I don’t mean to be passive-aggressive, animations are really hard (especially to produce on game-wide scale alone), but I love those in-sync doggos, choreographed tails like they are about to start a (good-)boy band.
Oh, yes, kinda.
IASP has (imho) a positive comment on issues, highlighting them, in the ‘let’s benefit society with this work’ kind of way.
Drawn Together doesn’t attempt to make a better world with it’s impact.
Ofc (and by definition) one is better than the other.
But I don’t think any bad thing should ever be a taboo.
If someone wants a racists in their work (it doesn’t even need to be a comedy), that’s fine, they were and are people like that. Its not arts job to tell/educate you about how bad things are bad (tho it doesn’t hurt), as long as it doesn’t hype them as absolutely good (ie propaganda-ish/as a commercial).
But let’s bring Hitler into the convo, that’s always fun - I do think its really bad how Adolfy (and Nazi Germany) became a sort of one dimensional meme in modern culture/knowledge, overly simplifying such a thing is bad af, those were people doing people things & we need to have a basic understanding of that.
Mr Ham being racists is still good for the knowledge how that is a person/character, how that sounds out loud, how that sounds a bit like your neighbour/politician/company/laws/traditions/etc.
So, Drawn Together imho still highlights issues by putting them into your thoughts, but it does not do a PSA about it (nothing actually bad happens to any of them as a ‘moral story to learn from’, even the moral stories there are an intentional joke, and consequences for other people aren’t much more that a sidenote). Not that IASIP does a lot of that, but consequences are a bit more obvious (but not life-changing for the main chars).
My fly is just realistic, can’t judge it for that.
Its all pain and suffering, and feasting on a pile of shit as a highlight of it all.
Yeah, they (the showrunners) used incredibly bad stuff to produce humour (well).
And I’ve heard that ‘the show didn’t age well’ but (iirc) the show absolutely at all times (with no doubt at all) portrayed all those characters as horrible.
At no point was shaming-vagina tentacles presented as the morally right thing. If the jokes they did with that arent funny to you, sure, that’s legit, but if they were funny to you but aren’t anymore “bcs the times changed” that just means that you were wrong back then & now grown up, and you prob liked the shaming, not the jokes.
Its like anti-lgbt stuff in recent history - it’s not that 100 years ago being a bigot was any less horrible than now, the only difference is that now it might ‘inconvenience you’.
Its like people saying that It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia characters “might be bad” … you fucked up if you idolise them just because they are main characters, if you can’t comprehend how bad they are (even tho they make it extremely obvious at all times) and how bad the lives of everyone around them make. Its like the whole point of a setup like that. None of them are anti- or edgy- heroes, they just suck.
I don’t think Drawn Together was like Family Guys Quagmires rapey jokes & deeds (that was his whole character for most of the shows run) that were always presented as “cool” & macho - that didn’t “age badly”, it was bad & horrible all along.
And mass murderers with superpowers (Drawn Together, not The Boys) that indiscriminately and selfishly hurt absolutely everyone … well, racism of those chars prob isn’t the core issue or propaganda.
And racism, shaming, etc, they exist. That’s just a fact. And you can make fun of anything.
Its what Louis-Dreyfus is saying with ‘“woke” culture isn’t killing or limiting comedy’, it doesn’t (the context of that is that Seinfeld is bitching how anti-sexism is limiting (his) comedy, lul).
Every time Bundai Namco flashbangs you someone at the office has to throw party. They are just s victim of their own success.
I want all of them to live together in one big house, reality TV style!!
… it appears there are mockups:

Yeah, wtf, what did Linux ever do to the great furry community sys admins?
Our group is still fully on Windows all the things (except like two virtual servers), desktops all run W10.
I will again plead in this years strategy to not upgrade to W11, if for nothing else ‘moral reasons’.
I’ll be the only one tho.
Yeah, task switching in general kinda works for me sometimes, it makes no difference to me how (un)desired the task is. Even tasks I enjoy are hard for me.
Yeah, this explanation makes the most sense to me.
Just a generalisation that “good at computers” is a programmer. So no Apple programmers :P (joking ofc)
Yes, a power tinkerer!
And if something needs to be programmed (or just coded, bcs copypasta), then that’s what’s gonna happen.
If IT won’t accommodate my ticket in the way I want Im just gonna write another ticket for access rights.
Yes.
And there is absolutely no way a neurotypical person can comprehend that.
That’s why a crisis (a “stressful situations” by normies definitions) calms us down and/or we continue to function normally. And normies just panic. And even when it’s obvious to us what is best to do next, we have to wait for them to calm tf down to even understand what we are saying. But by then the advantage is lost.
(“Oh, so we are going with the plan I proposed and detailed in an email last week but this time is “your” idea?” … :|)
Yes, every day.
The only hopes are:
… Potato Drug Academy …
I was not explaining my logic nor my beliefs, just describing my smol sample (introvert!), as a btw fun fact.
But I was under the impression that there is no distinguishable difference between which OSs use programmes vs non-programmers (and the other way around).
Perhaps bcs I fail to se any specific connection between the two. But yes, my logic would be that both types use and are used by both to roughly the same extent.
(Haha, exactly same experience with relatives - forced them on Linux, never had anything non-trivial to fix since then.)
Wait … is there a perception (or reality?) that most Linux users are programmers?
I’m an introvert, but all programmers I know use Windows (and badly in the sense they aren’t power users).
This one rally hurt me, such a huge emotional drag, so little understanding, such hopeless situation.
Yes, that works too, same principle.
With lil white gloves & socks.
And a Batman mask.
