yugioh abridged is unironically a cultural artifact. it pretty much kicked off the whole abridging scene, yeah, and that's had crazy effects on related industries. but more importantly, it's just that. having been around for nearly two fucking decades and tending to reference then-recent memes, cultural events, and online norms means that you can use it to trace the evolution of, like, our entire fucking society over the past 18 years. it's living archaeology.

and yes that means early stuff is shitty! it was expected for comedies to casually mock gay people in 2006! hell, trans people weren't generally even acknowledged as existing, which led to running jokes about a notably feminine male character that would read as eye-searingly transphobic if made now. and it was transphobic then too, but it was more a reflection of the normalization of transphobia in comedy than an actively bigoted rhetorical choice. most of them could be easily reframed as the currently-acceptable "this character is an egg and somehow keeps failing to realize" gag with very minor adjustments. this is due to the complete lack of implied vitriol or value judgements beyond "haha that's funny."

the creator really didn't mean any harm, he just didn't understand that he was doing harm. and when he started to learn, he struggled with poe's law for a while. and then he sorted it out! and he did so at roughly the exact same pace the majority of the internet did.

and that's cool. that's expected. people learn, as individuals and in groups. and it's wild to be able to track that through a deeply unserious meme-filled parody series making fun of a shitty anime designed to sell trading cards

one cool thing about having an autistic dad whose special interest is underwater spearfishing is that when he catches fish he'll just call up a nearby chinese restaurant like "hi. i caught a fish. can you cook it and i'll bring my family by?" and they're like "yeah sure come on over white boy" and the fish is delicious.

[beemovieerotica]

it's worth adding that my mom is chinese and she always gets embarrassed by this. like she doesn't want to come to the restaurant with us. she doesn't want to be seen with the white man she caught plus the fish that her white man caught. everyone who works at the restaurant thinks my dad is awesome and compliments him + her for choosing him and we all find this very fun except for her.

Twists can hit great, of course, but the thing about watching reading etc serialized stories that are both high quality and extremely predictably telegraphed is it's kind of the media equivalent of hungrily anticipating the cake you're going to have when you get home from work all day and then you finally get it and it's exactly as good as you imagined.

A detail I find really interesting about Chell, GLaDOS, and Wheatley's first confrontation in Portal 2 is when Wheatley starts gloating about taking over the facility. "I did this! Tiny little Wheatley did this!"

And GLaDOS interjects like, "You didn't do this. She did all the work!"

I find that interjection fascinating because. Like.

GLaDOS doesn't actually know anything about what happened behind the scenes. She lost track of Chell and Wheatley after Wheatley opened up a wall panel and they bolted off together into the facility's inner workings. She doesn't see them again until Chell falls for her fake door trap, at which point GLaDOS is unpleasantly surprised to discover that Chell's disabled the turrets and neurotoxin in the meantime.

She has no evidentiary foundation to base that accusation on.

This is also before GLaDOS recognizes Wheatley as the Dumbass Core, so it's not based on an assessment of him.

The only explanation it leaves is that it's based on her assessment of Chell. Despite GLaDOS's enmity towards Chell, the one thing she rarely goes after Chell for is her intelligence.

When she does, it's an admission of her high standards for Chell; Like when the fake door trap works and GLaDOS concedes, "I didn't actually think that would work. I already built a much better, smarter trap up ahead for when this one fails." That's a backhanded insult. It's calling her dumb, but in a disappointed way rather than an affirming way.

Chell tests very well. Between the two games, GLaDOS has developed a strong understanding of Chell's aptitude for critical thinking and problem-solving in stressful situations.

And so she takes it on faith, just from what she knows of Chell, that Wheatley is stealing Chell's credit.

there's a really fun balance when you know someone has a crush on you where you can tease them for having a crush on you without letting them know you know they have a crush on you. this only works because people who have crushes will analyze everything you say but not very well. anyway, i love playing with my food.

Gosh, that's so perfect. Your friend is actually the only one who is engaging with this post correctly. Supersedes my original intent, even. Sorry, I bow to her wisdom here. Tell your friend I hope she's having fun!
