well*

oh okay

so not flawed, artistically, but flawed in a way that subjectively annoys me

i'm guessing they wanted to exaggerate the boyishness for whatever reason

are you going to draw a disney character in a brutal melee, like that is like Rousseau levels of.... well, dishonesty, in terms of what an actual battle would be like

lol

well here is the thing

well the boyishness is there to get the viewer to sympathize i guess, because it was humanistic... not that humanism is bad over all (it is what inspired more realistic paintings in the first place), but eventually they kind of double down on the humanism until it looks like disney, to get the most unempathetic person to say 'well this is a person, not an object!' or something

i'll address your other comment first

a painting is a static thing, painting something realistically, like a battle, it wouldn't convey the full gravity and feeling of the event
you have to understand that without music or movement, you have very little to work with in terms of getting the emotion and importance of the event across. so you have to exaggerate it to highlight those things

picture is still a thousand words

it's condensed a bit

we're just desensitized by the amount of 'feeling' or info that can be conveyed... in a lot of ways, movies and videogames are redundant in conveying these things

imo

sure

well, fun talk

i suppose you agree?

well i had more lol

but thats okay

yea, i have to afk

anyway so

Tbh i look at classic battlefield paintings and get more emotion than many action movies or games.

yeah, that's the point, and the point i was trying to make

The key difference is without studying, you tend to have less empathy with a picture than a movie or game because the movie or game has the advantage of getting you to relate or like the character involved.

But you can look at a battle painting and still feel the gravatas of it

Even without character knowledge

Its more of taking the scene in and feeling the scene as upposed to movies/games where the feeling is more character based

those paintings are meant to be epic because its trying to show the full scale of times

and the importance of the events

Both can equally move a person, but i see it for different reasons.

Because both have pros and cons depending on how they attempt

i knew it would trigger a response, and sure enough

i get a fucking wall of text from some eastern euro

A Jim Fan I do not understand your comment and it is misleading. First of all, Constantine the XI Paleologos was the last Emperor of Rome, albeit reduced at this time primarily to the City of Constantinople. When Constantine the Great founded the new capitol of the Roman Empire on the site of the Ancient Greek city of Byzantium (from which the empire later erroneously got its name from later Western historians) in 330AD, its official name was New Rome, the successor to old Rome. Therefore it was in effect Rome, the capitol of the Roman Empire now situated in the East. However, because Constantine The Great had founded.... etc. (YOU GET THE POINT)

it goes for another 5 paragraphs or something

is sucking the dick of a bunch a dead monarchs part of reviving eastern europe's past?

because that's unecessary double downing imo

someone even posted a comment saying "Rome may have fallen, but it's ideas live on."

and I responded "What tenets are those?"

They're not the ones who invented Liberty. You think they know how to use it?

no fucking reply

lmao

Jesus fuck, dude. Learn how to type a response in one go

nah

i have liberty

You're like a 12 year old school girl

your like an angry old man

<:oof:494878589406150657>

go to the gym more

At least I can formulate a complete thought in a single try, instead of spurting out nonsense in an act of emotion like some animal or child.

i dont see how its nonsense

judging by this attempt at bait, I don't think that's possible @Fitzydog

you've got a narrow lens, i would say

yeah it is bait, i admit

but what's wrong with that

i like to promote discussion

All I'm saying is, take 5 seconds to read people's responses, especially while you're typing, and re-read what you wrote before sending it off so you're not spamming the place up like a newfag

we must all be silent for the sake of the community comrades, do not bait ever

salt

yea

i brought something up, RWA got angry... for some reason.... he thinks what I wrote is bait, for some reason

calciumsulfate nigga moment

you're just being a retard

are you going to go into detail, beyond "you're writing bait" and "don't spam"? This is history, so I brought up some history for discussion

"let me stir shit because muh discussion"

https://twitter.com/ETreharne/status/1086541194090373121

haha that's awesome

stir shit about what? is someone triggered by mention of byzantine empire? I dun get it

tbf you said you were baiting
but i have no clue what you guys are on about lol

But i agree with RWA's original point.... the eastern euros didn't invent liberty, so they don't know how to use it....
Indeed, that is true.

It's weird how they get so stuck in the past. That doesn't happen with the west. The west has a very 'that was then, this is now' attitude, but eastern euros and middle easterners and asians, africans, etc. - they always seem to emphasize how glorious the past was.

The west used to do that too, but the romantic era didn't end well (and abruptly at that). Anyway...

@AlanPowell l Yeah, I was trying to bait a discussion though, not just provoke arbitrary emotional reactions. Came off bad, sorry bout that.

Anyway...

Can we get some motherfuckin train facts

And on this day, January 21st, we celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr, who ran the underground railroad to free the slaves alongside his good friend George Washington Carver (who invented America).

Not History @Puma

Neither is what @Broo TulsiGang 2024 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 posted

Both are based on the same thing

the one Broo posted looks like an actual propaganda poster, what you posted is from pink floyd

Yes

Both are about the same historical event

But I see you are a man of culture as well @AlanPowell

it's a stretch tbh

When I post stuff from the trial then you can call me out

lol

But the amount of Pink Floyd in here will be limited to Goodbye Blue Sky, When the Tigers broke free, and the Great Day of Freedom
