Vainamoinen: The most important graphic novel of the last 10 years, I think, is Shaun Tan's
The Arrival. And if you're into the social justice stuff, ain't we all, try Craig Thompson's
Habibi or
Blankets (warning, both explicit at times). That would give you a more well rounded view of the medium.
227: Thanks for the recommendation; I looked those up and Habibi in particular stood out. Maybe I'll find the time to sit down with one of those at some point.
Vainamoinen: We had already agreed on the problems of universal outrage culture. And particularly as the outcry here centered not on a franchise, but on one individual creator, and comprised far too many articles, it wasn't a cause I could get behind in any way. Of course, the death threats the protesters received, I couldn't get behind those as well.
227: Sigh, there are always death threats whenever something controversial happens, aren't there? But yeah, I wasn't accusing you or anything, and I remember that we agree on the outrage thing. I just thought that incident fit into the random puritanical outrage that seems to be the modus operandi of the culture crusaders someone had mentioned earlier using
the acronym that shan't be written.
YaTEdiGo: Here it comes the puritan, LOL
227: Is it really necessary to antagonize someone just because you disagree with them? Besides, Vaina linked me to some fairly explicit artsy stuff, so I think you might be a bit off the mark. They're kind of taking it from all sides, lately, and I think the least we could do is appreciate that someone's still around to disagree and keep
us from turning into the same kind of echo chamber we've spent the past year decrying.
I'm not asking that we all magically become
best friends forever, but a little decency toward even those we disagree with would go a long way.
Neo Puritans are focused on ¨pixels¨, and pop culture, such is the HUGE decadence of our society, that started to fight for the rights of the "virtual" comfortably sit down on their sofas and twitting on their hundred of dollars devices, because we all want to imagine we are "saving the world", some to save their "souls" of the guilty of living better than many others, in an unconscious way... making meanwhile people like Anita Sarkesian or others make money in their own internet boudeville ... meanwhile half of the other world, REALLY suffer under the feet of men, and other women, (Ablation is commited by women to other women, but hey! that´s men´s fault... not stupid religions or believes fault... is men...)
The most funny thing is seeing the battle for ¨sexism¨ on the mouth of SJW, to later see them defending mouslims "rights" of religion, or even Christians... because of course, GTAV will bring you to rape, but the bible will always need to be respected... you cannot draw assess or cameltoes, or tits, but you have the RIGHT to be Christian or Mouslim... SJWs LOGIC sic... (Actually is related and makes sense that this "SWJ" ahem PURITANs are afraid of this, as both religions are been always so afraid of the sexualized women´s image when greeks and romans had no problem in draw pennis or tits, very interesting...)
The bible, that fantastic book... but Spiderwoman is a crime!!!
http://biblehub.com/genesis/3-16.htm And this is the major and most ridiculous point on SWJs, they outrage for scientist pin-ups t-shirts, to scientist speaches about facts in the difference between genders, to artists and their freedom of create imaginary things, because at the end of the day all this movement is so "new age" and supertitious, so really written in the roots of a puritan society, no wonders real feminism get rotten by puritans too -
https://www.lagrange.edu/resources/pdf/citations/2011/10_Hall_History.pdf - so now comfortable numb in their iPads, with superpowerful tweets that they think change the world, and insulting or even bullying anyone different to them... if not at least insulting their intelligence with comparisons as "if you play GTA maybe you will finish killing people", stupidity has no limits, that is for sure.
I bet Anita Sarkesian, someone that OMG called police for "internet threats", such a damsel in distress... would NEVER be brave enough to risk her life for a real cause, having the f... big VAGINA to do this...

Radical feminism? if it is like the one in the last link YES, let´s go with it!!! but if being a "radical" feminist is to be concerned about Manara´s Spiderwoman or Pin Ups T-shirt and videogames characters our decadence is already far beyond my imagination ...
