@evilhomer91 @Porkchopnator "ethnicity", he was in the Israeli Defence Force committing atrocities under Ehud Olmert's govt. you threw a tantrum abt the comic being grotesque but you're making excuses for the Israeli Wrechtmacht, I think you're just a hypocritical piece of shit

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

Garth Ennis didn’t do anything to warrant The Boys being badmouthed across the internet. It was Eisner-nominated and well regarded in comics circles before all of this. The comic has often been taken out of context for cheap clicks and fake outrage, that’s all...

[Nem • 🎪🇵🇸 @DespairNem]

What did Ennis do in a past life to warrant his masterpiece being badmouthed by every corner of the internet for years

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

@tumultuoscalm also that PointlessHub video being ppl's first exposure to the comic instead of yknow, actually reading it in full. lotta ppl just like the out of context shock moments but refuse to engage with the series as a whole

[serenechaos @tumultuoscalm]

You know how it’s haters claim that it’s edgy dogshit with a few sporadic good bits (when in reality it’s like 80% good to great)

That 20% of bad edgy shit is more memorable for people which is why it gets posted more, which is why the comic has that reputation

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

@MobyDx3 what? I have like a thousand tweets praising the comic. youre in the wrong place

[Mikey NohMore @MikeyNohMore]

One viral YouTube video is all it takes to determine how the average person will interact with a piece of media.

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

@SecretSquaff maybe they care abt the Tick in Bangdad and/or Tasmania but I don't give a shit

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

@evilhomer91 @Porkchopnator speaking of idiot rapists, you love the IDF, you are far worse than anything in this comic book. go seek help

@J3ff_K1ng its sad that those discussions were never had when the show was actually airing, now that's over people are finally having those conversations lol

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

@Porkchopnator @evilhomer91 thinking Butcher is a self insert is a dead giveaway the guy hasn't even read it, he just got this opinion through osmosis. Maybe a YouTuber said the same thing and he's just parroting it, very weird

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

@evilhomer91 really weird of you to defend the shitty TV adaptation that features an IDF soldier in the main cast, which is more grotesque than anything in the comic. Tomer Capone is worse than anything Garth Ennis ever said or did

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

@rabello47771 I wouldn't call it unpleasant, nor is the art as ugly as ppl claim but I see your point yeah

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

@tralalasahur67 well I think Preacher is one of Garth Ennis' best, so I'd say its a little worse than it....

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

@SecretSquaff the who?

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

@RiskStrategos @mertonesque Streamers & YouTubers might be the modern equivalent in format, but that’s not the point. Also Fantano has covered plenty of mainstream pop acts like Drake, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande. The indie vs mainstream divide isn’t clean anymore, there’s a lot of overlap

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

I don't think that's necessarily a positive. There's loads of great innovative pop music out there but you wouldn't know that listening to Todd. His perspective is quite narrow and a lot of his conclusions end up sounding virtually identical to rock boomers like Rick Beato

[merton ♨️ @mertonesque]

Todd In The Shadows is interesting bc he's the only big critic younger than 40 who didn't marinate in this specific online music nerd culture. I can't imagine him following pitchfork all that closely, nor do I think he's ever used rym or /mu/

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

@seralouisee @mertonesque well itd be great if he made a video talking about it instead of doomposting like a boomer (though ig Todd is more of a millennial) but the point stands, his brow beating over "the state of pop music" isn't particularly insightful

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

@RiskStrategos @mertonesque okay but those aren’t the Fantanos of the world. Those are institutional indie publications like Pitchfork, Stereogum, Consequence, Paste, Drowned in Sound. The key difference is Fantano is a YouTuber, not part of that “bloggerati” ecosystem you’re talking about

[Guy (again) @sharpedges756]

@jhhhh8853 Well if we’re going by the examples in Todd’s video: Taylor Swift has released 5 albums in the last 5 years, Ariana and Charli are still releasing new music, and Justin Bieber released 2 albums last year alone. So his complaints are asinine. The modern pop star still exists lol
