For context that poster has promoting and defending a FD Signifier video in the thread so the reveal that it was all a reverse whiteknight (black knight?) scheme is a hilarious twist.

I've never watched f d signifier so I don't know what that means, it was just funny that he went straight to "AOT is pro genocide propaganda" and then that wrinkle about him got revealed


E: oh poo poo lol I remember him posting the exact same poo poo in the aot thread way back too, including that dumb meme image

Online creators is not so bad anymore, like, it used to be hella bad to the point people would joke about it in thread (the thread title was "0 days since the last meltdown" at one point), but for some reason it has chilled out. Either the most aggro posters have been banned for other things on the forums, or people finally got tired talking about random Youtubers getting cancelled.

they were one of the people pushing that completely made up kotaku arguing point that AoT is fascist because

1. one of the characters is based off some Japanese military guy (who they claim was in WW2 but he died before it even started lol)

2. some guy on twitter who drew fanart of AoT said some weird racist nationalist stuff, so this clearly is the alt of the author (?)

Yeah it was just, people would come out swinging for no reason, I don't even remember the subjects that set it off most of the time. For some reason the meltdown I remember is someone getting very intensely weird about the C-list video game youtuber Angry Joe (who is Puerto Rican), because if he lived in Mexico (which he does not) he would be a privileged lightskin and be a racist piece of poo poo?

I know nothing at all about AoT but I read something saying it had a group of people who were very analogous to jews that one of the big reveals was that they did a bunch of awful poo poo and actually deserved to be oppressed, but I have no idea if any of that is really true.

it's a really bad faith reading of the series. the reality is the author got really clumsy with the jew analogue stuff as the series went on which can look bad without context but when major themes of the work is about how revenge does nothing but gently caress everyone over and the cyclical nature of violence i just cannot see the "author thinks the jews are evil' stuff as accurate at all

The thing that complicates this is that the main characters all belong to the Jewish analogue and the series is from their perspective. I don't think Attack on Titan is really a grand takedown (or endorsement) of fascism, it's basically that Simpsons episode "It's just a bunch of stuff that happened" but the stuff is genocide, but I do think people either deliberately leave parts like that out for the worst possible reading, or they're just going off a wiki summary of the series and don't realize how things are framed (like that the series is not actually about killing all the titans).

I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop
Video games were invented to bring humanity closer together. They were supposed to bridge all gaps and unite hearts and minds but instead we yell at disabled people when they kick our asses.

the argument in the OC thread was that ultimately it's apologetic about literal genocide, when it is blatantly shown that it accomplishes nothing good. like, eren activating essentially The Nukes results in a temporary half-century of peace for his people followed by the rest of the world uniting against them and eventually his home nation being bombed into the stone age

it's basically the Starship Troopers problem, where if you are unable to read past even the thinnest of veneers you'll completely miss the message. but yeah, isayama definitely fumbled some of the messaging, though I think he got the point across to most people. War Bad, Fascism Bad

it's more that anyone descended from a specific empire from like a thousand years ago was considered a lesser being and shoved into literal concentration camps, used as expendable soldiers, exploited in basically every way while treated as subhuman.

It's insane to me that people can look at some of the panels in the last chapter showing some of the characters horrified at the nationalistic chanting of the other people and still think the series is saying it's good lol.

Imo AoT has some weirdly strong inspiration from Dune, although it can get spoilery to explain exactly how. But along with that come some attempts at grand statements about society, politics and humanity, some clumsy poo poo in their execution, and some very fail misinterpretations by audiences about the point of it all.

One of the funniest LTG bits is where he screams at Namco and Capcom because they won't let him screen exactly which online opponents he matches up with ahead of time instead of making him ragequit and lose rank points. He 100% thinks this is a reasonable thing to ask for and doesn't understand why they don't implement it. Like, he thinks this mechanic was some sort of oversight because they are stupid developers.
