  • Not everybody on the right is a narcissist, and it helps nobody to flatten the personhood of millions of people in that way if the actual goal is positive change. It implies that there is no way to communicate or come to an understanding with any of them, which is just not how the world works and only undermines and ignores the potential many of them have to learn better. It takes types more patient than myself to reach them, but I’ve seen firsthand that it is entirely possible to change minds on these things. If Bernie Sanders was able to get fox news viewers to cheer for socialist ideas, then they (or at least some of them) are not so lost as to never be found.

    I agree that many of them will not reconsider their siding until trouble kicks down their own doors, but I don’t think giving up on people who have been fooled is actually a path toward true betterment.


  • That does sound really cool tbh. I bet they got started by making minor alterations to other people’s work, too. And I really do hear you and, on some levels, really agree. I just also see it as we all start where we start and that can’t be helped. Like, those first few steps need to be pretty small for the average person, and most of everyone models themselves after someone else in some way or other. I just dont think of it as an fu until the money comes in, is what I’m saying ig. It’s definitely a deeper shade of grey past that point tho.

    If you ever find that fortnite vid or one of some magically talented sweepist (lol), please do drop a link!


  • Chainsaw Man’s mc is named Denji. He grew up excruciatingly poor, and so, at the beginning of the story, his dreams were very humble things like eating toast with decent toppings and hugging a girl at least once before he died. He dreams bigger and bigger as things go on, but it always stays comically simple because he’s a simple kind of guy.

    manga spoilers ahead

    His current stated dream is to have sex and the one person that wants to do it with him might have just lost control of her body as the devil within her reattained her full power. But his real dream (he is just too foolish to realize it) is to have a chosen family, which he has also been intentionally boxed out of a few times over now. So tragic. Much sad. ;(



  • I am of the opinion that once a piece of art is shared with the world, it stops belonging solely to the creator and instead becomes the property of the community. I also know how hard it can be to just barely scrape by, so I don’t personally have a problem with people making low effort money in this way. It is a bit scummy to piggyback on people doing actual skilled work, but at the same time, so is much of the world in far more direct and brutal ways.

    Other than that; agreed. It feels like one of a few next logical steps for that sort of og YouTube fandom energy. If it inspires joy and isn’t hurting people, I say let em at it


  • Second verse slapped harder than expected.

    And on the topic of nightcore being art or not; who cares? Art doesn’t have to be this totally involved thing for every person’s every project. Making minor alterations to other people’s work is its own style and form of creative exploration and, if encouraged and engaged with sufficiently, can easily grow into something with more luster and prestige. And besides that, some songs do just be sounding better when played faster and higher than intended. Artists or not, good on em for playing around and finding the ones work.
