Why are most recent indie cartoons always related to Satanism or the occult? even that new digital circus show has some subtle nods to Satan or hell.

One word: Liberals
This most Satangays are just perpetually in their edgy phase against mild Christian background noise

There are several self-identified Christian nationalists in our Congress.
I hope they get along with the israelites, Atheists, and Muslims working there too.
Yeah this. Satanism's gone from being the subject of ye olde horror movies to some strange edgelord reactionary thing. Honestly it's just 2007-12 internet atheism repackaged slightly, it'll pass in a few years.
As a scholar of the Marquis de Sade, I can confirm that Satanism has ALWAYS been nothing but a strange edgelord reactionary thing and repackaged atheism.
Satanism lives rent free in the christian schizo/conservative mind more than ever though.
>aaahhh muh hematochrome harvesting moloch worshipping child sacrificing satanistic elites!
Before 2016 shit like this werent really a thing
>muh Christian’s
>Muh schizo
>muh conservatives
>Muh Q anon
I just won Cinemaphileumblr buzzword

Obsessed
>how do i get back at mom & dad for making me go to church as a kid?
>i know, I'll pretend to worship the bad guy instead
>buy memorabilia
>perform rituals ironically
>say I'm God haha just kidding
>make good with other ironic satanists
>yeah, that'll show them
>I'm totally not desperate for a religious community and traditions
Hey man anything to start a conversation with the weird girl with the dark black bob cut and too much eyeliner
Nobody ever gets past the first book
>the weird girl with the dark black bob cut and too much eyeliner
was hot when I was a preteen and is still hot now that I'm old.
god bless Wednesday for bringing back the goth-girl tropes.
That just shows it's needed.
The world definitely doesnt need more schizophrenia rn
Whatever you would call it there needs to be much more.
i agree, OP.
It's to "own the chuds" who call everything Satanist. Like "Jay Z and his Satanic illuminati videos". The response from these indies is "Oh you think that's Satanism? I'll show you chuds Satanism".
With how mainstream it's become, christianity will end up as the rebellious and edgy thing to do
Christianity has already been the "rebellious and edgy" thing since the 2016 election (i.e. zoomer tradcaths).
Oh how edgy and transgressive partaking in the most popular religion in the world
it's safe edgy
bingo
I didn't notice that in the Digital Circus, there was definitely Biblical themes or inspiration like the company being named Caine & Abel, along with the reference to the Last Supper. Yet no satanic imagery, perhaps you can explain?
it's implied that all the characters are in some kind of hell.
>it's satanic because the characters are in some shitty backrooms "abstract world"-type ripoff
are you fricking serious you Black person
maybe hes a conservative, don't be so harsh on him
Isn't it more of a purgatory
>What you should be asking is why a Chinese MMO is using the Ars Goetia and Pseudnomica Demonica for Names and character behavior for many of their major characters
Same reason as NGE: it's cool, exotic, and the names carry puissance, in the same way a western property might throw out an eye of Horus or Muramasa
>characters are in hell because they’re suffering with no escape
KEK
the show’s obviously gnostic to anyone that isn’t a complete moron
>trapped in a false world
>false world is ran by a powerful being that can be interpreted as being either malevolent or oblivious
>false world is full of suffering as a result of it being an imitation (in this case, an imitation of children’s entertainment)
>gnosticism is christian, show features christian symbolism
gtfo homosexual
finally someone gets it.
the horror of the digital circus is that it's a cheap imitation of reality- the kind of cushy faux-freedom that our hylic corporate overlords want us to live in.
it's a world that actively works to destroy the souls and identity of its inhabitants by its very nature. caine is an artificial demiurge.
it's still zoomer trash though
And frogs are tourist trash.
fail
>he doesn't know how to deny (you)s
Confirmed tourist.
fricking exactly
the amount of morons that think it’s just “creepy idea + child-friendly visuals” shlock despite the obvious themes of religion/philosophy has finally convinced me that a metric frickton of people have jack shit going on in their heads. i always assumed but i always thought there was at least a little bit going on
Cute goats.
Because the intended demo is edgy teens
I only know about Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel, but I count them as basically just being one in this context since they're done by the same person. What are the other indie satanic shows?
see
The OG one is the one with the trap who stabbed his parents to death and then annoyed some twink
Explosm has Purgatony, which is about a mediocre guy working 24/7/Infinity in Purgatory, judging souls to go to heaven and hell while trying not to go insane. Half the cast are demons or ascended demons, Tony’s best friend is a Satanist who’s otherwise a chill dude(he didn’t get into heaven due to Tony accidentally getting him to start a suicide cult), and we see hell a bit
damn I thought I was the only person who ever watched that
It's Cinemaphile but you should check out Yondemasu yo Azazel-san and Devilman Crybaby
>Devilman Crybaby
Devilman isn't indy lol. It's a 40+ year old franchise with a massive influence on anime and manga. Even shit like Berserk and Evangelion were inspired by it
The summoning
Because Satanism and the occult are too taboo for mainstream tv (unless it’s some defanged Harry Potter type BS) so when creators get the opportunity to make something without constraints, they’ll explore areas they wished they could have seen more of.
To offend you. To bother you. So you'll screech about it and give these cartoons free advertising.
Also because the cartoon itself is about a subject that would involve occult imagery.
What you should be asking is why a Chinese MMO is using the Ars Goetia and Pseudnomica Demonica for Names and character behavior for many of their major characters.
>To offend you. To bother you. So you'll screech about it and give these cartoons free advertising.
naw, but that could be an extra perk. Whatever is taboo or forbidden is often viewed as cool. It's the reason why teens traditionally wanted to smoke (or I guess vape now) despite knowing of the health risks.
The people creating indie animation now were once outcast artsy preteens who went to Hot Topic (despite swearing they never go to Hot Topic because it's for posers). Stuff like satan/occult/witchcraft were coded as being counter-culture which was edgy and cool so when they got old enough and skilled enough to make their own shit, it would be influenced by a lot of the things they always wished they could have seen more of growing up. Harry Potter did a lot to open the floodgates and completely defang occult related topics which made the public more receptive and Karen's less 'pitchforky' when it came to breaching those topics. Now witches are the good guys on Disney cartoons. Unfortunately we skipped right over the fun dark phase and made a b-line for god damned musicals...the place where cultural ephemera are confirmed dead.
Simple answer: israelites
One word: Goatbutt
wrong board buddy, you're in comblr
Yeah there was an indian thread on Cinemaphile I was converting to a Pajeeta thread but it died. I saw INDI- in my tabs bar and assumed it was the same. Carry on.
>Frequency illusion, also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon or frequency bias, is a cognitive bias referring to the tendency to notice something more often after noticing it for the first time, leading to the belief that it has an increased frequency of occurrence.[1][2][3]
Because its seen as edgy.
It's not just the indies, but you won't find the real answer on Cinemaphile. These people who voluntarily continue to read and watch western comics and cartoons are slaves by choice
/x/ schizos aren't going to give an answer either
Liberals, Christians would be mad and left wing gays would be mad. It's loose loose idea for stuff usually made for children. For adults you can get away with it, but even then, you either have to focus on the Christianity aspects or the atheist aspects.
the occult has cool writing tropes like dantas inferno and the like. only thing that sucks is that plebbit zoomer writing tend to just be centered around either how uber ceral hell is or breasts
Dante's Divine Comedy literally covers heaven you uncultured swine.
unironically tumblr, that place is full of witches subtly influencing people via spells. Yes Cinemaphile poster reading this, even you.
Evil people tell on themselves.
I just want to have sex with demon girls
