And also why do you like it, what is it saying?

I’m trying not to think about reality and want to hear about the far edges of people’s moral horizons.

    I like finding and reading old zines, there’s an amazing mashup of pornography and counterculture and early tech wizardry geekiness to be found in late 90s and early 2000s zines that just can’t be replicated anywhere else.

    If you tried to make them today, you would just be a poser.

      False. Idolizing that snapshot and discouraging human output misses the point entirely and is the worst poser take on the subject I can imagine. Curated sips of ancient counterculture are just pretentious self indulgence if you aren’t drawing inspiration, and disparaging those who would actually participate is extra gross. Go make a zine about how much you love old zines, it’ll be fun

      I wish I could find an archive of Funny Animal Fan zines but search engines suck so much fuckin taint now, I’ve had no success.
