    YOU HAVE DAMAGED THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY :wojak-nooo: :soypoint-1:

    Reminder that entertainment doesn't even serve any physiological function and is thus the ultimate form of treat

      Entertainment is essential to humanity, emotional regulation needs some sort of outlet or source of happiness which is steady and not short in supply.

          Yeah, everyone should live garbo joyless lives. That's what Marx was saying. Burn your books, toss your chocolate in the ocean, and drink naught but water, ear naught but bread all the days of your life, ye blessed workers.

          If the people didn't need treats, then treats wouldn't have been invented. The fact treats exist suggested that they fulfill a societal function. Treats predate class society and will most likely postdate class society as well.

      :bait:

      It's muddy waters, but treats aren't inherently bad. I have treats, you probably have treats. We all eat from the trash can. :zizek-preference:

      The tendency for more alienated and aggressive fans to overreact against their specific treats being criticized, however, was part of the dry kindling that fueled the G*merGate circus fire that is still smoldering. :zizek-fuck:

        yes but the point is the magnitude of their offense about tiny details in one specific completely unnecessary thing being changed

        they're not alienated at all (anymore than everyone else at least), they're just aggressive subhumans
