean, it’s not disqualified from being art just because the artist got paid by a corporation.

Please quote me where I said that it was.

But yeah the fact that this is a product branding logo has weird “hail corporate” vibes.

That and the fact that the observation itself is somewhat facile.

“This work of art, created by a corporate graphic designer for a video game system, is a work of art, created by a corporate graphic designer for a video game system.”

Fascinating.

Not sure what your point is, but I have a hard time imagining love and acceptance not going hand in hand.

Looked up the article. They’re mad that Dolly Parton, who is a very outspoken Christian, is specifically the kind who embraces the “God loves everyone and that means we should love everyone, too” ethos of Christianity. In other words, the author of the article is pissed that Dolly doesn’t gaybash. What a fucking piece of shit you have to be to sit down and be like “you know what’s wrong with this person? They aren’t cruel enough.”

Also, it’s a movie and these people are actors with no meaningful genetic relationship between them.

This is a laundry list of things that are just very obviously the opposite of punk, though. It’s like if you asked someone to define “anti-punk,” they’d rattle of something very similar to this. It’s also in “Microblog Memes,” a meme community. The things posted here are jokes, and as such its nature as a joke is reinforced by the context in which the text is presented. This is Media Literacy 101, stuff.

Also, posted in a meme community. So, like…doubly obvious to anyone who spent literally more than a second thinking about what they were reading.

In this thread: People who are incapable of understanding the most transparently obvious satire ever written.

Brother, if you gotta ask that question you might want to take a good hard look at your own social media literacy. This is one of the most obvious pieces of satire I’ve ever seen. It has all the subtlety of a kick in the balls.

“Person who frequents reddit clone surprised to see reddit content. More at 11.”

“Boxxo, would you like it if I stuck my dick in your coin slot?”

“Too bad.”

“That sounds like a ‘Yes’ to me.”

5? This season has Villainess Level 99, season 2 of Tsukimichi, The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic, My Instant Death Ability is Overpowered, Fluffy Paradise, The Weakest Tamer, Doctor Elise, Sasaki and Peeps, Tales of Wedding Rings, and Ishura (sorta). We’re now at around 10 per season. Honestly, we’re actually at the peak of the genre right now (or tied for it) if you exclude ONAs and only care about full t.v. series that are your classic “transported to or reincarnated in another world” stories. For the past few years the average per season has actually been closer to 7, rather than 10. We’ve never had a full 15 Isekai t.v. series in a single season.
