badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

They wear their underwear on top of their pants. If you do that, you've already lost once you go outside in the morning.

Maybe they just didn't feel like laundry today

The superheroes are all woke and unamerican. Punching Hitler and the like, it's disgraceful.

How you have a guy called captain america and he disagrees with your ideals damn near most of the time hahaha

Because they ain't on my level vegeta-stare Thats why they stick to beating a bunch of poor folks on the streets. Once they play with us big boys it don't end too well for em. data-laughing

They wouldnt even last a day in my world. Their most popular hero's nemesis is a fucking incel clown and that guy has a body count in the thousands lmao. In the real world that mf would be 6 feet under even in the dumbest timeline. jokerfication

If we count the X-men then half of them are busy fighting the us government.

Gonna take this opportunity to drop a criminally underrated gem: Marshal Law. Easily the best 'deconstructing the superhero genre' comic ever written imho

Is he supposed to look like a Nazi in a gimp suit

[–] Andrzej3K@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

I mean he is a cop

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

I'm guessing yes

What I do like about Marvel is they did deploy their heroes in WW2. Captain America, Bucky and the Invaders (Namor, Human Torch, Toro, Spitfire, Union Jack etc).

Just none of these guys are exceptionally powerful. Maybe Namor but he got more powerful as he aged. So they could be the tip of the spear but not win the war instantly.

The Human Torch did burn Hitler alive though at the end of the war instead of what happened IRL.

Plus the Nazis had their own supes. Master Man, Warrior Woman, Iron Cross etc. uhh Thor that one time Hitler tricked him into trying to kill Stalin.

The soviet union even had a WW2 "Red Guardian" their Captain America.

There was a neat comic a decade or so ago about "The Crazy S.U.E.S." (Special unit enhanced soldiers) which was about all the minor WW2 marvel superheroes (who in real life had comics during WW2) and the gimmick was the IRL comics were the in universe propaganda in WW2 and when the stopped getting published IRL that was because the supe had been killed fighting Nazis in universe.

Most if these guys had real minor powers or no powers just Watchmen style.

DC hitler had spear of destiny to keep the superheroes from entering Germany lol

The problem I had with that is surely there’s still something Superman can do to help the war effort (in universes where he was around). That SMBC comic where he’s a transitional source of renewable energy by cranking an electromagnet, or IDK helping a shipyard pump out aircraft carriers etc

They're too busy beating up impoverished people in alleys

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

I feel like superman should be able to spare five minutes to clear out the Ho Chi Minh trail

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Have you not come across Watchmen?

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Omg I love rorschach too bad the author went woke

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's gyros. There are a million gyros in New York

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

If spiderman ate Greek street food would that be cannibalism (Both because of the gyros, and the spiders in the meat)

Because they’re all Homelander
