This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.
Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”
ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m
can we have some context to this, perhaps?
Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.
Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.
That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.
(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)
just fucking read it

This is actually a really, really good example of well crafted satire?
Like this part, in their society, making use of a ‘sex cave’ (a cave where you go to have sex, nothing else) is normal, and marriage is a new controversial ‘thing’ that couples are doing

and Fred and Wilma go on a retreat with other married couples to just.. talk about marriage, until these people run in on them protesting

And this bit, too

And Fred gives an explanation about how ‘non-breeders’ (gay couples) do good and how they wouldn’t be there without them
Please, just read it
