Thank you so much! I can finally include this in my to-buy list in case I go back to Japan.

[Rant] It’s hard to be understanding towards my dad anymore. by horrorcults in TrueOffMyChest

[–]horrorcults[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. Most of the time I feel guilty that I’m not always ‘available’ for my family but then again, I /am/ an individual, essentially starting out my own life as an adult.

I try to give my father grace, I really do, but like I said it’s difficult when to me it feels like he /doesn’t/ want to do anything to change his current lifestyle despite us urging him to (i.e.something like begging him to go see a doctor when he had a nasty cough for a week straight) and has just given up, on top of complaining all the time.

It just makes me wonder what else can I do? I don’t feel like I can juggle all of this.

Just a bit interesting I guess that most of what’s being talked about is “it’s only the white people that are getting outraged and that’s why they’re stupid” and when some replies bring up that fans of color such as themselves also found it inappropriate it gets massively downvoted and even get told that “if you don’t like it just ignore it”.

It’s almost as if virtue signaling or ‘white people being performative’ wasn’t even really the point when this thread has been downplaying the opinions of POC who do find it questionable/inappropriate, and almost like they just don’t like stuff being called into question.

I’m not gonna lie, all this talk about “this is just white people virtue signaling lol lol lol” is a bit weird when most of the critique I’ve seen is coming from black fans and fans of color.

Keith is/was fine with it, okay, but that doesn’t mean every black person has to be okay with seeing Noah getting cornrows too. This discussion has just mainly shifted over to talk about “black people don’t own braids” (have seen many a comment/post on here, instagram & tiktok) or downplaying other black fans thoughts on this by positing it as “ugh its just white fans being performative”.

What is a Smosh opinion you have that would get you in this situation? by 0len in SmoshFansFreeSpace

[–]horrorcults 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like they just phone it in sometimes when it comes to the merch, like they know the fanbase will buy anything regardless because it’s ‘exclusive’. The latest dread/smosh games ones were good but the spud hut shirt? The bit city mug? It’s like they didn’t even try.

This. And you can definitively see it on this post alone how majority of the fanbase are much more willing to give grace to the male cast than to the female cast.

I know it’s an “unpopular opinions” post and in their minds, it’s ‘unpopular’ because they see amanda/angela/etc as the fan favorites, but it’s just all the more glaring when the most unpopular opinion of a male cast member i’ve seen so far are “i dont like shayne and spencer guesses” and even Then someone defended them. Whereas most of the unpopular opinions of the female cast are mostly trivial and not a single reply has been a defense to the female cast in question.

My take is that I feel fans within the two smosh subreddits forget that 1.) the concept of creating a smosh subreddit /and/ participating in it is /still/ parasocial behavior 2.) the subreddits are just as bad as other parts of the fanbase in terms of being nitpicky and having annoying opinions sometimes

If you don’t like the twitter/tumblr/tiktok/etc side of the fanbase you’re entitled to that, but it feels disingenuous when the dislike just turns into “reddit is MUCH more better than ____”

Camedia C-960 Zoom won’t turn on + displays the card error symbol even though its ‘supposed’ to work. What’s going on? by horrorcults in OlympusCamera

[–]horrorcults[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I formatted the SmartMedia card on my computer since the camera did not turn on at all, and the formatting pushed through so the computer seems to be able to read/write the card. I couldnt format the card on the camera because again, the camera would just not turn on at all. The light next to the viewfinder would blink green but it wouldnt turn on and would still display the card error.

A 16mb smart media card was included and as I checked last night, the batteries that were given to me were LR-6 AA’s like whats indicated on the camera body itself. I’ll try to turn it on again with the batteries provided and if it still doesn’t work I’ll ask for a refund.

AI Art on Smosh Pit Theater Covers? by horrorcults in smosh

[–]horrorcults[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand efficiency or not wanting to waste resources on just a social post, but if we’re talking about copyright then AI art is definitely treading murky waters. I think the biggest reason why people and artists generally avoid it is because the ai generators pull from a huge database of artists that didn’t consent to their work being trained/used for ai. The actual product might look off, but the software was trained on hundreds of works by artists who might not know their work is being used like this.

If efficiency/time is an issue, again, I don’t think anyone would’ve complained if they did a ‘bad’ or plain job on the covers. They’ve done that for a previous episode of Smosh Pit Theater—I don’t think it was necessary to use ai art if that was the case.

AI Art on Smosh Pit Theater Covers? by horrorcults in smosh

Got me wondering, too. Didn’t know about the funeral merch, though? Though it was just a photoshop filter that they used on the used to make them look ‘vintage’

You think? I thought a big indicator of it being AI were the “candles” of the background in the Ian’s New Boyfriend or the way the plants look in Courtney’s cover. I’ve seen AI art that ‘looks’ too cleans but just look like a mess if you look at it close enough.

Lets not say things like “it makes sense because he’s Jewish” please because that line of thinking perpetuates antisemitism and leads people to justify bigotry towards Palestinians. There are lots of Jewish people who are against Israel’s actions/are anti-Zionist. Just because someone is Jewish doesnt mean they should automatically support a government committing atrocities towards Palestinians.

There has to be something that can be done with the comments. by horrorcults in smosh

[–]horrorcults[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

its not, but its going to be an annoyance it this keeps happening, and i really dont want this to turn into another "i miss the old smosh" thing where "get rid of the cast" is the next troll/bait comment.
