It is a parody, or at least an Angry Video Game Nerd-style invented character.

goose fleet posted:It's almost like people want to chill out and listen to something simple and fun instead of dense political word salad littered with standard counter-culture stock phrases like "corporate America" set to a basic AABBCC rhyme scheme Reminds me how Goldfinger was starting to get big after fun rock-pop songs like Here in Your Bedroom and Superman started getting mild play, then decided to come out with one of the worst political albums I've ever heard. Have heard literally nothing from them since. When I was younger, I'd look for validation in my beliefs, especially in punk music. The music was usually sacrificed on the altar of the message, but it made me feel important, so I dealt with it. Then I remember hearing The Dillinger Four's first album that had some pretty great lyrics that didn't explicitly spell out a vapid, shadowboxing opinion on an issue, and the music was still energetic and catchy. I used to own The Exploited and Anti-Flag albums

Yeah, but we've already got gun fetishists who're hoping that happens anyway so they can be good guy with gun and eliminate the threat and suffer no remorse over killing someone because that's the kinda thing you just shove off like a soccer ball to the chest.

Zombie media is all exactly the same. Someone recognizes person they love, won't kill. Someone (possibly the character in question) dies because of this. Everyone is sad.

RareAcumen posted:What doesn't? I find the ethnic characteristics of monsters to be really fascinating. Dracula is traditionally coded as being ethnically Jewish, zombies are associated initially with voodoo religions (though recently it's become much more about how our urbanized society is so packed with people that if everyone turned against you, you would have no chance, regardless of race), Lovecraft's monsters were all based loosely around his general sense of paranoia regarding immigrants in Brooklyn being scarier than they seemed outwardly... Thankfully, the more we recycle these, the less we keep of the original ethnic fears. The one about zombie advocates is probably meant to relate to (by the people sharing it, not so much by the parody character that created it) the way many people are supporting Syrian refugees when ISIS is also Syrian and is an enemy that might as well be a zombie for how much they want to destroy things without purpose. Anyway, this is on the front page and it struck me because the title of the image is really bizarre: http://imgur.com/gallery/81SaUPt This Charmander tattoo is apparently among the best things posted on imgur this year (I actually kind of like this one):  This self-congratulatory douche is just out for upvotes, and people are more-than-happy to give them: http://imgur.com/gallery/vTac0jK Other than that, imgur is surprisingly lacking in terrible memes right now.

Solice Kirsk posted:It's probably more so because Dracula sucked the blood out of humans and Jews suck the fun out of Saturdays. Bram Stoker's characterization of Dracula is an Eastern European guy with dark skin who has a long, hooked nose, is rich, is very protective of his money, and hangs around with gypsies (i.e. other Eastern European thieves who also don't have a stable home). It isn't hard to read that as a stereotypical Jew (especially for an Irish writer who wouldn't have necessarily known exact details about Romania, where Transylvania is) and the tale as a whole about a fear of blood mixing. There are certainly other critiques though - some would say Dracula represents a fear of women becoming sexually empowered and running off with another man. Also, I may be wrong on this so you may feel free to correct me, but I believe the the reference to Dracula and Turkey is related to Dracula fighting a Turkish count and winning his name there or something similar, and is more likely a reference to the story of Vlad the Impaler, from whom inspiration for Dracula is derived. Your Computer posted:Isn't there a thing where racist gun nuts substitute "zombie" for "black people" and make shooting targets and stuff? I remember hearing about that somewhere, and it makes this a lot less funny There was a Trayvon Martin gun target for sale at one point, which was a target of a person but in a hoodie and with a bag of Skittles peeking out of the pocket. I would not be surprised if they sold "zombie" shooting targets that also had hoodies or were otherwise clearly meant to allude to black people.

When this was originally posted the "story" was that the tattoo artist was terrible and did an unexpectedly hilarious rendition of a charmander, everyone involved was surprised, hilarity ensued. As ever, this wasn't actually the case, in reality it was a (poor and uncredited) rendering of a piece from a fan art series "pokemon as drawn by Tim Burton", and other than being very badly tattooed, looked pretty much as intended

This is hell of off-topic, but I've never heard the "Dracula is a Jewish metaphor" interpretation before, and I'd like to know more. Do you happen to have any links hanging around? And yeah, Dracula says of his family that "to us for centuries was trusted the guarding of the frontier of Turkey-land" and that a few of his ancestors won glory fighting the Turks. Dracula describes himself as Transylvanian.

They had shooting range targets of 'zombies' all curiously dressed in huge baggy jeans and tilted baseball caps that they seemed to enjoy shooting at a wee bit too much. *what? I ain't proud.

I googled around a bit because I first heard the interpretation offered in undergrad, and my vampire-obsessed professor (who I guess I should say was Jewish herself, so she doesn't sound like a Stormfront member) explained it well but didn't have any articles of her own to show it. This article in particular charts how vampires became more and more similar, visually, to caricatures of Jews, and looks at Dracula and Nosferatu. Here is a different, well-put-together article from a Jewish website that goes into the same kind of evidence and looks at the historical context for Jews in the time period. Here's an excerpt from a book by a Ph.D. on the subject. Jerry Cotton posted:Jesus gently caress how ignorant can a person be? That is literally ILUMENARTI CONFRIMED level poo poo. Content:  http://imgur.com/gallery/ON56JIG  http://imgur.com/gallery/yQHWU This man is not "femenistic" and he is a "right wing, gun loving conservative who also happens to be a cop" who is posting his own selfie in defiance of the "sluts" who make it to the front page all the time.

Imgur is really, really weird about boobs. Pictures of hot celebrities or cosplayers showing cleavage get a lot of upvotes. Pictures of women doing anything get "show us your boobs." Women showing their own boobs get downvoted and called attention whores. As far as I can tell they're pro-boob as long as it doesn't result in a woman feeling good.
