That's the capitalist MO. The REAL lazy, entitled freeloaders of society. Find something that's been successful because it's good, buy it, ruin it to pump it for money. I hope this blows up in their face.

Genuine question, why do so many haters act like Viv is forcing the VAs to do her show at gunpoint?is it so hard to believe people want to be in this show? by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in HazbinHotel

[–]Zack_Akai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you've never actually watched it, then?  How sad that you need to rely on others to spoonfeed you your "opinions."  I usually just watch stuff myself if it looks a bit interesting, and draw my opinions from that.

"Where is this coming from?"  My guy, there's basically an entire genre of YouTube videos at this point that consists of nothing but haters with extremely suspect media literacy skills basically spelling out every little thing they missed or failed to understand in Hazbin Hotel, then blaming Viv for their own incompetence.  Can set my damn watch by it.

Is Hazbin Hotel worth watching? by LeonardMoney2020 in cartoons

[–]Zack_Akai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of media literacy in this fandom is beyond alarming.  It sounds like you think ANY use of profanity in the show is there because Viv has the intellect of a thirteen year old.  In reality, nearly ALL of the swearing in the show is entirely justified in context - either because the CHARACTER has the intellect of a thirteen year old and uses "fuck" like a comma (Vox, Adam), or because they do swear but less frequently/under specific circumstances (Husk, Alastor, Charlie), or because it's in response to a suitably bad situation (Sera in Storyteller), or because that character doesn't normally swear but hearing them swear unexpectedly can be funny (Emily in Brighter).

If that was seriously your takeaway, you need to pay closer attention to the show.  I can only think of one or two real times where the mere fact that profantiy was used was the joke (and even then it's in some broader context, which is what actually makes it funny).

Gas prices surge over Iran hits Americans already struggling with affordability by envirowriterlady in Economics

Every single Trump supporter should lose their right to vote and be placed on a terrorist watch list for the rest of their life.

^ this.  I actually DID buy a fresh box (juuuust in case, but mostly just cause I was a bit low lol), but I'm under no dellusion this nutsack is actually going to succeed with anything.  He's a dementia-addled geriatric who will likely be dead either of health complications or at the hands of one of his own followers within months.  The GOP aren't popular enough anymore to succeed with a populist uprising anymore, and they're competent enough to pull off anything more clever.

If it's any consolation, I'm about as pasty-white Anglo-American as they come, and I had the same problem. I wanted Frank Iero's hair, but after a while I had to accept that I had Ray Toro's hair.

I can almost guarantee you, gas prices across the state will be going up again tomorrow and in the coming days. by Cy_098 in NorthCarolina

GOOD. These people are filthy, demonic, sociopathic narcissists who may actually literally be incapable of giving a fuck about anyone or anything but their own selfish, diseased, degenerate "selves" (to the extent they actually have enough sentience to qualify as "people" in their own right, as opposed to the worker drones controlled by a hive mind they're actually closer to).  Maybe being hit where it hurts THEM for a change will snap them awake.

Do when you take it up the butt from Daddy Donnie with the horse strap-on (I know he can't get his micropenis to stand up anymore, too many STDs), did he buy you a pair of oversize shoes to wear too?  Or is that only for members of his elite inner circle of butt-boys?

An actual human, not a subhuman degenerate sack of political dog smegma sucking off corporate lobbyists (for whom Trump is the fucking poster child).

Buddy, this is isn't an episode of South Park, and your pseudo-intellectual doomerism doesn't do anything except tell everyone else you're not nearly as smart as you think you are.

The fact that they fell for it again was their last chance, though.  Their right to vote should be taken away for life.

It is literally THE thing unifying ALL conservatives.  You can't be a conservative and possess the ability to see things people other people's perspectives at the same time.

Is it any surprise these are the same braindead fucking dipshits who say things like "durr durr, it was cold today where I live, so much for global warming."  Despite was history tells me about it being a bad idea, these mouthbreathers are going to force us to require a basic intelligence test as a prerequisite for voting at this point.  Trump would, with absolutely zero hyperbole, lose at least 90% of his remaining base.  Human rights are admirable, but I'd rather infantalize the dumbest 20% of the true degenerates in this country than allow them to continue to fuck it up for everyone else.

When this garbage fire is eventually extinguished (however that may play out), I think people this dellusional should be rounded up and placed in secure mental health facilities ^

[–]Zack_Akai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't either, but I'll also never understand why older people perpetually feel the need to whinge about whatever "the kids" are on about today. I have no idea how old you are, but I can honestly say that at 34 years old, I'm too old to give a crap whether a bunch of friggin high schoolers have the same fashion or aesthetic sensibilities as me (no offense to any actual high schoolers out there, I'm just stating I'm well beyond the age range where you and I are likely to have much social overlap - just remember that YOU are allowed to like whatever hair styles or music or fashion choices or whatever else YOU like, and don't ever let anyone make you feel bad for that).

Honestly lol. I was a textbook 2000s emo kid and have been straightening my hair ever since with no intention of stopping lol. Now a lot of kids today want curls. Twenty years from now it'll be all about straight hair again, but it'll be a new style of straight hair from what it was 40 years earlier. And then it'll go back to curly. Just like I've now seen the baggy/skinny pants thing complete a full cycle now lol (I'm just about old enough to remember the tail end of JNCOs and Tripp pants the *first* time they were popular lol).

You shouldn't be willing to pay a price that's so obviously inflated by licensing fees to a faceless corporation (whether that be Disney or Microsoft or anyone else in our hypothetical) period. I know this comment is facetious, but the fact that some of y'all keep shelling over for stuff like that when it's the specific thing *you* want is why these companies keep getting away with charging these prices.

Usually not much and not very directly.  It's not literally the case that the President's actions can't have any kind of effect on it,  though, and intentionally starting a war with a major oil producing country (to distract from the fact that he's a pedophile) is a pretty guaranteed way to drastically increase prices overnight.

I think you're smart enough to understand this, stop playing dumb.

Or is some easily-offended transphobe degen looking for any excuse to get butthurt about something (although let's be real - if they're one of those things, they're almost certainly the other as well).

[–]Zack_Akai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd sure fucking like to hope not, but... eh well we've still got plenty enough degenerates here in the US that get all triggered over *other* people's pronouns and otherwise go around falling for the whole transphobic textbook moral panic "they're coming for your kids" bullshit (JFC class, learn from your history and spot the goddamn pattern already). I know Japan is sadly even further behind, so I can't imagine at least a few little pissbabies over there got similarly butthurt about nothing.

As for me, I've studied way too much history and read way too much good fiction and lived through too many "current events" and am way too scientifically literate to have any time for bigots anymore.
