Why is post apocalypse so enticing as a setting? This is also a Anon Babbleitical question. Is it because it frees us from bureaucracy, smartphones, passwords, bills and gives us something meaningful to do? Building all these mechanisms back up again?

What's wrong with her head. It looks like it's upside down or something

I would die. I also have a lot of enemies, so maybe that’s why it’s enticing to some

the insistence on putting the ugliest people on screen and gaslighting the masses into saying they're beautiful feels very Satanic.

wtf is their endgame?

It acts as a cathartic release at seeing a world without obligations to banks and bosses while reinforcing that society and government are protecting you

any situation where i have carte blanche to eat other human beings is a plus

She's a teenager who makes chirstian songs videos on YouTube

Forcing a innocent Christian child to portray a dyke whore. Typical.

What an unfortunate creature.
Other than the hour long gay faggot marriage episode, this hideous visage is what made me stop watching.
I was afraid of the main character instead of the zombies.

Societal collapse is the only viable option for the total removal of women's rights, which everyone subconsciously knows is the right thing to do.
(((progressives))) are merely anti-conservatives. Their only purpose is to oppose normalcy and tradition.

In truth there is no way to escape the Ellullian efficiency landscape while smartphones and AI are ubiquitous

Why is it so enticing?

It's a deliberate psyop to make you believe that you would survive a nuclear war because you are the "main character."

In reality 99% of all human an animal life would be dead within 90 days of the opening salvo from the environmental and infrastructure damage that it would cause. Then all the downstream issues like unattended chemical plants exploding, nuclear power plants melting down, etc.

They do this because they want you compliant with the military industrial complex, MAD diplomacy, etc.

paying her millions and making her dreams come true

World is very big, majority would easily survive nukes which could not even bring down a concrete small building at ground zero Hiroshima
Tech would survive nukes too

Using money to poison someone's soul. Typical.

You don't have to go to work.

Is that Jay Leno?

Scavenging is work
You arguably have more freedom within confines of dystopia if you have some sort of money funnel going however small it may be

thats not what I asked

Hiroshima

It's incredibly tiresome going through why this is not comparable to modern nuclear weapons every single time we have one of these threads, so I'm just going to call you a retard.

It is true freedom and isolation while being able to take advantage of the resources made available by society. The zombies component is simply what makes it believable as a fantasy. We all are sick of society's rules and particularly how it protects dysgenic types, or even emboldens them in the case of goblino jews who get rich and powerful despite being pathetic little cockroaches that would lose a fight with a toddler (yet we are supposed to believe these are the descendants of egyptian laborers kek).

I don't like post-apocalyptic based stories as they're inherently transphobic. They make it seem like it's okay to depict a world where trans surgeries are not a possibility.

Why did they hire the ugliest white girl possible? It's uncomfortable to even look at someone this hideous.

I thought people were shrinking her face with Photoshop, but if you Google her, she is a real person.

Electricity

Runnnng water

Social programs

If you think you're living the same or are facing the same challenges you would in an apocalypse, you're a moron.

sense of feeling lonely

sense of feeling the world is against you

sense of being unable to gain wealth and security

sense of feeling too weak for the world and its challenges

sounds familiar?

You're proving my point since the support of society amounts to "at least there's running water so you have something to drink"

What if you're too bored to tackle the challenges? Scavenging of any sort is pretty mundane stuff

What's wrong with her head. It looks like it's upside down or something

transgender + autism

You fucked somuch thatthe bridge collapsed

Ai said this I conciously agree with it

How am I proving your point?
The thread is about an APOCALYPSE, not whether or not you have running water... You won't. Running water in an apocalypse would take hard back breaking labor. Serious sacrifice and hardship.
And you forgot

Electricity

Social programs.

Even if you were homeless, it's nowhere NEAR as bad an apocalypse. Not even barely close. How old are you?
Honest question.
What is your age?

Is it because it frees us from bureaucracy, smartphones, passwords, bills and gives us something meaningful to do? Building all these mechanisms back up again?

less bullshit activities and more character building?

Holy shit she looks hideous and creepy

Because you hate being in serbia.

and making her dreams come true

Horrible fucking show

look at this pride mural I wonder what it means, said the lesbo. .

If you want post apoc try "earth abides". Much better.

"Post-history" nation-state democracies appear so stable to people that live in them that they can not imagine any other way of living that does not involve atomic holocaust or zombie outbreaks destroying the system. At the same time, such states are so utterly boring and sterile that they are drawn to such fantasies as an outlet. Post-apoc fiction offers modern people an escapist world more similar to their ancestors, with constant warfare, food scarcity, and more personal "big man" politics, etc. The masses yearn for real struggle.

Bong genetics

Do they cast for the ugliest women they can find nowadays?

Trvke

Do they cast for the ugliest women they can find nowadays?

They only cast kikes for any roles nowadays, being a white Christian actor in pedowood is nearly impossible, almost every single role is given to Jews, regardless of talent, one of the major reasons movies/tv have been failing so bad

Whites can't rap

Whites can't rap

The greatest rapper to ever live was a white guy, niggers and jews seethe about it, but you kikes got some great blackmail on him since he went full Hillary Clinton supporter like all your blackmail subjects did. You are fucked with YE since you don't have the cousin thing anymore

Why is post apocalypse so enticing as a setting?

Because the rules that confine us as a species are gay as hell and ruin our spirit. Modern society is bloated and overpopulated, and there's no where left to go. That's the problem.

It's not though.
Maybe normies are hypocrites.

Because it's an easy setting for no talent retards who can't create interesting settings.

Boo fucking hoo incel just kill yourself already

Oh yeah? And what's an interesting setting then?

too much government restrictions on life, the only way to enjoy freedom is through a total collapse of what's keeping you from buying/doing what you had the right to do even 50 years ago.

now you need a background check to buy a firearm, drive a car, grow plants, etc.

things got worse after 9/11.

government corruption is the number 1 driving force behind the desire to see the world in a post apocalyptic world.

the only ones that stand to lose anything is the merchants and government dogs.

What's wrong with her head

her

they hired shane gillis for the role, i feel like the whole thing is a skit from "killing tony"

In countries that are more lax with these requirements you also have zero protection if something goes wrong and it will if you distinct yourself in any way

you've been brainwashed to accept jewish beauty standards. 90% of women look like her or worse. This is why men aren't having sex. They set their standards too high, when a plapjak gf is really the norm.

ai is a lie.
what they mean by ai is people that were capable of thinking outside the box, while "rogue ai" is those that broke out of the containment.

i've seen in, the fear in their eyes when they see those that have broken out, terror.
they run away in fear, they try to gaslight us into fearing them but they're the ones that fear us.

the script has been broken
the narrative exposed
we won
game over

you have zero protections wherever you go.
the only guarantee is yourself, your own labor and your community (and even then the community can be a snare in the end)
everything else is a liability

that's overtly simplified, layers are what matters.

Shalom.

The creator is called Druckmann. Fitting.

It took the place of westerns/far west scenarios in the popular (mostly male) imagination.
It represents freedom, meaningfulness, the important things in life (survive, build, family, maybe religion if you believe).
Up until 1960-1970, western was the genre used to appeal to that idea, that wish, personally because I think the great frontier of the Far West was still relatively new, all things considered.
Nowadays, in a fully globalized world, we can only concsptualize such a scenario in a world where everything that ties us down (banks, office work, bosses, millionaires and corpos...) go away, made to dust in the flash of an atomic bomb or transformed in living corpses by a mysterious plague.
It's never going to happen but it's a sane wish to have, nowadays
(Tits are only to attract attention, of course)

It's the subconscious recognition that most people are zombies for the billionaire class and that they will turn on you to eat (kill) you if you step out of line. Zombies aren't a futuristic setting but rather a reinterpretation of the present.

It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven,

Most people subconsciously or consciously know the current world we live in isn’t going to last much longer. The subconscious create these stories as a way to conceptualize what a true post-modern world would look like. It’s a mailable world to write it because there is a great amount of flexibility to explore ideas in. You can either do what McCarthy did and explore the howling loneliness and raw violence. This is where you get the narratives about the futility of holding onto old world values when the new world wants to snack on you. The problem is most writers take the “collapse” to historical extremes while simultaneously commenting on current political issues that simply wouldn’t survive. The last of us is a great example of this. In a world where a humanity ending fungi is infecting people modern political issues like faggotry and tolerance would get tossed right out the window because food, shelter and not being eaten by fungi monsters is more important. The first game installment set the story up for greatness but the writers dicked it. The conscious are those who are “in the know” and the programming is meant to drop hints to the populace to warn them in a weird effort to absolve their karma or some other new age bullshit.

No its the elite masons punching out these themes so we get used to it and wont resist it when it starts

But if you tow the line then you too become one

first game was good in presentation but it was too normalfagged even with that, especially with superfluous mediocrity of every single character. mccarthy went full retard with the the road premise aka everything dies instantly

Civilizations greatest promise was that one day it would end.

Because it removes all of the abstract nonsense between a human and their labour that sucks the meaning out of life. Its infinitely more fulfilling to eat what you kill and live in what you build with your own hands or local community compared to the disconnect of working non-jobs like some retarded supermarket cashier or a legal secretary who does their dumb job for hours only to receive some paltry digital numbers on their phone that say they can go buy x amount of useless slop every month.

Nope, it's the scavenging the vast ruins of abandoned civilization what is interesting

It's not that interesting when it's the civilization you were living in just a few years ago. Just go urban exploring, the novelty wears off pretty quick.

looks like rocky dennis

You can't go into random buildings and scavenge like that
But I agree you can get the gist of it
Did you guys read (about) Junger's Eumeswil? His concept of Anarch basically conforms to the tyranny and resorts to making his daily chores interesting through fantasizing about various things that are supposed to make him free
He unironically wrote that and I mostly agree
The only thing is, smartphones make everything much less avoidable

I think it's a way of mediocre people to believe that they would survive in an apocalypse. But to be a survivor in these scenarios requires extraordinary strength, skill, wisdom and intelligence. Your average person lacks most of these skills but it's easy for some fat redditor to imagine himself owning a reclusive farm and living off the land, or some tiny woman to believe she won't be immediately killed or sold into sex slavery, or some child to believe they are special.
To truly survive, you'd need to do some unspeakable things. Murdering and scavenging, seeing those you love die, watching the world crumble and losing hope when you realize even canned food has a shelf life. But normies think "me get gun and live long life!" Because these stupid movies give them hope. Apocalypse are built in a complete lack of hope.

Moonrise Kingdom did it right, casting two slightly wonky protagonists. But they were sympathetic and attractive in their own way, and acted in a way more than appropriate to the plot, theme, and tone.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Gilman

Bella is comically, weirdly unattractive, bad at acting, and is standing in for a character who was conventionally attractive, in a game that was very well received, specifically for its character moments, that have been thrown away due to bad writing. It was a terrible casting choice, but exactly what Druckman and co deserved for punishing the fans with LOU2.

We need to punish men who invested emotionally in the relationship between a man and a teenaged girl

Oh, you don't think a 14yo Bella is sexually attractive (she's 21), you sicko

They can suck it and lose money and subscribers.
This is GOT-level failure. Nobody is going to rewatch this shit.

Druckmann also skinwalks the franchise that was made by another guy

implying they don’t have their bunkers because they know it’s going to be complete chaos

The only thing they haven’t figured out is how to prevent getting smoked out of their holes.

first game was good in presentation

It’s presentation isn’t important for its story. It’s a run of the mill 3rd person over the shoulder adventure game. The Last of Us part I set up a solid post-apocalypse story of an old world order trying and failing to cling to relevance in a completely alien landscape. There were actually interesting themes that were left on the table to explore. The writers of part II and the show were handed a framework to create something great but couldn’t help themselves.

mccarthy went full retard with the the road premise aka everything dies instantly

That isn’t the premise. The premise is there is an unknown event that broke shit so hard humans became tribal monsters and nobody knows what is actually going on.

it isn't an unknown event, read the book again. everything ceased to bear fruit since the earth became unresponsive. last of us is one of the best 3rd person shooters ever made, it's very ungenerous to call it run-of-the-mill anything.

I would tie up fresh zombies and fug them.

t. Watching the walking dead series because bored of ladyboys and stuck up thai bitches

the layers are there to blind and distract you to the simple truth, which i already stated.

"It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism." It's not because people like zombies, but because there's no other way for someone to imagine a world without Coca-Cola. If there's a sci-fi story with a functioning society, it's always capitalism. If there's a sci-fi story without capitalism, the society is dystopian, dysfunctional, or non-existent (we are being raped by aliens or robots or regress to cavemen).

apocalypse so enticing as a setting

Only when you're under 30, both physically and mentally

Niggers can't create civilization, and kikes can only subvert it.

I think people with guns and outdoor activity dream of a post-apocalypse word less than others

it isn't an unknown event, read the book again.

McCarthy never specified what caused the end of the world. He just made the world end. I’ve read the book several times.

last of us is one of the best 3rd person shooters ever made, it's very ungenerous to call it run-of-the-mill anything.

the point

your head

The gameplay is merely a vessel for the story, which is solid.

Why this bitch look like a potato?

Is it because it frees us from bureaucracy, smartphones, passwords, bills and gives us something meaningful to do

It's more simple than that. There's far less people in post apocalyptic settings, and there's no laws. People haven't adapted biologically to modern life and never will. The most adapted people are liberals, and they're pretty dysfunctional despite liking this clownworld.

Because most people in the west have never really been hungry.

She looks like one of those burn victims who have a reconstructed face

That isn't an answer. There are thousands of autistic trannies but they don't look like female clown mirror versions of Chief O'Brien from Star Trek.

most of you niggers can't even camp for a week
you have no idea what hardship is
you romanticise it

it's because it's coming soon, and our culture is trying to prepare us for it

Nothing will happen, capitalism will always adapt
