I'd never clicked on an Alex Meyers video in my life despite youtube recommending him a lot because his dumb little character gawking at everything didn't exactly give the impression of a thoughtful critic. From that impression I wouldn't trust him to tackle a movie like Obsession but I honestly couldn't have predicted how bad it'd be.

Jokey critiques really don't mesh well with serious subject matter. Why are you insinuating the rape victim is a crazy person for ... having a crystal necklace? wanting to be a writer? being portrayed by an actress who's latina? Weird misogynistic and racist jokes in the best of circumstances but when talking about a character who is being sexually abused it's a whole other level.

And he keeps bringing up goddamn Disney Channel movies to prove that Bear isn't that bad which really highlights that he's out of his depth here. But the thing is, kids movies with a comparable main gimmick are invariably about how doing that to a person is wrong. It's just a softer and more forgivable version of it because it's for, you know, kids? Bear is not morally equivalent to Zendaya's character in Zapped because she's a teen who wants her brothers to fart less and he's an adult who sexually abuses a woman.

Kids' movies generally use the main character as an audience insert, so the kids get to learn a lesson along with a character they relate to. In that sense, Alex Meyers might be less mature than a child. He looked at a character he relates to doing horrible things, and instead of doing some self examination, he chose to try and explain why it actually wasn't that bad.

watching the naruto anime for the first time and wow oof modern production has spoiled me. Every time anything happens im like i swear this was cool in the manga and didnt go on for ten minutes plus flashbacks. Good grief people weren't kidding about the flashbacks. And no offense to the animators, I'm sure you did your best with what you had, but some of those frames look like something i'd draw. The music kinda slaps though

minor thing that gets on my nerves is when some blogger posts like "i can't find any stories with X characters" and someone tries to be helpful and recommend a story with an X character only for the op to flip out at them. Like how dare you suggest that I subject myself to that garbage just because it has representation. Obviously when i said i can't find any stories with x what that actually meant was I've found every story with x and they're all beneath me.

First episode of the Onion's InfoWars has a whole segment investigating Alex Jones' death (spontaneously blew up in a balloon-like fashion) and I for one think that's beautiful.

Alex Jones lost his brand for spreading conspiracies about dead kids and now the new owners are making fun of him, claiming he is dead or a clone, and using the proceeds to compensate his victims. If that's not justice then it is some damn good schadenfraude.

from what i gather tadc is essentially this generations homestuck. white transfem creator with a racist sense of humor makes multimedia series about being trapped in a video game that fails to deliver on all the interesting parts of its premise in favor of focusing on a secondary character whose abusive tendencies and multiple murders are shrugged off because she had a bad childhood. The major improvement on the formula being that tadc lasted nine episodes and was made over the span of just a few years, as opposed to homestuck's zombie franchise whose shambling corpse will continue to periodically jumpscare me until the end of my miserable life.

always nice to see a story that doesn't treat drug addicts like a videogame enemy type

it's gotta be an entire trope, i swear I've seen this on repeat with webtoons. Arc with a villain who's a drug kingpin of some kind and the users are basically his army of zombies. And there's just no awareness that they might in some way be victims in this. They're just evil criminals who got the evil criminal pills to do evil crime. I'd like to see one be a character and actually, I don't know, have a personality, help the heroes, try to get clean and actually fucking show why that's not easy to do.

I keep thinking about Zackie and Billy and how the news whitewashed the police brutality they suffered, all because of their drug use. I can't not feel sick to my stomach a little bit every time i see entertainment echo that rhetoric.

I went to a con recently and from a quick glance at the events the one that stuck out to me was a presentation of a new video game. I play video games and like to imagine I will someday make one, so I was interested. I expected a gameplay showcase or maybe a technical breakdown by the devs. Instead I got the most AI-generated speech I've heard in my entire goddamn life. "It's not X, it's Y" must have been every other sentence. And the wild thing is that they spoiled the while game, twists and endings included. Just plot points dryly recapped at you, and by the way you dont visit this world, you don't explore this world, you experience it.

Assuming there's an actual game, rather than a pile of vibe code spaghetti in a chatgpt log somewhere, what a disservice to do to your creative project. Even what the characters are meant to represent is spelled out. Like do you even want me to play the game? Cant find out the story by myself, can't interpret it by myself, and there's not even a unique visual style or gameplay loop to get excited about because you're not showing me that shit.

And for just the cherry on top, the plot is basically a matrix ripoff. Like the whole "do i rather live in an comforting AI illusion or the ruined real world" dilemma. Which is a perfectly good subject for a videogame to explore, but the absolute last topic I care to see taken on by people who couldn't be fucked to write their own goddamn game presentation.
