Imagine Final Fantasy 6 if you replaced all the characters with forums posters from twenty years ago and replaced all the dialogue with catchphrases and slurs

its a lame hack but publicly apologizing for it feels mostly like patting yourself on the back, its not like awful fantasy is a popular or known piece of work. a random romhack being 'self-aggrandizing' isnt a crime and making something that has the fag word in it doesnt mean you dont deserve to be happy ever again it just means you were a moron at some point

Awful Fantasy has not actually caused any real world harm so just go 'yeah that was dumb' if asked about and move on, cause this apology is way more self--aggrandizing than making a bad romhack

I was actually just thinking about that like a week ago

"we're FINE, Todd. we're just cleaning :mad:"
:mmmhmm:

the idea that the person in the Kefka role doesn't know why the castle is on fire and offers to help, but the person in the Edgar role just finds him so loving annoying that he'd rather let his home burn than continue the conversation is genuinely really funny

i really dont know what there is to apologize for other than some slurs which were everywhere on this site at the time. so what if the premise of the hack is stupid, not everything has to be intelligent and serious. awful fantasy was fun-loving nonsense and there's nothing wrong with that. i dont even remember the slurs, i just remember how fun and silly it was that the first enemy you encounter was a puppy that killed itself instantly

Yeah the old front page articles are extremely cursed now. Except weekend web, but that was pretty much content from other forums that was horrible. Granted I haven't read that stuff in years so maybe I'm forgetting something lovely.

I sort of feel like a lot of the humor that kicked off in the late 90s started as a deliberately juvenile response to condescending public figures like Tipper Gore telling us to be nice, but by the end of the 00s it wasn’t in response to anyone specific anymore and had intensified to weirdly pointless and sneering hyper aggressive response to literally any earnest attempt at expression.

TLDR: America is a goon that ran some poo poo into the ground.

I dunno if telling someone who made a piece of art or media that seemingly a lot of people consumed and enjoyed that they're attention seeking when they apologise and express that they no longer associate or feel comfortable with the content any more.

Like if they made some blog post 16 years ago no one read, sure, but this is clearly a well known thing here so I think it's entirely appropriate to do so. God knows people whine for public apologies enough, but god forbid you do it before it's demanded and out of sincerity instead of obligation I guess.
