Except for that time where he did become an anime so he could review the Pokemon movies with Suede and Jew Wario and JesuOtaku. Coincidentally, Linkara also sperged out in one of those videos about how super dark and scary Pokemon was because of the subtext behind some of the games' features.

can you please elaborate on the bad political opinions of a person who reviews comics (?) and anime (?) and also becomes an anime sometimes? I think you can mention that he has them but only if you also mention what they are.

His old webcomic is a real treasure-trove of political and sociological insight; it's a shame that it never got a proper thread here.

However, that's not what makes him special. What makes him special is that on a world full of magic, heroes, and evil, Louis is a prophesized hero called the 'Linkara' and is destined to defeat a great Darkness, fight off an army of Dark Knights, and end a 300-year war by using an armor that was imbued by angels. How does Louis react to the news? Only one word sums it up: groovy.

My favourite bit in The Communist Manifesto was when Marx addressed the "community of women" thing which capitalists kept trying to insist was a thing. Because communism makes the instruments of production available for exploitation by all, that includes women, right? The answer couldn't possibly be doing away with the status of women as instruments of production!

I want to suspect that may have been Fredrich Engels who wrote that, although Marx probably had a similar mind. Engels' "Origins Of The Family, Private Property, and The State" talks about the "world historic defeat of the female sex", where early tribal man discovered that women could make more humans and that more people meant more labor and more military strength, stripping women of their agency in their tribal community and condemning them to be baby factories for most of human history.

It could well have been Engels! I always forget that he did write some of the Manifesto. Either way they were both very big on feminism/feminists were very big on Marxism and lolbertarians are incredibly bad at projecting their own sexual insecurities onto them.

You're making the assumption that they are confused and don't believe women are property, and thus owned by the state. Unlike in libertopia where you can own a woman of you're own. It's not an uncommon belief in libertarians that women are beholden to men for security and are de-facto property of the men who protect them.

Out of boredom, I looked up the TV Tropes page for some Naruto fanfiction that I remember I liked back when I was a thirteen year old who liked Naruto fanfiction (Team 8, for the curious). At one point, a character apparently does something that defies the actual Naruto canon. Some troper felt the need to point out that this is not how the technique works in the series. They feel the need to point this out every time the canon violation is mentioned. No less than six times. I don't know whether somebody couldn't stand their favourite character getting beaten in fanfiction, of all things, or just a bad case of the sperg, but it really underscores just how banal and stupidly spergy everything on TV Tropes is.

According to this academic resource, One Hundred Years of Solitude is "famous among other things for using every conceivable trope one could ever hope to fit in 28.8 oz of paper." Mauricio is the Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Meme is the Type B Tsundere, and there are several Hikkimori who work alone as artisans and Remedios the Beauty is an Innocent Fanservice Girl. Clearly Gabriel Garcia-Marquez was a proto-troper! http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/OneHundredYearsOfSolitude

Tracula posted:Linkara is usually okay when he just sticks straight to complaining about comics but he has the typical reviewer storyline which, ironically, plays out like a really lovely comic and he plays it completely straight. I always got the impression that wasn't an attempt to tell a story himself, but to indulge in all the cliches and goofiness he could cram into it. I never met the guy, but I'm fairly sure if I asked him he'd just laugh it off as silliness he indulges in that others like because it pushes the same buttons in their brains, rather than An Actual Story With Merit. At least, I sure hope he would.

Nah, he occasionally talks about his beliefs briefly on videos and stuff, but isn't really a funny Libertarian, just mildly dorky. He seems like an OK guy, just a lovely writer with no nuance or subtlety, so he ends up making stuff that makes him look more extreme, when I assume he's really just trying to make an unusual but obviously evil enemy for his beacons of heroism to battle. I don't get why people focus on his politics when his skits in his show are a lot more terrible.

I like how there's a whole bunch of people who hate the religious element because "ugh why did you have to base it on those religiots' Nicene Creed gently caress church" and one lonely poster whose problem is that it reinforces the site's cultiness. Actually scratch that; I like how that discussion is a distant second priority to arguing about Joss Whedon's importance both to media as a whole and to the website's rich and storied history.
