That word implies something was originally good and pure. Which seems an unusual take.
> I find it disgusting actually.
Why do you find it more disgusting than the behaviour it is calling out? I think there's a moral imperative to challenge bad behaviour and satire is an effective method.
- mda 5y agoAre you sure all the rants that the author inserted there are true?
- andybak 5y agoYou've already admitted you gave up after a couple of pages. Which parts are you disputing?
- mda 5y agoEven the first page, it implies it is made by the original designer. It is disingenuous from the start. And actually i looked a few more pages, the quality of the content is quite bad.
- bayindirh 5y agoLet's look at what the PDF file says: Leah Elliott Contra Chrome ... a little down in the address bar: "Remixed from Scott McCloud's Google Chrome Comic" Next page: Again "Leah Elliott" and "Remixed from..." notice. So the actual "remixer" isn't hiding or anything. On the actual webpage, there's an "About" link, which is not hidden or anything either.
- jefftk 5y agoIf you click through the link to the website (instead of the PDF) it starts you off on the first page of the comic (not the introduction) with no indication that there are earlier pages. Which means it starts off sounding like it is something Scott McCloud wrote.
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoEverybody loves parody until they feel targetted.
- mda 5y agoDoes that mean "All parodies are good"? Please.
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoThis means one would read it as tasteful in another context, and is so biased to move the goal post when suggested so.
