⚠️this is actual TMP ep 16 spoilers ⚠️
IF YOU HAVE NOT LISTENED, TURN BACK NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
I didn't get a lot from this one I don't think, I like Ink5oul's voice, I dislike madam E's voice, and oh our poor poor alice, send post
I cannot BELIEVE this episode managed to Hello Jon. Apologies for the deception but I wanted to-
I will add a third perspective of it sounded fine to me? I didn’t notice any overuse of slang or weird words. I didn’t have trouble understanding anything. I didn’t find Madam E annoying. I’m surprised by the response because I really didn’t notice anything odd at all. I guess that means it sounded like natural speech to me.
That's fair! There were a lot of parts of the case that, taken in isolation, i had no problem with (on the level of vocab, at least). I also didn't have any trouble understanding her, and I think the voice actor did a great job with the lines given.
Now i am curious though, what kind of youtubers/tiktokers/influencers do you watch? Maybe then i can finally find an example of a Madam E-speaker in the wild

laughing at the fact that the two interpretations of this case ('even 'fake' tiktok influencers talk more naturally than this' and 'no there are people who talk like this and ive seen them i swear') are both accusing the other of not being online enough to know the difference
should also say that i genuinely dont mind if you disagree... we're discussing minutiae of exactly how much internet speak is too much internet speak. it's not that big a deal. i just find it fun to chew on, for how this tiny aspect of online culture interacts with underlying discussions about things like intergenerational conflict, cultural appropriation and misogyny
I definitely think people are reading way more depth into this episode than it deserves. I absolutely agree that it felt very much like he was setting up a straw man to make fun of when no one actually talks like that. It wasn't a deep critique on social media or cultural appropriation. It was just irritating.
imo it's not necessarily unlikely that they meant the over-the-top slang to function as a kind of commentary on appropriation, or even more likely, 'online authenticity'. i just think it failed because it didn't seem to genuinely understand or be interested in investigating those things beyond noting that they exist
Honestly the biggest issue in all this feels like laziness. Like. You use this butchering of AAVE to sound like a try hard... but then do nothing to show the other aspects of influencers. Where's the questionable sponsorships, where's the over familiarity, where's the exploitation, where's the "you can look like me" aspect. Note: this is not to say all influencers are like this but idk if IM a writer for a horror podcast, I'd touch on these things. Especially in regards to the topic seemingly being about an influencer's relationship with their followers. As it stands, Madam E is simultaneously very annoying to listen to but also weirdly just a nothing character. She doesn't feel real. Yes influencers have a face that put on camera but anyone who knows anything about influencer landscape should realize that at least even the veneer of authenticity is the key to a good following. Idk. The concept just feels incredibly underdeveloped and it's disappointing to see.
