What is this new buzzword? Also what books are there by shitskins that are worth promoting and uplifting? Outside of some Asian authors, I have never read anything good by non-whites or women of any race

Why is contemporary art so cartoony

[Anonymous No.14668212]

>>14668201
It’s meant for plebs and is to be designed as cheaply as possible. It has no soul

[Anonymous No.14668261]

>>14668201
Because it's digitally made and is the easiest "style" to replicate among art graduate retards. Digital art (such as concept art for movies and video games) has a steep learning curve. Most digital art is immediately recognizable with it's smudges and far too much color smoothing.
>>14668212
Partially right, though earlier book illustrations had the same simple style but we're far more professional. There are just so many girls and diversity hires cosplaying as "artists" so that it's become very cheap. The publishers used to be able to sell what the audience wants and to trust that the artist knows. But now the audience and the artists has developed shit and soulless taste.
In summary:being an "artist" has become a normie fad.

isn't this stuff ultimately good? it's just forcing you into grow up and build your own institutions if you want anything of your own? would be worse if they subtly cucked you, but when they openly cuck you it exhorts you into action, so if you don't liberate yourself there's nobody you can blame but yourself at that point

>“We use the term BIPOC to highlight the unique relationship to whiteness that Indigenous and Black (African Americans) people have, which shapes the experiences of and relationship to white supremacy for all people of color within a U.S. context. We unapologetically focus on and center relationships among BIPOC folks. ”
>“We address how three pillars of racism – Native invisibility, anti-Blackness and white supremacy - are internalized and show up in mutually reinforcing, distinct, and specific ways within BIPOC spaces and impede our efforts to collaborate across difference;”
We offer a vision of solidarity rooted in reimagined relationships between BIPOC in an anti-Black, white supremacist society. — thebipocproject.org

Check out Marquez, a Columbian. Or Dumas, an octoroon. Also the Invisible Man by Ellison is the sort of book all these POC authors are trying to write. It's like how Lord of The Rings is just badly attempted by most fantasy writers.

In the genre of civil rights narratives written by non whites the things that are actually good books on their own merit are the ones that are still read like 50+ years hence.

Homo Sapiens Servitus: the ultimate global slave race.

A human being stripped of inconsequential (and inefficient) qualities like ethnicity, history, race, culture, nationality, creed, and even sex. The perfect "blank slate" human wagecog to remove and insert into different parts of the global production machine depending on where it's needed. It's only qualities are its preferred pronouns and what brand of shoes it likes on that particular day.

When Melville wrote Moby Dick, the only thing that he had in his mind, the only motive force radiating from his r*cist, r*cist heart, was excluding and upsetting fat, black, 105 IQ women in times to come. (Ditto for Romeo and Juliet, by the way.) Everything else in that novel is inconsequential, and pretending otherwise by putting a FoC (fella of color) on the cover is even more racist, which is, for those of you keeping track at home, double-r*cism. This is the kind of thing that only a bald, facial-scarred man living in a volcano would think of doing.
