I just can't

A million dollar contract deal is massively different than utilizing a common platform the general public is forced to use out of necessity. This deal was NOT a necessity. They wanted to make more Critical Role animated content, and instead of being proud of what we created as a community, they shook the hand of a tax-evading devil to make more of what they want. They prioritized more Critical Role content over morals.

I KNOW the world isn’t black and white. I know they aren’t suddenly evil people, and I don’t suddenly hate them! I’m not canceling them, I’m not trying to create some kind of shitty war against them. I’ve seen that shit before it gets ugly fast. However, I just can’t believe just how celebrated this choice is. I can’t believe how accepting everyone is of this as if this was inevitable.

I don’t feel happy. I feel defeated. This feels like a defeat. Proof that we will NEVER be able to overcome the corporate greed that comes from corrupt abuse of capitalism, because if a fandom who donated over 11 MILLION DOLLARS wasn’t enough for them, then nothing will ever be enough. This is a cycle that will continue in the country until Amazon/Disney/Google rules the fucking world.

Money makes you greedy, it makes you want more. Whether that’s more money, more content, or more people to see your content and give you money. It all just feeds into this disgusting system, and I thought this Kickstarter could fight that system. I thought it was a pure sign of people as individuals coming together to make something good of themselves.

Well

It happened

LITTLE JOSH WON!!!!

“studio ghibli romances be like “what if we didn’t kiss, but instead both spiritually matured as people because we met each other.”

but i was naïve. it's apparently about every positive experience. enjoying a meal? you're so lucky, children are starving. spending your day off cosy in bed? wow, so selfish, homeless people are freezing to death.

Saw these on Pinterest today and I’d never noticed it before, the way he changes his breathing to look so panicked.
