#like i cant judge the creepypasta itself yet bc i havent finished reading it

So the video on the inverted mickey thing goes on and on about how its a story that REALLY exposes Disneys corporate greed.

And then the only example of that the video gives is. A rule that if your coworker dies in a mascot costume you have to like. Keep working next to them?? Weekend at bernies them?? Thats the only example the video gives and its. Not a particularly strong one.

Like ok the set up for the inverted mickey thing, the earliest event in the timeline according to the video is an incident in which a huge crowd of people are crowded into a bomb shelter in the park, begin a mass panic and then vanish suddenly, replaced by a spooky guy.

Honestly I like this as a scary story without having to use gore. I still believe the Spooky Guy addition is just. Too much. You couldve just stopped at everyone vanishing.

But like...how the fuck does this tie back to the supposed message of corporate greed the video is telling me the creepypasta has???

And it wouldve been so easy to write it like that. To talk about how the bunkers were not built to handle the number of people or that the gas masks were made cheaply, etc. There werent enough staff hired to help and there was crushing incident that caused people to begin to panic. So easy.

What this incident does set up is the concept that people believing hard enough in something makes it real. They believed they were going to die, so they did. And this event leaves a strange entity. And thats what has caused the scary mickey to appear.

And this concept is cool! I like the idea of a mass tulpa! Its like fucked up Santa magic! And like you could make it about how people's views of disney have soured over time as the company's greed has fucked over more and more people - people whose houses have been bulldozed, people who worked as cast members, people who were sued. Over time the greed begins to corrupt the "tulpas" once made by a mass belief in "Disney magic"

But the video doesnt give any indication of this at all! Just saying they "randomly got corrupted" . Okay!???!?!???

It makes me feel like the author absolutely was not thinking of making this some deep commentary on Corporate Greed like the video wants me to believe. Either the video skipped over all of the symbolism is keeps saying there is SO MUCH of or the story is bad at creating a powerful parallel......or the video is just coming up with a deep-sounding label to slap onto what was just "oooh i got a cool creepy idea"!!! Which like...I dont have an issue with! It doesnt have to be deep. But dont School Essay Bullshit your youtube video without even providing flimsy evidence 😭
