So there's some video game that incel MAGA losers decided to make their entire personality for the month called Stellar Blade because there's this girl with some skin tight suit in it.

Every time a reviewer doesn't give it a 10/10 one of those losers will freak out and say "it's because there's no trans or fat women in it!" even if they're giving it something like a 7 or 8/10.

Then the full game comes out and they gave that girl some lace that kind of but not really covers part of the woman's body. You can still see her ass and breasts. Hell, I'm pretty sure the comic covers more than the game does.

And the person who seems to be crying about it the most is the one who got made fun of by the devs of Helldivers 2. (Which I now know is about going to other planets and taking their resources, so it's pretty blatant.)

Adam Ellis' comic about Wicker Basket is almost 10 years old at this point & not a single YA book that gets famous online has ever proved it wrong

Adam Ellis, huh? People like these?

I as a Millennial remember most of us making fun of scene kids, but someone somewhere has decided people born from 1980 to 1996 are of the same generation, inexplicably, so here this is.

This is more just about how as people age, they dress more conservatively and get grumpy. Which is true. ...It isn't funny, but it's true.

His hat says "PEE PEE POO POO" instead of "Make America Great Again". Biting New York satire there, Adam.

Also this is based on someone else's tweet? I...what?

This is making fun of that Marie Kondo thing.

It's okay, I guess.

I don't know why Adam and Marie look like different species.

Alright.

Alright.

...What?

I guess living in NYC is more difficult for people who look like this than I thought:

New Media is just Old Media on the Internet. It's owned by the same people and just as network television as all that stuff most of us stopped consuming as soon as YouTube became a thing.

Which is why all of these companies collapsed.

Plus we are firmly in an anti-webcomic space now.

### The Dear David Twitter Thread: A Modern Tale of Haunting

In the digital age, where much of our entertainment comes from screens and social media, Adam Ellis’s "Dear David" Twitter thread in 2017 brought an old genre into a new medium. Ellis, a cartoonist by profession, recounted his haunting experiences with a ghostly child named "Dear David." His narrative, rich with disturbing dreams, eerie photos, and unexplained events, captivated millions and redefined how we consume horror stories.

**A Modern Storyteller’s Medium**

Adam Ellis’s choice of Twitter, a platform known for its brevity and immediacy, was unconventional yet oddly fitting for a ghost story. Each tweet, limited by character count, heightened the suspense and left readers in a state of perpetual anticipation. This fragmented style of storytelling allowed for real-time engagement, making the audience feel as though they were part of the unfolding mystery. As Ellis shared photo evidence of strange occurrences in his apartment and recounted his vivid, unsettling dreams, the threads between reality and fiction blurred.

**The Eerie Allure of Dear David**

The story begins with Ellis dreaming of a young, deformed boy named David who appears at the foot of his bed. In his dreams, David can answer only two questions correctly; any deviation leads to a fatal encounter. These initial details cast a spell on readers, combining the innocence of a child with the terror of the supernatural. As Ellis's dreams become more vivid and his waking life begins to mirror the hauntings, the gripping narrative takes a dark turn. Eerie photographs and videos posted by Ellis show household objects moving on their own, odd shadows, and inexplicable phenomena, compelling readers to question their understanding of the paranormal.

**Crafting Viral Horror**

What sets the "Dear David" thread apart is not just the spine-chilling content, but Ellis’s adept use of social media to craft a viral horror sensation. His updates were strategically timed, creating periods of agonizing suspense between revelations. This method of storytelling transformed the thread into an interactive experience, with followers dissecting every post, analyzing photos, and speculating on upcoming events. The widespread sharing and engagement turned "Dear David" into a communal experience, fostering a shared sense of fear and curiosity.

**The Impact and Legacy**

The "Dear David" thread is more than just a sequence of ghostly events; it is a pioneering effort in the realm of digital storytelling. It underscores the potential of social media platforms to bring traditional genres into new light, offering immersive and interactive experiences. Additionally, the phenomenon reflects modern society’s insatiable appetite for horror, amplified by the internet’s ability to connect and engage audiences worldwide.

In essence, the "Dear David" Twitter thread is a testament to how storytelling has evolved in the digital age. By blending age-old ghost story elements with the immediacy and reach of social media, Adam Ellis created an unforgettable narrative that continues to haunt the imaginations of many. As we move further into the digital future, the legacy of "Dear David" will likely inspire new modes of storytelling that capitalize on the unique features of contemporary platforms.
