I'm not disagreeing but you people really need to learn that loudly describing something doesn't count as a critique

>Beatons SJWism is leaking into her comics now
It was good while it lasted.
Are webcomics as a whole a dying genre or am I just tiring of them?
>>7738969
>lol patrician literary reference
That's pretty much the main deal of her comics though. If you don't like it because you don't know it, it's like not being a gamer and getting mad at a gaming comic for having references to games.
>>7741602
>sjw can mean literally anything now
I think her comics are a great way to introduce people to literature, and they're almost always funny or cute in some way.
I am genuinely concerned for this generation, that creates nothing and wants to tear everything down. We would have never progressed beyond Greek philosophy and mathematics if everyone was too scared of failing to do anything.

she made silly jokes withe the portrait of the books...
I will never understand why 4chan like to say that everybody is hack or pretentious
I like it, but I don't undestand.

I think the maker of that image expects readers to be familiar only with Sinclair Ross from a Canadian Lit course, and to have read not much else

gamers don't laugh at gaming comics because they get the reference. they laugh because there's a good joke about the game
kate's comics have no real meat. they work because the reader takes some perverse satisfaction from 'getting the reference', along with some joy at old literature which they regard as an entirely serious business (because they rarely read it) being set up as entirely silly and random by taking a few wacky details out of context.
What she does not get is that part of what make good literature funny is that the wacky details HAVE justifications. It may be funny that Madame W has a curious habit; it is funnier if she can give elaborate defences of her habit, such that it begins to sound entirely rational. The funniest thing about silly people is that, if you accept their complex set of values and prejudices, their silly behaviour is just plain good sense, or even noble virtue.

oh, if you mean shit, unfunny gamer comics, then it doesn't help your point
>>7741963
I also wish that there was only one gamer. Zero would be even better.

I think it's time to go outside.

I've yet to encounter a funny gamer comic.

as long as the whole thing is not like that, it is fine

more like

like those "not fake at all" encounters with the comically exaggerated homophobes/racist/sexist etc
>using the word "exclaimed"

Nothing comes of as more amateurish imho
Room was like me and climaxed too early.
>>7741758
>implying the Greeks were better than China
Tu Fu, Confucius, Laozi, Zhuangzi and Li Bai would whip Homer, Plato's and Aristotle's ass any day.
>>7745760
This. Most contemporary writers avoid that shit, I've noticed.
I was going to say that adverbs are worse, but I've seen them used well.
>>7746133
you haven't even read them in the original chinese pleb
chinese literary tradition is garbage
source: me
>>7746266
No way. Du Fu, Lao Tzu, and Zhuangzi can't be considered anything but world class.
I've read them in the originals btw.
>>7741951
if this is true, then why did I have to listen to that "took an arrow in the knee" meme for a year?

china is only ahead of india in terms of contribution vs volume ratio.
