I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.

It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.

By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.

Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.

Please Help Me Achieve My Dreams. Even A Small Amount Or Sharing Will Help.

My name is Buhle, and I'm from South Africa. I'm trying to gain admission into an educational program in Bangkok, Thailand, and I've exhausted every option I can possibly think of. I've contacted banks, companies, and even relatives, but nothing has worked out. My parents don't have enough money to fund me because the program fees are in dollars, and our currency is weaker compared to dollars. Even if you can spare $5, it would mean the world to me. Thank you for your kindness.

Please share this post as much as you can to help me. Thank you again. ❤️❤️❤️

Not gonna lie, maybe this is supremely petty of me (it is), but as someone who is the very embodiment of a casual gamer and can name vastly more video games than he has ever actually played, the backlash to the Minecraft movie trailer is perversely satisfying to me, because... yeah no shit, of course this was what Hollywood was always going to turn out.

Like did you really think that a video game movie languished in development hell for a decade because they were just sitting on an absolute gold mine of an idea, and not that they had consistently and singularly failed to get any idea off the ground? Then again, the Mario movie was supposedly going to be the absolute worst thing in history because Chris Pratt, only to have the discourse completely shift to how wrong the evil/woke critics were to think the Italian plumber kids' movie wasn't the single defining moment of twenty-first century cinema.

So y'know, capital G gamers are both fickle and whiny. Shocking information. See you all in a few months when a clip referencing the Yogscast or some shit goes viral and everyone decides that you're not allowed to bad-mouth it without being shot in the back of the head and dumped on the I-405.

sidebar to get ahead of this before some smart-arse points it out: "oh you're just mad 'cause they called out critics"

uh yeah actually i do kinda take issue with hordes of people spouting borderline anti-intellectual rhetoric about how the thing i do for a pseudo-living is empty and meaningless. it's just like the widespread "haha what if the author just wanted to make le curtains le blue" snickering. like yeah am i expecting everyone to deep dive into the relationship between auteurism and profit under the capitalist studio system in order to analyse a random book trilogy? no of course not, i fully understand that i'm just very mentally ill and probably have an outsized grasp of my own writing abilities.

but looking down your nose at people who choose to think about media in that way is indicative of nothing more than your own staggering lack of curiosity, and it's a pretty good answer for how you get to a declaration that the people of the uk have had enough of experts, or a world in which there's a real possibility that americans are somehow going to look at the events of 2017 to 2021 and say "more of that please" come november.

so no, don't expect me to coddle your desire to retreat from the world back into your fond childhood memories just for the sake of it. that's not a critic's job.

Bonus thought

I think a lot of teenagers and kids opinions on trolls 3 will change a lot as they get older, not in a bad way, and I hope it brings some ppl who grew up in unhappy houses solace as they get older that the mistakes you make with your siblings as a kid due to be stressed children don't have to be your future as you reconnect as adults and you can confront your past when the time comes ok ily

Halloween Costume Curse - Chapter 1

@thespiderpig1999 posted the idea for this story here. I thought I would oblige his request for it to become a full story.

Synopsis: Jason is an arrogant personal trainer who decides to dress up as a fat slob for Halloween. But weird things can happen on Halloween, and Jason is in for a surprise when he wakes up tomorrow morning...

This chapter is really just the beginning, it just sets the scenario up. I have not quite settled on the specifics of how the curse will work (specifically how it affects reality/other characters' memories). So it's not that much actual slob stuff just yet.

"Man, this shit keeps getting in my way," Jason muttered under his breath. "At least it'll be worth it when the boys see me like this. It'll get a laugh out of them for sure!" He squeezed himself out of the car and made his way into the bar Hayden had booked for their Halloween party. "Hey look! Is that Jason?" "No way! Bro that's fucking hilarious!" "Haha, you look like a pig!" Jason laughed and shook the padding around his abdomen. "That's what I was aiming for!" He grabbed some chips from a bowl and made a show of scarfing them down and chewing with his mouth open. One of the guys gave him a beer which he quickly scolled. "BE-UURRP!" he belched, as everyone laughed. Hayden, dressed as a vampire, came over. He patted Jason's fake gut and tugged at his ill-fitting and stained T-shirt. "Looks like it'll be easier for me to get laid tonight! I don't see you scoring looking like a slob." Jason barked a laugh. "I can get any girl, even looking like this and you know it." "Prove it then," Hayden crossed his arms and raised his chin. "Let's see you try your best." "All right, you're on."

Jason cast his gaze around the room. He needed to find a really hot chick, someone who'd really make Hayden jealous and show him who's the top dog around here. Over by the bar, he saw a cute girl in a witch costume talking to a guy dressed as Superman. He strolled over. "Hey kiddo, nice costume," he said to the guy. "Oh, thanks," he replied, a little embarrassed. "Yeah, it's really clever: Superman after he quits crime-fighting and starts to let himself go, right?" Jason poked the guy's little belly, the tight fabric doing nothing to hide the fact he had the beginnings of a muffin top. "Oh, ah…" the guy looked uncomfortable and quietly excused himself. Jason snickered and turned to the girl. "I'm sorry you had to talk with a wimp like him, but don't worry, I'm here now." To his surprise, the girl wasn't smiling. Damn, is this fat suit really going to get in my way? "He might be a little fat," the girl said. "But you're the real pig." "Hey, you know this is just a costume, right? I'm actually a personal trainer; I've got a six pack under all this padding." "Yeah, but under that you're just a pig: rude, thoughtless and insatiable." "Hah, you're not wrong about 'insatiable'," he grinned, looking her up and down. He called over the bartender to get a drink and turned back to the girl. She looked a little less angry. In fact, there was a mischievous gleam to her eyes. "You know," she smiled. "You better watch out: I'm a real witch and tonight is Halloween." "So?" "It's the night when the wall between the spirit world and human world is thinnest, the night my power is strongest." She pulled out her wand and playfully waved it. "If you're not careful, I might just cast a curse on you." Jason laughed. "Man, you're cute." The bartender arrived with his drink. Jason turned to give his friends, who were watching from afar, a wink. Time to close the deal. He leaned in closer. "You know, if you like wands, I've got a big one you can play with. Why don't we ditch this lame-ass party and go somewhere a little more private?" He picked up his drink and took a sip, the witch girl smiled slyly. "I think no," she said, getting off her stool. "And by the way, don't say I didn't warn you." Jason watched her go, confused by her cryptic message. Taking his glass, he returned to his friends." "What were you doing there?" "Yeah, I can't believe you fucked that up." Hayden grinned and put an arm around Jason's back. "Don't feel too bad bro. If it makes you feel any better, even I struggle to get the girls. Sometimes I can only pull one a night." Jason smiled, trying not to show his irritation, and pushed Hayden's arm off him. "I guess this fat suit's just so realistic she thought I was a fat slob. Her loss, she doesn't know what she's missing out on." He laughed. "You know what, if I'm gonna look like a slob tonight, might as well act like one, right?" He lifted his glass to his lips and downed it in one swallow, letting out a massive belch in Hayden's face. Everyone (except Hayden, who was clearly pissed with him) laughed, egging him on. I'm not going to let some weird girl ruin my night, he thought. Tonight'll be a night to remember!

I assume the Mormon church’s PR dept is slightly less crusty than the average church org, and if there are any 40-ish-year-old ladies working there, they likely had a doll (or wanted one). I thought for sure they’d have a knockoff pioneer doll.

On a semi-related note, if you haven’t fallen down the rabbit hole of Mormon trek videos on YouTube, I highly recommend it for the sheer WTF-ness.

oh, I'm sure that would be the case for PR people, you're right. I have watched some Trek videos! I do find the Mormon people's cultural propensity for LARP really endearing on some level. I would have enjoyed Trek so much had I been raised LDS but I do understand why a lot of people find it miserable.

When watching wish reviews leads you to finding people bitching about activism in hollywood.

""Corporatism kills creativity" yea I guess but you know what kills it more? When activism comes before entertainment" in other words, shut fuck up and make me a movie. For fucks sake, artists are better off working independently at this point, I swear. At least you'll be subjected to semi-self imposed bad working conditions. At least you put more thought into the "wokeness" in your movies

People like that *really* love to ignore the biggest movies of last year.

Mario (bitched about because they made peach a #girlboss)

Barbie (bitched about because feminism (cowards didn't even call it a feminist movie))

Spiderverse (has black-Latino main character with a love interest implied to be Trans. The fan favorite is OVERTLY left wing)

Didnt see Oppenheimer but I doubt it was pro-american.
