From this video by right-populist and noted loser Dimmy Jore
They don’t have a theory of mind. We aren’t part of the audience, we’re more like wildlife or scenery. NPCs, y’know?
It’s quite telling how popular “simulation theory” and especially “dae everyone I don’t like NPCs” beliefs are among billionaires.
I mean tbh having worked in food service for years I have to believe that at least half the people I see are actual NPCs
I met a guy practicing to be an NPC on Friday. Straight up lead with “I’ve been practicing my animatronic wave!” .>
Talking down to an audience they hate
I love when CHUDs see shit like the She-Hulk scene mocking sexist fans and go “waaaaaah they hate their audience”
My Brother in Christ if you feel seen by scenes like that that is 100% on you. The rest of us do not feel alienated by TV shows calling out sexists.
The entitled manchildren are here to explain why not pandering to a hateful minority is alienating their audience
As far as he’s fallen these days, MovieBob once pointing out in a very old video, from when he still worked for the Escapist, that white male nerds are getting angry that they aren’t the only target audience for nerd media anymore was a formative moment for me. Probably helped stop me from going down the wrong path.
Like thats what a LOT of this rage is about. White male nerds are no longer the most special wonderful target audience and are no longer being exclusively catered too and that makes them fucking FURIOUS. And they are reacting like the spoiled brats they are.
My Brother in Christ if you feel seen by scenes like that that is 100% on you.
Remember when MAGA chuds told on themselves by seeing the Galactic Empire being negatively portrayed in Rogue One and calling it anti-Trump propaganda?
I missed that one but thats hilarious. I do remember that reaction to other things though like Wolfeinstein and Farcry uh… 6? The one with the southern cult leader.
Far Cry 5 is like the most cowardly game ever made. Ubisoft could have easily made the cult into overt white supremacists, which is how they’re coded, and yet they aren’t. They even don’t identify as Christians. (There’s a scene where a cultist slaps a Bible out of a preacher’s hands and replaces it with their cult book)
And the good guys are all cops, small business owners, and little militia groups in the mountains that also wave American flags. Game is pretty fun though and has some cool moments.
Nah you thinking of far cry 5. 6 is where you’re a guerrilla revolutionary working with farmers, workers, anarchists and old communists to overthrow a Dictator who overthrew a communist government (a shit one since the libs can’t make a good game)
I didn’t see She-Hulk because of all the Terrible Things I heard about it, then later I finally see the scenes in the original context only to find that most of the scenes people lined about we’re not only minor or comic relief. But the infamous twerking scene was literally just an after credits joke.
talking down to audience they hate
Shoehorning their politics into their crappy writing
I can sympathize. I too am tired of those shitty pro-pentagon movies. Especially pro-pentagon movies about evil Russians, shown in Russia
talking down to audience they hate Shoehorning their politics into their crappy writing
I’m sick and tired of Zack Snyder shit, too!
CHUDs think they represent the “silent majority.” That everyone agrees with their hateful nonsense, but is too scared of the wokes/sjws/commies etc to admit it.
It’s hilarious but true - they think they represent some huge number of americans who are out there, disregarded by enormous media and portions of tech. In fact, they represent less than a third of Americans who are stuck fighting a losing race war that they’re convinced is going to turn on them and eliminate their control (it will) then eliminate them - and they jump to these sick conclusions because of their rampant projection, it’s exactly what they would do if they had control so of course they fear it.
Well they feel alienated since right-wingers can still count on the state and capital to follow along with their ideology, but culturally they feel confused since movies, shows, advertising, etc is captured by ideological liberals. Right wingers have basically everything they want in terms of political victories at the moment.
By that I mean they’re winning when it comes to actual enforcement of racism and transphobia. Structural bigotry is still rampant and is getting worse. And this is at odds with American popular culture, which is will often vaguely gesture in the direction of progressive values. There will be gay characters, or trans characters, like little progressive snacks for suburban liberal types.
Is he suggesting Zack Snyder or cop show writers do not shoehorn their politics into shows?
There’s two kinds of thing: “thing I agree with” and “political”
Race? White and political. Gender? Male and political. Sexuality? Straight and political. etc etc
I would love to sit down and tease apart how this line of thought came to be
It’s called status quo. Political is when you change status quo. I don’t believe it’s any more complicated than that.
I would probably ask them to point to an apolitical show, mostly out of curiosity. I don’t think I’m convincing anyone with this line of thought though
If the history of chuds being asked this question tells me anything they are going to answer the singe most political show in the history of television. Remember, these are the people who did this: https://nitter.net/9_volt_/status/827887491738894337?lang=en (I will never stop bringing this up).
