#Doritos (Brand)

[duplexide]

you don’t suppose pepsico decided to start distancing itself from gamer culture because of well, to put it lightly the last few years of major gamer streamer misconduct? By which I mean the pedophilia and nazi shit that made it to mainstream news.

Gamers have never had an upstanding reputation. IDK what's going on in the world of streaming, but back in the 2000s "gamer" called to mind 12 year olds virtually shooting eachother while shouting out every expletive known to man. So I don't think streamers are the reason.

That's the short answer, but people seem to like hearing my thoughts on consumer aesthetics on here, so I'll rant a bit more on the subject.

Regardless of how ethical gamers were viewed as in the 2000s-2010s, products like axe, 5 gum, and mountain dew exploded when targeting them as a demographic. It served as kind of a dark, edgy inversion of the sterile white apple aesthetic that dominated the mainstream, and we got some genuinely cool branding out of it.

Up until recently this had naturally evolved into a sort of loud, maximalism, trading its subdued, serious edge for something more colorful and ironic. It's practically a parody of edge, but it's so fun and zany it's hard to dislike this direction.

I really thought that THIS style would embody the 2020s, that this paired with things like Fortnite and blindbox toys would kind of characterize the era for its distracting, vapid, disposable, post-postmodern irony. This has all felt like a logical reaction to the sterility of 2010s design.

However, now it seems we're taking an abrupt U turn into a sort of conservative, retro 70s throwback era of design. It seems like corporations are trying to appeal more to boomers and hipsters in an attempt to broaden their appeal. These rebrands strike me as decisions made out of fear, corporations retreating into their shells.

I don't know if this is WORSE than the sterile minimalism of the 2010s but I DEFINITELY hate it.

So, this devolution is likely not due to controversies with gamers specifically, but more like an attempt to reject modernity and revert back to what's "safe" during uncertain times. I think corporations now are generally trying to seem more "evergreen" and "timeless" within an increasingly unstable corporate landscape and hypercritical social culture. This comes at the sacrifice of their edge and ambition to evolve.

hi! Can you write a drabble/hc of fem mechanic reader x dva?your writing is amazing btw💫

Hana “D.va” Song x Mech! F! Reader

↳ Warnings | Established relationship, maybe some grammar mistakes

— When you’re not working on your own weapon or fixing up whatever , you can be found helping D.va out with her mech. (That thing is huge)

— She doesn’t mind a bit of help but she mostly likes to fix her mech herself because she knows what goes where and all that jazz. But she can’t pass up on an opportunity to send some quality time with her lover.

— In return she’ll help you fix whatever you need fixing. But that works out 90% of the time.

— ALWAYS asks you to bring her a bag of chips or another can of Nano Cola.

“Can you pass me another bag of chips, please?” This is the 5th time she asked for some chips. Even though it started to get on your nerves she isn’t in the best shape. Especially after the incident where she saved the whole city.

“Can’t you get it this time?” You teased. A bead of sweat rolls down your temple. Hana seems to pout when you say this. She motions to her leg that is obviously broken, you can’t help but feel a bit guilty of your little joke. “Okay, okay. I know. I’ll go get your chips that you oh, so deserve!”

— Sometimes you think about bringing your own drinks because hearing “Nano Cola, enjoy!” With the little tune can be hilariously annoying. It’s basically engraved into your mind.

Now that there’s easy access to a functioning portal again, I bet there’s a lot of trading food between realms. Even if they’re not living with her anymore, I bet Camila would still want to have demon food available for Luz’s friends when they visit. It’s like when people have the separate saucepan with no meat for vegetarians, except she’s making spaghetti sauce with no eyeballs for herself and Luz. Probably the Hexsquad have a few human foods they got attached to (I am envisioning this as a strict dichotomy where their faves are all either Camila’s home cooking or terrible radioactive junk food). Camila and Eda would be collaborating to make sure Luz has food she can enjoy while she’s at Eda’s as a teen. Maybe the exchange program at Eda’s university could have like, a vegetable garden and a chicken coop to help support human diets. I also think Amity, once she gets the hang of Luz’s dietary restrictions, would be super aggressive about accommodating them and trying to find restaurants for their Boiling Isles dates where Luz can eat something other than the complimentary bread. Powerful “excuse me she asked for no pickles” vibes except those are like, demon pickles that would literally burn a hole in Luz’s stomach

So-

Last night I had a dream.

A dream where I was stuck floating in a galaxy tied to a chair with tape on my mouth,(trust me this isn’t going where you think it is.)

And I was being bullied for how poor I am by none other than Bill Cypher….

Cyclops tortilla chip proceeded to tell me It was laughable how poor I was and that I should start selling cool ranch Doritos flavors toothpaste as a business practice-

….

Should I draw this? I think I should draw this.
