What are your thoughts on Hirsch?

i do genuinely respect him a lot (the fact that a bunch of the show was improvised is both horrifying and kinda amazing, standout examples being ford himself being written on the fly and also the last mabelcorn being written in a day) and love that he's insistent on the importance of found family and platonic affection, and that he's furious when people devalue family relationships if they're not directly blood related

but also a bunch of his ford takes are pretty iffy (even if he's gotten somewhat better about him recently) and he's pretty "two steps forwards, a bunch of shuffles back" about treating the abusive relationships he writes cos it was like "oh he's talking about it normally for the panels--" and then that charity stream was basically a cannonball to any goodwill he built up

also god damn he's bad with writing romance and picking side ships in general (tad/woodpecker guy is the most 'picked random names outta a hat' shit), especially when he's fully aware that it gets fans sidetracked from the main points he's trying to make with the series

his current take of bullying and shaming ai shills however? excellent! love to see this when people are going "uwu if we ignore them stealing and being shitheads maybe they'll go away there's nothing we can do anyway" defeatist bullshit-- do it hirsch!!! send your legions of obsessed fans after those morons!!! him openly bitching about how disney execs are a bunch of spineless cowards is great too

#and again sure have fun with your dolls and ships or whatever (as long as you tag it so i can avoid them)#i just personally find it a bummer that it is such a large aspect of fandom in general #man i'm still thinking about how sock opera was kinda framed as 'hey look we're killing mabel's boys obsession for now'#and then we were given the absolutely most dogshit b plot with the northwest ep which also sidelined her lmao #i actually don't hate dipper having lingering feelings for wendy cos we know that it goes nowhere and its like 'yeah ok trying to get #over someone is pretty hard' but it really needed to be balanced out with dipper actually getting to support wendy as a friend #writer who's full aware that he failed wendy as a character and continued to do so rip #also speaking of 'should be more aware of his impact on fandom' alex drawing out the hunky drifters catalogue request #for the j3 auction winner which kinda made some fans go wild over it and i'm just going #'the context of the catalogue oh my god how is everyone forgetting the horrifying implications of it'#neno blabs about ships #it is funny when people were like 'oh he's chill about any hc'#and meanwhile he openly bitched about how people mischaracterized his self insert when theorising he might side with bill #and telling those theorists to watch the damn show again properly
