On YouTube? You can remove the video from your viewing history.

A man unshackled from pop-culture, on the other hand, says no. He says no to the plotless modern movies, the repetitive and atonal noise which passes for music, he says no to the Human Zoo, and all of the other garbage that comes along with modern society. The Independent-Minded will find himself saying yes less and less as time goes on and as the Occident swirls down the shitter. Yes is the word for masses and let them have it. They will say it to any ole’ arsenic dispensed to them and drink it up gladly. We who say no to the poison will be rightly judged as different and not quite one of the crowd.

Excellent. I like where this is going. Online distribution only or brick-and-mortar shops too? I think we should consider licensing for action figures and so on.

Vocaloid figurines with voice chips.Each has a random paragraph that they read. If you get the entire set you get one post read aloud by whoever the current most popular VA is. They're collectible, so only the truly dedicated will get an entire set. There are also levels of rarity with super-rares being gold and ultra-rares being crystal.

Vocaloid figurines with VA from popular animes. We want as many different groups as possible.

*edit* Reading more of that person's site, they use 'tow the line.' In a just world they'd be shot for that.

I mean they kind of do. They're not entirely synthesized. They're just sounds taken from VAs that you can string together. For example, this is Miku's original VA. Sometimes the original singers will even sing popular vocaloid songs.

GOLLOCKS!
The Wikipedia entry for Vocaloid is 14,000 words long and has 201 references.

The entry on Miku is nearly 7000 and has 95 references.

I have only one possible reaction to these facts.

STRAIGHT TROPIN'

The first type of tattle-tale, the Office Fascist is the easiest to spot. They are usually obese, female, and unnaturally perky when first met. Despite the bubbliness of their personality, this sort is usually incredibly self-hating. This loathing generally expresses itself in the need to dominate others in the work environment so as to make oneself feel more important. This despicable creature often writes up and enforces rules about the break room. The favorite place of attack is the workplace refrigerator where the obsession with food manifests itself. Lunches often go missing in the presence of The Office Fascist. Whether they are eaten or thrown-away is difficult to determine but one things is certain, this person is where the lion’s share of tattling emanates from.

Anyone remember Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge?

The enforcers of this new regime are the Office Fascist and the Beta Male.

This is so transparently autobiographical that it fills me with joy. I can almost imagine the ill-fitting polo-shirt and greasy ponytail as this turd angrily hammers out this post, stewing about how that fat bitch Debbie in the front office called human resources about his harmless joke comparing jews to a pizza.

My money's on The Office Fascist earning her title after cleaning out the office fridge once and binning one of his lunches by accident. She was trying to be helpful and thought that someone had just forgotten those two pizza slices in the salad drawer that were making the whole thing smell like marinara.

Just like the Khmer Rouge.

quote:

Who would ever want to be a villain?

The villain is constantly spat upon in the movies and television. He is always portrayed as being sinister or evil for simply doing things differently from the happy go-lucky masses. He may have a dissident or alternative way of viewing the world, of turning a buck, or of remedying the persistent societal problems. For most people, being different is synonymous with being evil.

Why not take on the mantle of being evil and live it fully without any apologies?

:suicide:

Annointed
Mar 2, 2013

The point of a villain is to be the antagonist. The antagonist is defeated by the hero as a reflection of the morals that society upholds/the ideals of the artists who crafted the work.This is how conflict works. Especially when the villains are either tyrants or straight up evil or take over the world or force everyone to conform to 1984, etc.

You motherfucking edgy moron. You cannot be this dense. You could not be this dense. You should not be able to understand the basics of how stories like this work. You have played games and other media, likely Kojima games that explored concepts like these to their fullest. You cannot somehow, after all those stories, miss the entire point, to the level of "DEATH OF AUTHOR" ferver.

Oh wait, they can, because if that was true, there wouldn't be a dork enlightment thread.
