Also yes, SFW [ish] OGLAF, it happens.

This seems like very standard and expected Oglaf material. Though I haven't kept up in the last many years. I think it seems based because webcomics have become personal diatribes of extremely shitty politics and attempts to win the twitter arguments they lost yesterday in comic form. Like watching any movie before 2018 now, it's all so shockingly alien in its normalcy.
Whatever happened to the one where the loss meme came from? I remember reading that until that point and just dropping it.
Ctrl+Alt+Del ? My impression from, goodness, 10 years ago, was that he was already insane then. He'd fight with his audience, his co-creators, himself. Loss itself was a meme largely because of the creator's ego telling him he was a narrative genius and trying to subvert his own comedic comic for poorly executed drama shit nobody wanted to see.
I never liked it, so I never followed the creator too closely, but I have a vague sense in my memory that he was annoyingly political too (I have no specific fact for this and I didn't look into it before replying here). With the name, you should be able to check into it (some also shorten it as CAD).
That one, yes. I was so turned off by the loss story. It had nothing to do with games, it was just dumb and over the top. Never really follow any creators really so I dunno how much of cunt someone is politically unless they make it obvious.
CAD ended with Ethan being taken to the future by his future self to warn that the second robot he built as a companion to Zeke would return and cause a robot uprising and apocalypse.
However it all turns to shit because the surviving humans know it's all Ethan's fault so when they see the past version they capture him not realising it's the wrong one. Future Ethan can't really free his past self so attempts to go back though the time portal he originally created to fix things but gets shot in the head and killed just before he manages to enter the portal. Portal then goes batshit crazy, possibly because nobody is regulating it anymore, and past Ethan, who is now free, attempts to stop it exploding.
Ethan is never seen again.
His best friend eventually has a kid who he names after Ethan, and Lilah, Ethan's gf and the girl in the Loss comic
:.|:;, has to move on with her life as a pro gamer girl since Ethan managed one final fuck up and removed himself from his own timeline.It's not the same kind of stupidity as Loss but it was certainly a dumpsterfire of its own.
There have been a number of mass global mask-off watersheds in media in the last few decades. The early 2000's Olympics (suddenly the color Green was political). The 2008 Election (not Democrat? RACIST). The 2014 GamerGate scandal (no parenthesis needed). These were all accelerating and building from each other. But the beginning of the current peak of frothing, savage, unhinged political carpet bombing was the 2016 Election.
They built directly on the 2008 Democrat election tactic of creating a victim class, creating a golden icon of that class, raising it on a standard and demanding your worship and deference under pain of the sword. Their victory was a fait accompli and their defeat shook them right down to their shoes. They became "deranged" as we often point out and worked tirelessly and illogically with cultish single-mindedness to reassert their domination of culture and themselves as rightful determiners of human civilization's destiny.
This enabled them any measure and abolished any restraint. The "flyover" class stopped being rabble beneath them, but instead became their enemy to be crushed and paved over. Their friends in every form of media dutifully joined the holy crusade and self-righteously converted their entertainment channels into propaganda chutes.
Shitty Woke media has always been with us. But after 2018 it was literally all that was allowed to exist at any level, and all concerns of profit or viability vanished before the righteousness of their cause.
Wait, what’s that about the Olympics..??I don’t get that bit, lol…
I don't recall the specific Olympics, but NBC was the American affiliate and it was wall to wall Green everything. "Green" as a type of thing was introduced to the collective culture and pushed obsessively starting then. During the opening ceremonies the news anchor in charge had the gall to stage them 'dimming' the lights in their studio to save energy to be more Green. He also had the complete lack of self-awareness to declare that the saved wattage by just dimming those studio lights for the (only 10 minute!) segment was the equivalent of an entire year of a normal American household electricity usage saved. Begging the question of what in hell "Green" is if it would take a mortal man a year of living like a Luddite to compare to 10 minutes of the lights being on in a TV studio.
I did a little searching but came up empty for a clip of this, but I would really appreciate anyone who could find it.
To my memory "Green" as a product category label was not widespread and certainly not a synonym for "Carbon Offset" as it came to mean rapidly thereafter. It was an institutional media blitz that lasted years and I watched it progress through everything. Grocery store items, car accessories, fucking bedsheets. From that point and for many years after "Green" had to be on the box somewhere or you were part of the problem.
Did it fix his knees, though?
He still had to get knee-pads.
Inb4 cancelled.
Why on earth would someone be cancelled for affirming the ruling class propaganda that the victims of a feminized culture are actually closet perverts?
This falls into the “if there was a magical potion to change you to the other gender, would you take it”…
Some of them probably would, some of them wouldn’t (see Quora), at least partly because then they lose the “privileged specialness” of being trans…
So yeah. It’s not necessarily about “being the other gender”, for some, it’s about enforcing the “trans women are women” delusion, and all that, on us all… 🤷🏻♂️
The only political takeways here are the recognition that your self-image problem actually will be in your own head.
The problem with transgenderism is that you'll never get to the hot babe stage. You just stay in the hellish blob stage. Best you can be is like the Thai Lady Boys who are merely good cross dressers. But if you did that, how would all of those surgeons working at Boston Children's Hospital be able to afford their boat payments from unnecessary phaloplasties?
Panel 9, she's got a really twisted fetish.
I've seen worse kinks...
SFW stands for Safe For Work, which isn't the same as "non-nude."
But did his knees stop hurting?
It's a fetish. It's ALWAYS been a fetish.
Keep regurgitating your enemy's propaganda.
It's projection. Lesbianism is a fetish, not a sexuality. It doesn't deserve protection.
I mean, his specific complaint is about knees, not about “maleness”, so I gather he was more interested in the idea of “rebirth” than anything else…
But I guess that would be reading too much into this, really. 🤷🏻♂️
