ok im moving this late night ramble that i truly wish i didn’t have to express to the password protected blog
in terms of criticism of omori that i read from some rando’s tumblr 2 years ago and have done the psychological equivalent of running away crying and going “NUH UH” since, I’m conflicted on whether “sunflower is classic false-advertising queerbait” is one of the more valid points. like i don’t necessarily think anything in the game alone is quite enough to say that and while there was very gay prerelease/promo art of sunny and basil there was also sunburn stuff iirc. on the other hand the creator is notedly a fujoshi and all things considered it is sus to me that there was also sunny/kel and even aubrey/kim tease art yet the closest thing to actual (intentional) lgbt representation ingame is the vague pretty boy callback.
post cancelled actually i just proved the latter point to myself. the only other thing i have is my classic incredibly weak “but that was just one guy! no one else thinks that!” defense. while this is in fact a beyond childish argument i can use it to give myself the peace of mind that out of the millions of copies of omori that have been sold, the number of people who were in it for the yaoi and got baited is most likely in the single digits, therefore im still a good boy and my decision to spend $20 on that game my friend likes :) when i was 16 does not mean im the scum of the earth
I want all animals to become sapient enough to produce art specifically because I want to see what sort of sex homunculus caricature each species would create if given the ability to draw
Like we've already got the anime waifu with the needle-waist and watermelon-bazonkas and borzoi-legs and bug-eyes. Now show me a fucked-up stupid beetle as drawn by a horny beetle. I want to see what a cartoonishly sexy lion looks like according to lions. I want to see the most ridiculous drawing of a peahen that would have the peacocks squaring up by the fountain.
We give this power to ostriches and they just start drawing people

my solution to copyright is that everything unconditionally becomes public domain with the creator's death. anything held by a group will lose their rights with the death of its leader; whether it be a CEO for corporations or a president for state media. this will solve no problems but will lead to extremely funny assassinations
Fun fact: the creator of dwarf fortress has a contingency for this in his will. The source code of the game gets publicly released upon his death, unless he’s murdered. Then it stays locked away forever
If I weren’t a coward I’d ramble here about what i think of [undisclosed “problematic media” iykyk] these days. for what’s probably the first time ever i’ve been thinking about it as a social phenomenon without insane judgement clouding from middle school obsession nor immense self hatred. i just find it interesting. i should write some “…and the political realm” style essay on it at some point
