all love and respect in the world to mister nicholas nocturnal but hearing him say “shipwrecked 64 isn’t mascot horror cuz it’s actually good” does drive me a bit insane

Like no!!! That’s not how it works!!! You cannot distance the piece of media you like from its genre just because the genre is embarassing or has a lot of bad content!

Shipwrecked 64 made this bed of a Disney parody-ing corporate entity who’s greed and corporate cost-cutting led to its cute nostalgic mascot turning into something horrific, and now it’s gotta lie in it whether it sells a bunch of bootleg plushies or not!

#Idk at this point I’m not even directing my frustration at Nick specifically #But this happens SO often it drives me up a wall #I hate when an entire genre becomes shorthand for trash so everyone scrambles to make excuses for the ones THEY like #It’s like when people on here claim they like X country singer but are quick to say it’s cuz “they’re not REALLY country”#Like no!! Do not cede an entire genre to the lowest common denominator!!#Broke: shipwrecked 64 isn’t mascot horror! It’s too good!#Woke: shipwrecked 64 IS mascot horror and its a prime example of what the genre COULD be if it stopped being so derivative and profit-drive
