woowww yeah i can't believe the sdv update has been out so long and most i've heard is that it's great and now that i'm finally trying to catch up with the content i'm finding out it gives me the icks. uhhhmmm.

#like. i can't buy leo being good enough at speaking english but adopting gibberish unstructured broken english due to being raised by birds #and then reverting to more proper english when the farmer interacts with him more #like. realistically for me the question would be do the birds know broken english because of leo or #because there were a native population of humans whose languages were not natively english but they picked up their own pidgin #and those people taught the birds that #like leo speaking Like That feels shoehorned if there's no context of native islanders being there and being an influence #like. oh so joja is bad for coming here to pelican town and trying to take over the local economy at the expense of the local community #but it's ok for the farmer to do the same bc hey conveniently nobody is here except for white people who are free not to abide by #any culture different to theirs #an any natives are actually just the nonhuman dwarve race same as the guy u see in the mines so it's fine #meanwhile the entire aesthetic of the island and the trope of the stranded western child and western archeologist #are reminiscent of exploitation films!!!#it's a bad taste in my mouth and i'm in like. highkey disbelief
