Bloopers are movie aftercare and it’s fucked up that we got rid of them
I will say, while I agree that stagnant tastes are a problem and people need to expand their aesthetic horizons...
...You ever notice how it's only certain kinds of tastes that get slammed for being harbingers of aesthetic stagnation?
That don't get given the benefit of the doubt that those into them like other things too? That get directly linked to inherently to their fans' bad behavior rather than other things that might lead to shitty behavior?
I wonder why that is...
The thing that got me thinking about this is someone bringing up a Bluesky skeet about "For the love of god can indie RPG designers play a game that isn't Earthbound or a Mario RPG"
Which, again, expanding one's horizons is good. A comedic JRPG I just beat today, Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands (Which I urge you to check out, a good game to play between Chapter 5 and Chapter 6) has a really unique take on Final Fantasy's Active Time Battle system as a core mechanic.
But it's interesting how the subgenre going in the crosshairs is the one that, from my observation; tends to get a lot of shit for being "childish," that tends to have an aesthetic and tone that isn't quite as "respectable"
I'm reminded of how JRPGs as a whole got shat on repeatedly in the aughts for what we realize now was largely thinly-veiled misogyny; homophobia and general douchebaggery.
another incident that comes to mind is a blogger using the whole Tumblr "gotcha," or at least one part in particular:
Like, I will say up front they have a point and that might give some people more things to think about, even if I feel like the actual material result of this genre of online critique is mostly "Give people with scrupulosity issues a new thing to be miserable about" (but that's its own topic), but I wanted to note an unspoken assumption of their own.
Like, what weight does the phrase "Disney adult" carry here? One might think that it's for a very specific "consume product" sort of mindless viewer, but A) That term's gotten a dickton of semantic drift, and that follows into B) Why do we casually use that specific aesthetic for that sort of Problem Person as opposed to, say, sports fans or gun people?
Why does their aesthetic taste matter to how bad their take is? If their area of expertise was; say; opera or literary fiction, would it be any less bad? Plenty of people in "highbrow" fields in the Global North have been shown to have similar assumptions, even if their bad takes have more flowery wording.
What makes the aesthetics of animation deemed "childish" the best target for the crosshairs of media literacy sins in people's eyes?
assuming someones health based on their age in a world where babies can be born with disabilities and illnesses, and elderly who can run marathons and live past 100 makes zero sense.
health will never automatically be a certain level based on age.
I can’t overshare because that would be very humiliating but everyone else should overshare because I like to know everything

Insane how supernatural is 15 seasons long and everything is under explored. What were they doing for 15 years?
Lots of correct opinions in the notes.
Don’t leave these in the tags!
#killing all the women#failed backdoor pilots#replaying the same sibling drama over and over again like eagles eating prometheus’s liver#supernatural#what a show
it is of course easier to performatively ban children from social media than to do things like "actually challenge and regulate the abusive tactics tech companies use to extract people's data and money via social media" but if we did the second thing we wouldn't have any excuse to force people to use digital ID :(
And easier to do than actually regulate the child abuse happening on social media
need this to go with my "expensive and difficult" trucker hat

real talk tho ive seen ppl talk abt how long hair on men isn't intrinsically feminine & assuming so is racist can we get the same convo going for Black women w short hair can we start talking abt how short hair isn't intrinsically masculine or is that a step too far
One of the machines broke down at the hyperbole factory. The situation is frustrating, but ultimately manageable.
It just started working again! This is the best day ever!
i think people are starting to confuse class analysis with bioessentialism. like... no not all men do this, but Men as a constructed social class do do this. that's still okay to say. that is regular material analysis of the world around us.
this is true, but it is not bioessentialist. both cis & trans men WILL see a mouse & eat it. this is because it is in their best interest to eat mice. they benefit from eating mice. this is essential to their class position, not their biological makeup.

functionally suicidal character saying “I would die for you” to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me he’d sell hot dogs for me, I wouldn’t feel very moved now would I
Now a functionally suicidal character saying “I will live for you”. Now that’s a dynamic I can sink my teeth into.
now how about a functionally suicidal character saying "I will sell hot dogs for you"
Hotdog vender lays down their life to protect their suicidal partner, who then takes over the hotdog stand to carry on their memory...
