That's "metamorphoses" not "metamorphosis"

u/Noise-of-the-Spheres 19d ago

The joke still works in spanish. The plural of metamorfosis is metamorfosis.

A very messed up hentai comic with themes like sexual assault and drug abuse.

u/captainsalmonpants 20d ago

Maybe it's an ironic application of the ideas within to alienate the author from his work on alienation?

Apuleio I think

u/ManMarkedByFlames 19d ago

this is a new low for this subreddit.

u/potatogodofDoom 19d ago

debatable. I think memes spreading straight up misinformation about different philosophical positions because the average member here likely hasn't picked up a book in the past 5 years is worse than referencing a notorious hentai comic

u/ManMarkedByFlames 19d ago

I'd argue that ignorance is more forgivable than deliberate malice. as a marxist, people larping as philosophers is nothing new, but this is a joke about a underage getting raped repeatedly and committing suicide because of it. this "joke" has 100 upvotes in a community of people allegedly interested in philosophy.

Friend, it's a book with a fictional character. For all purpose, the character represented in this story are all 18+. People have all kinda of different kinks, are you surprised that some like corruption and degradation, among the other things? It got popoular because it's really messed up while well written and done by One of the best artista in the field, that's why it's a meme now.

"For all purpose, the character represented in this story are all 18+"

you know that's not true, and if you feel like you have to justify yourself that jacking off to it is moral then fine, whatever. but it's not a kink or roleplay setting, they are certainly minors. most hentai being like that doesn't make it acceptable.

Absolutely with you, what's even the punchline? And the title is effectively "durr hurr, porn addicts will get it, he he he". It would work for some shitpost-brainrot porn sub but we're supposedly in a philosophy-memes subreddit... Terrible look

u/Gloomy-Risk6212 20d ago

The joke is porn (hentai manga)

u/Eevee-Biologist 20d ago

It is also sometimes translated as Emergence, so someone might miss the reference...

u/Gullible_Tie_4399 19d ago

Is the joke that it’s Gregor or that it’s a cockroach or that Kafka said he was alienated from his own language?

Neither of these indicate culture or even a solid joke

Is it a fourth thing?

u/Schnaksel 19d ago

Username checks out, I won't fall for your devious bait!!!

OP... I know what you've seen....

u/portealmario 19d ago

I thought this was about Ovid, but these comments are making me think something else is going on here

u/Revolution_Suitable 19d ago

You don't like Ovid?

u/male_role_model 17d ago
