Post that comic about Zyzz. It was pretty great.

Why do people still treat Zyzz as a martyr and a hero?

Surely the fact that he took steroids and died from having a weak body undermines everything he said?

I really hate this typesetting style.

He looks like a fag, cared more about looking good than functional strength, and died like a bitch.

Yeah, rip.

It's like kinetic typography but static and bad.

Here's an example of good kinetic typography.

It's also a /jp/-related song.

I still don't care about this person, and basically only recognize his name and picture - fuck all you new people.

When a person dies his significance and worth get hyped and increase tenfold.

>>11269907
No on gives a fuck queer, go back to your shit threads.

>>11269898
>cared more about looking good than functional strength
zyzz was strong as fuck

People only paid attention to Zyzz because he was both funny (not in a 'ha-ha' way, but more of a 'get a load of this guy' way) and was one of the most prime examples of somebody having too much self-esteem.

I always read the large words first.

I've seen some pretty cool typography demos, but there's a reason classic typographers never did shit like this. It's because we're human beings and not psychics/robots who knew were supposed to read the small 90 degrees words first, then the big 72-point words second.

Aww, it's so cute knowing you're 17 and into those sorts of videos.

Will you be reading philosophy literature next?

I just want to cuddle you <3

>>11269889
I have this but I know there's that other comic

>>11269907
Kinetic typography is also incredibly terrible.

It reminds me of all those bad sillicon valley hipster commercials.

>>11269922
As much as I hated him for this, I was also jealous as fuck. He was confident and didn't give a damn. You have to respect that.

>>11269930

I'm not 'into' any kind of video in particular.

You thought I'm into kinetic typography just because I know it exists and have an example of it being done well?

>>11269934

Nice try Zyzz's ghost.

>It's like kinetic typography but static and bad.

You seem to have a general idea. I can just imagine you looking up those videos. It's so cute. I wish I was born into an internet where videos were the norm.

>I'm not 'into' any kind of video in particular.

HNNNNGGGG

If you were Zyzz and tried to put your muscles to realistic use, you'd break your spine like a twig. Most bodybuilders are just that, they work out to show off their muscles. Sometimes you'd get a misguided runt like Zyzz once in a while, but the best way to handle them is to let them figure things out the hard way.

While I always thought Zyzz and his cult was silly, I did meet and make friends with a 19-year-old boy who was really into fitness. After some chatting, it turned out he was a 4channer, and Zyzz had inspired him to go from a fat nerd to a fit alpha male (and he was pretty ripped).

I don't get it, but I think it's cool that a random internet person can have that effect on someone.

Well, I can't stop you from believing what you want to believe.

Everyone should find something they believe in strongly. Your beliefs are part of your individuality.

Like putting him in a sauna until he dies?

But seriously, I don't care that Zyzz was muscular. I'm just jealous that he was confident and had high self-esteem, plus the credentials to back it up.

>>11269951
You know absolutely nothing about fitness or lifting. Please stop posting stupid shit like that, not only does it make you look completely retarded but some other uninformed people will actually believe you.

>>11269956
Do you have Skype?

>>11269961

nice try crossie but I'm a regular /fit/izen

>>11269958
Better get to work then.

>>11269961
Shut up, faggot.

>>11269965
>crossie
>I'm a regular /fit/izen

who troll here

>>11269961
Doesn't he have a point, though? I'm not a fitness expert at all, but I have seen people working crazy hard to get huge biceps and abs, and I always wonder what strain that must put on their spine. Can you "train" your back? Are there important muscles there?
