Spicy Chicken Cows

the way the internet has eroded the barrier between creator and fanbase sucks beyond words and while most discussion of this puts the focus on the parasociality aspect i do think its equally if not more important to point out that most if not all creators would benefit greatly from logging the fuck off

if people read your work in a way you don't want them to or god forbid critique aspects of it that is not something you can stop nor should you try to sometimes people will discuss your work in a way that isn't 100% validating at all times and if you do not want that to happen you don't have to put it out into the world at all

and ☝️ another thing. i do think that being terminally online not only makes creators less able to accept critique but also primes them not to think enough about what they need to include to get their point across. you cannot write with the assumption that you can just explain things later online in posts you have to write as though your work is going to stand completely on its own. if something is important enough to be necessary information for your audience to get your point you have to think long and hard about how you're going to go about conveying that to them. and it can't be in posts.

white people will literally be like if u arent nice to me Im going to become a nazi. and think they’re making a great argument

this stupid shit has been around for so long and it’s crazy to me there are still people with enough rocks in their brain to believe it. “Oughhhhh if you aren’t nice to you oppressors they’ll become bigots instead of allies” if someone’s support for marginalized groups hinges entirely on whether or not that group is niceys, they’re by definition not effective or useful allies and, by admission of this argument, an active danger to the communities theyre supposed to be allied with because they can Enter Bigot Mode the second they become displease

This type of ideas were common in early 20th Century futurism and somehow they didn’t see any issues with balancing a network of runways on top of a group of skyscrapers

in modern day it's very easy to look at batman and be like "WHAT was this guy doing. Insane choice. You do NOT have to fight crime this way" but then you learn literally anything about the US in 1900-1939 and you're like "oh a batman terrifying people would have actually for real improved the situation"

Both options convey that he's horny

How dare you be funnier than me on my own post

I sincerely hope that the OP realizes that gramma was very likely quoting that cartoon.
