badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

I think, overall, it's less bad than some other stuff dealing with the same issues, but there's a few things that stick out to me.

First, the rabbit just fucking steals the entire show. He's so good that I end up just hating any moment screen time doesn't include him. There's moments where you're expected to feel some sympathy for other characters and once the rabbit's backstory is revealed, I only feel hate for them, Dante included. I don't know what they'll do to keep people engaged next season because that character is gone and what's left is a bunch of assholes, relatively boring ones at that.

Second, it's hard not to see some equivalence with Israel and that's probably intended. I think their messaging is a little muddled and both sidesy when it comes to this subject though. Demons are all assumed to be universally evil and then it's revealed that's not true and most are just regular people trying to survive. But they're trying to survive the oppression of other demons (before they have to start dealing with humans anyways), and its hard not to see that as some metaphor for the evil Hammas vs the innocent civilians. Or is the rabbit supposed to be Hammas? Idk, that's what I mean by muddled.

Third, the exposition in the beginning is just ... terrible. Just bad. The way things are explained, how the story is set up, it just takes you out of the story and makes you ask "how tf does this person know all this and why are they just saying it all".

Fourth, 3d animated demons in a 2d animated show.

I will give it to the show that their portrayal of America as warmongering and bloodthirsty is pretty good though, lots of "America bad" messaging which I can always get behind.

Bad posting because this is low effort analysis.

Edit: also it was really funny that Trump was the president and Biden was the vice president and Biden didn't have alzheimers and was an extremely devout Christian, very good bit.

I feel like the VP was a mix of every prominent US foreign policy ghoul (Bush 1 and 2, Cheney, Kissinger, Biden, Reagan, Nixon, I'm sure there are others), you could include Netanyahu as well. The Americans just fucking suck, they get zero redeeming qualities.

I don't think it is supposed to be a 1 for 1 comparison with Israel and Palestine. It's more general for refugees and victims of America's MIC there is alot of them.

My only complaint is that Dante is kind of sidelined in this show and he didn't kill enough demons. Also Lady is so different from her game portrayal they might as well have made her an original character.

It had 9/11, followed by the forever war in the middle east vibes as well.
