why are people like this?

Because people seek validation above all else OP and only a small fraction of people are genuinely interested in things. See also: People that reference Idiocracy like it's a prophetic masterclass of film as though it isn't a schlocky comedy movie making fun of 2000s society that regularly aired on fucking Comedy Central.

i assumed that, in an age of ai art panic, people would at least do better with examples of "real human art" instead of focusing on cynically made shit

What are you referencing, anon?

Easier for them to watch episodes and clips of shows on youtube or steaming than to read a comic.

>>149380407
Nah people just want to bolster their own viewpoints by sharing them with others and that's most easily done through collective shared experiences. At least half of the people involved in the pro/anti AI debates are only involved because it gives them a platform to get immediate support from their peers. People genuinely interested in anything, from art to ethics, are a minority of the population.

What does being interested mean here? Autistic fixation?

Watching requires less energy than reading
Eurocomics are overhyped and still not as good as good manga

>>149380906
Kind of have to agree with this. Eurocomics often have good art but the writing is usually borderline incoherent.

>>149380906
Shut up weebturd

Panzer Dragoon got me into Moebius

Actively wanting to seek out new and relatively obscure content in a field instead of just following whatever's popular or what you grew up with. Most people listen to top charting pop music for social reasons, people genuinely interested in music look deeper. Etc.

That's how I got into Moebius. It was my first serious encounter with comics as art. I read Moebius comics along with Watchmen and Akira, and to this day I'm still chasing the high I got back then.

>>149382850
Good for you.

>>149380906
Eurocomics (specifically the ones from Britain) are as good as manga.

>>149381768
>>149381781
looks cool

>>149378887 (OP)
finding translated Moebius works is not that easy

>>149385343
Just learn French, it's one of the easiest languages to learn if you know English

>>149385364
i already know every other language in the world besides French and my brain just cant hold anymore

Stop dickriding the French

They love eating poop and raping infants

Wojackshitters aren't allowed to talk down on anyone.

>>149378887 (OP)
Every time I see someone bring up Moebius, I'm reminded of how Dragon's Heaven was killed in the crib.

>>149385343
There's a bunch, especially now.

>>149385343
Do you mean buying? I downloaded most of them in english.

>>149385445
>They love eating poop and raping infants
So Americans with better art

>>149382850
>I read Moebius comics along with Watchmen and Akira
Got some insane nostalgia just from reading this

>>149380906
Then stay at /a/?
Also some of the best Japanese stuff was directly inspired by Moebius and wouldn't exist without him, like Akira or Nausicaa. I'm not even gonna start on his influence on America.
>Heh, best? Morel like entry level slop, try Preteen Panty Quest XII and then we'll talk
Don't care, not /co/

>>149386966
You too?

>>149386998
>Also some of the best Japanese stuff was directly inspired by Moebius and wouldn't exist without him, like Akira or Nausicaa.
but they're better written.

You can always spot Moebius at a thousand paces thanks to the hats.

>>149387451
The Incal is about as good as Akira.

>>149378887 (OP)
You mean like what you're doing right now?

>>149378887 (OP)
Because they watch mindless slop but don't read even if it's picture books

>>149378920
Yeah well a lot of things that we made fun of sadly keep becoming more and more common place

>>149378887 (OP)
yeah

>>149378887 (OP)
People. Don't. Read.

This is the big truth bomb. If it's not a show or a movie that can be passively enjoyed people just won't make an effort.

1. Whenever a moebius drawing is posted literally every comment is something like “Moebius <3” and the “account doesnt credit the artist” thing is less and less common.
2. These people were not and are not ever going to read an entire comic simply because they saw an image they liked on social media. Let alone a translated French comic they would find weird.

This hasn’t been true in decades. What you are even has a name: hipster. In every corner of media a large mass of people always make believe they’re finding the new and undiscovered thing and that it’s totally better than the thing the normies are viewing or listening to. And yet what it’s served to do is fracture culture in general so that nothing is big anymore.

What’s most depressing is that you think you’re any different or that your interests make you better than anyone.
