Repost on Expansionism

Journal Entry: Fri Aug 17, 2007, 8:15 AM
  • Mood: Artistic
  • Listening to: "Big Time" by Peter Gabriel
  • Reading: Nothing
Okay... here's a reposting of what I myself
wrote a while back...

Expansionism is nothing new. It has been
around when the comics and later in the motion
pictures long before Willy Wonka (or Charlie)
and the Chocolate Factory. Movies like the Our
Gang series, Three Stooges, and Laurel & Hardy
were into stuff like that, but only in certain movies
and in certain plots. Then there was The Man with The Rubber Head [link] :
a silent short movie of a man who made a head of rubber
in his own likeness, that after it was expanded and deflated,
and then, thanks to some clown, later exploded! Sure this was
1901 and nothing more than superimposing the film, but
it was long BEFORE special effects ever became
the cutting edge effects we see today.


Then there's the comics and illustrations... Edward Lear
with his limericks had me ROTFLMAO long before the mere
mention of the PC was ever made. Edward Lear's illustrations
showed VORE, of all things! Not the hard vore, but the softer
albeit funnier form of vore and gluttony. If you *DARE* find a
book of his limericks and nonsense in a book store or on
ebay and it has the illustrations, you can see proof positive of
it all. Yes, it is in some form of literarure besides Lear's Limericks,
and Roald Dahl. Lovecraft did so, too.

And I don't see why some folks didn't see it often in the old
Warner Bros., Disney, Terrytoons, Fleisher studios and Metro-
Goldwyn-Meyer cartoons? The vintage cartoons were doing
water and air expansion long ago. Why? For the sight gags to
precipitate the gales of laughter from the viewing audience,
of course!

Let's not forget video games! The classic game DigDug has it,
Mortal Kombat II and up has it with Kitana's finishing move,
Super Mario World and those P-balloons, and let's not forget
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess with Midna's attack.

There are other games with that theme, but I don't know.

But sadly, some folks at dA only think of the horrible implication
that someone is busy getting their rocks off at those because they
couldn't see it as past history of a comedy sight gag, but as a
FETISH. And so, being trained up in the ways of many internet trolls,
they make scathing and really disparaging flames about the fetish
part of it
. Sad, isn't it? They never looked at the past history of
expansionism, and never see it from that P. O. V., but you don't
have to guess about that. The need to suspend belief for even
a brief moment to even think or use thier imagination in that direction
would mean the end of the world for them.

Whether it's inflating, stuffing, pumping, filling, fattening, or pregnancy
in a media form that isn't hurting anyone, it's just ANOTHER FORM of
SURREALISM.

Did anyone get that word?

Start with the very word surreal [link] , then the art stylings pertaining to surrealism [link] , or just Wiki it to find out. You will see that it is just another form of art.

That's all it is.
