>>2069287>>2069290Was this removed because of tranny hysteria at the idea that they don't pass, or was it removed because Disney knows that there might be pushback, was it because China doesn't like trannies? My money is on the first reason. So many animators are gendies and they all shit themselves any time there's tranny representation anywhere because their entire identities revolve around suffering, but showing the suffering is tranny violence somehow, and showing them happy is tranny violence erasure, and nobody wins.
It's hilarious that Kai the TIM can only convince himself that he's a girl when handmaidens come to aid his delusions along.
It's set to air in February next year, it's weird that they pulled the tranny storyline out so late. Either the backlash was intense or this is a publicity stunt to make gendie adults watch this show. I hope they don't put the storyline back in, fuck telling kids that they're not good enough unless they fit a stereotype.

Besides we saw the reaction of the TIM in MGDD, many were pissed the cartoon wasn't "diverse enough" (there were many times that it was quite diverse) or ignored that there was a hijabi girl who probably was afraid to undress next to lil Timmy.

They are simply too intrinsically off-putting and anti-social to tolerate being around a woman without immediate gratification, and that’s in the rare instances where women don’t immediately flee from their presence due to the obvious bad vibes
>>2071989So many TIFs were very obviously not wanted by their fathers, it’s a chicken or egg situation though
>>2072460From what I can tell he doesnt have any social media, Shelby has posted on her tumblr account on his behalf both about medical updates and their etsy shop—apparently he makes the jewelry they sell? He probably has no involvement in the industry and just is a normie who likes basic artsy shit, and I don’t blame Shelby for prioritizing that over someone going further and further down the troon rabbit hole. Ik shelby said the divorce was amber’s idea but i feel like that truly isn’t the case and she just manipulated amber into it by letting her think it was her idea, and shelby saying it was her idea outright just convinces me of that 100%
>>2072417I think it’s just a stylistic choice, picrel is another screenshot from her ig. She seems like she is focusing on form and simplicity and seems removed from making more fandomy art apart from the pokemon shit. Also this is the caption for one of the drawings in the other screenshot:
“Starting to realize that the era of my life where the Internet analyzed my online presence because I worked on a TV show was kind of FUCKED UP and did a lot of emotional damage, what was that about???
Seriously I deleted my twitter and got 1000 emails about it and people wrote Articles
And none of that changed! People just got worse! Im done cooking bro I'm serving my shit raw“
She probably just isn’t posting more involved art because of that. NLOGs experiencing misogyny make me depressed because why are they so convinced slapping the he/him in bio will make people leave them alone

>>2072517it seems amber really got fucked over un the divorce bc if you look at old social media for their shit webcomic, she did a lot of lineart and seemed very invested in it. but now the neokosmos tumblr page no longer has her name on it, shelby and the moid have renamed the project and claim all credit for it, and shelby is going around saying amber wasn't that invested in it anyway.
then again amber seems really stunted and childish, so even if she intitated the breakup it probably wasn't too hard for the other two to fleece her

>>2072517I think she probably changed her name with the intent to dodge the limelight of being associated with Steven Universe and her various controversies. I don’t agree with a lot of Lauren Zuke’s behaviors, but It’s pretty crushing even as an outsider to see her reduced to posting stuff like picrel. Clearly there’s been some sort of realization on her end about the vague dangers of the internet.
Sidenote but there’s something really eerie to me about the these social-justice brained Californians making children’s cartoons. Particularly the crewniverse. They treat it as a soapbox to project their dumb ass adult insecurities onto. They front like it’s some deep, profound shit. In reality it’s incredibly self-masturbatory and deranged. Zuke did this a lot, where she whined about how she only wanted to portray characters who were “just like her!!!1” and were queer and struggled with mental illness. I’m sorry but I don’t think that should be encouraged. Those are your fatal flaws at the end of the day. You should actually be taking shit like that to grave instead of flanderizing your issues to the public and the pre-teens who watch your shows. These niggas think they are their ocs and fail to grasp they’re mostly embarrassing adults who don’t know how to handle their issues maturely.

i think womens sexualities function a lot less like the kinsey scale and literally just around which people they are around and like the most and can have a more of a psychological codependent relationship with than actual romantic and sexual attraction. im sure amber and shelbys relationship was probably that classic type of perfect bad relationship that works for ten plus years bcs one person i a needy mess and the other the relatively more stable one and they "balance each other out" and can build a life together. womens bonds i think are a lot more based on resources and a sense of security than pure attraction like mens are

>>2072616Sorry for autism but Shelby's sister Michaela (mkla.cosplay) was born in 1994, not 1998.
Either way, seeing as Shelby was a part of Hussie's circle as early on as 2011 (judging by the timeline of her contributions to the comic - I haven't been following Homestuck shit in almost a decade at this point), she was likely pimping out her sister to Hussie for clout when she was indeed 16 and he was 31. The gag in Act 6 about Hussie proposing to Vriska had real-life basis.

The most recent evidence of their being together comes from his dumb e-boy Instagram account featuring Michaela's BTS merchandise in late 2020. All else I can find on the two comes from anons implying to be former friends/associates in the aforementioned thread. Are they still together? Does anyone have evidence of them actually being married, or did I just hallucinate a pic of their wedding (not the one of Hussie officiating Shelby and Amber's) floating around a few years back?

I imagine Michaela's now-locked Twitter account may have been the source of my suspected mass-hallucination of their wedding photos. Wonder if any nonas in this thread might be following but 392's a tiny pool.
I'm probably reading into it too much, but her bio being "I'm 30 [now]" when none of her other social media profiles bother to mention her big age is giving me "Hussie instructed me to lock everything the fuck down and and help him preemptively deflect anyone getting wise to the fact that he groomed me".

the writers of the castlevania nocturne released an interview discussing how anyone who is against the decisions they made is simply a racist or a bigot. now, I actually liked aspects of season 2, but there was a lot of weird pandering (all the egyptian gods were portrayed as black, and voodoo was the only religion treated more seriously and less skeptically than christianity ever was). I can ignore that, but this article is just so full of bullshit, mostly with the writers talking about themselves and how their backgrounds justified their changes as and claiming that the original series wasn't doing enough
>Isaiah Colbert, io9: Castlevania is a series rich with fully realized characters, especially when it comes to its Black characters. We’ve seen this in the past with characters like Isaac, and now we’re witnessing it again with Annette, Edouard, and Drolta.
>While fans have come to expect Eurocentric historical events like the French Revolution to coincide with a fantastical story like Nocturne‘s, the show surprised folks the world over by focusing on Black revolutions as well. What inspired the idea of adding that element to Nocturne‘s story?
>Clive Bradley: Once we had the setting of the French Revolution (which came from Rondo of Blood being set in 1792), it was vital, I think, to find some way to include the Haitian Revolution. The most radical thing the French Revolution did was abolish slavery, but the fundamental reason for that was that enslaved people were abolishing it themselves in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (later Haiti). Of course, then, you need characters to dramatize this. And having a relationship between one of these characters and the “hero” of the game, Richter, seemed an obvious choice.
>Of course, the next step was to build a writers’ room with writers who could help flesh this out. I’m so honored to have found Testament, Zodwa, and Temi [Oh], who did such a marvelous job.
>Nyoni: What I found interesting was that conversation about where the line between fiction and reality is. I’m a history buff. I love politics and research, so I loved the idea of leaning in on the work that I already do as an academic or as a writer in theater or screen, but also meeting the world of Castlevania. Myself, Temi, and Testament came on board to realize this vision that allowed us to not only bring ourselves and our cultural backgrounds to it [but also] open up the space for more research.
>Testament: What I like about working with Zodwa and Temi is that certain go-to cliches have been used in portrayals of global majority heritage characters, and we wanted to be real. We’ve seen those hairstyles a bunch, and they’re not historically accurate. We can be fresh with that and keep it in history. The Haitian Revolution, again, [had] famous women who were generals, leaders, and warriors like Marie-Jeanne Lamartinière, Victoria Montou (aka Toya), and Suzanne Bélair. It’s just history.
>Ten years ago, we weren’t talking about it until people went back and gone, “Oh yeah, Cécile Fatiman was doing spells in the woods and then going and fighting plantation owners.” That’s a real true-life story; she wasn’t the only woman. A bunch of women were in leadership doing that, so we’re just drawing on real things, putting it into our fantasy, and hopefully continuing that tradition of mashing together historical periods, dope animation, and representing it.
>io9: What was your guiding principle for enriching Nocturne‘s Black characters with mythological elements tied to African culture and real-life events like chattel slavery and the Haitian Revolution?
>Nyoni: We were fortunate throughout the process to work with a Haitian American scholar called Cécile Accilien. Much of her work revolved around Francophone studies, so she gave us cultural and historical context. That specificity was significant for us to think about how we accurately represented the Haitian Revolution and found space for creative license. We spent so much time cultivating and finding points of accuracy and even conversing with Netflix about the choice of language—what to label accurately. Those things were important for us in the process.
>Testament: The first season was so much about freedom. There’s a continual theme about people finding and fighting for freedom in different ways. Thematically, it just made sense. History has always been viewed through a particular lens; certain characters have fallen by the wayside. Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, Alexandre Dumas’ father, was this war hero in charge of one of the biggest armies in the French Revolution. There are people like Chevalier Saint George who mentored him, but this has been erased from history. It was people like Napoleon who brought back slavery after the French Revolution got rid of it, had beef with Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, and tried to leave the black guy in prison.
>I’m half African heritage and half European in my bloodline. I have slave owners on my African side and on my European side, slaves and oppressed. I’m passionate about hearing different sides of the human experience, and that’s what great art can do. We can have a platform for different stories, but not just for the sake of it to push the narrative forward. Being historically accurate, you’re gonna see some Black faces and Black stories pop up, so we wanted it to be authentic and not just people put it in there for the sake of it.
>io9: Were there any elements vital to you for Nocturne to nail in the writers’ room regarding Black representation?
>Zyoni: Everything felt vital. Being able to go back and have conversations with the directors and the animators about hair texture, clothing, and cultural research on why certain characters have specific clothing and facial features. We did all of that work because representation felt important to us. When you start thinking about where we jumped to in time, there’s no way we can land in in Haiti suddenly with way more Black characters and not do the work and create a series that felt true to research.
>io9: There have always been clichés for how Black characters are represented in animation. Whether it’s how hair isn’t quite right or how, if Black character is a monster, it’s leaning on stereotypes that aren’t kosher. What was the collaborative process between the animation team and the writers over how characters should look in the show?
>Nyoni: I remember conversing about the evolution of Annette’s hair. They drew up different hairstyles, [studied] the meaning behind getting the hair texture accurate, and then went back and looked at images. We can’t be doing all this contextual research around world-building but not go back and look at what these characters look like.
>At one point, I was going, “The shape of the nose isn’t right. You can’t do this copy-and-paste thing of the same physical features but then just make everybody shades of brown. It just isn’t going to work.” So we sat down and talked a lot about why that mattered. I think what was really great is the team was always open to those conversations and understanding. Representation isn’t just about whether or not are we using the right language. It’s also about what is it we visually see.
>I really appreciate being included in those kinds of conversations because it meant this idea around representation had a through line across the board. I hate it when you watch shows and you go, “Oh, they got that element right, but they completely didn’t pay attention to this thing here.” It’s also to do with the length of time it takes to create this series. You have more space to have those conversations. It helps to have a receptive team that wants to hear why those things are necessary as opposed to trying to cut corners.
>io9: Nyoni, as the writer of Annette’s breakout episode in season one, what was your reaction to the response?
>Nyoni: When we were talking about which episodes everybody wanted to write, I was always drawn to Annette. I wanted to write an origin episode and think about where she comes from, her family’s background, and the connection to her spirituality, ancestors, deities, and Orishas.
>It’s been lovely seeing spaces where Annette is embraced and celebrated. People love how badass and complex she is, but [also] seeing how people discuss Annette in relation to the games and the expectations of Black characters—whether or not it’s about their visibility or in spaces where they’ve decided that Black folks shouldn’t be visible. It’s interesting thinking about how people pick at this idea of Blackness, visibility, or representation in fictional spaces and whether or not we’re having multiple conversations within this show.
>We need to be able to go, “What’s the thing that we’re saying about fictional stories? What’s the thing that we’re saying about adaptations? What’s the thing that we’re saying about blackness and visibility?” But sometimes it feels like all this stuff got enmeshed into one and exposed people’s prejudice and racial biases. I’ve always been massively proud of Annette as a character. It felt like such a privilege to write her and see people’s reactions to the depiction of voodoo and Orishas and loving it.
>io9: There’s a scene in season two where Richter and Annette discuss Henry the Last’s execution, allyship, the consequences of revolutions, and those who symbolize authority meeting their end, right or wrong. How important was keeping that prescient revolution theme ongoing while having characters converse without talking down to each other?
No. 2080750
>>2080746>Nyoni: When people start revolutions, they are determined to challenge the institutions that no longer serve them. Having characters like Annette as the voice of that change, we’re doing it on different levels where we can tackle the meaning, purpose, and desire for the Haitian Revolution. Inevitably, we have this dynamic with levels of protagonist and antagonist—whether or not it’s in the context of Castlevania or the world we live in. You’ve got to find your people and organize to effect change.>We see this at the top of the series when Annette seeks out the Belmonts. You constantly have to find your tribe of people who are also invested in this change that you want to bring about. We cannot do it alone.>This idea that revolutions and civil rights movements happen and everything is done is not true because society is a living, breathing thing constantly organizing. What I really liked about the way we edited season one is that sometimes you get this idea that everything’s tied up nicely in a bow, and you’re done. But the fight continues, and I think it will continue regardless of whether we’re in a season three, four, or five. The fight doesn’t just begin or end with you. Characters like Annette must return to their ancestors for that internal strength and rich conversation around revolution. In the African context, you’re not fighting alone with those alive. You’re also doing it with the living dead; their answers never leave you and are part of your strength in the fight.>Testament: What I love about our writers’ room is that we’ve all got slightly different political nuances, and none of us want to dumb down. For example, the church was sending Trevor to fight vampires, whereas, in the Castlevania Netflix series, the Church instigated the whole crisis in the first place. Texture, layers, and history are fused within that love for the game.
>io9: What was your favorite character moment in Castlevania: Nocturne that you had a hand in writing, and why?>Testament: Drolta is one of my favorite characters. Even before we’d written the dialogue and saw the design for her, I was like, “This is the person I want to go for drinks with.” In my episode, we get to see a bit of her backstory and why she is the way she is, which ties back to her African heritage via the Nubians in Egypt—the different cults and different religions within Egypt at the time. I was talking to Egyptologists at Manchester University about, you know, what they would have used and what the ceremony would have been.>Of course, we have some dramatic licenses, but we take them seriously. We still have this British sensibility—that sort of irony and dryness from the first and fourth seasons. Although Temi is of Nigerian heritage, Zodwa is Zimbabwean, I’m half English, half Ghanaian, we’ve fully grown up in schools and education and a culture of very dry humor, snarkiness, sarcasm, and nerdiness. That spans a singular race. To honor the Haitian Revolution, which was the only fully successful slave uprising for a whole nation was a monumental moment—all the world paid attention to [it] at the time, and the French empire got a bloody nose from that.
>Nyoni: We talk a lot about spirituality and Annette’s connection with her ancestors in the first season, but by the time we get to the second season, we’re not able to delve into that world because, up to this point, so much of kind of her access has always been through Cécile Fatiman. Now, there’s so much growth within her and her powers that we can see how she transports herself into other realms and assists the team in fighting Erzsabet in unexpected ways.>io9: There’s been a rise in the gaming zeitgeist that coincides with the entertainment industry, where stories centering on Black characters are deemed woke and pejorative. For Nocturne specifically, a small minority of the viewing audience scoffed at the swapping of Annette, accusing the series of not remaining faithful to the games as “Blackwashing” or forced inclusivity for a “Black quota.” As a writer, what’s your reaction to the discourse that routinely sounds off whenever a Black character is highlighted in a show?>Bradley: [Richter’s] girlfriend in the game is Annette, which is a French name, so we used that name. It certainly wasn’t because of some supposed need for a “quota” of Black characters. Netflix never said anything about that. It flowed from the logic of the story we wanted to tell.>A minority of the audience have attacked the show as “woke,” and so forth. Of course, on one level, that was to be expected. But it’s quite disturbing, to be honest, that some people see the element of the story which is, at core, ‘slavery is bad, freedom is good’, as controversial—or simplistic or something—and “woke.” I think maybe some people haven’t grasped that the Haitian Revolution was a real thing that actually happened, which most people don’t know about. If it’s “woke” to tell a story which is partly about that, well, so be it.>Testament: I think all conversation is welcome as long as we aren’t shutting down conversation on whatever side. I think it’s an opportunity to talk about how the French Revolution had important Black people. When the new politics of the revolution was starting, you had freed slaves in parliament.
>The first Black representative was in Paris during that era. There was a Black area of Paris at that time. That’s real stuff.>Even going back to that famous conversation between Richter and Dracula [in the games], they talk about slavery and religion. Richter asks Dracula, “You wanna enslave all men’s souls?” This freedom narrative for Richter goes back to the games; all we’re doing is adding to that. Hopefully, taking limited characters like Annette [who] in the computer games has purple hair and is a damsel in distress originally that hasn’t got many lines [or] much of a story arc, it’s like, “Please save me, Richter. I believe in you, Richter.” That’s her story arc.>Annette starts at a different place but grows to believe in Richter. She isn’t a damsel in distress but can handle her own as women in that period did, historically. We just conveniently forget about it sometimes. Richter is still the hero, still kicks butt, and takes names. He’s flawed; he’s on a journey. To start with him was like Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t make sense for us. He’s still the main dude; he has strong supporting friends.>Nyoni: It’s interesting when you think about these perceived white spaces that Black characters and people are not supposed to exist in. Historically, Black folks have been around in spaces where white people think that we have not been. We have long-rooted histories in spaces. You end up with this outcry about Blackwashing and you go, “What’s the thing that you are actually afraid of?” When we go back to the series, there is this evolution of characterization with what do you do with Annette from the game to the TV series. Where do adaptations sit? What space are they allowed to occupy? Nobody’s stopping you from playing the games.>There’s something really interesting and creative we’re doing with the series that allowed us to end up with this character with a Haitian background that looked back to Yorùbá. We were able to create a character that felt more relevant to the space and world that we had built, and I think it would have been just so massively incomprehensible to have landed during the kind of Haitian revolution without showing that vastness of Blackness, culture, religion, and meaningful representation.>In popular culture, when it comes to the representation of people of color, I think it is crucial, and there is nothing about the existence of Annette that I regret. I am so proud of that character, and I’m so proud of the work that has gone in not only with myself but with the writing team as a whole that we’ve done in her narrative thread in the world we built together. Somebody else’s prejudice and racism are not for me to tackle. I just have to continue to write great stories. That is my only task.
>io9: What impact do you hope Castlevania: Nocturne‘s story will have on the gaming and animation industry?>Nyoni: When the first series came out, we saw the impact in real-time. Once the series had been out for a while, we started to see cosplay and go, “Oh snap, people are embodying the idea you had of all these characters.” It is exciting to have more spaces where you can find new writers and writers can find themselves. But it takes showrunners like [Bradley] to say “I need new voices in the space.” Showrunners and producers have to work to bring those voices in; otherwise, where do we find that entry point? I don’t know how else I would have gotten here if they hadn’t requested different voices in the space.>Testament: The power of stories to share different experiences [with] our love of video games and culture. When I grew up, there weren’t heroes who looked like me, so we had Bruce Lee. There were some athletes, but in terms of the animated space and the anime space, you had Kaneda—he was my guy—but he didn’t look like me. I love Akira and everything it says about government and how we live our lives. You can have a cool motorbike chase, but you can also think about what totalitarian states are.>[Castlevania: Nocturne has] a great opportunity to have conversations and to discuss things that don’t typically get discussed. My favorite art gives me sensation and emotion but also might leave me with other things to like to think about. No. 2080754
>>2080746I don't understand how they just can't create

POC myself (not Black) and if I saw some random White character be suddenly turned into my ethnicity I'd probably be just like: "Oh wow, making a
POC character is too hard for you so you'd rather take some existing character and paste
POC unto it because you're too lazy and that's too difficult for you."
Also, are any of these decisions
actually made by POCs? I've always been suspicious of it. I'm 90% sure
POC creators would rather make their own original characters, that's what I do anyway.
Also, while the

Even if characters were meant to be nonbinary, they never explicitly said so and no one except the autistic adults following the crewniverse on social media would know. Even Stevonnie had the in-universe of being a fusion of two people, so it kinda made sense when people called her "they" outside of a troon context. This is just so cringe.
No. 2081010
>>2080754I agree with you anon. I'm black and I cannot stand blackwashing characters. I was a big Castlevania fan before the Netflix shows as I got into the series during the Lament of Innocence days and I was never bothered that the games lacked black characters because I understood that the setting took place in ye'old Europe.
I was not fucking with the race change of Annette. I can understand them wanting to make her more of an action girl instead of a damsel and I really enjoyed how they did that for Sypha in the first Netflix show but the race swapping just turned me right off. I had this issue with Isaac as well in the first season, he should've stayed a pale ginger.
I would much rather they just make new original characters who happened to be black. If "Blackette" was just a new character introduced to the show, I would've accepted her with open arms. I mean if I'm not mistaken, isn't Edouard a original character made of the show? If so, clearly they could've made more because while I personally wasn't that invested in him because he was transformed way too fast, at least he is his own character with his own story to tell.
>>2080756>but POC characters can only ever be copies and can have no story of their own.Exactly. I don't understand how these people don't seem to understand. Are black characters only good for getting scraps? Where's the respect? lol
This just sucks because there were some aspects that I really liked of Castlevania Nocturne but it was also full with so much annoying ass pandering. I'm debating if I will watch season 2 because I have a feeling we're gonna get even more pandering BS, especially after reading the interview but I'm still morbidly interested because I love Alucard and I'm curious how they will handle him this second time around.

Even if the blackwash character is a "headcannon", I don't care, you're still changing the race because you desperately want that character to reflect what you are which is just stupid imo. Just make your own black OCs. I understand the lack of prominent black characters in animated media but still, blackwashing an already established character is just pathetic and it's not surprising why some people side eye or get annoyed by it.
I just can't understand how these black people even get into blackwahsing characters. I was really into Cardcaptor Sakura & Kim Possible growing up and I really liked the main characters in those shows but I never once thought that I would relate more with the characters if they were black. Like can someone here maybe explain the mindset because I just don't get it.

>>2082022In my humble opinion, that only became a thing because of the Internet. It's a meme. Someone said it once on Tumblr or Twitter or TikTok and people ran with it as a real thing. Doesn't helo that Americans have retarded race wars online 24/7. So they decided to weaponize representation and black/brown/whitewashing in their race wars online. So someone whitewashes a character to piss black/brown people off, then they retaliate with black/brownwashing, then they try to excuse it in some woke representation and relating to a character packaging so no one would be able to tell them it's wrong, or else they're racist and they don't get it. To me, the whole "I need to see a character that looks like me to relate to them!!" thing is disgenuine and people are faking it for Internet points. But it's not far fetched that there is a minority that's genuinely like that who got mixed up with the fakers. It reeks of narcissim to me, "everything has to be about me me me!!1!1!", but it can be understandable in cases with a show that has characters from around the world and from different cultures but a group of viewers can't find a character from their own culture on screen, so they wish for one like all the other groups. But it's not an excuse to change already established characters. And most of the time they change characters from media that doesn't do the different cultures thing to begin with, from worlds with homogeneous people who all look the same or something, or are from a real country that almost has no black people in it at all, like when they do it with anime characters that are supposed to be Japanese. Which is why I think it's just racebait and stubbornness, and can't take it seriously at all. They do it because they know it riles people up and causes retarded infighting, so they can point and say "see! They're racist and I'm better and a
victim!", it's woke trolling basically.

This is why I'm thankful that I'm in my 30s and got to grow up as a kid and teen consuming media when Tumblr, Twitter, and TikTok were not things because you just never saw this stuff back in the late 90s and 00s. Even in the early days of DeviantART, most people would just draw black OCs or self-inserts for the animated shows that they were into including myself (I made a black Sailor Scout lol).
Considering how wokeism has been a thing since like early 2010 and has not seemed to die off, your explanation makes sense why these people who I assume are mostly gen z, are engaging in such stupidity. It makes sense that is more of a pissing attention whore game disguised as fake activism for black representation.

I think your assumption about these people caring more about the power trip of thinking that bitching and moaning as a group will get them what they want seems about right. It's totally about their egos thinking they can boss around studios with the threat of trying to cancel them on Twitter and cry racism.

Anyway I'm not surprised that she got a deal to turn her story into an animated series since her art style just screams "this will look awesome animated" but it's a shame that it's going to be seemingly centered around a topic that's going to age like milk in 5 years when the troon bubble finally pops.

>>2086179Speaking for myself (ayrt), I just like the art style really. The themes itself, especially presented from a zoomer perspective (no offense) is where the issue comes from because like you accurately pointed out, most of you were in elementary school during this time and didn't really get to truly indulge and immerse yourself in these things at the time.
But to be fair, us millennials did a similar thing with late 80s and 90s stuff even though we were just elementary school during these times where a lot of us were interested in 90s stuff like grunge so I suppose it's just a thing every generation goes through lol.
I think the reason why Y2K revival is hot right now is because of us millennials entering that 20-30 year gap where we are starting to reflect on the things we indulged in during the 2000s as teens and gen z is getting caught up in it because of the vague relation to it.
>>2086183Again, I guarantee it's just the art style people are hyped with. A lot of the comments on this artists posts are adoration for her artstyle.

As someone who was a teen in the 00s and had interest in survival horror, you're absolutely right that aside from Resident Evil and Silent Hill, unless you knew where to look, the genre didn't really go past those two as far as relative mainstream attention in that time. Fatal Frame is probably one of the exceptions because I definitely remember that one but the only reason I knew about it was because of the G4 channel lol That's also how I learned about Haunting Ground and but that game was super niche and I remember when I would talk to my friends about that game, they had no idea what I was talking about.
So yeah, there's no real reason why this character should be into survival horror as if it's a widely accessible genre when it just wasn't back in that time, especially in America.

>>2087515Michael's response.
>>2087609>>2087565My thoughts exactly kek. Why does anyone need to know the details about this? A 'we broke up but still have a working relationship' would've been fine. Strange behavior on both sides.
>>2087670Yes, they're poly.

>>2090230Remember that episode in
Rick and Morty where Rick has an imprisoned alien in his garage and the alien is forced to see Beth and Jerry's bickering and the alien got so sick of their bickering that he broke himself free just to tell the two that they're a terrible match of a couple and that they should just separate?
Well I'm the alien and Noelle and Molly are Beth and Jerry.

>>2090388Exactly. I don't understand why
nonnie got jumped. Uploading your toddler dressed as Pomni of all characters IS weird even if she was just a flavor of the month hentai waifu, but the goosetranny context of him encouraging the porn while being publicly thrilled at the idea of corrupting minors makes it so much worse.

>>2069227The character on the furthest left who is jumping, is referred to as Kai in the show. From the two episodes they seem like one of the best players on the team?
>>2069287Maybe design was changed after the fact? The scene where they get the stars is shown from a different perspective.
