I can't think of a worse way to deliver this message than what he did. Like you could make this with him becoming a fucking clown and have some happy kids at the end and it world be a stronger message. All of this to shove GoT in it and tap into le popular mainstream. What a fucking filthy rat.

At this point I think the visual arts is the least meritocratic field there is. It actually works in the opposite direction, the bigger of a hack you are, the more success you'll have. All art fields are bad but visual arts is just the worst.

Oh man, they quoted Ayn Rand: that's how you know they're intellectuals. Ayn Rand, whose greatest contribution to the literary canon was a sprawling thesis of a book that can be summarised as "neener neener neener fuck all of you faggots"

People are lazy, but they want to be praised as if they work hard.
People are stupid, but they want to feel as if they're intelligent.
People are not creative, but they like to pursue creative interests for the image and status doing so provides.
This is where "art" such as Zen Pencils comes in.
Grayson Roberts
I remember when someon actually tried to interview the artist of this and they straight up said it was just a dumb joke that poked fun of people who make these comparisons.
What was supposed to be an ironic meme was actually thought of an actual philosophical statement. What a fucking world.

The only thing I hate is when people go to another country and don't even attempt to try the local food. I mean unless it's something disgusting like fried monkey dick I do my best to try new things done traditionally if I can.
I also always order new things at the restaurant. As much as I like eating my favorite dishes I always try to order something new from the menu to try things out.
Leo Lee

Makes sense, I mean what's the point of going there if you aren't gonna try some nice local food although that entirely depends on the price of said food due to my penny pinching nature, then again, I'll likely be able to find cheaper prices away from usual tourist destinations

Kayden Murphy
She basically went aggainst the flow by saying that egocentrism is a good thing.
>My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute."
>“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects.”
You have the internet, just look her up if you want to know about the stuff she pushed.

Nathan Murphy
Yeah the Miyazaki connection is truly baffling. It reads like the author thought he was a stereotype of a kindly old man based on his movies, when in reality he's the kind of guy that would criticize his own son's failed suicide attempt. "What's the matter with you? Can't even tie a simple noose?" That sort of thing. The dude walks into animation studios and tells people to their face that their work is an insult to life itself. If he saw this comic he'd probably tell the author to break his own hands. I don't know what made him so bitter and cynical, but that's what he is.
Cameron Rivera

Hell, it could still be a GoT type story set in a fantasy land.

Angel Phillips
What's worse, Zen Pencils or Sinfest?
Leo Walker
I'm very open about showing my work to people and I have a pretty thick skin but of all professionals I would never, ever show my stuff to Miyazaki. He's one of my art heroes and he'd probably say something brutal that would scar my soul.
Zen Pencils. At least le feminist manifesto takes a stand on something, ZP is just pretentious hypocrisy cranked to 11 and it doesn't even interpret the quotes correctly most of the time.
Asher Taylor
That thing doesn't even make sense. There are normally functioning people that love medieval shit so they do historical reenactments and historical fencing in plate armor as a hobby. I'm sure someone with half a brain could cook up some kid drawing knights at school and getting mocked by bullies or some shit, and then he ends up winning some fencing competition as an adult.

Wait wait, is this implying that woke bullshit is partly to blame for dividing people and turning men into the evil zombie horde? Is Tats okay? Did he have a stroke and wake up with a concept of nuance or something? I'm scared.
Cooper Moore
He calls himself a useless old man in Never Ending Man.
Christian Evans
From what i gather he's basically saying that the media is hijacking activism to sell it as a product. Woke TV seems like part of the fight against oppression because, you know, woke and stuff, but in reality it's just the villains' new tool, and the zombies don't get cured
Jack Gray

Aiden Turner
There's a quote by some Japanese artisan or filmmaker I've watched, can't remember, and I think it's a common Japanese thing, it stuck with me. He said something along the line that you have to give up on your identity and become your work. You don't exist, you are the things you make. Miyazaki probably has this kind of attitude, that's why he's so harsh.
Bentley Martinez
Your post was great to read.
And he probably became cynical after seeing the thing he used to watch and study life and movement to a troped riddled cash grab with people becomming creators that only every consumed other animation and never stupied the natural world and build their animation on that instead.

Colton Roberts
So so? I'm sure that if some day I criticize a novel that I write that way I would simply say to him: "Is that the best you can say?"
I think I am one of the few who take constructive criticism as a recommendation, positive criticism as praise, detailed negative criticism as a warning and insulting negative criticism as trash.

Henry Gomez
Zombies in sinfest are a metaphor for oppressors, sexists etc. Maybe you're right and the comic is arguing politicized media creates conflict among people, but in general Woke TV is presented as a bad thing because it's not *really* political, it's a lie to use feminism and whatnot to sell products and keep those pesky revolutionaries at bay. A mixture of pandering and manipulation basically
I think there are pages showing the devil-people behind the Woke TV but i don't have them right now

She argued that altruism is a waste and selfishness is a good thing. I'm pretty libertarian, but I think there is something to be said for a man trying to better his community with no guaranteed reward. Pathological altruism can be hurtful but I think I society works better if people do just try to help each other (to a certain extent, this doesn't mean you should keep giving money to drug addicts, for example)
I also don't think she makes the connection that after a certain point, innate selfishness will lead to someone using their influence to oppress others. We see this happening now. I'm sure wal mart was a big fan of competition and low taxes when they were just starting out but now that they have a large share of the retail market they want those fixed because they're afraid of someone overthrowing them (Which Amazon is, and I'm sure they'll do the same thing) So they work with lawmakers to enact more taxes and regulation that little companies can't deal with, but they can. The extra overhead they pay is small compared to what they make by basically monopolizing rural areas. There does need to be a check in place for corporations at a certain point to make sure they don't oppress us, just like in government. The fact that she thinks a society of John Galts wouldn't quickly become a Brave New World just makes her look naive and foolish.

thats fucking terrible.
I've been to Honduras this last year, and the reason I was able to go was because I have connections there, people who'd know I'm there, people I could call, an itinerary, and I know basic spanish enough to explain my predicament and where id need to go. I'd never go to Honduras as an 'adventure' or else I'd get something like what you got. I would have been scammed or stranded or worse - what happened to you - if someone i was with hadn't steered me properly. Enough happened to me with all that preparation even, I cant imagine going without that.
That's the sort of preparation ZP and the facebook-tier inspirational people look down on.
What? decide not to go out and do something CRAZY because until you have a better understanding of it??? NO!! You'll never get anywhere unless you go out now!!!
It seems to be rooted in a resentment of "the sheeple" whose only crime is not caring about the same things he cares about. People should get out and do things outside their routine so they don't wind up old and regretful, but impulsiveness without weighing the potential risks is not behavior anyone should be promoting

Gabriel Clark
Not Yea Forums related but there are some YouTube videos I like to watch that are cultish as hell from a channel called the school of life and this reminds me of a video where the guy goes off the deep end and claims all artists should be forced to make positive art against their will (as slaves) because that's the purpose of art in society

There is a bit of context left out though. Miyazaki had a friend who was crippled and moved in the same way as the zombies he was being shown. He felt like they were insulting cripples.
Still a crazy and unfair overreaction but not out of nowhere like it seemed.

The gun
-no hinge, it opening like that shouldn't be possible
-has a bolt despite being break action apparently
-if it were a bolt action, the scope placement would make it impossible to chamber a round
-it has one solid black bolt in the first panel, which is missing in the second, and in the third it gains a weird second silver bolt but it's on the scope(?)
-it's hollow beneath the chamber
-that sight is terrible
The message
-there have been plenty of assassination attempts on people who deserved it and people who didn't but weren't group-hug hippies
-there is no 'we'. assassination has been carried out by unrelated people with a tons of reason beyond "boy I wish this person would shut the fuck up about peace and happiness.
also what the fuck is up with that window on the car?
Zachary Jones
additionally there's no hammer to set off that bullet and the butt is too small in the second panel to be part of the same gun.
Also I meant to type bolt handle where I typed bolt, silly me.

It's been on my bedside table for years, I just can't finish it it's so dry and I really don't like the style of it so I end up reading other books instead. Maybe it's the translation, I should buy it in English.

By the way he later made a comic showing that the boy was actually Mark Zuckerberg all along.
This raises quite some problems.
First he implies that Mark Zuckerberg violently attack someone once, without having any evidence for it to back up, which could theoretically count as libel.
Secondly, the comic in question was made in 2012, where Facebook's moustache twirling evilness wasn't a common topic in the main public yet, making the comic kind of harsh in hindsight by putting Zuckerbot on a pedestal as some kind of selfmade man paragon of virtue.
This shows the biggest problem with all of this person-based worship culture which Zen Pencils seem to rely on by mindlessly using quotes that kinda sound nice. They forget that these quoted persons may have flaws or did decisions which could go completely against the perceived meaning the original quotes go by. If you go around quoting someone you inevitable also quote the live of the person himself. That's why you would never quote something said by Hitler in a speech, even if it may sound nice without knowing the context.
Xavier Cooper
This is pretty funny in that it looks more like someone just copypasted the text of a completely unfitting poem over the comic than anything. Except it's the real thing and zenpencils guy's mindset is just that fucked.
Luis Walker
fucking shit like this makes me want to hatefuck the living shit out of banksy
Ryan Thompson
>it looks more like someone just copypasted the text of a completely unfitting poem over the comic
That is exactly what happened; the someone is the author of the comic, and the poem is credited in the last panel, like all the literature he shamelessly lifts.
Xavier Bailey
First off fuck zenpencils
secondly I just realized that I have done the opposite of each of those things in the comic.
1 & 2: I'm an obstinate fucker so...
3: I didn't go to college (because I couldn't afford to).
4: I have never had a desk job
5:I have been to around 10 different countries (Sidenote: what does safe and easy mean? Does this asshole expect people to be making regular trips to the gaza strip or something?)
6:Don't have a mortgage
7: I speak 8 languages
8: I literally just published my first story a few months back
9: I have my own business
10: I'm so ugly kids throw peanuts at me during my commute.

I'm really sorry for your situation, but the thought of this alone made me laugh harder than all the "inspiration" Zen Pencils could ever give me with his pretentious comics.
I consider you therefore more influential in my life than ZP could ever be.
Grayson Flores
The idea behind this is not really that bad but it could have been 4 panels and it would have been a silly sort of smart joke. Instead this whole visual novel of a comic tells you how much this guy is smelling his own farts

That wasn't the kind of altruism she was even talking about.
She meant altruism like excusing your actions as being in service to some supposed greater good.
The entire philosophy is about rejecting the subjective and that includes the illusion that anyone is responsible for your actions other than yourself, don't let others be your excuse, good or bad everything you do is because you chose to do it.
Blake Morris
1. Gavin Aung more often than not takes quotes requiring zero explanation whatsoever and then draws comics which misunderstand the point of them so as to further his own agenda (quit your job, become an artist)
2. Ayn Rosenberg was completely unable to live the principles she bleated at others, threw a tantrum when the boyfriend she cheated on cheated on her to the point of tearing down her own school, and died a pauper on food stamps. Fuck all of you self made faux intellectuals who lick her feet and Jordan's, get some therapy for your painfully clear daddy issues

Dude, you're so desperate to prove Zenpencils wrong you're turning Miyazaki into a monster.
He wasn't telling this kid his art was an "insult to life itself" because LOL MEAN ASIAN MAN DISHONER U he was doing it because he felt using real people with janky modes of locomotion as the basis for "monsters" was deeply ableist and bigoted. That makes him seem more compassionate than anything.

Sinfest is thousands of times worse, but it's become so retarded it's actually more entertaining to read.

In the end when they put it together it falls on a bunch of people and kills them. They blame the trolls and don't learn because they can't accept criticism.

The mecha design is so fucking bad too as a /m/an. It looks like what normalfags think mechas look like just because they saw Power RRangers and Transformers a couple times. The panel where it shows the various inspirations also feels like the writer didn't really care and just thought of Giant robot stuff, Voltron of course being front and center because of nostalgia and probably LD was fairly new at the time, and transformers being there s well because it's the most normalfag /m/ thing if we are being super honest. The main thing that pisses me off is how they include a gundam head which appears to be the RX78, and it just feels like they put it's head there because Gundam is afamous Japanese anime series but without any real reverence for the franchise, or the robot itself. Hell Ready Player One did a better job with paying tribute to gundam.

Jackson Torres
Purely in terms of quality Sinfest is by far the worst since it turned into a self-hating male's TERF manifesto. Zen Pencil's biggest crime is that it's interpretation of famous quotes are really, really boring and sometimes miss the message completely. In terms of entertainment? You can get at least some amount of enjoyment out of Sinfest since it's one of the worst webcomics created. Zen Pencils is just mediocrity incarnate. I'd rather read something spectacularly bad than bland and boring.

Trust me, it ain’t that great in English either.

Parker Ortiz
As much as I hate modern Disney, Walt is one of the most talented cartoonists and animators in history and his simple style took a lot of work to perfect.
I'm sure he could draw the realistic rat as well as he could draw Mickey, since you need a good understanding of mass and movement to be able to animate on his level.
Anyone complaining about his art is just a salty contrarian.
