BlankSystemDaemon posted:Yeah, that's definitely a good point. i think the thing about feet/hands or whatever is it's pretty vanilla and not like.. super disturbing or anything, so it's easier for people to be ironic or unironic about it in public, i guess. same with people typing "crush me" about tall women. they don't have to worry about being called a freak for typing that. there are way stranger fetishes that being open about in that same way would get you odd looks like former SA poster cabbagepots in games forum would try to do ironic/unironic posting about their gigantess fetish and it just caused people to dunk on them (to the point that i don't even remember anything else about that poster) e: being aroace i find this stuff interesting to talk about. thinkin' bout how people's minds work. but obv it's not really in line with the thread topic unless someone makes a video essay about it The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Mar 30, 2022 |

You are asking that of the thread for which the  emote was specifically created. As in I literally made it because I was loving sick of this insufferable thread and wanted to visually express it in the forums' lingua franca.

nine-gear crow posted:You are asking that of the thread for which the I feel like you might have a parasocial relationship with this thread. Anyway, I forgot thread ratings existed. Grondoth posted:Yeah in the era where you couldn't enter Disneyland as a dude with long hair, they'd literally kick you out, and they had barbershop quartets around the park as entertainers, they *also* made the anime band from Daft Punk's music videos and had them sing a song called Jailbait. Right, it's kind of amazing how high effort the whole project was for how quickly it seemed to collapse in on itself. Suppose it says something about the absolutely dire state of Disney at that time, where it was in a slowly declining holding pattern and everyone expected it to be looted by corporate raiders for component parts. Gaius Marius posted:Disney used to have nightclubs You know it's actually interesting because Halyx was a thing they did in the summer of 1981. The Pleasure Island night clubs were one of the many things Michael Eisner did to try to "adult up" the parks after he became CEO in 1984. I wonder what would've happened if there had been any overlap between those two things? A Star-Wars-by-way-of-KISS rock band show sounds exactly like something Eisner would've loved. We could've had like 4 DTV trash movies about the band going around in a jalopy rocket solving monster-based crimes or something.

Nuns with Guns posted:That's covered in the back half of Sophie's latest video: Man this was kind of a waste of time! Two hours on how some people I already knew were lovely dudes are lovely dudes, way too much time talking about Breadtube. It could have talked about the history of left-wing conspiracism but it was pretty uninterested in that. Hell, it wasn’t even interested in talking about the scope of left-wing conspiracism, which can be pretty bad in the UK! I appreciate it calling out the Greyzone but gently caress, the left should have known that the Greyzone was awful when it started peddling in denying that Assad used chemical weapons

I'm not gonna lie, Halyx seems like it loving ruled. I'm bummed it didn't take off. I could see it being a huge hit, with a giant wookie shaman rocking out on bass, a robot keyboardist... they even had a little guy who did the acrobatic performance stuff that audiences ate up in Cats. The band was genuinely novel back then, and still wild to think about today. A drat shame, all told. A real drat shame it wasn't even a fun underground cult phenomenon, just one summer in Disneyland.

Thing is, people on twitter were dogpilling her with the exact same takes she was calling out, there's a lot of very stupid leftists out there who need to be burned out of the movement.

Hbomb's stream was good and I'm happy that his guest and main donation drive target got the time to make his case, since apparently his region's feedback and news were obscured even from the rest of Ukraine.

Oh, I remember that! Must have been around the time I stopped following the thread. No real reason for it, just stopped having the time to keep up with it. Maybe I'll try again. Thanks.

Alaois posted:this thread gets rancid fairly often but its still nowhere near as bad as the F1 thread or any given thread in the Ray Parlour Like a thread on Formula One racing? Not the thread I'd guess but I'm also not surprised. I have stories from a friend's wife who was in online groups about various soap operas and boy howdy. I might even have said some unkind things way back on the MST3K usenet and that was the about defending the comedic qualities of the new host of a cow town puppet show. So.

And Disney is still utterly failing at it with their $5000 Star Wars hotel 95% of the time! I think the most damning thing I've heard about the whole experience was on "The Disney Dish" podcast. The host who went made up a charecter, Hank Lonely - producer of documentaries, threw himself completely into the experience and had a blast. And then said basically "since I make my recomendations for the 95% of people who don't drop more than $6000 on a trip, no it's not worth it. Take a trip across America, go to Europe, go to Asia, go to where your family is from. And then, maybe, go to the Star Wars hotel."

Disney was never going to be able to provide a 2.25ish day high-immersion LARP "worth" $5-6k, or even half that. If anything, the price represents that Disney wants to try to frontload as much income from that initial burst of invested SW fans before interest in it craters in coming years, then they can lower the rates and pitch it as a great deal on a prestige experience.

You just can't justify that price for most of your audience.
