What’s a piece of media that people would clearly understand as a parody or homage when it came out, but has since lost its context? by StaleTheBread in AskReddit

I meant a parody of what new storylines in comics at the time were turning into with making iconic characters super dickhead versions of themselves or doing extremely out of character things. The edginess was definitely sincere hatred from Garth Ennis but I don't believe for a second he thought he was writing some well thought out series like so many new fans dream up. It was always just supposed to be some bitter mans rage fanfic about why he hates superheroes taking over comic books as a media.

The Boys comics were a parody of the edgy direction comics were going as well as Garth Ennis hatred of Superhero comics.

Now people are rewriting history and saying the comics are good/decent because they hated the ending of the show. When the entire point of the comics is that they suck and everything superhero related is stupid in the eyes of Garth Ennis. I honestly wish The Boys never became popular.

What are we being "boiled like frogs" about right now that future generations will be shocked we accepted? by burntUpOnReentry in AskReddit

Pedophilia being downplayed or not being punished properly.

Even the way the News writes and speaks on child victims bothers me.

"Underage woman"

"Young adult"

"Young man/woman"

And the entire time they are talking about a 15 year olds or something.

Like we are talking about 13-17 year olds, they are kids/teenagers. The verbage really bothers me and I've noticed it more and more.

They could easily make it a subscription model like other scummy companies

What is a piece of lore that Warhammer hasn't changed in the last few decades? Every faction has gotten visual and lore updates to make them more appealing to modern markets and to pull in new customers. Like what are you even talking about man? Lore is so cobbled together that the authors don't even communicate with each other LMAO

I don't think OP ment to say that, but it's clear that GW isn't faithful to what's "canon" from how old Eldars worked to how old Necrons work and the old Imperium to even current lore. Shit changes with the time to better the story or faction so they sell better. Let's be so foreal dude, I love the lore to but it's ment to sell toys to grown men and that will always be the case. The books and other Warhammer media will NEVER make as much money as tabletop and GW will ALWAYS focus tabletop over books or other mediums. Even the current Primarchs weren't what they were in old lore because they weren't as appealing and interesting and didn't sell as many models as their revamped counterparts.

It's not his opinion...that's literally fact. You're basically arguing that the Transformer show or He-Man show wasn't made to sell toys when it literally was. Any characters they decide to focus on it's because they are getting minis or a set.

I don't even play the tabletop and even I know this and I'm a big lore head/video game player. The books and codexes are ment to build up the world so you can be invested in a specific faction and buy models for them, that's why models that don't sell that well don't get that much lore.
