if you keep a cool head and act collected/disaffected (eg gooseworx with the leaks), it means you're inauthentic and don't care about your show/fans

this post digging at billford shippers as Stupid Media Illiterate Abuse Fetishizers is even funnier now after the recent mslb podcast where alex hirsch himself flat out says "what kind of intimacy is that, to let someone into your brain?"

it's almost like the same action, from the same person, can be intimate in some circumstances and become a violation. the cruel betrayal of that trust and intimacy is the tragedy. instead of the straightforward "everything ford felt for bill was completely coerced and he never enjoyed any of it and never has any complicated feelings like many real abuse survivors do", it's much sadder imo if beyond the manipulation and violence, there was an inkling of true desire.

this does not cancel out the fact that his consent and bodily autonomy were violated! a consent that cannot be revoked is not consent. "but he liked some of it" is not a defense, that's the exact excuse bill gives.

y'all don't understand animation production timelines and it shows

woke: bill and ford's relationship is predicated on bill repeatedly violating ford's bodily autonomy and using his body as he pleases, not dissimilar to the logic of sexual abuse. even at its "best" bill pressures ford into drinking and making decisions he normally would not have been comfortable with. this makes the ship bad and evil

no patrick, "everyone deserves access to art" does not mean "everyone is entitled to hyperpersonalized autogenerated slop catered to their every whim because they don't want to try making it themselves or paying an artist for their skilled labor"
