I know people are like “ooh look at me I never get mad at cartoons, how embarrassing to be mad at cartoons” but I’m mad at that cartoon for making the dog a black woman, I don’t like that at all.

yeah this justification does not make it better at all

And now it makes sense why it's Norville and not Shaggy. Norville is Shaggy's deadname.

this is what happens when you get high on wokeness. sure it starts small and fun, like a woman jedi. next thing you know all the ghostbusters are women too. pretty soon you're turning scooby-doo into a black woman without batting an eye and you don't recognize yourself in the bathroom mirror!

Before Rick & Morty came out it was getting really heavily advertised and all the ads gave me the impression that the premise of the show was that “edgy” joke that Doc Brown in Back to the Future was a pedophile and I thought who would green light this show, this is gonna get cancelled half way through season 1, vibes are so off on this show. And just recently I thought maybe I should give Rick & Morty a try because maybe I misjudged it based on bad marketing and a bad fanbase because how could it still be running and successful if it was as creepy as it seemed, lol.

ain’t the scale of roiland and I haven’t listened to it myself but apparently there’s an episode commentary where one of ‘em expresses a desire to gently caress triana


I played like two hours of last of us before getting bored and don’t intend to see the show but does the show get rid of the zombies being a fungal cordyceps infection or something?

no, just the spores. the show opens with a scientist in the 60s talking about pandemics and how fungi could infect humans if they were pressured to evolve into withstanding higher temperatures, say in the event that the planet got a little warmer. but the infection comes out of nowhere despite us getting more build up this time, and the showrunners have said there will be no spores. the zombies also don't eat people anymore, they just vomit up some tendrils from their mouth and shove that into the other person's skin

uhhh... just why? I felt like the spores added a whole element of like, you can't just hide behind walls or a bunker and try to ride things out. if you've got access to fresh air, then you've got a vector for infection

the opening has this undertone of smug self-assuredness when the scientist guy is like "humans have always won the war against viruses and bacteria. don't worry about them. but fungi, those will gently caress us right up" that felt like it was vaguely posturing that covid is over, here's something that is actually bad to worry about instead!

but maybe that's just me
