having seen the minecraft movie trailer my opinion is: the actual character designs aren’t as bad as people are making them out to be (like the sheep is intentionally ugly that’s clearly the point and the piglins look about as good as they could possibly look in that “live action” style, I like that they seem to be using some of the legends piglin stuff). however the compositing is… it’s bad. everyone looks blatantly like they’re standing in front of a greenscreen. even the 3D models that are animated don’t look like they’re actually in the environments they’re supposed to be in but the human actors especially look baaaad.

the good news: if it really is “they aren’t done with compositing” there’s still enough time for it to look much better by the final cut! like that is Very Fixable in the time window they have!

the bad news: but it’s bad enough to make me blatantly go “oh no why didn’t they just animate it they could have just made it animated if the only things that are going to look good are animated anyway”

the worse news: 50/50 odds the studio decides to instead go “what if we ‘fix’ the character designs last minute”, which then will mean they ABSOLUTELY won’t have time to fix “they all are so clearly standing on a sound stage my god”,

i've been talking about this with friends over discord but i really need to say it publicly that i think it is entirely unproductive to sift through years of old video footage to look for signs that wilbur was and is an abuser or run his statement through (very inaccurate) AI detectors to argue that a human didn't write it when it's just your average lawyered corpospeak

i think a lot of people, especially younger people in this fandom, feel blindsided and want to find some kind of secret damning evidence that was hiding in plain sight that they missed but that's just not how abuse works most of the time. abusers are people that can and often are perfectly pleasant to most people. there isn't some secret trick to detecting them around you. and while a lot of what we've seen can be recontextualized knowing what we know, it helps absolutely no one to work ourselves into a frenzy to pull out of context clips to paint a narrative of victimhood on every single person he's ever interacted with. there's stuff he's done on camera in the past that we can be uncomfortable with especially knowing what we know now but it is revisionist to act like the same acts people cooed over and called 'brotherly' 2 weeks ago are suddenly smoking guns of abuse.

wilbur is not some disney supervillain who is rotten down to his core he's a human person who definitely wrote or got his team to write his shitty apology and definitely manipulated the people around him but there isn't some film reel of his abuse that we can play or people can look to to say they somehow knew he was a bad person all along

we have actual stories from actual victims to uplift and focus on, we don't need to dig for more things and slap a victim label on people who have not come forward to do so themselves and if they do come forward we can support them then but for the love of god can we stop circulating clips of wilbur and tommy's staged antics or wilbur yelling during mcc

all my love to shelby shubble and everyone else who is affected by this man's actions and is now being exposed to some of the most infuriating discourse conceivable. and fuck that man sincerely.
