you mo'fuckas brought me into this dumbshit conversation by invoking me directly
so now you get to reap the fuckin' whirlwind that is my opinions
the worst part about steampunk isn't that it's a dorky, lame non-genre of uncreative aesthetics haphazardly slapped together
the worst part isn't sticking a bunch of watches on your boot and a gear on your tophat
no
the worst part of steampunk is the people who try to make other things into steampunk
by that i don't mean a guy who redraws Darth Vader as a steampunk automaton
i mean people who insist shows, movies, or books are "steampunk" when they're nothing of the sort
some fuckers keep doing this with legend of korra and i want to take a hot shit in their fucking mouths
Steampunk isn't even a solid genre, though, it's an aesthetic.
Legend of Korra has "steampunk elements", just like how Legend of Korra has "anime elements". Legend of Korra is decisively, however, not steampunk or an anime.

I used to think steampunk was cool and then I realized that I just would prefer my fantasy stuff has advanced roughly to steam and black powder technology
I studied with that girl from my Japanese class again today (she legitimately needs some help with the class these days and I don't mind helping someone out). In class she usually wears pants, long sleeve shirts, jackets, etc. Today to meet up to study with me she wore ridiculously short shorts and a low cut sleeveless top, clearly showered and put on makeup before we met up, etc. Did a lot of stretching while we studied that conveniently arched her back or otherwise showed off her figure... and while we studied she mentioned her boyfriend about once every 10 minutes.
At this point I have no interest in the girl (gonna leave for Japan, no interest in breaking up a relationship and then leaving) but I do find it hilarious just how mixed her signals are.
Bitches always playing with us brah.

I figured it was more of an emotional distinction, like if you shit in someone's mouth in a calculated and dispassionate way then that would be a cold shit.

see you're mostly right saying legend of korra has "steampunk elements" is wrong
none of the things you could call "steampunk elements" are unique or derived from steampunk
none of them
yes, legend of korra has a very 1920's vibe to it (airships, jazz, classy gangsters, etc.), but that's where it's drawing its inspiration from
the 1920's
and a smattering of other shit
none of which is "steampunk", although steampunk also pilfers from the same things
the sex pistols are the quintessential british punk rock band
if you see another british punk rock band nowadays that is pulling the same shenanigans as rotten and vicious
If the anarchism thread ever had rails, then the conversation has most assuredly gone off said rails.
That conversation is just anarchy at this point.
did the wackysauce OP ever keep posting after that first day or so?
hey, speaking of which that pastor (of the "the bible consists on only those elements I like and no more" variety) who made the games-and-theology thread disappeared before he ever replied to your stuff. I would have liked to see what he came up with there.
It's art from a tabletop miniature wargame called Warmachine (it can also be played against armies from Hordes, which instead of having giant robots have giant monsters). From a gameplay perspective it totally blows the pants off of 40k in my opinion. There's a lot of strategic and tactical depth to be explored, it's a much more combo driven game than 40k. I find it really interesting. I'm contemplating amassing a rather sizeable army of it while I am in Japan. But I'm having lots of fun with my medium sized list in the meantime.

Ah, i see...
i assume it's like most of those kind of games and it needs a significant investment... Meh.
lot fewer minis than 40k. A lot. But like warhammer the investment is in painting time not money. You'll spend 100x as much time painting than playing the game.

So I guess everything is just imitation of the ancient Greeks when we get right down to it? :P
it seems like 'it's stupid looking' is a good enough reason to think steampunk is lame. like, without some sort of reductive exchange about influence... the aesthetic looks dumb.

Actually, pony, on the Nick website, they claim it's Steampunk.
Republic City is everything that Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko fought for when they ended the Hundred Year War. With balance restored to the four nations, benders and non-benders can live together in peace, in this thriving metropolitan area. But even the steampunk paradise of Republic City has its problems, as the next Avatar discovers. When Avatar Korra arrives in Republic City to master her airbending, she comes face to face with criminal bending gangs as well as members of a vocal anti-bending revolution. Before long, Korra's Avatar skills are put to the test when she encounters a group of Chi-blockers led by the charismatic and mysterious Amon, who threatens the city and all the benders in it. Despite the immense danger, Korra vows to fight the growing anti-bending revolution. But will she be able to stop Amon before he rises to power and makes his vision of a bending-free world a reality?

Less than 40k, more than a videogame. You can get to a 35 point army (people usually play 35 or 50 pt games) if you are economically focused for sub $150 which is a steal for a tabeltop miniature game. However, you'll want more models of course, for more variety. And then if you want to play in tournaments you usually are required to have two lists (35 or 50) with character restrictions between the list (if there is a named character, like the mercenary Gorman di Wulfe, he can only appear in one of your lists) so you have to get more models, etc.

This is assuming a lot, isn't it?
It's like you're certain that the creators of Legend of Korra aren't influenced by steampunk at all?
Anyway, whether the elements were derived from steampunk or not they are steampunk elements insofar as they are elements that are in steampunk.
I could say that the sex pistols has 90s pop punk elements and I wouldn't be wrong; there are elements that are shared between them. This isn't to say that the sex pistols is pop punk, or anachronistically that pop-punk influenced the sex pistols, just that there are elements common between them both.
EDIT:
Let me concede, though, that I get where you're coming from initially: a lot of people don't understand where these elements originated and misattribute them, and that can be annoying. I'm just being pedantic about the other junk.
Winky on

yes, i'm sure some guy whose job it is to write those summaries thinks that, sure
i could give a fuck less
that's like the guy who wrote the review of the show for Variety calling it steampunk
does not make it so, duder
this is intellectual laziness
you have a fantasy show that isn't caught in the retarded stasis field of pre-industrial technology that burdens fantasy and makes it a near dead genre
so people go "herple derp, it has technology but it's fantasy! it must be steampunk!"
go back to community college

It's not that complicated, and if a label fits I don't think it matters if the person using it knows they are using it right.
When I went to the Ren Faire it was the "official steampunk" weekend of the Faire.
Which means, while some people had like, actual steampunk costumes, a lot of people did the token effort of just like, throwing a gear on their existing outfit.

Bitches always playing with us brah.
Needs more bear.
If your close to dying from hypothermia, perhaps.
Also an extremely over-produced game with really interesting pieces and artwork.
so yeah, suck it with your judgeathon pony
Probably the biggest fault in the game.
You can get Trolls riding on buffalo though. That's pretty bad ass.
Whoah, what's that? That looks cool.
