We here at Sylph Co. are proud to announce the opening of an official tumblr account. By manufacturing and distributing Pokéballs and Trainer Acessories, we're not just selling supplies, we're selling connections between people and pokémon

I keep coming back to this, it’s such an incredible meta-commentary on capitalism and digital control.

Someone made a Tumblr account pretending to be the Pokeball monopoly in a fictional universe, and people made a “KUNG POW PENIS” string using the in-universe letter-shaped pokemon, followed by a pokemon (zorua) making a slamming blast towards the camera, completing the spell or whatever.

They’re mirroring the real-life “silence capitalist” attitude, against a real account pretending to be a fake corporation, using symbols from the fake corporation’s world. They’re pretending like this attitude exists in-universe. This attitude in part exists due to real-life corporations increasingly encroaching into social life and injecting their presence on social media, like this fictional corporation is doing. It works as a good joke!

The real-life Pokemon company, presumably, issues a takedown, or the corporation of Tumblr does so voluntarily on their behalf, taking down the fictional KUNG POW PENIS on a copyright claim.

In doing so, they’re protecting real corporate interests, against a bunch of people fake-insulting a fake corporation. The result looks exactly like the same pro-corporate control over media exists in-universe, as if the fictional company had issued a harassment or defamation takedown instead. In doing so, Tumblr advanced the joke even further by showing why the anti-corporate attitude would exist in a supposed Pokemon utopia.

also accidentally creates the suggestion that people were just posting oodles of pokemon pornography

I mentioned on twitter that I had a mild pet peeve for deltarune artists drawing young Carol Holiday as a y2k goth baddie when mathematically she probably grew up in the 70s/80s and her fashion would reflect the alternative scenes of the time. And I wanted to be productive soooouhhhhh vintage punk deer woman it is
