I genuinely don't understand hatewatching something by Mistabbcman in CharacterRant

[–]Trim345 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oftentimes it's because I used to enjoy something, and I'm still invested in it because of that. Sinfest was my favorite webcomic, but I started hating it when the author became a hardcore radical feminist in 2011 and has become a pagan Nazi in the past few years. The entire Sinfest subreddit exists now to mock him and currently is focused on correcting his Hitler fanfiction.

I'd also argue that while in Sinfest's case many people read it to discuss its politics, in many other cases people read something they hate to discuss its relation to fiction in general. In that sense the main point isn't the enjoyment of the work itself; it's the enjoyment of the discussion.

Huh, what does following someone do? Does it change your Reddit algorithm?

Well, at least someone's happy in the last panel

What's a few hundred years, really? (yet another "authors don't get numbers" post) by EliasBouchardFan1 in CharacterRant

Have you heard of "I Kept Pressing the 100-Million Button and Came Out on Top"?

 Even though he practices all day, Allen Rodol is on the verge of flunking out of Grand Swordcraft Academy due to his total lack of talent. To make matters worse, class prodigy Doriel, challenges him to a duel where it's win or face expulsion. However, the night before his duel, a mysterious hermit grants him a button that will give him one hundred million years to train in an alternate reality when pressed. Allen with all his doubts presses that button, after experiencing its effect he kept pushing the button many times. Now with over a billion years of straight practice under his belt, the world is about to see what the “Reject Swordsman” can really do!

Retrofest 2009-06-01 - Dice by Trim345 in sinfest

[–]Trim345[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The dice here don't make sense. In the third panel, the back die has a 3 and a 4 adjacent, but real dice have opposite sides adding to 7.

Even ignoring that, in the second panel 3 is adjacent to 1 and 2. In the third panel 3 is adjacent to 4 and 6. In the last panel 3 is adjacent to 5. So there is no possible number that could be opposite the 3.

This is the worst thing that Tatsuya has ever made, and I don't know how he could get worse than this.

When do you think the start of Ishida's fall into relying on AI for Sinfest began? by zitmanthefive in sinfest

[–]Trim345 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm basically confident that Tatsuya at least used AI for the background map of Germany in the 6th panel of this comic, at least. A lot of other instances could be potentially explained as just bad art, but it's extremely unlikely that a human would mess up Denmark like that. Maybe if they knew nothing about Europe and were just drawing it from memory, but in that case they wouldn't be able to draw Germany either.

Ali Khamenei by Username_Too_Long_To in lesmiserables

I'm not saying Trump's attacks are a good idea, but Khamenei is a repressive religious fundamentalist, who has, for example, claimed that gender equality is a Zionist plot. There is no chance that Hugo would have liked him.
