let's all have a fun time looking up new words when we encounter them to see what they mean before incorporating them into our vocabularies

I'm surprised the knight kink crowd hasn't picked up on the fact that historical knights had a habit of capturing each other for ransom. What do you mean you don't see the sexual tension in rivals seeking each other out in battle or through ambush, deliberately avoiding harming their target so they may be taken back to the attacker's castle, either held as a prisoner or as a honored "guest" as the case may be, until they are redeemed by their friends and allies?

It really helps to not be picky about what art you engage with actually. Gotta mix up your diet a bit from time to time

If you find you're bored of the folk punk you always listen to, try out a rap album. If you only ever watch classic cinema or more grounded art films, check out a fast and furious movie or something. Or try reading a book if you only ever consume film or tv. Or comics. Or go to an art museum. You may not like whatever it is you try out, and I promise you don't have to like it, but I can guarantee that you can't subsist on a monoculture. Be open to experiencing new art. Even if it's bad. Especially if it's bad, actually.

i feel like the kneejerk reaction everyone had to undertale, of being scared of any degree of permanence to their actions in a video game, is like. some kind of sociological tell, but i couldn't tell you exactly what it means.

the idea that a video game could materially hold you accountable for the choices you make in it, and how that might feel like a breaking of the unsaid contract between developer and player, wherein the developer is only ever expected and furthermore obligated to provide you with an uncomplicated experience where your choices have no true bearing on yourself; the sort of weird guilt that emerged post-undertale where everyone got the wrong takeaways from what the game was saying about the conventions of RPGs as a genre, and how it highlights the ways that fictional worlds are brutally colonized and harvested for their meaning, even in ways it hadn't meant to that just emerged organically from player response; the demonization of the protagonist of the game for the sole crime of holding you morally accountable for the path you chose to lead it down, that it would dare ever express any true agency rather than let itself be overwritten by your will, as though that is ever how video games as stories have worked. it pushed against player expectation in a lot more ways than people gave it credit for and i think the world wasn't ready for it in 2015, and they're still not in 2026.

the fact that you can just go delete a file and make the game forget everything you did in it just highlights the point further. it can't hold you accountable, not really, but the fact that you would have that response at all proves that the art had a strong impact on you, no matter how much you would try to refuse that to yourself.
