Nobody's take here is "all art is good" it's that making good art should not be a prerequisite to your work being allowed to exist in the public sphere. If "only if it's good" is the standard we're operating from the say goodbye to all minority art because the majority will never call it good.

the thrill they get for feeling like the morally superior freaks prevents any self-reflection

we're witnessing the average gamer getting more and more comfortable labeling things "degenerate art", and these people think every game that got delisted from steam and itch was exactly that

i've heard they also named a bird after it

character designs in dead dead demons actually go crazy

she looks so cool. rly like her eye

i'm hesistant to call them inherently fascistic (maybe afraid of grappling w the reality of it) but they exhibit deeply reactionary and individualistic views while being queer, furries, nsfw artists, etc because they'll see something that's "too far" and at that point take the side OF fascists

and lotta leftists are quick to get behind moral panics over harmless fiction w/o ever interacting with the source material

progressives w unchecked puritanical beliefs are so frustrating and ultimately untrustworthy because as long as fascists coat their rhetoric with a "woke" facade they will 100% get behind it. and this is just annoying when it comes to art but devastating when it seeps into social policies

hope they adapt fire punch because it would be really funny

1. because Steam allows child-like characters in obvious sexual situations in other games
2. because the depersonalization is suppossed to make u uncomfortable, regardless of the characters' ages
3. because it's not fucking real. not a real child being harmed or put in any situations whatsoever

"they work on a one-strike policy!!" and don't u think that's fucking stupid

i feel like "it isn't like Super" transcends the series too because that's the biggest criticism i've seen of Hollow Knight, that it wasn't structured like Super Metroid. and i mean i don't think it's trying to be so what are we doing here

it's even more stupid. They're using watching porn as a moral flaw but there's no evidence that he even watched a specific video however many years ago. some twitter guy just made it up based on an outfit. all in the service of disproving fuji as a "feminist" mangaka, something no one has ever said

u would do numbers in a niche reddit community of about 100 members lowkey

it's made me think of the absurdity that, somehow, there's a point in the creative process where a character becomes a fully fledged child, worthy of being protected from "exploitation" and thus turning the author into the perpetrator for a depiction whose age they arbitrarily decided
