let's go back to posting about bdubs's hairy thighs. wait hold on i read that sentence back and my 2 day migraine wore off a bit

i feel the story of etho's base fits well into the cyberpunk genre - an oppressive capitalist regime that is trying to erase those it deems undesirable (by constructing public spaces in an inaccessible way) - but he has some weird ideas about Health and Society in a way that makes him incapable of executing it in a sensitive manner. so instead we get "People Had Time For Fun and Leisure And That's Bad" and "Fat People Get Sent to Infinite Parkour Prison until they're Cured"

i've seen a couple of posts around it but i do think it's worth saying outright that it's a bit sad and disappointing that the lore of etho's base is inspired specifically by wall-e's portrayal of mobility chair users, something that's deeply mean-spirited and mocking towards fat and disabled people. i guess you just would've hoped that etho---especially as someone who's friends with scar who is himself a wheelchair user---would put some thought into why it's not great to associate lack of movement with laziness

it gets to a point that is just weirder if they didn't fuck

you did all this and it was not even because you wanted to bang him? weirdo

the clip of etho being like oh OR he's hanging out with ME late at night is crazy-crazy bc i think abt the older stream clip where he's surprised other people think bdubs will log on if etho asks, even if it's late at night for him. he realized his evil powers which he demonstrably did not seem to know three years ago.
