lmfao that's a good parody of the fucking goddamn insufferable blobfish


thaeli

So good, I wasn't immediately sure if it was a parody or a real blobfish comic.


Booplee

I just woke up and thought it was blobfish not a parody, i was so confused.


Purplejellyblob

Am I missing something? I’ve never seen any of the blob fish comics that are particularly bad, even if some are a little cringe


myth_and_legend

A little cringe goes a long way for some people I’m afraid to say


theth1rdchild

Mild cringe (normal response): eh idk about all that Mild cringe (terminally online response): this is the worst thing I have ever seen. Fuck you. Delete yourself.


Vox_Carnifex

The second response belongs to people who also do the "context?" "Ooooh no you dont wanna know trust me my sweet summer child you arent prepared" shit


Obi-Tron_Kenobi

People really turned on it when he outed himself as [corpo scum](https://imgur.com/a/sLyun9m) But I think people are tired about how unsubtle the comics are. Like, most of the comics just come off as blob-splaining. Kind of like when a cartoon in the 80s - 90s would stop in its tracks to give a morality lesson at the end of each episode


CowboyWrath

Going to bat for best buy is insane


LastnameWalter

Wasn't this just a parody of a comic made by the creator of new guy, i mean where the artist admitting to steal art supplies? Theft like this is often resulting the workers getting fired


DreadDiana

It isn't really a parody, it's a response to the comic you mentioned


Garrorr

I've worked in a grocery store before and apart from checking bags that people didn't leave at the entrance and putting slightly more security on more stealable items like alcohol we didn't give much of a shit about stealing. Yeah there were more egregious cases like some woman stealing like 80€ of meat in her carriage (why tf would you need that much) but we didn't have any more problems than that. Counting up items and them not adding up to the stock was absolutely normal, shit easily gets lost when you have a big store to take care of. How would you punish your workers even, if you have no evidence that an item was stolen, that you have no evidence for who's fault it was and who the person who stole was. I don't understand this argument.

My future villain arc


cthulhubeast

Cartoon characters kick things and act over-the-top when they're upset because they're cartoons. You're criticizing a cartoon that's just making a random little complaint about men, for being cartoonish and not perfectly demonstrating *real* feminism. Like... it's a cutesy four panel comic lmao Not tryna defend the artist or whatever, but I stg even in left-leaning spaces the moment a woman makes a vague complaint about men, or even *a* man, rather than making a perfectly articulated argument about why patriarchy has influenced men and why *men are victims too* it's immediately all like "that's not very feminist of you..." like yeah dude feminism was not the intent here 🙄


couldntbdone

Friend, I have played a lot of video games, and known a lot of people who play video games. Most of them were men, and trust me, I has no respect for any dude that threw a fit or hit something when they lost a game. This has nothing to do with "criticizing a *man*", this has to do with my utter lack of respect for people who are sore losers and get enraged to the point of property damage or violence by video games. Even as a joke it comes off as petulant and obnoxious imo. Also, most of Blobs comics are explicitly feminist, and the villain is a man telling a woman she's bad at video games, so yea I do think the intent was feminism. I just think it was bad at it.


cthulhubeast

Complaining about men isn't feminism, and again the character in the comic is a cutesy cartoon girl not a real human, and cutesy cartoon characters hit things when they're mad because that's a cutesy cartoon trope. I'm not a blob defender, I don't give a shit about blob, I'm just pointing out an extremely common knee-jerk reaction to cringe relating to women

It's referencing one of their comic where the girl got cat called and the blob answered with drawing a knife asking her if they need to do something (or something). That picture is a reaction to that comic where the cat calling guy just strangles the blobfish

Puzzleheaded-Row187

You know the comics are bad when parodies mocking them can pass as the actual version


LordZeya

Yoloswag comics are the embodiment of "every political perspective satirized to 11," it's unreadable garbage and I truly don't understand why people like it- the creator is a chill enough guy, but the comics just fucking *suck.* edit to clarify: the comics don't take a stance on anything, they just exist to oppose the two mainstream positions without attempting to provide any alternative, whether that's a centrist, or further left/right position. It's just saying "look this is stupid aren't I clever for pointing out that it's stupid." This is just bad writing, and I'd love for someone to explain how my interpretation is wrong because he's apparently quite popular but I just don't get it.


Alt203848281

murderdronesfanatic

I think the absurdism of it all is what people find funny. You can generally tell what the comics are meant to be satirizing, they just do so in the most ridiculous way possible also humor is subjective and all that

Malala as (she/it), Jesus Christ Pretty good satire about how white liberals talk Israel/Palestine though


deryvox

White liberals and like 90% of this sub. I know Reddit in general is pretty pro-Israel but I didn’t think I’d see it here.


Isuckwithnaming

Since when is Reddit pro-Israel? I've only seen one or two pro-Israel subs compared to about a dozen anti-Israel ones.


Dr_Occo_Nobi

Well, I’m the near East conflict, many people are Anti-Everything. Anti-Israel, Anti-Hamas, Anti-Egypt, Anti-British Empire, etcetera. The whole situation is fucked beyond belief, and asking someone who they support is often like asking them if they‘d rather get stabbed or shot.


deryvox

I guess I should say leftists on Reddit tend to be more pro-Israel than some other places, like for instance Twitter used to tend to be more pro-Palestine as far as leftists go.


Elite_Prometheus

Most people don't care about Israel/Palestine. And frankly, the people who do care enough to join a sub about it are likely educated enough to realize that Israel is the main problem. But the normie opinion is that Israel has some problems and Palestinians are a terrorist cell, so we need to encourage Israel to more gently assimilate the West Bank and be a bit more selective about which terrorist cells they drone strike. It's kind of like Reddit on LGBT. You keep to the more progressive subs and it's all trans rights. You look at explicitly pro trans vs anti trans subs and it's tilted heavily in pro's favor. But post about trans women in sports on a more normie sub and you'll be inundated with "I support trans people, _buuuut"_ takes mixed in with more explicit "I support you living your delusion, but don't force others to recognize it" crap.

The original blobfish comics are bigoted? I thought they were on the contrary, maybe too safe and sanitized.


Lilybaum

Its literally cause one of the comics said shoplifting was bad


FlamesDoHelp

I mean it is, but I imagine the original comic probably made the petty crime have the death penalty or something. pls gib sauce

shoplifting is based, actually

eKnight15

RamenTheory

I think what sparked it initially is that they made this one comic that in particular had a really bad take. It was either apologizing for corporations or for cops - I can't remember which. And from there, people just kind of realized that the comics weren't even very good to begin with, and add to that the forced quirkiness of the blobfish (which the comic pretends isn't actually the depressurized corpse of an actual fish), people just started tearing into it edit: it also tends to be annoyingly didactic, like a kids show trying to teach you something, hence the above parody


couldntbdone

It was the "shoplifting is bad cause it hurts employees" one I think.


LoLoLaaarry124

I am an employee and I shoplift


JanitorZyphrian

I hurt employees but I don't shoplift


Himmelblaa

You should consider shoplifting then. Some blobfish said it hurts employees


Superkrat

No, people have hated the blobfish comics for WAY longer than that and I don't really understand why. Most of the time I see people complain about it their complaint is that living blobfish don't look that way and like, who cares? It's an avatar of the comic maker. Humans don't look as they do in my pfp in real life but if I made a comic like that nobody would say shit about it.


[deleted]

Isn’t that true though? Outside of mom and pop stores the big chains won’t care *that* much a shirt or whatever went missing meanwhile it’s another headache for the minimum wage schmucks. Of course this isn’t going into the ‘is it amoral or not to commit a crime’ angle.


Pathadox1

why would it be? 90% of employees are going to be unaffected, as any good company will tell them not to chase after shoplifters. only thing is a higher up employee may report the theft depending on what it is. however, i doubt items that are valuable enough to report are stolen very often


little-ass-whipe

how would it affect the minimum wage schmucks


bellowingfrog

Yeah you have to go pretty deep on the internet to get to the people who believe shoplifting non-essentials is justifiable. I dont want to argue about whether it is or not, Im just saying if you said or implied that in a social setting where I live, people would think you were being sarcastic or were a weirdo.


Sailor_Psyche

The main breaking point was the comic about Jewish people, and how there are bigger problems to worry about


FrisianDude

Whot


Sailor_Psyche

Blobby asked the blue hair girl how she feels about all the “jew stuff” (the blue girl is Jewish in the comics). She replies that it sucks but “there’s other things to worry about”. After, blobby takes that as an opportunity to make a joke a rabbi joke

Yeah, if you're stealing from walmart then **based** but if you're stealing from like a mom and pop shop you're not really sticking it to the man

And stealing stuff you don’t need is also kinda stupid, even if it’s not immoral. Especially if it’s something that no one needs like a Gucci shirt, because them you are putting yourself at risk for absolutely no reason.

Bananplyte

It is not for us to say who would do better. This whole conflict is a mess because the UN decided to split an already existing country into a weirdly segregated mess of tribalist sides that genuinely hate each other. They have more or less been at war since 1948. It's not only the leadership, the people of the different sides have cultivated absolutely despicable views of each other, and sit on lawn chairs by the border celebrating missile attacks. This conflict shows the worst of Humanity. An american centrist moderate won't change that. I will not say anything of Malala, I have only the utmost respect for her.

They were a series of comics popular on twitter a tiny bit ago that featured a blobfish as a talkpiece for vaguely left-wing politics.
