Dapper_Swindler posted:i think alot of issues lily has is because she only consumes kids media and theirfore has the black and white morality of kids media(not all but yall know what i mean) its fine to watch kids/family stuff, alot of its very good, but its also very good to vary up your taste. i think their is also a subgroup of critics and media types who have the same issue. There's another side to the "age-appropriate" coin in that if you're an adult you've gotta watch stuff made for adults sometimes. Yeah, it's fine if you like reading YA but please, for the love of God, read a novel written for adults sometimes, otherwise you get those weirdos complaining that such-and-such YA romance wasn't "spicy" enough and I just  Same with TV shows. The 2010's put out some pretty amazing cartoons, so I can understand having a lot of kids stuff that you turn to, but please cut that with stuff for actual adults sometimes, even if it's just more Office re-runs.

I recently finished the last unicorn because I kept hearing it’s amazing and it honestly. It’s melancholy as gently caress, but it’s so drat beautifully written. I also realized a lot of people like these folks will never read it because it doesn’t fit their weird views. The book doesn’t give a gently caress about world building or some great evil or weird problematic poo poo that they can beat their chests against. The books messages are all about rememberence and growth and exploring memento mori in weird different ways. The villians in the book are more weird toxic versions of wanting to be remembered and outlooks on life and how people can be trapped by expectations. It also doesn’t spoon feed you its meanings like alot of stuff. The movie does but that’s fine and expected. Idk why I posted this. Just read the drat book. If I were more talented, I’d probably make a book barn let’s read thread. My point is a lot of these folks will sadly never discover it because IT’s outside their frame of reference and normally it would be for me too. I mostly read brand scifi, weird old classics and history/true crime. I only read about it because of artists friends who introduced to a lot of stuff I like outside my comfort zone. To bring it back to HB, it was the same with this show.

YA stuff is apparently a tire fire from every angle these days, it's all the worst fans in the world becoming the worst creators in the world and all the promoters are trying to knife their competition through concern trolling. Figures what happens when the people most invested in it are if anything the most obsessed with looking 'grown-up', but still think actual 'grown-up' literature is dry and boring while everything else is embarrassingly juvenile. I suppose it gets tricky because the actual problem is a lot of adult media feels alien and hard to relate to when it shows a world where everyone owns houses and lives on their own and their biggest problems are being bored at their office jobs.

I mean I sorta have the opinion that schools in general do a poo poo job at teaching literature and honestly media in general. I’ll sound like a chud but instead of reading the book or watching the media and then teaching you HOW to talk about what you think about it and the language to explain your opinions coherently, instead you just hunt and peck for symbols and themes and etc or dissect the problematic content of the piece to death. Obviously none of this is bad on its own but i think alot of people never really learn how to come up with ideas or analogies or critiques themeselzes. They just fill just circle on the test. I hated lit courses in college because they were always like that. I can see why folks just stick to YA bullshit because the shits all laid out for them. It also doesn’t help that a lot of YA fandoms are just loving hell mouths full of weird purity struggle session poo poo that’s not even over politics. It’s weird. What’s funny is the loving bronies of all people are probably the chillest of them and I honestly take back alot of mean poo poo i have said about them over the years. Like yeah there is some hosed up gross poo poo, but they arnt telling some artist to kill herself over skin tone shading in fan art or having weird public hell fights about shipping.

It’s less potter and more all YA are chasing potter or trying to be the next potter or the next big franchise. Again one of my favorite fantasy books is just a one off with a coda that got written 40 years later, which the original didn’t need but it just wrapped up a little plot beat. Everyone wants to be a franchise with a billion possible spinoffs points and that will let parasites like Matt pat suck it dry. People are afraid to let something have an ending.

Another little thing about the circus fire I just got from a random youtube short. We know now that white patches on imps are scars, given that's where Blitz got burned and now has a white spot. This is young Fizzarolli at his birthday party:  This is him now:  All white face, meaning his entire face is scar tissue. Except for a tiny red spot on his nose. That's because he was wearing a fake clown nose when he was burned, so it was protected. Megillah Gorilla fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Sep 25, 2023 |

Righteousness is a hell of a drug. Pratchett had a quote something along the lines of "No greater evil than righteousness" and it didn't really click with me when I first read it. But, boy howdy, do I understand it now. Ghost Leviathan posted:Maybe there's something to how the attitude with Harry Potter being 'Well at least the kids are reading books!' wasn't the healthiest response after all. I mean it started off with "liberal unaware of her own biases" putting questionable content in otherwise engaging childrens' books. Sure, it ended up with a mask-off TERF eating newborn babies, but for a little while there the series wasn't something you needed to be absolutely ashamed of reading.

Megillah Gorilla posted:Righteousness is a hell of a drug. I think alot of potters issues are more then just the political/progressive issues and more that the world rowling built couldnt support the change of writing style so the world building starts to either look way way more hosed up or it just breaks. the books start out as a very whimsical roald dahl type story but with more world building. then they switch to grimer YA darker fantasy and the dahl type world building doesnt survive the transition well. it didnt help that rowling tried to twitter explain poo poo post books and retcon poo poo in the dumbest ways possible.

Oh totes. The more she wrote about her world, the less sense it made and the worse it looked. From what I heard about one of the prequel movies, the big bad evil wizard just wanted to stop the holocaust or some poo poo but had to be stopped because the wizards didn't want the untermensch to know they existed.

Not even touching the fact she tried to make Dobby look like a weirdo for not wanting to be enslaved and that the real lesson was to treat your slaves WELL. It was Hagrid impressing this on Hermione btw. Megillah Gorilla posted:Another little thing about the circus fire I just got from a random youtube short.

Not to mention in a hosed up way he's been permanently trapped in the role of a clown for the rest of his life because now his face always resembles one. I know being a clown is what he's always known and is very good at it. But I wonder if he resents never having the option to be anything otherwise.

GODAMMIT YA BEAT ME TO IT! But yeah Mammon is an evil christmas tree with an Australian accent. That tracks. Genuinely wondering what kind music style he performs because initially I was leaning towards something like Heavy metal or Classic rock, but his appearance makes me question that. edit: Went to look for fanart on Tumblr and there's already rage posting about this.

Dapper_Swindler posted:god id love if it was zach instead just doing really awful british accent/annoying noises. Oh just the usual loving everything: it's problematic that he's fat because he's the sin of greed/ he's probably not fat he's just wearing a lot clothes and Viv hates fat people, he looks like Oogie Boogie what a total ripoff of character design, the animation is jank it's giving me a headache to look at it, the design is too busy everything Viv designs is sloppy to has too many details and on and on and loving on. Understand these are people who want to be pissed off and will get pissed off about the stupidest poo poo imaginable. It's really weird too because there's literal normal stuff to complain about but they just never do. They always latch onto the strangest most pointless BS aspects of the show. I could easily talk about how the execution of the slowburn is leaning a little more towards frustrating than fulfilling and discuss my personal preferences toward how I'd usually go about it. Instead I get these paragraph long rants about characters being problematic by design alone and how Vivzie is literally Hitler/Margaret Thatcher and is poisoning the world or some poo poo. It's less real criticism and more just flat out obsessive and disturbed.
