It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

every single descriptor for "good art" makes the most sense if you're thinking it's talking about porn lmao. i wonder if the author would agree?

What is "bulletproof coffee"? Is it just some fascist coffee company or something else?

mister OLODBOOKSGUY i was using your very helpful guide to sort the bad art from the good art, when something funny happened. I said a piece was bad art that enfeebled my canon until it produced stagnation. But my freind said it was a good map that hinted at structured and rhythmic forgotten values. We can't both be right, can we?

Hayao Miyazaki vs Junji Ito is my favorite meme too, but you don't see me going around generalizing it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I think this does a disservice to Miyazaki. He's a snob and you can criticize the writing quite easily, but he at least appreciates the connection of animation to one's experience of life rather than as an abstract exercise in pleasant stimulation.

A seething, unstructured, arythmic thing that made you feel weird, sapped your energy, set off a downward spiral, confused your mind, spat on beauty, mocked the very concept of values and enfeebled life itself? That is not bad art. That is a Great Old One.

A malevolently bad map

I don't like those Balkanization fantasy maps either.

Do they consider the abstract artists who were backed by the CIA art? That's really the main thing this makes me curious about.

ART CANNOT BE QUANTIFIED. Whatever joyless turd made this chart needs their soul examined.
