The subreddit got 50k users within two weeks, it is most watched in some Netflix regions and contains a lot of "steampunk"(?) elements, but remains lib in a lot of places.

If we are the first to condense a critique of it, it might get some traction.

Picture exemplifies part of the userbase.

In the end BIG SPOILER and CW:The trope evil dissociative identity disorder antihero does an 9/11 against a "liberal" company council that just voted for peace and giving away half their land to 'The Nation of Zuon' - links to the nation of Ziom are completely random.

Voting too little and too late for the independence when the motherfuckers in the lanes needed reparations and the ability to build an entire society away from Piltover. Jayce helps maintain a fucking cartel over distribution networks and supplies. The whole city needs to burn lol.

Silco and Jinx did nothing wrong

[-] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Silco definitely did some things wrong; but Jinx is the most tragic character I've seen in a while and her breakdown after being left behind rend my soul in two.

Yeah, I was shocked by how good this show was in general, I knew It was going to be animated brilliantly and sound good, but it was actually written well on top of that.

The good and fun of the show made the ideology more painful to me. Pitlover is the liberal techbros dream of a rational society guided by ideas and good speeches (if a charismatic strong independent leader who wants the good pushes for them at least).

There were quite a few good scenes, arches and teary eyes for me, though it isn't materialist or Marxist in the end.

Imagine how amazing shows could be with that budget if it wasn't bound so much to a profit oriented company.

it was alright. the ideology is pretty brainfucked. also did a small racism by making ekko 'the poc more in touch with nature' trope

what really took it away was that buff noxus lady's effeminate servant lmao. show can be trash that shit made me happy
