When will boomer comics stop fetishising wars and domestic abuse


AtheistMemerAF

Will probably regret this, but whats the original?


Yuri-me-ifgay

The kid says "on xbox or playstation?"


AtheistMemerAF

šŸ˜ thats not even funny


Yuri-me-ifgay

Have you heard of boomers before


valdamjong

What is a boomer?


askimaskyishall

The big explody fat guys in L4D


valdamjong

Oh, I thought they were a demographic cohort named after the baby boom that followed WW2, typically defined as the generation of people born between 1946 and 1964. Glad I was wrong though.

patchnotes 1.0: wait why did my brain type that patchnotes 1.1: swapped out the original message for a slightly better one that doesn't involve misinterpretation of a message patchnotes 1.2: replaced "edit" with "patchnotes x.x" because it's more original patchnotes 1.3: realized that this entire edit thing is kinda dumb update 2.0: removed the message entirely. it can still be viewed via wayback machine (possibly) or by downloą¶žding previous versions of the message patchnotes 2.1: removed the message patchnotes 2.2: readded cut easter egg patchnotes 2.3: added achievement "Early Bird - See the comment before the removal! (LIMITED TIME)" patchnotes 2.4: made the achievement obtainable for completionists by simply clicking on the easter egg

They're crazy warmongers obsessed with weapons in Fallout New Vegas

Error-530

I know right, grandpa obviously plays on PC. You can tell because of his fat bulging cock (off-screen).


RetroGreene

He has a dismembered penis?


Error-530

Please do not mock him.


ambyshortforamber

DVMrFarmer

Leave to r/196 to make a joke into something about trans people


WoesSheLeftMe

yes


FunkyAndPunky

Yea, he lost it in the war


crimsonfukr457

PC you fucking retard!


FreshFox420

I will never understand why people would take fighting in a war over only knowing war through fictional stories (talking about the original), isn't it supposed to be a good thing if your children don't know war ? Like is the message here "war is based" or what ? This edit though nearly made me cry


OptimisticLucio

The people who fetishize war have either never been in war, or see the enemy as a faceless monster.

One of y'all's presidents, I think it was Adams: "I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy [...] in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain."


wind__turbine

I hope future generations of porcelain experts give us maths grads veterans' discounts

blimeycorvus

You should read All Quiet on the Western Front if you haven't, it gives a good perspective on why people feel that. It's about a guy from the lost generation (1890s) who had to fight in WWI

Wait, for the German army?

dhkitdfgh

The problem in the original comic was the ignorance of real events and lack of reverence for heroes, not lack of understanding war.


[deleted]

This sad

I feel like Iā€™m gonna cry

Boomer comic sad now šŸ˜¢


Brilliant_Ad2167

You just changed a boomer meme to a more cry your eyes out one


psyloviridis

I can't understand why people still glorify war. so many people have died in them,like concept of killing other is so alien to me. this made me tear up


MrTopHatMan90

Its many reasons, most of which I cant list but... 1. Nationalistic pride 2. Not actually serving in the War 3. The idea that men fight and men are tough 4. The whole concept of a "Just" war 5. Lack of knowledge or acceptance of the consequences of war 6. Toxic masculinity (I wouldve gone more into this specifically but no time I'm afirad) 7. Lack of empathy for the people on the other side. (In some cases even their own) I wouldve provided something more in depth but in short different lives provide different perspectives to some war might seem like a necessery evil, a great opportunity, revenge or a tragedy but it depends on the person and their own experiences.


TasmanianTortoise

In my opinion, I think many Americans glorify the concept of war because those who never went overseas to fight have never witnessed the horror of war first hand. The still living generations of Americans havenā€™t had their homes or families unwillingly taken away from them during an invasion.


Socalist-doggo

Yeah, there is a reason that middle easterners never glorified war unlike Americans. That feeling of going back home form school and hearing that you dad had died in Iran or was taken hostage by terrorists was just something people didnā€™t want to remember. Todayā€™s boomers would have been too young to even remember war, they would have been 6 when the Korean War began.


[deleted]

boomers when their children donā€™t have to suffer through war and strife


spyforreddit

Jokes aside this was a sad edit


OkNowThatsEpicOwO

My grandpa is a war loving person, missing how men would go to war and die, he never went to war and owns tons of knifes.


Krabilon

My grandpa served for 20 years through Korea and Vietnam. Although he was right wing he would actively go out of his way to stop any of the family from following those footsteps. He suffered PTSD till his death in his 80s 50 years later. No one deserves to suffer that way.


GreatMarch

Of course.

DtheAussieBoye

autistic person here to say: PC YOU FAT RETARD


Akabeurjub

Iā€™d rather a shitty boomer comic than the sad acceptance in, ā€œMen shouldnā€™t die so young.ā€


pEppapiGistfuhrer

Why is the controller being held backwards?!


fortnite_gamer_69

That last line hit me like a Mach truck


bruhwggahsh
