feeling weirdly this morning about how studio ghibli's house style is deployed as some sort of weird aesthetic dogwhistle. like if you call something ghibli aesthetic it is somehow distinct from anime generally. and how so often it is deployed as approachable varnish for kitschy braindead horseshit?

Remember when you couldn't figure out how to do the Space Jump out of Draygon's room, and had to get a friend to show you how to get to Norfair? It was me, Barry—I traveled back in time and made the controls super finnicky so you'd complain and get a funny guy in your ear telling Samus how to jump!
