Nobody talks about the termites killed by anteaters...... it's right there in the name. ANT eaters. No one even cares that they eat more termites than ants. There's a stigma

STIGMA CLAWS IN YOUR NEST

Hey, do you like the consept of cyberpunk futures and the vibes of analog technology?

Well I've got a series for you. Max headroom 20 minutes into the future (the show) is conseptually very similar to cyberpunk. I'd go as far as to call it early cyberpunk. But it was made before a lot of the technology we have was developed so the dream of a cyberpunk future is set in a lot of analog imagery.

Not all of its aged well, but what has is fantastic and I highly recommend it.

Max Headroom is absolutely Cyberpunk! It was heavily influenced by the works of William Gibson, Sterling, Cheap Truth and Blade Runner. The people writing the show intentionally made it a Cyberpunk show after being inspired by early Cyberpunk media. 

It’s sad to see people too young to know the roots of a thing going back and making statements like this. 

I’ve already heard people talking about Ramones and Sex Pistols in a similar light. No one seemed to have told them they were the start of Punk Rock, so they wrote lengthy, ill-advised, articles trying to place them as some sort of pre-punk that, instead of having started the genre, existed just before it in some proto-state no one knew of. 

Just because nothing has made it big since the 80s doesn’t mean we have to re-define things from that time period. 

I think ive said it before but you really gotta feel bad for oedipus that wanting to fuck your mother got named after him. He really did not want to do that . It is central to oedipus rex how badly he didnt want to do that. Dick move by freud

is this even funny i dont think its funny im not putting it in the tags

How has this comic made such a groundbreaking cultural impact without getting over 40k notes
