yea even without that poo poo mr enter is a complete shallow wad who can't actually review storytelling or anything. Like, watch two videos and it becomes clear he thinks characters doing bad things mean they're the bad guy even if A) it's a loving joke show or B) it's a not joke show and the bad thing is setup for them to learn a lesson and all, and he seems to genuinely get confused by people interacting in ways deeper than 'hello batman I am the villain' 'hello villain I am the batman I'm going to punch your dick now' 'oh no not my dick, that's the place I least want to get punched'.

I also liked that someone on the animation team found that thread and thanked her for both appreciating the details they got right and explaining what they didn't, very nice to see artists who can handle cultural critique without getting defensive or dismissive.

I mean the real root of it is most gays and women in the media/cultural class were upper class and childless so yes they could sleep in and get brunch at 11 at some trendy place and naturally when those types go somewhere it becomes a cool place to be and poo poo, so like always Cinema Roberto has looked at a thing and instantly disregarded class identity for cultural identity because he's a complete boob.

Also if we're posting people like loving Contra still Moviebob, who is an internet content creator, is still fair game.

I mean, the biggest issue people seem to have is the idea that merely the act of 'yearning' in any form is the sin. Like, am I Part of the Problem because I think it'd be genuinely funny and probably a good way to make a lot of the suburban nazis back off if someone [redacted] some proud boy bus before they could get out and try to murder people themselves? Like, it's the mere act of thinking 'it'd own if for once in these miserable people's lives they felt half the mortal fear for their lives and safety most any given random minority does around them' is exactly the same morally as Chadsworth Gunterson taking dad's gun out to go 'hunt antifa' or whatever?

It's the kind of take you can only have if you've never looked at someone and thought 'are they gonna try to attack me or are they just gonna call me (insert slur here) if they want to get rowdy' and having a bunch of other white media people all "YEP FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT" just made it more funny.

Well, that's pulling the scope away from the overly-broad and nonspecific "yearning for a violent revolution" to "yearning for someone to attack a bus full of neo-nazis." Which is both a narrower and clearer objective there, and sounds like a separate conversation to have. Like yeah, you'll get some people who gasp at the audacity of left-wing violence in either case, but debating on the ethics of morning for a bus full of human sludge has way clearer "sides" to it (and lol gently caress them.)

I mean to be honest I was using the more extreme version of 'revolution' where it's literal 'partisan forces clashing in the street' and not the more usual 'occupation of state institutions or whatever, with the willingness to do so armed and ready to fight back against agents of the state who attempt to do them harm' that would be 'violent revolution', if Dan's cool with airholeing a neo-nazi bus but thinks Bundy Ranch: But Leftist would be a bridge too far to even dream of that's a way wilder stance.

I dunno, I'm happy to laugh at crying chuds and all but I genuinely do think it's bad to be all 'I'm so glad to have empathy back in the white house' because that's literally how we all stopped paying attention to poo poo like Obama building concentration camps and droning the poo poo out of the Islamic world and it's really a major fear for, ya know, people without PBS shows, that that's gonna happen with most of our allies.

It would have been nice to just have a straight day off to enjoy it though, I agree.


also this, it's a pretty loving hard trick to kick back when the fascists Joe Biden made alliances with like loving Kasich and Powell instantly went all 'hey I know the only major losses were from lovely centrists who avoided M4A and poo poo, and in fact the progressive caucus grew during this pathetic excuse for a 'victory' you sold your soul for, but Joe's gonna put those stupid progressive commies in their place!'

Looking forward to "In Defense of Fallout Equestria" I guess.

tbh there's probably an interesting topic in the transformative nature of fandoms where people take two things they like with no real connection and try to make them work together. You can contrast it with Funko style consumerist bullshit of "HEY LOOK IT'S A T-SHIRT WITH RICK COMING OUT OF THE TARDIS GIVE US THIRTY DOLLARS" and actual fan projects and art it makes and all, the difference between the lazy grimdark 'what if ponies said gently caress and shot each other with mouth guns' and actual attempts to blend the tones and all...could be a neat springboard.

yea 'boob armor' means literally armor meant to accent and impractically show off tits often making it way worse than normal armor, not armor that...fits over tits without mashing them down...It's perfectly fine armor that looks like it's meant to fit a body type securely and comfortably like, you know, a warrior culture would have.

It's a stupid take but as usual with Anita anyone who's reaction to her bad take is deeper than 'well, that's silly to say' is probably a way bigger freak.

yea I'm fine with things as long as it's the Monster Hunter/Final Fantasy style, let EVERYONE look like Paladins that part time at the local strip club and don't like to change between jobs, drat it. Men want to look like sluts too :argh:

But yea for real of all the problems Mandalorian has behind the scenes (one character's an insane anti-mask/corona truther who just tried to get people to follow her to one of the straight up nazi alternatives to twitter, and the character they teased showing up soon is likely going to be played by Rosario Dawson who's literally a violent transphobe), trying to drag whoever made the armor for mandos having slight room for breasts is waaay bottom of the list.

My only real criticism of Anita is that she sometimes comes off as overly sex negative in her critiques. Not about to make a 45 minute video with a thumbnail of me comically gasping about it though.


Which character is that?

don't wanna spoil but

Ahsoka from Clone Wars

I don't think it ever got literally confirmed because it's loving Disney and they treat this stuff like it's state secrets but I think it was one of those accidental confirmations that came during the start of season 2's production.

yea it's not like it was ever some deep 'leftist' critique like 'Clinton's welfare reform policy hurts the poor and working class while shifting the money to wealthy technocrats...waka waka!!!!!' but 'lol clinton like burger' or 'al gore boring' was, like, a common joke.

It never really 'got political' but it sounds like this version doesn't either. It just references people in popular culture? Like 'lol trump look like big dumb ogre' isn't political satire it's just...a joke about what a big turd trump looks like.

I meant as in having any real 'commentary', but rather just referencing political issues/figures as a thing that exists. Like, saying 'we've lost our way' is a line from a republican flier isn't actually saying anything, it's just pointing out that that's a thing republicans say a lot. Which is fine, that's a good joke, there's no real need for them to go deeper than a base level 'ha, these guys exist, get it?' joke.

It's the same in the new version. Like, they have the Warners go on a faux Tucker Carlson show but it's just a framing device for them to make fun of the general talking head trend of reframing any question into their own talking points and end with classic cartoon slapstick. Tucker isn't really the joke there, and christ knows they're not making any actual commentary on him as a fascist white supremacist, but he's just a well known person to use and he's a dweeby little bowtie wearing bitch so he's fun to put next to the Warners. The only people offended by that and claiming it's 'political' are the right wing idiots angry they even dared to make a joke involving their favorite nighttime white supremacist.
