>Is comfy entertainment bad?
no, it's /comfy/
That entirely depends on what you consider comfortable.
Goddamn I love oldschool fantasy art
Ultra violent hyper-sexualize 90's anime
People that hate "comfy" entertainment are the type to only watch shit that they think makes them look "smart." They're just seething that not everyone is as homosexualy as them.
>They're just seething that not everyone is as homosexualy as them.
Based and mogwai-plled!
>only watch shit that they think makes them look "smart."
What about ones that are "comfy" and "smart"?
That's fine. There's nothing wrong with liking "smart" movies, but it's gay to only watch things to make yourself seem like an "intellectual" and completely disregard comfy kinos.
People who use media to look smart will typically seek out stuff that makes them feel stupid, which isn't a comfy feeling.
Sounds pretty good, what anime are they referring to
Comfy shows are based. Most of the population has received a shit education in their literature classes where they learn to read media the wrong way breaking them own into nothing but plot points and events. Everything is tied to an "arc" and must follow some convention or rhyme or reason. It's like being taught to chew on your food and identify every flavor then spit it back out, you're never told to actually enjoy it especially not from a subjective personal standpoint and god forbid you swallow any of it. "What does this passage mean" has a correct answer and a wrong answer even if the author never wrote it that way. Everyone is taught to write essays on books and never taught to actually enjoy them, so no wonder everyone grows up to like the shittiest media in other mediums.
>literature classes
what the frick
is this actually a thing?
Why the frick do you need a class on how to enjoy entertainment?
>Why the frick do you need a class on how to enjoy entertainment?
Lots of works of fiction assume the reader is aware of certain events, ideas, people, places, etc. Liteature classes are supposed to teach you about those things so that you actually understand what you're reading rather than just sit and go "Who the hell is Steve Jobs?" when you read about a character lamenting his the circumstances of his death.
You take a class to learn context? What the frick?
Didn't they teach you basic historical context of the fiction you read in English class?
Are you saying you research the historical cultural and social context of everything you read and the life story of the author and the author's friends, relatives and influences before reading?
Yes. It adds to the enjoyment of something if you know all of this. I also tend to look up the earliest possible influences on a work and watch those first.
>It adds to the enjoyment of something if you know all of this.
OK, so you understand the purpose of the classes.
Ya that’s part of the basic american classes bullshit alongside algebra and physical education (P.E.). You know the education quality of it is as successful as they are making americans not fat and not moronic (challenge level: impossible).
There was some arbitrary reason why they make you write essays in school but i forgot and then over time it became tradition.
Reminder that statistically there is a 90% chance that every person aged 21-40 you ever talked to read less than one (1) book per year.
>21-40
My parents aren't reading books either. And people younger than that are only reading books if school forces them. It's not a popular form of entertainment anymore.
Over the years I've wasted so many countless hours by consooming pointless youtube video essays about video games and other dumb bullshit and never read. I just can't be bothered to sit down and do it, even when I think the book is interesting. I'm trying to replace youtube with audiobooks in an attempt to salvage what little of my mindbroken brain is left but I'm afraid it's too late.
Don't be silly, anon. You just need to start out small and then get better with practice. Start with short stories, I recommend reading in paper to really disconnect from the mentality screens induce. Read a little as much as you can before getting bored, but do it every day. You'll regain control over your attention span slowly but surely. Don't buy into the doomer narrative, you can help yourself.
4u
No, I'm not doing this anymore. Enough is enough.
come on bro, it's just 43 hours, you can spare it
Never heard comfy and anime used in the same sentence.
"Shut up Black person."
Argument over
>"If you like thing I don't like you are a bad person."
Thanks literal who.
>hating comfy things
Yikes.
>harmless term actually bad
You WILL not enjoy comfy entertainment
You WILL only consoom demoralization propaganda
You WILL not enjoy a release from reality
You WILL work instead
You WILL watch our propaganda flicks intended to normalize the monotony of modern civilization
You WILL own nothing, and you WILL be happy
I WILL own everything, and I WILL be happy.
lol what a miserable c**t. they should try being a bit more comfy
"comfy" is indeed the refuge is morons. cowards and failures
You’d best go and get comfy then, you just completely fumbled a single sentence
This was only an argument when the west was still pumping out good movies.
Comfy basically means safe and familiar, which makes for boring and uninteresting media. So yes, in that sense they are for "broken" people. Essentially middle age housewives watching soaps, except in the case of anime it's the equivalent in prematurely middle aged fat neckbeards, so it's extremely pathetic.
I pretty much only seek out easily digestible stuff. I had to read a lot of dreary shit in high school and college, and it just made me miserable.
>Only seek out digestible stuff
Yeah man, your life will be increased in quality if you read some Tolstoy and finish it. Trust me. Go read the Death of Ivan, it is short and worth it.
jesus christ, have you ever had your OWN opinion on something?
>Enjoying a thing I don't like means it's an emotinal crush
What
>You're just using it as an emotional crutch!
>There's not even any mindless entertainment to distract you from the world to be found in this show!
Is this individual mentally moronic
>4+ year old literally-who twitter screencap
firstly frick off
Second "comfy" is usually just interchangeable with nostalgia, or the feelings of equatable to nostalgia. I don't know why things have shifted to where nothing can just be entertaining on its own merits and has to fall into some other constructed category of indirect escapism.
I mean he is "correct" in that there absolutely exists categories of entertainment that are made not to challenge you and to feel comfortable.
But he is also a c**t generalizing a metric frickton of people and claiming they aren't having fun the right way.
And within that group there are 100% broken people using it as an emotional crutch.
>Me? I'm a hardcore anime watcher
Lmao weebs
I genuinely feel bad for people who can't enjoy episodic content
>it entertains you
>offers nothing as entertainment
What?
There's a time and a place for every piece of art, each one with its own purpose and intention.
Even Marvel movies?
Even Marvel movies. I find more annoying the trend of people who obsess over them because they are the only movies they actually watch more than I am annoyed by the films themselves. I used to watch them as they came out and they're an alright way to pass a couple of hours. Each person is free to engage with a piece of art however they like, even if the obsession with what's basically mediocre to good entertainment is limiting. But I've obsessed in the past over sloppier goyslop so I'm no one to judge.
>people use media as intended.
This is the type of guy that doesn’t get his wiener out when the tentacles come out.
What is actual entertainment?
Whatever the speaker likes.
comic book movies and neetflix
I've been watching One Piece the past few years because I'm a broken early 30s NEET
I tried watching some of it like 20 years ago and didn't think it stacked up against other anime that were airing at the time but the past 2 years like half of my time spent watching anime has been watching/rewatching One Piece just because it's comfy
My current relationship with the medium as a whole is weird
Weekly Shonen Jump mangaka make me envious
If you ignore all the consolewars and shitflinging from fans of the various series, all the high profile mangaka with successful series are like a clubhouse of friends
They piggyback off each others work and borrow / develop new material like that, but at the end of the day they all kick back and count their money while us consoomers eat up their comfy power fantasy escapism content
One Piece unironically has an entertaining energy very few other shonens do. Just the art style and the character designs and everything make it feel like it's very self-aware of its own ridiculousness, but despite that it never stops being earnest in its sense of goofy goodhearted adventure.
I was more ready to take stabs at the series when I was younger but I'm almost 10 years older than Oda was when he started making the series (as well as most of these other shonen mangaka who started in their 20s), but I don't have shit to show for it with all those wasted years.
No, of course not. I don't know what comfy anime is, but to say that a genre is perfectly designed for those who seek it out, then say it isn't entertainment, is plain tautological. There are people it entertains 100% of the time, right?
why are suicidal troons so desperate to shit on people?
I rewatch Cowboy Bebop all the time, and not only did it inspire me to take up Taekwondo, but also to just generally to jog every morning and do push ups, and that started when I was like 12 and first saw it, and it persists to this day, when I'm almost 30.
I don't take taekwondo classes anymore, though.
Comfy entertainment just makes me want to kill myself biw. I think I've used it to get through stressful times to much in my life and now it's just associated with depression.
This
I literally can't watch that wholesome/comfy shows anymore because every time I finish one I get immense whiplash from snapping back to our dystopian reality
People wouldn't be so willing to watch comfy shows if a comfy life was possible IRL.
People use these shows as emotional crutches because real lide has become completely dystopian
Yea my life is complete ass, I've been very self aware of my escapism habits in recent years..Rewatching stuff multiple times just to distance myself from how bleak and harsh reality is from my perspective
No lies told
>projecting
Stop being mad at cartoons you fricking homosexual.
I watch what I enjoy, why label it?
>emotional moron can't recognize the beauty of K-On!
Yes, i like comfy things and refuse to be demoralized
What are you going to do about it?
If you enjoy "comfy" anime you ARE demoralized.
life's too short, if seeking out comfy things makes you happy then why not? better to be comfy and happy than unhappy and "actually entertained"
there's a youtube channel I like that's an Irish guy who fixes/mods old 80s computers and it's him soldering capacitors, cleaning up corrosion, testing chips on these old circuit boards. he uploads on the day when I work a 12 hour shift. getting home and watching him solder is better than any TV show.
All anime is garbage.
