arby's. we have the bees

then again i think it's cringe to use perfectly cut screams and tiktok audio every 5 seconds so what do i know

obviously it's great if you're a millennial like me that loves dumb humour but gen z get so defensive over liking a series with humour made for people who grew up with the internet in the 2010s so they shit over other lines and arbitrarily declare them cringe when. you're barking up the wrong tree

hot take tadc fans aren't ready to hear

"i'm right behind you, aren't i?" is one of the most cringe lines in the whole series

goddamn it's in my brain again

gentlemen, it's been an honor

is it cool to make animatics anymore i have an idea

sometimes i feel like pomni and jax were created for the express purpose of doing a duet of anything you can do i can do better

it's not even me getting old. 5 years ago i could joke about truck nuts outside of nsfw chats and now i'm genuinely worried using the slutty slutty years meme will get me yelled at by a mod

hate is rewarded. hate is protected by the powers that be. any genuine attempt to stamp out that hatred or defend the marginalised is seen as problematic. i can't fucking do this anymore

YouTube pop up reading "Help us keep comments respectful". Underneath is a comment which can be seen on the next slide.

YouTube comment reading: "trying to appeal to bullies is a sisyphean effort they'lI always find something else because they don't care about you or your situations or your efforts. they're already biased against you. you will never be the perfect person who repels all bullies because they already hate you for one thing, whether it be weight or gender or disability or race. if you're in this position, don't appeal to them. they aren't concerned about you. they hate you. and as much as i wish i had advice for trolls like this, they won't listen."

YouTube comment continuing: "but if you're in this position, it's not your fault. it never was. you just have to see concern trolling for what it is. not concern, but trolling. live your life. be happy. because that pisses them the fuck off. i know full well that the fawn response is a bitch. my advice, fight. enjoy your life."

youtube will leave rampant hate speech in their comments but get on my ass for this

that's what's funny about australia, we give a crude blue collar front when it's a nanny state run by landlords

WHY HAVE WE ALL GOTTEN SO FUCKING SCARED OF PROFANITY DICKS CUNTS VIOLENCE FUCK YOU

i'm sorry i refuse to buy that 14 year old me could joke about sex and murder in chats but now i'm 32 and people get iffy about me having an icon of an anime girl flipping people off. how.

how is it that discord chats full of adults are more touchy and sensitive about language than forums i was in on as a teenager

also surinam toads. i blame fern for mentioning them while talking about their own trypophobia (jk i love them 💜)

i don't know if i have trypophobia or not i just know looking at okra makes me sick to my stomach

is the youtube app completely unusable for anyone else

the thing about theory culture is at that point you're not even watching to see the story unfold. you're just letting it go by while you're waiting for your theories to be confirmed. at that point, the story is immaterial and you might as well be watching anything else.

Theories and "expectations" have had a nasty impact on culture.

They just set people up to get mad when the story the artist tells doesn't line up with whatever people imagined based off "patterns" that don't really mean anything.

Wait for the end, enjoy the ride, and let a story be what it is.

script doctor culture is such a good name for this type of behaviour, i've seen it for years when media criticism stopped being "this is the media and these are the issues i had with it" and started being "this is what the media SHOULD have done"

"Drop on the deck and flop like a fish, motherfucker."

if this was me i would disown it and delete it from everywhere

at this point we don't even deserve the last two tadc episodes

Matt Braly also got hate mail for pointing out flaws about the calamity trio and let's not forget about the recent KoG "controversy" of Dana Terrace getting accused of being transphobic or pandering to transphobes/conservatives just for confirming that Frankie wasn't trans.

Really shows how-

We are in the rare and unique position where indie animation can be unique creative visions unfettered by corporate interference or IP shit

Why would you, as the fan, demand that the vision of the creator, who you claim to love, bend to your demands

Kill your inner exec

just fucking lay off it. and i sincerely hope goose gets a restraining order on all you dickheads

speaking of which it is not a coincidence that it's women who have been hit hardest with these sorts of attacks. neil gaiman can have dick riders when he's actually got a criminal record. outside of jkr (whose wealth and whiteness protects her) men barely get the shit women get.

this age of "running to the creator to confirm canon" has paid disasterous dividends. now we've got full on fucking crusades that still go on. i STILL see people shitting on dana for being transmisogynistic when your average jkr fan has done far worse

i maintain we should not have this much proximity to creators. we should not even be able to touch them. dana terrace should have never be dogpiled for one (1) maybe misguided comment based on a show that was NOT EVEN GREENLIT at that stage. nor should gooseworx. TADC ISN'T EVEN FINISHED GUYS
