Unironically phenomenal insight into (some) online leftists to channel all of your praxis into finding politically charged justifications for mild dislike of fictional characters/messages in children’s shows only to accidentally hand-wave the imperialism sitting right next to you

“Hard copy of Dane bruglers the beast ducktaped across my chest. Intern fires a .38 at me from 10 Meters away. Which ever page the bullet stops at…that’s the guy.
That’s my fuckin process.”
*bewildered Chipotle worker*: black or pinto beans?
As with most other problems right now, a lot of people think they have some divine right to jobs that sound fun with absolutely zero interest in becoming someone worthy of that title, and we keep moving farther and farther in the direction of placating them
“Do you think writers should read?” is a pretty perfect Rorschach test for who respects stories as a craft and a profound form of creation and who sees it as a fake job without a boss or a schedule
It’s funny how we are constantly having the “should writers have to read?” discourse, when the question should be “why are you even writing stories if you don’t like them?”What made you want to create something you’ve never enjoyed?
This is a direct byproduct of fan service culture by the way. We have a shit ton of people in these spaces who don’t know how to not get Exactly What They Want
Fandom culture allowing people to celebrate the smallest aspcts of media they love wholeheartedly is fantastic but social media echo chambers have gotten so effective that people can’t tell the difference between canon and fanon anymore and it’s A Problem
Gooseworx got harassed because TADC fans have poor media literacy and berated her for stating that Pomni and Jax were the main characters of her OWN SHOW??
Yeah no I can see why they want to abandon this franchise as soon as it’s over.
“They’re neglecting Ragatha” Ragatha is a made-up concept that Gooseworx conjured up specifically to serve a certain purpose in an intentional narrative, stop talking about characters like they are actual human beings for the love of fucking god
Also nine times out of ten, being aware of what fans want makes the product worse! In a decade, all that will remain is the final product, land the plane correctly and you’ll get to hear about how amazing it is for the rest of your life but get on the ground first!
Honestly my biggest takeaway from the last year and a half of consuming fiction is that, if I ever get off my ass and start writing properly and something I’m working on gets popular, I’m deleting social media and throwing my phone into the ocean
Creators who can handle being in the weeds with their fans and interact with them are remarkably endearing and I appreciate their presences greatly, but the only way to not have people hunting you down with pitchforks and torches is to make something boring and both options 👎
it’s all about support indie animation until the story/characters doesn’t go the way you wanted it to be. creators should not be apologizing for how they want to tell their stories
