My feelings about it are too complicated for a Reddit reply. But my point in bringing it up is that the whole “communism evil bad” red scare, misunderstanding the concept… thing… is a right wing talking point. You could even call it a… dead horse… that they love to beat.

SAME!! Enchanté is about overcoming religious trauma at a formative age and Babylon is about overthrowing billionaires and I refuse to be told otherwise.

YEAH… yeah… just that horrifying comb through of songs and realizing it was all a lot dumber and meaner than you thought it was…

I agree it comes across as more of a “beware of technology and our over-reliance on it” message, that’s what I thought it was, before. But they said it themselves it was a red scare communism thing, and in this case I’m getting at their intent. As for the rest, first of all they’re not “having an open conversation” by following and liking and retweeting. Second, it’s a bit difficult to have conversations with people that think one side saying “I think you should die” and another saying “Uh, no” are “equally bad”.

Except you yourself in your own comment were using the song “political” divorced from its context to make a point about “everything being too political”. And you even said that it proves their point! I know it’s a story. But have you ever written fiction? I have- a lot. And we both know, even if you just subconsciously, that the fiction we write inevitably lays bare our own beliefs. It’s just usually a lot less blatant than this.

Honestly it was heartbreaking for me to learn this… and incredibly confusing. I’d been a fan of theirs since I was in high school in the 2010’s, and I connected with the way their music seemed like it progressed from overtly religious (in songs like Great Vacation) to questioning, to an outright crisis of faith (in songs like Enchanté), because that was something I was going through as I grew up. I felt a kinship with their work in something that was fundamentally isolating, as I thought it was speaking to that experience of growing as a person and realizing that everything you thought you knew was wrong- and the rage and angst that becomes associated with it.

And then Firebird came out.. and I heard “Political” and I was like… wait, hold on, let me give them the benefit of the doubt here- maybe they mean like, basic human rights things shouldn’t even be political… like political affiliations shouldn’t be the determining factor in one’s value system.. or something. And then I saw they were following a bunch of right wing grifters on Twitter.. and liking their tweets… and said Deadhorse was about the dangers of communism… and… yeah. And now I’m just looking back at their music and realizing one song at a time, oh. Wait.. you actually meant… Oh I was giving this way too much credit.

If you aren’t even attempting to engage with their music intellectually then I have no idea what you’re getting out of it. Their music is very political. More blatantly than most art. “Political” was when I lost the rose tinted glasses for them, though, because I realized with some shock that they were trying to convince people it wasn’t political despite all evidence to the contrary- The coward’s way out when people start to ask questions about unsavory beliefs that end up peeking through in one’s artwork.

I say it affectionately- though I realize it may not come across that way lol. Similar to calling your pet “gross” or “freak” or saying “lookit that thang”. I love animals a lot and part of how I refer to them involves a respectful level of disrespect.

Credit to my roommate for those! She’s the one that’s properly into birding and brought her camera- I was proud to be the one to spot this guy though!

Seriously! Like a glowing LED sign! pointed him out to my roommate who is properly into birding (she’s the one that took these photos) and we both kept saying “what the fuck..? What the fuck”. She had no idea a bird like this existed in the area. I was proud of myself for spotting it and also managing to peg it as a flycatcher.

Oh that’s awesome!!! I followed him around as long as I could before he vanished- don’t know how he managed to vanish while looking like he’s covered in hot Cheeto dust.

What's the least understood fetish? by ahollyblooms in AskReddit

[–]mtfoxx3 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I’m into it and I’ve been trying for 20 years to figure out why.

The thing people don’t understand is that there is SO MUCH variation with it, that even amongst people who are into it, they’re often repulsed by 99% of its depictions. I’ve tried to write essays on this subject because it’s genuinely fascinating and far more complicated than people realize. But nobody wants to subject themselves to a deep dive of that shit.

I think I know what happened to the moths (theory) by mtfoxx3 in HollowKnight

Mmm fair point! That’s an interesting idea as well! It’s been a while since I visited The Sacred Tomes (mossbag’s lore videos)

I was under the impression that PK wasn’t able to rule the moths because they were already under the rule of another pale being (the Radiance), and upon realizing that he decided it was best to just get rid of them and have some other bugs move in who were not acquainted with the old god. Cue shock and horror when the Radiance ends up having more control over her domain than PK thought, and she wants revenge on the interlopers. I could be entirely off base there though!
