  • The problem with this comic is that (evangelion spoiler)

    spoiler

    the entire reason the angels are attacking humanity was manufactured by a few humans. Shenji is being forced to clean up his dad’s/NERV’s mess.

    This comic is placing responsibility on and shaming Shenji, the stand in for a person who just wants to watch a cat video. That doesn’t really track to me.

    I’m not saying folks shouldn’t do anything just because they aren’t directly responsible. But there’s a little bit too much shame in this post for my taste.











  • Thought about this some more so thought I’d add a second take to more directly address your concerns.

    As someone in the film industry, I am no stranger to technological change. Editing in particular has radically changed over the last 10 to 20 years. There are a lot of things I used to do manually that are now automated. Mostly what it’s done is lower the barrier to entry and speed up my job after a bit of pain learning new systems.

    We’ve had auto-coloring tools since before I began and colorists are still some of the highest paid folks around. That being said, expectations have also risen. Good and bad on that one.

    Point is, a lot of times these things tend to simplify/streamline lower level technical/tedious tasks and enable you to do more interesting things.
