Being in love with a computer was seen as comically absurd 20 years ago

The literal hundreds of sci-fi novels and stories about men falling in love with robots or androids.

You've mistaken geeks for people. Common enough, but try not to do it again.

Slop or not, it still shows that there was a zeitgeist that considered the concept seriously and not exclusively comical. In either case we are just seeing another "mouse eating the elephant" scenario with counter cultures becoming the predominate in western society.

It going back that far does not make sci fi fans the general population.
>>149486920
Counterculture isn't dominant; there's just a lot of evil geeks around trying to shove their sick machine minds down everyone's throats. The moment you give people the less geeky option they take it; see the success of Love Island at a time when there is nothing else but the geek's beloved prestige TV dramas on. Therefore even if you make the claim that geeks are more accepted than they were before (which is foolish) the implication of saying they are a counterculture proves that it was not a commonly held belief at the time.

But the contention here is that it was seen as only comedic and the implication it is ridiculous that today it is not. As I stated it is clear that this is not the case and your example is explicitly a comedic kids cartoon where just about every concept will be used in some comedic fashion regardless of whether they are consider serious or not.

No the joke is that Plankton is so pathetic that he had to create wife, not that it was a sterotype.

I assure you she hasn't a brain and she hasn't a heart
And her chips would feel no pain if you took her apart
And she'll never know good from bad, or black from white
And she'll never know happy from sad, or wrong from right

She's nothing but diodes, capacitors, and resistors
Interconnections, and transistors
Jammed together like canned sardines, thousands of teeny-tiny machines, printed on microscopic strips...

... called, chips.

And that's comedically absurd. You must be from a culture where all of the funny guys were executed or deported by the various caesars and despots.

Yes, much like Squidward's misanthropy and depressive outlook on life. If that is comedic in the show does that mean as a whole it is seen as comedic outside the show? Of course not. Besides you suggested Plankton is a sterotype of nerds who fall in love with computers and pointed out that is not the punchline, not that it was not comedic. If you can't understand the context of the joke or even the nuance that comes from humor I don't think you should be slinging stones in a glass house.

Not that anon, but fuck you idiot guy. Max always makes highly polished works and has made tons of short films and full-on series all by himself. He never fell off. No animator can even dream of touching his greatness.

He's a lazy closeted homosexual that fell off. I am sorry but this is the truth.
