Date: March 31st, 2025 10:10 PM Author: Goldman: Arkham Counsel Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different. — Scott Fitzgerald (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5702975&forum_id=2#48801971) |

Date: March 31st, 2025 10:26 PM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) you can borrow my pw. it's extraordinarily XO to the point it's hard to believe it got made.
all the seasons touch on capricious rich libs moralizing as they enjoy luxury provided by working class people who must politely smile and nod as the libs gripe about their bs. first season features stuff like (1) young white men struggling with finding belonging, (2) bizshrews nonchantly disregarding house husbands anxieties, (3) sex with men, (4-7) dondarrio and sweeneys ample cans, plus many more.
second season is literally WGWAG |

Date: March 31st, 2025 11:05 PM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) it's a show about modern issues and tackles them honestly in a way that most on XO would agree with. hard to compare that to a weeb period piece. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5702975&forum_id=2#48802116) |
|
Date: March 31st, 2025 11:20 PM Author: potluck it’s barely comprehensible to 99% of this country and people (outside of ppl who like mike white are on the margins of normal humanity no offense) only watch it for the aesthetics tbh i was done after season 1 so maybe it’s better but i was mad pissed at people hyping that pos and increasingly realize it’s coming from people without families with an extremely superficial grasp on life outside their gay degenerate bubble |
|
Date: March 31st, 2025 11:32 PM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) the aesthetic gets birdbrains to watch a show where the main arcs in were sympathetic to white dudes and came out on their side. it's like shareblue zogbeams but trojan horsing xo into women's brains.
it sounds like you hated the stuff they creators wanted you to hate and just don't like that other people didn't get it. it's like critiquing amrican psycho because many fans don't under the protag isnt supposed to be admired. |
|
Date: April 1st, 2025 7:10 AM Author: Oh, you! Travel! (🧐) It's not trojan horsing anything. The whole style of "humor" and target audience is that of a New Yorker cartoon with a coat of paint inspired by a Wes Anderson film. "Hah, those zany White Liberals! I am Not Like Them at all!"
That's to say nothing of the fact that it's neither actually funny nor dramatic, and a show generally needs one or the other to be engaging. The full extent of the jokes is just someone nodding along and thinking "haha wow lol theyre crazy lol".
Imagine watching this show in 20 years. Even something like Arrested Development which has a ton of period jokes that will be jibberish to zoomers was built on top of actual gags and characters who go beyond a one line archetype so it will always find an audience. |
|
Date: April 1st, 2025 8:16 AM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) damn man i never considered that because it tackles modern issues it may not hold up in two decades so i should stop enjoying it while watching it in the period it was created in.
do you experience joy anymore? |
|
Date: April 1st, 2025 8:21 AM Author: Oh, you! Travel! (🧐) That's not the point and you know it, no need to screech like you're TBF. The point is the "humor" is entirely centered around smugly smirking at an archetype, there's nothing genuinely funny. It's a gagless comedy, just about inducing a sense of superiority and schadenfreude without anything that will actually make you laugh (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5702975&forum_id=2#48802500) |
|
Date: April 1st, 2025 8:25 AM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) that wasn't intended to be sincere brother, just a funny indication that i am no longer interested in engaging on breaking down why a tv show is or isn't good.
i find it funny, witty, and tackles modern issues in an honest, non-zogged out way that you almost never see represented in modern media. i don't think it introduces any superiority, it generally punches at people that are rarely the targets of criticism, and does a good job punching in every direction. what can i say? i like it. |
|
Date: March 31st, 2025 10:37 PM Author: Goldman: Arkham Counsel my top shows are:
Mad Men The Witcher (season 1, then it sucked) Fallout (my favorite recent show) Dragon Show (I quit after ~season 3/4, prefer the books, never saw the terrible ending) Sons of Anarchy (this show is mostly terrible but appeals to me as a Scumbag) Lost (only good for 2 seasons then garbage) Breaking Bad (first 2 are peak, 3 sucked, 4 had a great ending, didn't 'get' 5 at all) Battlestar Galactica (the 2000s remake) True Detective (season 1 obviously, I watched 2 and 3 but don't remember much, didn't care) Daredevil
I think that's most of the shows I have ever seen more than 1 episode of. |
|
Date: March 31st, 2025 10:39 PM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) white lotus is in mad men, bb, GOT, TD tier of actually good shows. the rest of this list is SLOP (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5702975&forum_id=2#48802064) |
|
Date: March 31st, 2025 10:40 PM Author: Goldman: Arkham Counsel Fallout is truly 180 and criminally underrated.
I'm not someone like you who puts big budget "prestige TV" in some special reverential tier.
Also Battlestar Galactica is amazing and not slop. Some of the others are slop. |

|
Date: March 31st, 2025 10:49 PM Author: Goldman: Arkham Counsel This is a major reductionist view of the show. My only real complaint is it is constantly advocating for race mixing, which is abhorrent. But you could easily take your same methodology of critique and apply it to any show in existence by casting it through the lens of conservative critique. You could come up with a hundred catch phrases why not to watch a show for every show that's out right now, but that doesn't tell you anything about whether they're good or not.
It's extremely well written, wildly entertaining, and breaks countless taboos of DOA lib storytelling in our current time.
Most people fail to understand that the underlying message of the show is that 1950s white America is uniquely poised to save the mudraces from themselves via a strict implementation of high trust values. A 180 conservative takeaway if I do say so myself. |
|
Date: March 31st, 2025 11:04 PM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) at least my (unserious) retort reflects i actually watched the show, whereas your conclusion about why i like white lotus is in a thread you created about how you haven't even seen it. and it's bizarre when most of your list is "prestige TV."
i don't think the point of FO was venerating 50s white society, i think that's you projecting onto it. goggins character is a ghoul that got fucked by that society. the society didn't save the mud races, it led the world into a nuclear apocalypse. the other protags are a yas queen pollyanna and a nigger overcoming adversity. it's hard to see the show as anything but a scathing critique of what you think it venerates. |
|
Date: March 31st, 2025 11:10 PM Author: Goldman: Arkham Counsel I never came to any conclusions about why you or anyone liked White Lotus. I just remarked that you tend to like the big budget, brand name stuff. Nothing wrong with that but it is noteworthy.
I do think the Ghoul is going to go deeper into his Commie views. I like how they made him an All American redneck guy headed for full blown Marxism. But he's also an amoral baddie. We'll see where it all goes.
The black guy was the weakest character but his scenes were at least entertaining.
While the show may blame corporate greed for everyone's problems it really does emphasize that the Pilgrims had it right and that high trust whites can show up to any clusterfuck and eventually sort it out. It's an ode to colonization. Also to anyone who thinks the main character's arc makes her a Pollyanna the whole backdrop of her plot is that she's slowly becoming influenced by her apocalyptic surroundings. The struggle between her virtuous upbringing and the fucked up reality of real life. I think anyone who sweeps her under the rug as one dimensional didn't understand the show. |
|
Date: March 31st, 2025 11:23 PM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) no i don't.
i don't think FO is venerating that any more than handmaidens tale venerates gilead for white dudes taking charge and getting shit done. it's a critique of that. |
|
Date: March 31st, 2025 11:27 PM Author: Goldman: Arkham Counsel There are hidden conservative messages throughout. I've never seen Handmaid's Tale so I don't really know what it's about. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5702975&forum_id=2#48802181) |
