Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Upvoting the selection of truly impactful comic books. Guess my collection is missing Saga. Thank you for that.

god i'm glad some part of that long rant landed for someone. it's so weird how on the internet effort, care, and thought are all punished

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

Hmm, honestly, I feel like that isn't necessarily the case and often connected to the audience, especially if such a comment is offtopic.

Personally I have felt that on Lemmy effort and care are very much appreciated. But there is a breaking point in regards to the insightfulness and the length of the comment. Like there needs to be at least X amount of new and interestimg information per paragraph.

Hey its me the internet, SHAME ON YOU for writing such a thoughtful comment.

You know, it isn't easy being me, I somehow have access to all the information on earth and yet I leave all the smart kind people in the world with sad surprised pikachu expressions on their faces!

What to do!

Then someone like you comes along with the nerve to write a cool comment and like bam all of a sudden the whole dead internet theory of corporate control over the media seems like a bunch of powerful people giving up their power to control the commons in an a hilarious strategic miscalculation that assumed killing the lights wouldn't make the person with the crank up flashlight the most popular person in the room.

How DARE you. Whatever you do don't keep writing really interesting and cool comments like this and definitely don't link to more interesting sources and articles people can read if they find it interesting.

STOP IT... no I told you to STOP DOING THAT

i haven't forgot about you. i just got home. i'll send some shit tomorrow

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

you i like. i'm moving house today, but after that i'll try to put together a list of resources for learning comic books, graphic novels, and street art. unfortunately most of my understanding comes from word of mouth and physical books and articles, so a lot of what i just shared is just shit i've picked up through the years. but you can definitely start with comic tropes on youtube. that guy makes comics and comic history really approachable. personally i think he's at his best when he's covering a silver age artist or an artist from somewhere other than NYC
