Dude thought TVs were literally the machines Jim Carey's Riddler made in Barman Forever. Media isn't a hypno ray and while they did reprogram Alex in clockwork orange by making him watch TV, there was more than just that going on there. Very agreed on the datedness as well, we are living through the consequences of saccharine anti-irony pablum right now and here's something from the current front page to prove it

Nihilistic edgy people don't think these thoughts. And the far right, and I'm talking more online and farther right than punisher logo poster Maga guys (boomers), the imageboard genuine fash are just as bad for it in their own way. Things get shittier and shittier and the art that people have clung to for the last while has been hiding from it, not reflecting it. Everything on TV is written by a millionaire on their third marriage who's in therapy and it shows in the writing or it's a 'heartwarming' 'inspiring' drama disguised as a comedy series. Ted Lasso and The Bear would have been mid as hell Oscar bait films in the past and not marketed as comedy. And I don't think everything needs to be slimy and grimy but everything thst isn't specifically trying to be dark has this pastel veneer that seems so fucking faked to me.
Feel like shit, just want him and his excessive emojis back.
