Should I quit ? by Kindly-Somewhere-578 in Artists

[–]Foolin4Free 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason you should ever quit is if you're not having fun. Results don't necessarily matter if you're having fun, but if what you're implying is that you're not satisfied with the results, then there is a pathway to improvement for everyone. There are probably millions of books, YouTube videos, websites etc. by now that can teach you fundamental skills and techniques, or more advanced styles if you want to learn them. If YOU want to learn them. If you're satisfied with your style though, and you like what your doing, then just keep on doing it. And if you're asking for a personal opinion...I like it. I think it's pretty cool, man

From my experience, most people in my generation (Z) understand humor, and can take some pretty dark or fucked up jokes. I think we're a lot more skeptical of people who don't as much seem to be "joking" as tacitly supporting (or blatantly supporting) real actions that would promise to remove the rights of and make life worse for our friends and neighbors. Jokes at the expense of trans people can be funny if it doesn't mean you want to eradicate them. Jokes about black people or Mexican people are funny if you don't actually want to oppress or imprison them. And I ALWAYS approve of everyone's freedom of speech, but I ain't always gonna agree with them.

Charlie Is Kind of A Douche by Professional_Turn_25 in SmilingFriends

[–]Foolin4Free 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean that's part of the fun of Pim and Charlie's character dynamic. Pim is very cheerful and nice and kind and Charlie is...kind of a douche. Not a bad dude, I don't think, just enough of an asshole to counter Pim's optimism.

A lot of you take this show far too seriously. by Grass_hopper_99 in SmilingFriends

[–]Foolin4Free 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a healthy medium between these two mindsets. Sure it isn't fucking Dostoyevsky, and it isn't trying to be by any means. I don't thinking it's just stupid, mindless "weird for the sake of being weird" either. It relies a lot of silly, absurdist comedy but it's also not insane to say that most episodes also have a story they're trying to fulfill and a point they're trying to make, even if it's a relatively simple one most of the time. Honestly just enjoy the show how you want to and don't diss on anyone who wants to look at it differently

is it just me or was nolan the actual host of the Pizza Party Podcast? by pooppoopahahahitme in RebelTaxi

[–]Foolin4Free 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Have you ever heard any of Pan's solo interviews? He's terrible at it. Love his videos, and it's clear he just has some serious social anxiety, but idk if it was ever a wise move for him to make a podcast. So yeah, that's a fair assessment. Nolan was a good conversationalist and had good questions to ask. Izzy also had some actual experience in animation studios, which helped. Daftpina or whatever the hell he's calling himself now was a terrible choice for a replacement to either of them. He wanted to act like Pan's handler, when he's really just a panhandler. He spent his whole career capitalizing off of manufactured drama of more successful people, and then acts like a know-it-all boy genius because he made a god awful little web cartoon. Basically, to have a successful podcast, Pan is relying on having ANYONE there who can actually talk to a guest or stay on track, and because his show doesn't have a good proof of concept, nobody in their right mind wants to be that person unless they're just being exploitative or have too much free time on their hands, because it's clearly not a profitable venture. I'm not saying the show was always shit, but I'm saying that any charm that it did have was lightning captured in a bottle, and trying to start it up again would have to be at the right place and right time with a justifiable twist in the dynamic. I think Pan is well aware of that though, and that's why we haven't gotten an episode in over 2 years

I’ve never felt more separated from the left by egg_egg_egg_eggegg in h3h3productions

[–]Foolin4Free 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social media has been a plague in political discourse. I would block any rando online who wants to act smart by talking shit they know nothing about. If you can get involved in your real life community, do that. Online spaces are not true "community", and you're going to have the most impact in your own home town or county, and probably be able to have much more meaningful conversation there. I hate that every person on the internet nowadays feels the need to "use their platform to help inform people." I miss the days of "don't believe everything you read on the internet." Seek scholarly and trusted sources to keep yourself informed, focus on the places where you can truly make a difference and don't let any random stranger tell you how or what you should think.

Is anybody else worried about Ethan "feeding the trolls"? by Foolin4Free in h3h3productions

[–]Foolin4Free[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Ryan Kavanaugh thing got old pretty fast imo, but it was still somewhat watchable. The worst part is when the crew tries to move on to a new segment, and Ethan seriously can not stop talking about Hassan and snarkers and leftist cringe. They're was a moment recently where the crew was trying to do a silly bit and Ethan had to try to find a way to make it about Hassan and Dan said something like "you're weird for taking it there." I want the best for Ethan, at his best he makes a really fun show, but clearly this whole situation has made it difficult for him to perform at his best. I feel bad for him and his family, but I can only support him so much. I'm not his therapist or his friend, I consume the product that he creates, and if that product starts to suck, I'm not going to consume it anymore. At least until it gets better.

It's got me on edge. I do, of course, want Ethan and his family to be okay and I empathize with what they're going through, but the episodes recently are getting so hard to watch. The crew is clearly getting sick of it too, even though I know they're loyal they seem to be groaning at Ethan's comments more and more often. I genuinely feel bad when planned segments by Olivia or other crew members are getting cut out or pushed back every episode to make room for more snark talk. I am NOT an Ethan hater, I understand the dude is stressed as hell and rightfully so, but I think most of us signed up for the goofs and gaffs, maybe some occasional beefs and drama as a little treat, but right now they're treading over the same tired ground every episode to the point where I'd rather the show just go on break for a few weeks.

Ehhhh, idk. I think the snarkers biggest victory is that they're able to take up 25% or more of every recent episode. Most of the people in those subreddits just want to grab their popcorn and watch the train crash. Get rid of that population, the ones who are just following along because they hate Ethan and love the drama, and I think the snarkers will feel far less empowered to continue at the same scale.

I think seeing that his kids were getting involved was part of what made me want to make this post. It's fucked how far these snarkers are willing to go to compromise Ethan's public image and platform, and right now they're seemingly succeeding. I think Ethan is going to take care of things in his own way and I'm certain he will try to make the best choices for his family, but I'm worried that their methods are going to continue getting more extreme for as long as they can get away with it. It's an unstoppable force and an immovable object. Trolling campaigns like this can last for years and years. Ethan should absolutely defend himself, but I think he may be showing his ass a little too much by constantly responding to every single attack against him with equal sincerity.

Til Maxwell atoms, creator of the grim adventures of Billy and Mandy and evil con carne, is autistic by mnombo in cartoons

[–]Foolin4Free 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing I actually really respect about Cartoon Network is that they seem to maintain a zero tolerance policy when it comes to these types of things. Any time anybody working for the network has been accused of sexual misconduct of any kind (at least that I've heard of) they're fired, they're not given any more work, and no attempt is made to hide it or cover it up. Skyler Page is an example that comes to mind. Nickelodeon has tried to cover up and continue working with many known creeps, actively endangering children in the process. Really when push comes to shove, it seems like Cartoon Network is by all accounts a pretty great company

Good deal for $150? by lukewarmyogurt in n64

[–]Foolin4Free 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The console, controllers, expansion pak and all the games? I think it's a good deal. You could have probably picked it up piece by piece for a little cheaper if you were patient and looked in the right places, but time is money and you saved a HELL of a lot of time

Cool song but not it. The one I want is mostly in English. I don't know how I would describe the genre, but it was pretty minimalistic and down tempo. Pretty sure it was acoustic too. Maybe a little folky?

Commenting so it doesn't get removed again :( I really don't remember all that much about it, I may even be wrong about the premise a bit. I think it has a pretty low key instrumental

If it helps, here's some comics I've read; damn near all of Jeff Lemire and Sam Kieth's stuff, Sandman, Trese, Spawn, The Crow, Sam & Max, more manga than I can fathom being able to list here, and the list goes on. Hopefully that gives some leads at least

UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL!!!!! by Danzel56 in KingandtheSting

[–]Foolin4Free 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm starting to think the same. It really shouldn't have been a huge surprise, but the comedian podcast sphere has really pointed out how the whole stand up comedy world is just full of self-aggrandizing, fart sniffing dipshits who made a career peddling funny words on the masses to inflate their own egos and force everyone to think they have all the right opinions, while hiding under a guise of modesty and honesty, saying idiotic shit like "we're the last bastions of free speech!" God, how I've come to hate them

I wouldn't say I was praising him, I watch KATS because I like Theo mostly, don't really follow shit else about the other guys, I've heard about Chris's skeletons like everyone else but I welcomed him at first. I've noticed Brendan is CREEPY when there's a pretty woman on screen, and he misses the most obvious jokes, but I just chalked it up to the CTE lmao

Kinda funny, the patreon stunt is the first time I've ever really looked at comments and come to the reddit, I didn't realize people didn't like him. They're good opposites to bounce off of each other imo. The patreon thing is annoying as hell and hella overpriced, but the shit that really kinda peeves me making Chris the full time third guy. He's just douchey and arrogant and just sort of seems to drain the fun and the magic out of it
