Especially if you dedicate your time to the actual study of Marx and Lenin and make leftism more than just a contrarian personality trait. Now go outside!

Yeah, being "well-adjusted" in a sick society is not the flex they think it is.

Forgot where i read that, but i know it was on here so fidel-salute

[–] IzyaKatzmann@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

Was it:

"It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society."?

[–] RedDawn@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

I also once read, “what does it mean to be a productive member of society, when the society is evil?”

I mean yeah most of the early bolsheviks were a bunch of weird college student nerds who were constantly writing strongly worded letters to each other.

Okay, I'll stop being the hot personification of a country effective immediately

[–] ElGosso@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did you make this whole post just to complain about the thing we all complained about already?

[–] threebody@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

it was more an afterthought

[–] SunriseParabellum@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm a big hairy dude and I frequently go out far more scantily clad than any of those ladies.

[–] Othello@hexbear.net 47 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

dude leftist make me so uncomfortable with this shit. like I hate that i always feel like I have to cover up when i go to dsa meetings (psl people are cool) or else someone will leer at my body. some people look like that picture and these thread make me so uncomfortable. I always feel like the comments they make on the drawings bodies are comments on my body (they arent I know). idk just makes me so upset, im constantly being sexualized (and touched without consent) by everyone all the time, if i show an inch of skin people see it as an invitation to make crude comments or say im "Looking for attention" like no I just have huge tits and ass IM SORRY (I DONT EVEN WANT TO LOOK LIKE THIS). I understand that half of this is projection I just wanted to vent.

Oh no, that's awful and sucks. I'm just saying I find it weird people considered the above image "overly sexualized" in the first struggle session. I mean yes all those women are conventionally attractive but they're not really dressed in a way that would be unusual to see during the summertime.

[–] Othello@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

its a red flag for me personally, it makes me think they are gonna treat me the same way for wearing normal summer clothes. and thank you comrade, for your response and letting me vent ♥️

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

You can find more scantily clad ladies by just browsing Kmart or any other online store lmao

Art, especially cartooning, is founded on abstraction. The majority of details are discarded, only a small few remain. What details are or are not included is one of the most fundamental elements of interpreting a cartoon as a piece of art. Russia, as always, is the easiest example here. Look at what details on the clothing are maintained: The crease in the cleavage, the creases along the pelvis leading into the legs. Of all the details on the surface of the clothing, most others are discarded and these make up around three quarters of the total detail that remains.

Significantly, most of the characterization comes from a confluence of many little details, but to list these is to invite some disingenuous radlib to pick one out and say "Oh, so she's sexualized because she is turning her hips? Puritan!" as though that is what I'm saying. Instead I will ask: Why do all of them have large chests for their weight? Why do all of them [except SA, who is ambiguous due to her arm] have narrow waists? It's because these are fucking waifus, meant to be viewed as objects, not as people. It's wild how radlibs struggle to do anything but media criticism and yet suck so fucking much at media criticism.

wtf-am-i-reading

Are y'all seeing a different picture than me? It's incredibly bizzare to me that anyone could look at this and come away with that. Especially, like, India's over there with a full length skirt, average proportions, and a conservative neckline. Can't for the life of me understand what the deal is.

I'm sorry but y'all are being extremely weird about this.

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He should've just say that waifuing countries is cringe and left it at that instead of meticulously analyzing the breast size of some drawing.

[–] SunriseParabellum@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Seriously this did devolve into hyper-analyzing the posture and hip measurements of some cartoon women in shorts.

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

It's so much worse than anything the hornyposters have said to the point that I'm about willing to offer critical support to them in their struggle against this creep.

left-unity-3 but only once they wash their hands.

[–] threebody@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

The drawing is mid but notice how some poster put "coomer artist" in the bottom

[–] heiferlips@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This is the second struggle session over that image.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (12 children)

The struggle session to define the line between "bodies are allowed to exist and be drawn and represented" and "this makes me horny and therefore is bad" is endless. Folks who want representation vs folks who get horny at bodies being represented. Any drawn body that makes someone horny could be considered bad but also good if it makes someone feel represented.

I'm not saying this image meets the criteria for representation or not or horniness or not because I'm not represented in it and it doesn't make me horny but if it's not this one it's gonna be another one

[–] wopazoo@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

grass-fed leftists

[–] Abraxiel@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Why don't they go on and become effective revolutionaries then?

[–] GaveUp@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The Bolsheviks are the only example I can think of who used to be terminally "on paper"

[–] SunriseParabellum@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Most of them live on the imperial core where there currently isn't much of a revolutionary base to organize with?

[–] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you even suggest something beyond organizing a union you get called a fed.

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

Well on the internet, there isn't much material difference between a fed and a fed magnet

[–] Othello@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago
