At the risk of revealing that I'm a Crazy Conspiracy Theorist I really do think that the biggest reason Hollywood seems to hate youtubers and wants nothing to do with them is because they are infinitely harder to control. People usually have to pay their dues to become famous, usually have to sign their damn soul away or do crazy awful shit in order to get a hand up—but you can't threaten obscurity to someone who already has a large fan base. Who is, in a lot of ways, already famous. A while back Mark talked about his time at a red carpet gathering and how no one would look at him or pay attention to him; almost like he was getting deliberately snubbed for being a youtuber. And yeah a lot of it is probably also the fact that "real" actors and directors don't see youtuber creations as valuable or Real Art, but I also think that a big part of that hostility is that he's not tied to it like they are. They can't make him do anything. Which, again I'm theorizing, is why I think Iron Lung is getting clotheslined. Because you know damn well that if Mark has enough money to produce it himself, then he has enough to advertise and release it himself. But he can't. For Some Reason. He's got to jump through hoops first because, well.

It really is all about control.

honestly i love the fact that shen yuan is an unreliable narrator and i love it for one reason only—i get to imagine things that are going on in the background of svsss that fly completely over his head

example: it’s my hc that as the Author™, shang qinghua has the power to directly break the fourth wall and is constantly looking into the metaphorical camera and talking shit about him, but the story’s in shen yuan’s pov and he never even notices cause he’s too wrapped up in Anxiety and Gay Repression. shang qinghua is fully aware that his story is getting turned into published danmei and he’s actively criticizing both the audience and his fellow characters.

is it not a shame my native tongue is not mine?

If Shang Qinghua also wrote TGCF

Hua Cheng: So if you made this world and everyone in it...

Hua Cheng: That means you made dianxia into the most perfect and ideal being

Shang Qinghua: Actually, that's Mobei-Jun

Hua Cheng: Incorrect

Shang Qinghua: You can't correct me, I'm literally your go-

Hua Cheng: Absolutely incorrect!

I think the issue I'm having with the "you can't blame the average voter, you should blame the institutions that were supposed to prevent those voters from being stupid!" is that it inherently buys into the idea that there's some sort of elite class that's supposed to do the *real* ruling and average people aren't supposed to actually be able to choose their representatives because they're too stupid and ignorant to be trusted.

Like, Republicans already believe that! That's WHY they vote for people like Trump, who vow to take down those establishments, punish those elite, ivy-tower academics and give "the American people" a real voice in government!

And it also presupposes that those institutes have WAY more power over people's opinions than I think they do. Like if Trump had been tried for treason, do you really think that was going to convince his voters he actually did it, or do you think they would have used it as proof that Biden was using the Justice Department to prosecute political enemies? If the news had gone harder on Trump's fascism do you think it would have reached more people, or do you think he would have spun it as "they're attacking us because they know that we're winning and we're going to bring freedom back to America!"

And I don't know the answer! Maybe it WOULD have swayed enough people. I definitely think the courts and the news and the Democrats should have tried harder, just because it's the right thing to do to attack fascism on every available level. But I don't think you can say that we definitely would have won if they had, and I think if we HAD run that play and lost we'd be listening to a bunch of people talking about how obviously we went in too hard and we should have focused more on solidarity and outreach. Hindsight is 20/20, y'know?

ethel cain is actually so funny and by funny i mean stupid bc what do you mean Kamala “got on that debate stage and said israel had the right to blow the levant to smithereens”? are you just dumb? is that what it is? I genuinely don’t understand where she got that from bc it doesn’t even sound like we watched the same debate. if you take “israel has the right to defend itself from terror attacks (as all countries do)” to mean “israel has the right to blow everyone up indiscriminately bc why not” you should probably refrain from public speaking, bc that’s embarrassingly intellectually dishonest.

It sucks so much that as someone with a severe and persistent mental illness it's MY responsibility to jump through hoops and be proactive in contacting people at limited times of the day just to get MY MEDS THAT I'VE BEEN TAKING CONSISTENTLY FOR YEARS

[thehellsaint]

"sysmed" and "traumascum" are truly repulsive terms. The mental disorder you're cosplaying is, shocker, a disorder.

disorders are medical issues. just because you feel entitled to the parts of a disorder you find fun doesn't make the disorder less of a disorder.
