the top minds of the world must come together and work tirelessly to figure out if communism can be built via subreddit

rookie mistake

to be clear i don't think any of this was nefariously intended, i just think it's a result of the extreme cultural blindness on the writers' part. my wife summarized it best by saying "ponyville is a suburb"

just got done watching an episode where the main villain was an obviously gay-coded manager for a pop star who was snobbish and demanding and abusive, and it made me think how much a song like "love is in bloom" could rly pass for a CCM pro-DOMA anthem

as much as i very deeply love the characters and fanlore of MLP: Friendship is Magic, the actual show has soooooo much american protestant brainrot

Hey y'all, this interview is a really important look at what trans protesters are facing, especially when the cops haul them off to jail on allegations like...writing "trans rights are human rights" in chalk.

it's so real. i'm from montana and one of the local legends of my city was a drunken, short-tempered, extremely devout irish catholic woman who owned every brothel in town and tried to kill her rivals with dynamite.

the sheer settler decadence of the intermountain west is actually cartoonish lmao.

yea lyn and i were just talking abt this recently too with regard to TTYD's writing and how recent nintendo stuff has been that much more afraid to create any kind of friction w/ the player, even when it'd be enriching to do so

someone finally did it. a game about rote bureaucracy and policing that is much more dystopian than papers please

YKK, mushishi, natsume yuujinchou, silver spoon, etc. all of these things are "cozy" but none of them forego tension or pathos or negative feelings.

the uniquely sanitized "frog simulator" type stuff is not in conversation with these works. it overlaps far more with corporate memphis aesthetics.

there seems to be an assumption that SOL and iyashikei stuff entails a foregoing of any conflict or emotional tension whatsoever, when really it's just a reframing of tension on a microcosmic level. the level of interpersonality and the minutia of life instead of pure world-ending stakes.

the thing about "cozy media" is that, contrary to many ppl's assumptions, "cozy" and "conflict-free" are not synonymous
