Wanna know what would be a really messed up thing for Alan and his team to do?
SPOILERS FOR ANIMATOR VS ANIMATION 11 UNDER THE CUT ↓
Do those videos they make between every episode of AvA à la AvM but it's videos set before Mitsi's death showing the things Vic and Mitsi did to make Rocket Corp and the rest of the world. Just to break us down even more when we see them having a wholesome time knowing the inevitable.
one thing that some defenders bring up to me "like you support minecraft and notch is even bigger dipshit than scott" while yes notch is like a Q anon weirdo at least he doesnt get any money from minecraft stuff and hasnt since 2014. JK Rowling and Scott Cawthon get money directly for all things involving their IP
EXACTLY LMFAOO thats such a weak comparison for the exact reasons you said. i do believe fnaf can (and should) become a similar situation, scott certainly is fucking rich enough to retire he just cant help but dig himself deeper holes for his reputation. and then whine about it when he receives the smallest of social consequences.
Maybe not all of his friends but a good chunk definitely. Also We*digoon is friends with Turkey Tom, that should be enough for anyone to disavow him.
I understand that IPOS' video isn't the best when it comes to being accurate but that doesn't change the fact that We*digoon is comfortable being friends with nazis, transphobes, and racists.
Unless We*digoon makes a video shitting on all of his bigot friends, then he's a bigot in my eyes. Doesn't matter if he's "nice" while sitting back as his friends openly desire killing queer people.
Best-case scenario: He is standing back as his friends joke about killing trans people.
Worst-case scenario: He's a slimy fuck who supports their ideals but hides it under his YT persona.
Sorry I thought your post was claiming that Netflix designed Cosmo ✌️

tw// mentioned sexual assault+underage drinking
Fuck georgenotfound. Fuck George Davidson.
Silence is not consent, never fucking has been. Regardless of her age, regardless of whether she was drunk or not, he should have asked.
I don't know what the fuck he was thinking, but Caiti barely looks over 18. He should have asked her age, should have asked for consent, and shouldn't have supplied a minor with alcohol.
Women everywhere have always had it drilled into their brains 'if you're uncomfortable, laugh it off and stay polite otherwise it's more dangerous'. With someone with a platform and the influence such as his, he should have been aware of stuff like that, and been mindful that his following and influence would be potentially intimidating to a younger and smaller creator, especially one that idolises him, and that it may hold a factor in their ability to make reasonable decisions. Even if Caiti had consented, it was his responsibility to ensure that she wasn't consenting out of fear or peer pressure. If he saw her friends were pushing her to do something, he should have stepped in as the responsible adult in the room.
A firm reminder that George is, and was, an adult. He was a 27 year old man at the time. This was not a stupid mistake made by a teenager or young adult who doesn't fully understand the boundaries of consent. It was a fully grown and matured adult man, taking advantage of a drunk minor.
Even if he had been Caiti's age, or not understood, Caiti still 100% deserved a full whole hearted apology, and not once did he actually apologize to her. He hasn't made a little mistake, he's ruined a life.
He isn't cancelled, he's committed a fucking crime. He deserves to be in prison, not on a trending page on twitter.
I recommend not visiting the 'The Electric State' tag then, so many people who didn't read the book insist that you must like it or else you hate fun or smth
why the did my parents reccomend The Electric State
there's a special kind of evil in using marginalized identities as a shield to protect abusive men. Being mentally ill does not give you a right to be a bad person. Anyone defending Wilbur on the side of "uwu stop being ableist" can go fuck themselves.
I wouldn't recommend going to the "official" Discord server. The place is run by egotistical admins and RT doesn't look at what's happening in there to notice the admins' fuckery.
IS THERE AN RTGAMEBLR DISCORD SERVER. IS THERE A FAN SERVER I CAN JOIN. IM ONLY A BIT OF A FREAK PLEASE LET ME INTO YOUR HOME
Now imagine how us fans of the book feel :'(
The Electric State: Review
Anything but electric
The Russo Brothers have made a career out of injecting rare smarts and soul into big studio films. While perhaps best known for master-minding the high point of the MCU in Infinity War, they also produced the weird and wonderful Everything Everywhere All at Once. That means that their latest film, based on Simon Stålenhag’s graphic novel, arrives with a fair bit of expectation.
For the most part, The Electric State fails to meet them. Set in a technologically dependant version of 1990s America, we open with a rushed news montage that breezes through a multitude of key information in about 5 minutes. After a war that pit humans against their friendly robot aides, a fragile peace treaty has separated the illegal ‘bots’ into an ‘X’ zone behind a massive wall (If that feels like an on-the-nose reference to current political events, just wait till you’ve seen the rest of the film).
At the heart of this story is Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown), a teenage orphan whose brother (Woody Harmon) died in mysterious circumstances. But when a robot based on their favourite cartoon - Kid Cosmo - appears to share his living consciousness, Michelle joins him on a quest to find answers.
On the surface, this journey has all the elements of an engaging sci-fi adventure. As Michelle joins her new companion to the robot-infested desert, there’s plenty of WALL.E level cuteness at play (the leader of the robots is a stately Peanut voiced by Woody Harrelson). There’s also a thoughtful plot about our attachment to technology, and an emotional story of brother-sister reconciliation to tie it all in together. Stanley Tucci even stars as a soft-spoken tech billionaire with questionable intentions - think Elon Musk but more (italics) evil.
In reality, it doesn’t quite come together. For a film about a shady conspiracy, what stands out most is the lack of surprises. Everything in this film feels obvious and over-polished, from the predictable one liners - ‘not in my house!’, quips a robot sidekick - to the rather staid action sequences. Fittingly for a film about sentient robots, it feels like the script - adapted by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely -has been engineered by AI.
This also comes down to the casting. Chris Pratt, while occasionally funny as a loveable rogue that Michelle meets on her journey, is essentially just playing another version of Starlord - complete with a small, fast-talking sidekick. Giancarlo Esposito plays another ruthless villain, this time a robot hunter nicknamed ‘The Butcher’, who gets a laughably formulaic story arc in the final act. Ke Huy Quan makes a charming cameo as a doctor but essentially exists to spout exposition. And while Bobby Brown does get some emotional flash back scenes with her brother, she’s underserved by an otherwise bland teenage rebel role.
It’s a shame, because there are some good ideas here. The Russo Brothers have crafted a beautifully realised world, and there’s some striking character design amid the human on robot carnage. However, it all ends up feeling a bit derivative, with ideas that were seen before in Ready Player One, and recently The Creator. Unlike those films, this does little to inspire the imagination.
Despite a star-studded cast and the best of intentions, this robotic sci-fi adventure ends up on the scrap heap of sci-fi cinema.
★★
