Real talk for a moment but I really Do Not Like almost all of the larger Project Moon content creators for one reason or another--especially those that have overlap in my field of analysis
I understand to a certain degree that I can't really blame them when they're not intentionally doing any of these things wrong (or at least I fucking hope so?) or misrepresenting things but like
One of the largest PM content creators, *THE* analysis and informative youtuber as far as most of the community seems concerned, posts a video that gets 90 THOUSAND views about Ryoshuu with a significant portion (~1/3 runtime) focused on Hell Screen and the other two sources, One which does not, at any point in its 62 minute runtime, make mention of the fact that the book is framed with an unreliable narration.
What would you do as a creator if you had it brought to light that the entire novel was framed with an unreliable narration, after making a video taking the text at face value? Why of course, keep said video up, without a pinned comment or amendment to the Hell Screen section, instead making a community post, which got a stagger+++ing 1 thousand likes, which noted that they did not realise before told that the narration had subtext. While I do know writers who use subtext, and they are all cowards, those cowards names are Project Fucking Moon.
I cannot describe how this makes me feel. This is graceless, irresponsible even.
I could care less about the pitfall of many an analysis where at times it is simply recounting events and stating them without much meat, lord knows older works of mine were the same, and it's a widespread enough issue that I can't muster to try combat it.
Its not wrath I feel, at least not traditional anger. Resentment perhaps? I can't and don't need to know, just disappointment.
Oh also they have a video that I can't bear to bring myself to suffer through because the title alone is enough to be abjectly wrong, calling Carmen Lobotomy Corporation "ANTICHRIST" (in all caps).
I have thoughts on the title, and on some other Project Moon content creators of notoriety, but I will hold my tongue especially on the Carmen video considering I haven't suffered it, and do not plan to unless I lose a bet or something.
Just. Fucking "ANTICHRIST"? Really thats how you see the most interesting and pivotal character in the PM universe?
This isn't to hate on them, nor is this a callout post (hence why I avoid invoking names), just a vent more than anything.
