"#You lost me at psychological thriller, could make it more consumable to people who don't like horror, right? #like I watched DDLC out of the corner of my eye in a tiny window, I wouldn't be able to handle watching a show (pleading face emoji)".

I want someone to make one of these new sterile teen gay romance shows on Netflix but halfway through they pull a Doki Doki Literature Club and it turns into a fucked up fourth wall breaking psychological thriller that deconstructs the heteronormative and middle class ideals of the genre

#image tag #text tag #doki doki literature club #Consumer culture is a blight on this world and I say this as someone who also can't handle horror because of genuine triggers #Like. There are things in this world not meant to be consumed by you. In fact the idea of art as creation for mass consumption is an issue.#Art is meant to make a point. Sometimes the point is ''Oh this would be so cute''. Sometimes the point is ''Hey I've seen this trope I feel #—is trite and overused and I want to criticize it by creating a piece of art that shocks or surprises others and challenges them—#by inverting or subverting their expectations of this trope''.#And this does not prevent you from liking a trope you think is cute. Okay. This is what messes people up. Some things are not meant for you #The potential series being proposed here is meant for people who would resonate with this. Not for people who eat up the sterile romances.#Making it a sterile romance defeats the point. This is not for you.#I played DDLC and got badly triggered and couldn't sleep for several nights. It was required for a class. I would not remove its horror.#The point of that game is the horror. Subversion of VN tropes coexisting with a love of the medium of VNs as a form of artistic expression #It was so fucking good of a game also I don't regret playing it even if it fucked me up really badly. Like it was really good #ANYWAYS FUCK. IF YOU SEE ME RAMBLING ON HERE DON'T LIKE SCREENSHOT THIS AND RESHARE IT.#I HAVE TIMESTAMPS ON. THIS DISCUSSION IS A YEAR OLD IT'S DEAD AND DECEASED. IT DOESNT MATTER. ITS DONE.#I just like rambling and this sparked something in me but rekindling stupid arguments is a Tumblr specialty I don't wanna add onto it now #nebbie text posting #I could say a lot about the difference between bland thriller style horror and psyche horror too but I won't. I won't.#Well-written horror is not about Ew gross scary though it's more than that. Ok. Ok that's all
