i think people conflate “this thing is edgy” with “this thing is insincere and mean-spirited” far too often

*Entering kindergarten classroom* Tell me five hobbies everyone has that AREN’T consuming media. Exactly, no idea how to engage with the real world *sees blues clues playing* you know that’s all pre-recorded slop right? Steve can’t hear you. and dogs aren’t even blue. This is the death of media literacy…

hi. have you considered playing the first chapter of my visual novel, soul of sovereignty? have you considered this list of enticing reasons to play it?

a rich fantasy world inspired by rpgs without all that pesky "g" getting in the way

an inscrutable dilf-clown relationship with an estimated 65% chance of making you insane

beautiful art [you make brief eye contact with me and see the incredible pain i must endure to praise myself in this way. and you simply have to stan]

a magic system based on the language of flowers that has kept me up at night for years (i acknowledge that this says much more about me than the work itself)

music by my friend toby fox, and also me in the background hitting the tambourine like at karaoke

what if kefka had the big bap

hello. are you still there? then take my hand, and come with me...

I often think about how funny the whole tracker plot is in twewy week 2. Like. Hanekoma updates Joshua’s phone to be able to track and react to Megumi’s imagination, to have a means to piece his plan together, but this is information that’s only gleaned from the secret reports. When neku asks what they’re looking for Joshua is annoyingly vague and is like “whatever the tracker is looking for ^_^” but he eventually gets frustrated Himself and thinks they’re running around in circles and complains to Mr. H that he gave them a dud. This is hilarious to me like. Did hanekoma just Not tell Joshua how it works or what it’s looking for. When they get the app “repaired” mr. H really just changes the functionality to track down the shibuya river instead and josh is like “aaahh it works now :)” and hanekoma apparently doesn’t bother explaining that it wasn’t broken to begin with or what the initial functionality actually was. Is the implication here that Hanekoma just Assumed Josh would know what they were looking for. And then realized they weren’t on the same page at all when he got a call back. Dude Why

'you are not immune to propaganda' is true but sometimes the way people deploy this particular soundbite reveals a complete unwillingness to attribute any agency or ideology to people who espouse some pretty heinous bigotry.

like there was a post going around recently talking about people whose parents became increasingly radicalized by fox news and it had one of those tumblr style comments on it along the lines of "REMEMBER! THIS COULD BE YOU! You are not immune to propaganda either. STAY VIGILANT" and the implication here is always that right wing radicalization is something that somehow happens to otherwise pleasant people without their consent or knowledge. But perhaps some of you guys just need to grapple with the fact that your parents might be more bigoted and reactionary than you want to believe.

nobody is immune to bad information ecosystems or groupthink or poor science or anything else that makes radicalization possible, but i do think the idea that anyone is just a bad news pipeline away from supporting white supremacy does a lot to let white supremacists off the hook. it's the same kind of line of thought that gets people to talk about how bad things in fiction shouldn't be 'romanticized'. its a kind of worldview that operates under the implicit belief that a human being is a vessel being uncritically filled with whatever you pour into it and does nothing to grapple with what the actual appeal of these far right talking points is to the sort of otherwise ""normal"" seeming people that can be sold on them.

I'm glad that people are still having fun on tumblr even after we found out about the frightening ghoul that reblogs posts but doesn't say anything

"you should read orv and develop a sense of self by over-relating to this piece of fiction" is actually great advice but only for people who are already into basing their sense of self off of fiction. people who don't need that don't have to be kim dokja. i think they can still spend some time with him and get a lot out of that but they don't need to be kim dokja. me though. i need it
