Fortnite's IP-Centric business model got players so bad that they can't fathom the idea of an emote not being directly tied to some random character or skin
@TheJakeneutron
What's funny is that I can't tell if this is a reaction to:
A - Music being pretty good
B - Realising it's ZAMination and being reminded of all their past controversy with Ethan and Poppy Playtime
C - Akira slide
I personally felt all three at once, and it quite was surprising!

"The people who said that English is not their first language actually write like English is not their first language"
??????
Yeah?? That's what they said??? Why do they think they're putting that disclaimer out in the first place????
@piipstachio
This + That one tweet that went something like "Did Jesus, son of a carpenter, smell the wood of the cross and momentarily be reminded of home?"
@CosmonautMarcus
An unintended side effect of this is that the people who insulted him will feel validated in their initial reaction, and will continue to judge people by their appearance
@AjSeegle
This could honestly work considering how Mario is the family name, so him being called Dr. Mario would still make sense if his real name ended up being Alfred or something.

@LucaGuadagnegro
That reminds me of that one Lil Nas X tweet where some angry parent was getting pissy with his recent music, and he clapped back by talking about how Old Town Road was about adultery and telling adults to "blame yourself".
Iconic!

As a fellow media student, and one that was always fascinated by the mediation process when it came to communicating to an audience, reading this booklet is quite fascinating. I can definitely see why you covered it in class.
But as a human being, this shit is pretty damn scary!
@ShitpostGate
"You claim to believe in no god, yet you invented a devil to scare yourself" is too cool of a quote for it to come from a Subway sandwich meme
@CrispyFrise
Tbf, the idea of Heaven censoring their swears in an attempt to appear more righteous, only for it to highlight how much they also swear would've been kinda neat
@cs_deathmatch
Do the Peter Griffin thing and get impaled on top of the castle. It's the centerpiece, so cameras and people will likely see you, and the cleanjob will be ardous and complicated enough to give time for the news to get around.
@MoofusGoofus
People who hate these kinds of channels probably say "normies" unironically and care more about the elitism that comes with an inside joke than the actual joke itself.
@elipheenyx
I bet you that this is precisely how the people who claim that the LGBTQ+ community "grooms kids" act. Just blatantly ignoring her kid's desires.
If a parent can accept a child's desire to become, say, a police officer when they grow up, they should be able to accept this too.
@Zhane_Star
It's because they watched the first ten seconds, went "haha, so true Brian Griffin from animated adult TV show Family Guy" and didn't get to the jokes making fun of them.
@ChudsOfTikTok
@RobDenBleyker
Elon (or more likely his PR team) realised that it probably wasn't the best idea to censor one of his biggest critics when his whole agenda is meant to be "free speech".
@cleeeees
I don't have a screenshot, but some mouth breather asked ChatGPT for a response, it spat out a generic one, and then posted it in the thread saying "Well I asked AI what it thinks of AI and it approves!!" as though that means anything
@saltydkdan
Imagine if Salty managed to unearth some massive CIA-level scandal from simplying wanting to make a video on Osama Bin Laden's Animal Crossing town
@remsomniac
The most interesting part to me about the GNF clip is that when Dream revealed that George wasn't planning on doing anything, everyone essentially went "Yeah, sounds about right." which goes to show that there's more to this than just one or two bad jokes; its a pattern from him.
@Dont_panic749
Literally everyone in the comment is saying:
"Joker!"
"Persona!"
Even though the idea of a calling card has been around much longer around media. The fact that other replies to my tweet are saying stuff like "it's just a card it makes no sense" just proves my point.
@Valuenetwork97
A brilliant interpretation! I never thought about it that way, and considering how Undertale's metanarrative writing is one of the things that makes me love it above any other games, it's just made me appreciate the scene more!
Though, where does that leave Mettaton NEO in this?

Not only allowed, but celebrated by graphic gushers who cry tears of joy of seeing the sweat pores on every npc and every engraving of wood in a torch.
@Ish_bruhh
In the first ten seconds, he says he's not familiar with the franchise and makes a R34 joke about Vanessa. I refuse to touch the rest of the video.
@Firlows
@M1das_OW2
100%. People who do that miss the bigger picture, considering how much AI stuff has evolved in the small amount of time that it has.
It's no longer "a while away", no longer a "meme". It's here, and we've got to find a way to deal with it. And fast.

Bro is looking at all the posts about a dystopian future created by him and is quickly scribbling it down on his Tesla-Brand Notepad
@zombvibes_
The only thing I miss about Berdly being hated by the fandom is that Krerdly was much funnier as a ship where Kris was dating him to spite the player as opposed to generic gamer yaoi
@manx_moss
@punchingmoths
Honestly, not to take the low hanging fruit (perhaps a particular apple?), but that sounds like better writing than most of the current lore thus far.
@unfunnymeat
Something people also never consider about movie redesigns - If they looked the same as their game counterparts, it would make changes such as their voice more glaringly noticeable. With different designs, they can pass it off as differentiating "Movie Mario" and "Game Mario".

I love that the prop vase breaks in Scott's hand and before even hitting the desk, probably one of my favourite practical bits he's done

@supermariomovie
Wow, I am loving the direction that Charlie Day is taking his Luigi voice! It fits the character, and I can see why they cast him for the role!
@SuperMarioOOC85
People are saying "Actually, it would be in-character for Nintendo to stay silent on this", but are forgetting the other major party.
You're telling me Charles wouldn't post a statement or anything about having to retire his star role that he's done since 1991? Yeah, no shot.
@misterduby
@villager_64
I realised that the phrasing here also debunks the fandom's myth/rumour/headcanon/etc. of Daisy being Wapeach, as both are listed separately
@Ish_bruhh
Don't hate Alphys, but:
1. Sunny was a kid, whereas Alphys was an adult
2. Sunny only killed Mari, whereas dozens of monsters were turned into amalgamates
3. Mari's death was an accident whereas the experiments weren't an accident. It was their aftermath that was unintended.
I was reading a discussion comparing Undertale and Deltarune, and I came across a realisation whilst thinking about their gameplay mechanics. More specifically, how soul mechanics are introduced. It spiralled into this. Enjoy. (A Thread π§΅, 1/7)
@Ish_bruhh
I hope that Chaos King remains evil. In the big sea of morally-grey characters, having one that's unapologetically evil is refreshing. It also set the tone for DR to be different than UT, and makes their conversation on whether everything can be solved by mercy make more sense.
@JustaMinx
@ProtectTheMoose
Ignoring the fact that they legally couldn't, you seriously can't see why someone may refrain from talking shit about someone who threatens their life?
@snooticus
Considering how M&L: Dream Team's Luigi attacks worked, you can feasibly make arguments like "Luigi Ladder" make sense in the canonical realm of those games
@DewEnjoyer
They literally state that they weren't being literal in the tweet, which implies that she isn't underage.
I mean, that's like taking someone who calls a character like, say, Reigen Arataka their "babygirl" completely at face-value.
@visodette
I can't get over her saying "The Rock" because... Eyebrows, I guess?
Like, I get that this was likely heightened for the sake of the Tiktok/YT Short, but really? We're having problems with a character expressing themselves with eyebrows now?
@TheJakeneutron
Elon Musk really is an innovator; Never in a million years would anyone think of doing something so nonsensical and stupid as removing light-mode.
