don't even, miss Alice.
the worse thing is that some companies believe they speak for the majority and adjust accordingly, creating shows, game, products, etc that nobody wants.
then a new generation and tourists come in, think that's how things have always been, or that it's the popular thing, and slowly subvert the hobby.
these clout goblins are poisoning your hobbies, they should be ridiculed relentlessly.
corpos think they represent their audience, so they start catering towards them and hollowing their products.
just skip to 3:20.
these slimes are enemies of fiction and creativity.
I know this podcast The Yard cause they're buddies with Trash Taste and when they came to Japan to hang out with them, Trash Taste showed them some neat things
it doesn't just affect corporations, it affects all levels.
just look at how many creators have to censor or modify their products just to be able to put them up on a platform and not get banned.
it's a stranglehold on creativity and these slimes justify it.
the faster they're stomped out, the better it'll be for everyone.
@HikaruOnFire sadly it don't work that way, because corpos think they represent their audience.
look at what happened when Blue Archive tried to setup a collab with them.
fans didn't ignore them, instead they massively pushed back. and eventually they collab was cancelled.
@AruruRosario yea, the recent attack on fiction is exhausting, especially now that it's being pushed more and more by these skinwalkers.
they always seek to change existing things instead of creating their own.
people genuinely willingly sit through this shit huh. just the most insufferable bunch of repressed losers acting like voices of authority on a medium they clearly despise. we need to start bullying these pieces of shit way harder.
@KenAshcorp yea, 100% agree.
I don't care if short people exist, if natural green-haired people exist or if elves exist; we shouldn't be scrambling to justify anything past it being a drawing of fictional characters.
