Vain glory oxymoron

There is the worst schedule in the world, within the libertarian dystopia, it could be one's own.

Still thinking about how vain-glory this Stockholm condition to capitalism is, Insecure status roles lead to lying about work-schedules that and the exploitation of passion an industry addicted to mass-market advertising.

What a way to indicate as little passion and to creative industries.

A pull the ladder behind oneself.

Greg Capullo has been... lying about his work schedule, and there are others who lie about their work-hours too. Only with my sensitivity with a physical coach and my own.

These syllabuses of others life will never translate into your own, regardless of the truth. Should not degrade into Tik-tok Clip farming, edited for SEO.

Professionalism is whatever they want it to mean for them, including getting dominion.

Since then, He may have back-peddled, yet this advice will all crop up again like the Bulgarian training split, it refuses to die because sex sells.

"to this day still cannot wrap my head around direct market comics pros and them not just being relentlessly exploited, but frequently being eager about that exploitation, proud of their exploitation, instead of once ever thinking "the way our bosses treat us is ****** up"
this Justice League America page by Kyle Baker came out in May, 1991. It is 33 years old and you still see comics pros enthusiastically acting like this


the only group of creators that i think ever act this ******* eager to get ****** over instead of acting in their own interest against their bosses and publishers is like. Y.A. fiction writers

*** still remembering when BOOM! only paying $50 a page for artists for awhile was *a publicly known thing* and plenty of comic artists were still going "yeah i'll take that job". you'd get better pay for far less work doing a handful of SFW fursona headshots on a twitch stream

comic pros are so frequently a very strange combo of being incredibly prideful but simultaneously having very little self-respect or ability to act in their self-interest"

"You'll find the exact same attitude with many people working in creative industries, like animators and video game devs. Stockholm syndrome for capitalism coupled with insecure narcissism for the own status, I'd say."

Sorry to log back on and jump into being depressing, but...for what? 1995 is not returning. You are not going to become Capullo by sacrificing friends and hobbies. You cannot become a rich man via comics anymore. And you don't have to sacrifice your health or a social life to be a great artist.

Imagine breaking your back and stressing yourself out for poverty. Baby, that is INSANE. You have a better chance getting rich with scratch-offs. I am so serious.
If you love comics? Make comics. Make them on the side as a hobby. Do not expect to become rich from them. Yes, even if you are incredibly talented. And fast. Also, the industry doesn't give a **** about you. Because NO industry gives a **** about employees.
And I'm not saying this to be mean, but to prevent another me. Big-name creators giving advice on breaking into comics is like a Boomer who bought his million-dollar house in 1974 for $20,000 giving real estate advice.
You go to a Capullo or Lee for advice on the artistic process. Perspective, shading, breaking down a stellar action sequence. They are BRILLIANT. Don't go to them (or ANY '90s/'00s star) for advice on how to get rich or get on Batman in 2024. They don't know.
100% this. Their skill is largely (and will likely remain) unmatched. They are artists in every sense of the word. But they do not know - and can never know - what it is like to start in their industry *now*.

Ruthless Direct response = Logical Postivism


 As these view others through analytics where one must figure out how to get a return. That's a reality check.

Social media Is simply a means to logically positive the publishing companies from the world to see if this is a viable means of publishing. For the mass-advertiser. So it comes to that moment that can it be compatible from the Eros positivism from others.

There's no direct way to hack it, it's only a direct way to tell a producer or a commercial publisher this is viable.

It may not be though, unsatisfyingly, that's why being famous for fame's sake is infamy for infamous sake.

None of it matters, it's all data to be scraped from the top. Logical Postivism is their method of thinking, and it may be out of date with all the others like the philosophers who abandoned it.

Urgh, Guardrails are going to be off.

Symbolic Libido, Hyper.

A quick Touch-down on a kink.

Etymologically, it means beyond, yet beyond is another way to say symbolism. Symbolism need the antithesis of the factuality to work, for the wish-fulfilment for the beyond ness. The one-dimensionality is the point with all the flatness. The part of legend, myth, and tales that makes a character part of the mystic, rather than what was a more non-romantic writing movement did.

The non-contradiction is the point. The Arch-typer of sexuality is the point, the 'other' is the point. For more reading on symbolism, Richard Mckee has it on Character.

There is no swindle, with what's displayed.

We are what we consume



Unfortunately, with the prosumerism, it really aims from the mass-marketer, the lowest level denominator.

All this metaphor, except of the commercial one. The intakes of what we do today form the new patterns of what we express tomorrow, it's really with how are our attentions are made repeatedly into the actions. No wonder direct marketing exploded, it's all the point where trigger attention makes way towards sustained attention.

Attention ecominising is real, with this moment we proceed with all the money that's guided us. With the way they've design to verify, verify for the right points of paying for, and what?

When Commercial publishers hire Kim Kardashian or Twitch streamer Ninja for a graphic novel (ugh). There is only one reason, nobody in their right mind will see any Eros, or personality. It's those numbers.

All of this behaviour means that we all of this paranoia. The paranoia of ad-creep.
