I don't think they eat it up for more than the novelty. Yeah, some people will continue to uncritically consume slop, but they'll move on to the next trend and it's not the same as people finding a cult classic.

I think if we keep the conversations about art centered on the humanity within, we can prevent this normalization. We need to break away from brands and IPs and instead look at the artists involved. The writers, character designers, animators, etc. Because that's what people come for even if they don't know the creators by name.

I'm never sure if it's stress, covid, or the stress that people don't care about covid that keeps me up at night.

All that said, I'm sorry you're going through it too.

That was Colbert

At least Kirk's child loves him.

I had to look this up and Jesus Christ.

Thank you comrade

Thank you for that hilariously grotesque mental image.

Does somebody have that Upside down Elon pic from when he did the X jump?

It doesn't even hurt anymore.

Is this related to covid?

I think he can speak, it's just that sound travels so slowly that he's moved somewhere else by the time you hear him.

Dems have such low standards that this is enough to welcome Barron to the #Resistance

Glad to be able to identify another fashy symbol

One of the many reasons I couldn't get into JoJo beyond reading about the stands on the fanwiki.

A Bleach spinoff where they introduce the shinigami squad who handles pets.

What's the nuclear equivalent of a lithium battery fire again...?
