One of my favourite aspects of King of the Hill is that, at times, I can’t quite tell if its entirely a satire of small c-conservative sensibilities, a strange sort of celebration of them, or a odd combination of both.

I wonder if there are any reasons for the re-emergence of Lovecraftian horror?

Great article. I’m planning on writing a directed studies paper using Paranoia Agent as a case study to examine Jean Baudrillard and Slavoj Zizek’s critiques of modern-day technological society and it was great seeing such a well cited article. This helped a lot! Thanks.

Really nice article! I’m wondering what this implies about the current Japanese worldview. Unlike Nietzsche, who seemed to think of the ubermensch in terms of moral development, or the Nazis, who thought in racial terms, both of these works (fitting in with the modern day image of Japan) seem to focus on technological or scientific advancements being key to this evolution of humanity.
