My revelation from earlier: i think dream smp is like. The opposite of slop. I think everyone's definition of slop is different but to me its media that doesn't stimulate any cognitive parts of the brain and is entertaining in the same way as a baby sensory video. Just shapes and colours and buzzwords. And that makes me infuriated that ive heard the dream smp called slop because the dream smp is the most gutwrenchingly beautiful story with the worst viewing experience known to man. Its a multiple-hundred-hour Minecraft roleplay thats functionally impossible to watch. The acting is amateur. The storytelling is clunky. The medium is unconventional and difficult to make immersing. The canon is inconsistent. The lines determining what IS canon are blurry at best. The writers and actors and designers and artists are a bunch of improv-ers who barely cooperate with each other. The plot is so good it will ruin your life. Its bad in every way except the way that matters, and the worst thing about it is that its good. That's why everyone who loves the dream smp talks about it like its the worst thing thats ever happened to them. Its the opposite of shapes and colours and no substance. Its all substance.
