Exactly. Like movies about japanese Yankees aka juvenile gangs or what we can call "gopnik type" are entertaining, but they're made by japanese authors, not by western people for whom it's just "fun aesthetics".

As someone who had unfortune to be born in one of ex soviet republics I always find romanization of "Slavic charm" disturbing.
Also that fucking show revived "Western BL is true realistic representation and Asian BL is just fetishization made by pervy women".
I'm so tired of this shit.

I feel the same about CSP. It's brushes feel somehow.. clunky an couner-intuitive, I guess. Probably it's just lack of knowledge and understanding. But Procreate feels so much easier and has so many cool brushes that feel very satisfying to use while not requiring that much mental recourses.

I call it "feeling of fading light". But I slip into this state regularly. As far as I know it's one of the symptoms of chronic depression. But with how everything goes... Is it really depression if there's objective reasons to feel like shit? 🤷‍♂️

And I've been wondering why xitter feels more quiet with all this "your fave is problematic" nonsense. That crowd just moved here. 😒

Oh.. better don’t rewatch it. Movie aged like milk. Dundee is a definition of a “toxic masculinity”, sexist and first movie has horrible transphobic scenes in it. And main American girl jokingly complains that her ex is probably “marching for gay na*is now”. In the 80s. In times of AIDS crisis.

I also direct this at people say this is okay, "Because bottoms don't have to be subs." That's true, but also I don't care if you think a bottom is the most submissive person ever. The real problem is people thinking it's a 'woman's role' to be penetrated and submissive, unpack that mindset first.

Yes, I respect that. As far as I know there are many interesting texts and social messages in hip-hop and rap music. I really appreciate it as a form of art and trying to educate myself to understand it better.
But sometimes it feels my neurodivergent brain wired for one specific era of music 😅

Yeah purity culture sucks but sadly good for disgusting "drama farming" 😕
Hmmm... Not gonna lie, I don't remember him saying anything against NSFW, but his vids are LONG so I may not remember correctly.
What I know he's a trans ally and recommended channel of Kat Blaque who is into BDSM and kink.

I know I've watched video essays about that 😆
Yes. I just wanted to say that nobody can't escape music even I with my "retro" taste.

(+ if you like bread-tubers I can recommend channel of F.D Signifier. Based dude. Makes great videos about black media.)

It has nothing to do with messages in music or it cultural importance. It's just a matter of preferences. I'm more prog-rock, post-punk 70s, 80s music guy 🤷‍♂️

Oh, yeah! I totally agree on that.
Have you ever watched videos by Lindsay Ellis on that cursed Hobbit movies production and how it's basically fucked up New Zealand movie industry? Horrifying stuff.

I think music is sneakier in a way. It's not in your face but you go out shopping and there is a recent most hyped song playing in a mall. Also you just can't escape popular songs if you ever watch short form content. Like I don't listen to hip hop but I know how that viral Kendrick song sound 😅

Sadly it's not only Hollywood. Same goes for music and game industry and other entertainments. Streamers, VAs, other influencers turn out to be huge pervs etc.
I feel like if you think about it too hard you'll go insane.
Modern people desperately need to unlearn parasociality altogether.

Some of them horrible some more or less fine. It’s a multibillion industry. Would be weird if it was not full of assholes.
I just prefer to watch movies without going into deep on what kind of people those actors and directors are in person. I don’t give them money most of the time anyway 🏴‍☠️

Or you can do thriller. Where Victor tells his story about a monster BUT than we found out that Creature never existed and Victor himself killed his brother 'cause he needed inheritance money to continue his crazy experiments. And a guy who is hunting him is just some victim's relative.

Or if you allow queer director in a chair do "repressed homosexuality" version or even "Creature is a metaphor for a trans experience". Essays where written about all this.
Also this book screams for "Rashomon" style where you have different versions of a same events from different POVs. =>

Nah, that's totally legit. A lot of artists consider this type of behavior disrespectful actually.
I personally don't care that much but be saying to myself "Why? Can't you read my tags?"
Also some people (rarely thankfully) do this on pulpous if there's a ship war in fandom 😅

Recently found out that both parts of Frankenstein miniseries from 2004 is on youtube free to watch for everyone!
