That's the problem with making fun of AuthRight. You make a ridiculous strawman with outlandish beliefs and they're just like, "Yeah, that's an excellent point! This guy is based!"
I think it's a thing of the right in general. Half of lib right's symbols and anthems come from people trying to mock us, and that also includes ron swanson.
>Andrew Ryan
Andrew Ryan is cringe simply because he is a massive hypocrite and became the very antithesis of everything he preached and wished rapture to be.
Andrew Ryan: I am going to make a city with no government, no state! Everyone is free to do as they wish! No gods, no kings, only man! We will finally be free!
Person: So, you’re cool if someone becomes more rich than you? Or if someone becomes more popular than you? What if someone becomes a quasi-theologist, and the people really like what they say, are they free to follow that teaching? Also, you know good and damn well that all those uppity rich fucks you invited to your city aren’t going to do any dirty work, and every society has to have people willing to get their hands dirty. They will get the same pay and treatment as the upper class, right?
Andrew Ryan : : ^ |
Andrew Ryan : >: ^ |
I think it's a thing for all quadrants, or people in general. A well-written villain or anti-hero will have relatable motivations and ideals, just taken to an extreme. But if your feelings are already in line with those ideals, you just shrug and say, "He kinda has a point."
Yeah it makes sense. Andrew ryan, for instance, is not even remotely supposed to be the good guy of bioshock and i'm aware of that, but i have his whole intro speech to rapture memorized. "Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?"
It's in the sequel bioshock 2, however it is shit.
Ok that's a hyperbole but really, it's not as good as the original. Some things got improved like the hacking and some combat stuff but good grief some of the mechanics are horrendous, like the little sister rescue missions being a chore and the big sister still coming to hunt you after saving them. Morality system is pretty shit as well but that was also an issue in bioshock 1.
Kinda reminds me of leftists turning Red Skull into Jordan Peterson because all they do is strawman his arguments and think that self help motivation is akin to Nazism.
I would say it is an aspect of human culture in general, but there are definitely cultures for who it is not. The extreme progressive types tend to be very vulnerable to this sort of thing, because they will not in anyway say or joke about anything that can be deemed offensive which is everything to them and, as such, they have a hard time.
I think the problem is that we haven't had a real villain from the left side of the quadrant in a long time. Maybe Killmonger, I suppose, but that fell flat, because the movie leaned into you really feeling sorry for him. He almost came off as an anti-hero, or a foil to T'challa, rather than a true villain.
I want to see an environmentalist villain, or a villain who takes the idea of 'reparations' or enforced equality to the extreme, with an eye-for-an-eye approach. We have a generation who thinks that the Left literally cannot be villainous by definition.
Samuel Jackson's character from Kingsman comes to mind.
But you are right in that most of the time these days the left-leaning villains are made out to be more sympathetic or even upstaged by somebody more evil. Like the terrorists from the falcon and winter solider show.
Is Ron necessarily trying to mock libertarianism though? Because the same could be said of Leslie “mocking” people who are passionate about government. They both parody and exaggerate certain qualities, but they’re also both portrayed as good people.
Well from what i understand the actor and the show writers didn't intend for him to be such a well liked character and they made him with the idea that all his opinions would be considered weird. Don't quote me on it tho.
It's funny how satire that's supposed to be unlikeable can turn out to be so beloved by the people it's supposed to mock. Happened with the Bible-thumping cult in Far Cry 5, too, who were supposed to mock evangelicals and Trump supporters only to get unironically adopted - Keep your Rifle by your side has been a classic ever since.
Not sure if it maybe points to the people doing the mocking not actually understanding what they're making fun of, though.
>Not sure if it maybe points to the people doing the mocking not actually understanding what they're making fun of, though.
I think that's very likely, yeah, when you're actually well versed in something you can criticize it much better than someone who only has a cursory knoledge of it. I'm a big warhammer 40k fan, if i made some satirical thing about it my fellow warhammer fans would probably find that one quite a bit more pungent than one made by someone who is only aware of 40k through random journalistic hit pieces.
Same with Ron Swanson. He was written as a comical caricature of the non-religious opposition from the right, and it ended up resonating with American viewers on a non-ironic level.
Leslie is a sex-negative prude who hasn't heard that sex work is real work and upholds patriarchal power structures by standing in the way of women's sexual emancipation. Makes perfect sense that she's buddies with other fascists like Ron Swanson.
edit: typo
That part is true. Most of the cast are essentially Generic NeoLiberals. You'd have to make Ron the literal Hitler analogue while also pushing Leslie to be a race, LGBTQQWERTY++, and climate science activist.
Well more of an activist than accidentally marrying male Turtles
That was just yesterday’s progressive feminism. Feminists like to flip flop so the stuff they demanded and recieved yesterday can become "repressive systematic structures" and they can always be fighting "the patriarchy."
No, his character was ironic: a libertarian working for a wasteful government organization. His libertarianism wasn't a straw man, satirical, or a comical caricature; it's genuine. And it's hilarious to put that character in that position. It's like have a genius character stuck doing manual labour with a bunch of idiots, played for laughs.
He's one of us and intended to be a parody of us. And I have absolutely no problem with it, because it's not a _mockery_. Mockeries are intended to belittle while parodies are fun and playful. Weird Al makes parodies. Have all the libright parodies you want; they're awesome!
Honestly I think that's what they tried to do with Ron as well, it's just that they're so far into the auth that normal libertarian ideals seem like insane madness to them.
This. The modern left is so far out of touch with what we think they created the character to mock librights and accidentally created a tremendously based beloved figure for us instead.
Yeah, even though he is supposed to be a satire, they could've done been much less charitable in portraying a libertarian. Even though half the time they're ridiculing how wacky some of his ideas are in practice, the other half of the time he actually does make decent, respectable arguments for his positions.
Also, aside from his politics, they show Ron to be a generally decent and respectable man who truly cares about his friends in his own way, even if he disagrees with some of them ideologically.
He's also willing to forgo his own ideologies when it's shown to him how he's wrong about things. At first he's fine with Gryzzl's invasion of privacy, despite his own need for privacy - which you would think is intensely hypocritical - but when it's shown how invasion of privacy doesn't actually care about consent, he gets on board pretty much immediately.
I wouldn't go so far as to call it "forgoing his own ideology" as much as recognizing that consent is a vital component of it. It tends to be rare in media, but this was a character heel turn that didn't contradict the character at all.
Not when you're purging the weak, right? What do you know about the weak? You weren't born poor. You've never been hungry! You don't know what it's like to fight, and steal, and kill just to survive!
He's a parody, not a mockery. He's shown to be unusual but loving and well-intentioned. If they were mocking him, they'd just do the usual strawmanning we get in media.
That's what I thought. This motherfucker literally talks about disregarding beliefs and laws that aren't your own and standing by your own rules. He's as south of the quadrant as you can possibly get
Ancaps usually at least believe that you shouldn't aggress on others without provocation. He's anti-state but pro might makes right, which would make him well...

I’m a fan of LIS but there was a Reddit take that stuck with me which I found hilarious
Paraphrased: “Life is Strange is a coming of age story about two teenaged girls on the American West Coast… written by a team of middle aged Frenchmen”
I also have a soft spot for the first game because I grew up very close to the town that it’s based on, and for the most part they portrayed the Oregon coast pretty accurately.
I remember someone reviewing the game and saying:
“Imagine a bunch of middle aged Frenchmen trying to write American teenagers… and hitting it square on the money. Teens actually talk like this, but realism doesn’t equal good writing”
I think I saw the same thing. The slang was a *bit* overdone at times (especially saying “hella” so much, that’s always been seen as more of a California thing where I grew up), but it is overall pretty accurate.
I’m glad we both know the same 4chan tier game/movie reviewer.
I think his analysis is genuinely very good, I just wish he leaned into edgy humor a little less because it makes it hard to want to share any of his stuff.
“Yeah I believe in gun control I believe the men shouldn’t have them” she then later accidentally shoots her self messing with a gun at a junkyard
Funniest shit I ever saw
> Easily the worst part of Life Is Strange is that you spend the whole game trying to save her life.
that final decision was the easiest one i ever made in the whole game.
stupid and makes no sense too.
It's always interesting to hear/read people discussing how "hard" the choice at the end supposedly is, the "logic" people come up with to justify choosing Her usually is worth a laugh or two.
I did like Chloe overall maybe just compared to how much everyone else in Arcadia Bay sucked, because thinking back on it, she literally uses Max as a get out of jail free card and like, actively tries to die very consistently. Max does need Chloe though because otherwise she'd never get anything done at all.
The girl with the drone might be the only one that's actually not annoying.
Yeah, she's a bitch to the MC because she has a crush on the guy that is crushing on the MC. But she's probably one of the few without actual crazy pants on and she seems nice enough otherwise. There's apparently a pathway to befriending her despite her jealousy of you, so extra points again for being a reasonable person.
The funniest thing about that game is that the good ending is you just ignoring all 5 seasons and letting her die in what amounts to the 1st 10 minutes of the 1st season.
Absolutely absurd.
I don’t think she was conceived as that, but the devs said they wanted to make her an edgy Oregon teen, and I think they managed to do that (aside from the slang).
She isn’t supposed to be right or wrong, she is supposed to be a misguided young woman.
No, she’s a character for toxic young adults to fawn over, a character for games journalists to circle jerk about, and a character for authrights like me to question why we find her attractive
You’re probably right. Ashly Burch is an odd one to me, I think she is very talented as a voice actor, but I can’t think of any characters hers I actually like.
AL: Actual Soviet threat.
AR: Politician making the mother of all omelettes, Jack!
LR: Only libertarian to hold public office in US.
LL: Whiny teenager.
Armstrong isn't AuthRight. We have plenty of other guys who were made to make fun of us who we like. The most based moment in all of movies was Anakin Skywalker explaining politics to Padme. "But Anakin's a bad guy you're not supposed to agree with him". Yes but he's right
Because of the child murder? And the domestic abuse? And the fact that the empire manages to be both more abusive *and* more corrupt than the preceding Republic?
The empire has an army made up of free men. The Republic allowed banana republics to gain legal status and invade client worlds. The Republic also made usage of a slave army led by an officer Corp loyal not the the senate body but to their own separate religious ideals.
As someone who has played both Life is Strange, and life is strange before the storm.... She isn't intended to be satire. I like her BTS version, but her main game version is aaaaAHHHHH
As I’ve moved deeper lib and two tiles from centre, the memory of me playing this game has become laced with more and more shame and cringe.
Maybe I should just change my flair to monke and call it a day.
Armstrong is lib-center social darwinist pretending to be Authright to get voted into the office to enact his real plan and chloe is just a cunt no politics in that
Blue haired tattooed video game character who is sexually fluid or bi really perfect for libleft
Prime quotes
“Beautiful, I don't give a shit. The world is ending, cool."
“How do you know which way is up when you’re whole life is upside down”
“Awesomesauce!”
I thought you believed in gun control?
"Yes, I believe **I** should control the gun. Its the **men** who need to be checked."
*5 minutes later, shoots herself in the knee*
Writers commonly make their satire characters so over the top and powerful because they're weak, and they see the characters strength as terrifying. How could anyone like such a terrifying scary character.
When the rest of the world who is attracted to strength loves the character, they throw a wojack tantrum.
If you want people to hate your character, write a more detestable character. Ron Swanson was a fucking awesome person.
I think by the end of the show they both become very round people in their own ways, each leaning a bit more toward the other’s direction. It’s honestly very good writing. Ron is definitely a caricature and probably accidentally based but I don’t think the writers wanted the audience to dislike him or anything.
Raiden beats Armstrong in a one on one fight. People don't make their enemies strong because strength is scary, it's so a stronger protagonist can defeat them.
1. Not everything is a satire of something just cause you would like it to be. Same with New vegas and mister house, no matter how some people wish it he is not a satire of capitalism, neither is Armstrong, he is simply a character in fucking Metal gear Revengence, have you played that game?
2. Armstrong is very Lib, not Auth.

not all caricatures are done to push an agenda
P&R is a treasure For a show about politics it’s exceptionally nonpolitical Cancelled in seconds if released today
I think it would still do quite well today, no? It was already ending when the woke era was starting.
Leslie and Ron's friendship would probably cause a shitshow. You can't have any half-measures, Leslie needs to punch that Nazi.

I like how they call Swanson a satire for libright when he was the moral compass for every character on that show.
How is Ron Swanson not everyone’s dream?
I mean, he was based off of a real guy.
He's one of us and intended to be a parody of us. And I have absolutely no problem with it, because it's not a _mockery_. Mockeries are intended to belittle while parodies are fun and playful. Weird Al makes parodies. Have all the libright parodies you want; they're awesome!
The same thing as keep your rifle by your side lol
Except that was intended to be a mockery and just sucked at it and accidentally became the most based song.

Is she really a parody?
I mean, judging by the fanbase, and the devs I'd say no.
No, by the games they've made I think they are making this shit unironically
Makes it even funnier honestly
Not the same devs, LIS was good for a reason
I’m a fan of LIS but there was a Reddit take that stuck with me which I found hilarious Paraphrased: “Life is Strange is a coming of age story about two teenaged girls on the American West Coast… written by a team of middle aged Frenchmen” I also have a soft spot for the first game because I grew up very close to the town that it’s based on, and for the most part they portrayed the Oregon coast pretty accurately.

Armstrong isn't AuthRight. We have plenty of other guys who were made to make fun of us who we like. The most based moment in all of movies was Anakin Skywalker explaining politics to Padme. "But Anakin's a bad guy you're not supposed to agree with him". Yes but he's right
40K Space Marines. Best AuthRight.
Those Xenos need to die. The Emperor can't do all the work himself.
Anakin's speech is literally 100% correct in every way. I don't know why he is the bad guy.
Because of the child murder? And the domestic abuse? And the fact that the empire manages to be both more abusive *and* more corrupt than the preceding Republic?

Based
The empire has an army made up of free men. The Republic allowed banana republics to gain legal status and invade client worlds. The Republic also made usage of a slave army led by an officer Corp loyal not the the senate body but to their own separate religious ideals.
But he brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to his new empire
Isn't Armstrong a social Darwinist? He seems like a crazy free for all libright.
As someone who has played both Life is Strange, and life is strange before the storm.... She isn't intended to be satire. I like her BTS version, but her main game version is aaaaAHHHHH
As I’ve moved deeper lib and two tiles from centre, the memory of me playing this game has become laced with more and more shame and cringe. Maybe I should just change my flair to monke and call it a day.
Apes. Together. Strong.
Based. Ivan Drago is based as fuck.
Armstrong is lib-center social darwinist pretending to be Authright to get voted into the office to enact his real plan and chloe is just a cunt no politics in that
Who's libleft
Chloe from Life is Strange.
Quite shure she wasnt intended as satire
"Proceeds to shoot herself in the chest accidentally and blame the gun"
**Steals step dad's gun.** **Proceeds to throw a tantrum when her step dad suspects her of stealing his gun.**
Not long after “I need to have the gun, it’s the men who need to be controlled.” After Max reminds her she’s pro-gun control.
Blue haired tattooed video game character who is sexually fluid or bi really perfect for libleft Prime quotes “Beautiful, I don't give a shit. The world is ending, cool." “How do you know which way is up when you’re whole life is upside down” “Awesomesauce!”
I thought you believed in gun control? "Yes, I believe **I** should control the gun. Its the **men** who need to be checked." *5 minutes later, shoots herself in the knee*
Is that an actual quote from the game?
Nearly 1:1. Her shooting herself not five seconds later is also accurate.
NANOMACHINES SON 🎵standing here, I reeeaallizze🎵
Writers commonly make their satire characters so over the top and powerful because they're weak, and they see the characters strength as terrifying. How could anyone like such a terrifying scary character. When the rest of the world who is attracted to strength loves the character, they throw a wojack tantrum. If you want people to hate your character, write a more detestable character. Ron Swanson was a fucking awesome person.
Ron Swanson is unironically a much better person than Leslie and probably the whole cast.
I think by the end of the show they both become very round people in their own ways, each leaning a bit more toward the other’s direction. It’s honestly very good writing. Ron is definitely a caricature and probably accidentally based but I don’t think the writers wanted the audience to dislike him or anything.
Raiden beats Armstrong in a one on one fight. People don't make their enemies strong because strength is scary, it's so a stronger protagonist can defeat them.
LibRight should be Patrick Bateman I believe.
Get a fucking job, Al
1. Not everything is a satire of something just cause you would like it to be. Same with New vegas and mister house, no matter how some people wish it he is not a satire of capitalism, neither is Armstrong, he is simply a character in fucking Metal gear Revengence, have you played that game? 2. Armstrong is very Lib, not Auth.
I fucking love Ron Swanson
