think "you would never behave this way irl" should less be emphasized because sometimes these people do in fact behave that way irl. instead i think it'd be more productive + to-the-point to say "this is an abrasive and anti-social way to interact with a stranger regardless of setting".
I dont like how "reclaim" has turned into "can use against others in the exact same way it always has been and equally offensively"
It's almost impressive how bad some are at estimating fat people weights
legitimately one of the funniest videos in earth
barnyard the original party animals is the uncontested lord of bad implications in childrens movies
ok so like âthe secret life of xâ movies tend to not strongly explore the actual reasons why, exactly, their life has to be secret⊠they donât really focus on it within the narrative. They do usually have some small justification for why animals or video games or toys or whatever have never just revealed themselves:
Thereâs no stated reason. They just pretend to not be alive. We usually can suspend our suspension of disbelief here because when itâs something like a video game or an emoji because any odd occurrences is perceived as a glitch or something similar but the actual reason why they arenât too hung up on this kinda shitty lot in life isnât said
They get something out of their current relationship with humans (like in toy story)
They have some specific reason to hide that theyâre alive, like they die if theyâre seen (like in the christmas toy)
They perceive themselves as sentient, talking creatures, but humans canât understand them. They just see a squeaking mouse or an inanimate hot dog or whatever.Â
and the last one is what most animal movies do, and itâs like, not devoid of weird implications but you can see where it mostly works.
but barnyard is the outlier here: it goes with tier one: the animals can talk and walk on two legs but just pretend that they canât for unstated reasons.Â
in the history of the barnyard world non human animals, at some point, decided to just pretend to be unable to speak. a âcowâ or a âcoyoteâ or a âhenâ do not exist as we know it in the barnyard universe. the baa of the sheep is false; the ewe doesnât understand it either. they only made up that noise to hide the fact that they speak human languages. a dog barking and running on all fours is a facade. animals naturally walk on their hind legs and made up whole postures just to appear non sentient.
and for what? what do they gain from this? they have no rights and no voice by their own choice. at one point a donkey claims the farmer is a good person because heâs vegan and a pig mentions bacon - this is not a fantasy universe devoid of death and misery and meat. do animals, in hushed whispers, remind their children not to sob in their real voice as theyâre taken away? do the dogs not beg for kindness when theyâre tied up and hit? do cows and chickens not cry for their life in the slaughterhouses? does a rat not scream a human scream when the trap misses their neck and only breaks their spine? Why? what is the point? They loose so much and have everything to gain.
anyways does everyone remember this really awful cat. it only appears in one scene but i can just sense the porn of it that would pop up if i googled itâs name
This post is like being tied to a chair as a a joker-style villain monologues and presses a gun closer and closer to my head as he reaches the climax of his rehearsed piece on the flaws of society and when he finally pulls the trigger itâs a little flag that says âbang!â
I don't think reading fanfiction is the "same" as reading traditional literature, but the discourse is framing fanfiction as being this inherently trashy medium devaluing the sanctity of literature, so I'm not surprised that fanfic writers/readers are getting defensive about it.
it's not just that fanfiction is generally seen as inherently lesser quality than actual literature, but actively harmful to you on a physical, intellectual and moral level. in the sense that the "point" of reading literature is to not only improve your reading/writing, but to develop your critical thinking skills so you can be a fully developed human being, and that reading fan-fiction is basically the same as shooting up black tar heroin. or well eating "junk food" which is a less extreme but still a fairly loaded comparison, so it make sense to me that fanfic readers are overcompensating a little bit.

The cat tries to use telepathy to cheat on the test, but the duck didnt study either.
my genuine opinion on the "is fanfiction real literature" debate entire hinges on which side is being more annoying at the moment.
on one hand i have encountered people who think fanfiction writers are single handedly saving art , and think criticizing fanfiction is anti-queer or whatever" and those people are extremely annoying, on the other hand i have also encountered people who think fanfiction is degenerate slop with 0 artistic value that's rotting your brain" and those people are extremely annoying too, so i guess the only person i can trust is myself who has never made a pretentious post on the internet in my entire human life.
