I feel like Twitter has a very “All or Nothing” Mindset when it comes to a Piece of Media’s Flaws. Either it’s Perfect with No Flaws if the flaws don’t bother them or it’s Garbage with no Positive Attributes. On here there is apparently no in-between or nuance.

the elephant in the room in the 'why can't western nerdy media be like japanese nerdy media' is that Comics Code, Hays Code, and the 1950s Red Scare/HUAC brought irreversible damage to American media in general, down to the gene and blood
Seth Jacob@SethJacobOct 25
hot take: if the comics code hadn’t been created, superheroes wouldn’t have dominated the industry. the rules of the code made superheroes uniquely fit to survive. rules like “In every instance good shall triumph over evil and the criminal punished for his misdeeds”

Japan isn't above criticism, but do Americans that characterise avarage Japanese person as a pedo forget that they live in the "we elected a pedophile" country?

when your ship is doomed but you remember they're fictional so you can make up scenarios where they live happily ever after

I love how basically every study shows that students do better with less homework and workers perform better with more vacation days and shorter shifts, yet we do the exact opposite because of outdated, guilt-driven “work is suffering” values and toxic hustle culture.

Also want to point out how funny it is that people are complaining about "androgynous designs" in Castlevania of all series

Being a zoomer is having only grown up with deconstructing stories having never known the original story
Jovan@JovanGThinksOct 17
Growing up as a Zoomer is surreal because you see writers mocking the "Knight saves princess from dragon" trope but the only popular non-Sleeping Beauty story that plays it straight is the legend of St. George. Not even Beowulf or most Arthurian stories fit that criteria.

I hate the notion that you have to “acknowledge” the flaws of something you like or else your a “glazer” or “think it’s perfect” or “toxically positive” or whatever. Like, yeah, the thing I like has flaws but is it wrong that I just don’t gaf or want to talk about the good parts?

idk if something switched in my brain or im just getting older, but people being negative about shit all the time is so exhausting. like making fun of relatively harmless stuff and tearing it apart makes you exhausting to be around

This is why I don't think movies like Evil Dead II would have been praised today despite how many people want more campy stuff because modern media criticism has revolved around people acting like 4chan smartasses, so they would call it "millennial slop" or whatever.

I keep seeing people saying that it's bad because it's a "quirk chungus reddit movie" and I'm like. What does that even mean. You're just parroting somebody's else word salad posing as 'critique'. You're literally saying nothing.

Genuinely don’t understand people’s frustration with Glitch’s products. They have to fund their shit somehow and they’re literally just doing the same model as actual tv. They need to pay their animators somehow. They can’t live off of dreams we all live in the real world

In film studies, our prof once went on a rant abt how we have to "de-americanize" our view of art. iirc "Americans are obsessed with plot. Form, function, feeling, they ignore it all to ask if the plot is believable or logical. All they care about is outsmarting the artist."

The inability of the left to distinguish between an imperfect ally and an enemy is the height of privilege and will be our downfall

A thing I’ve noticed in the deltarune community that I haven’t really seen in other communities I’ve been in is that people don’t really know when to be quiet. YOU DONT *ALL* HAVE TO GIVE YOUR INPUT. THATS THE REASON THESE “CONTROVERSIES” LAST SO LONG. 😭
