itd be nice if more people realized i was joking. But this is hexbear and i should have known some would believe me to be serious.

i don't want to make my neurodivergent friends think i would actually dislike them for partaking in something everyone does to some degree.

Some people are answering super sincerely and i feel bad

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

I literally have this problem as a hyper sarcastic empathetic person. I make a nuclear take that could be really funny in the right environment, but then I stress immediately after that I hurt someone's feelings.

No, you won't. You're a fraud, and I will ban you if you try to be him.

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can't ban all of us. We will resurrect the culture struggle session and the ban button is gonna break from overuse.

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

The idea that communism will have no treats is toxic to our movement.

Communist games and movies will be leagues better than what we currently have.

[–] FearsomeJoeandmac@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (7 children)

Look... if im in my heart of hearts and being serious. i dont mind pop culture. i think when people get a little too obsessed with cape shit or whatever. They would certainly be better spending that time reading, but i dont actually hate pop culture in moderation. Even if most of it is trash right now.

Daily reminder that Hexbear is a treat smuglord

[–] crosswind@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

Look, I know there've been problems in the past, but I think there's some really cool stuff under development in Star Citizen right now. If you all can chip in a few hundred dollars with me to help the project along, I think it's really going to pay off in a few months.

I been thinking recently, notUlyssessT, and i know this is tongue in cheek but i wanna ruminate some. I look around my burgerland home and the people who live here and i can't hate them for delving as deep into pop culture as they can. Cuz theres no other culture here. Im mullin over an idear in my craw that treat derision or even calling the culture we have "pop" serves the capitalist class.

It's not us plebs who destroyed our social clubs and the real connections we had before our time to spend on them was stolen. We didn't set out to work so hard and so long we had no energy for anything else. The caps fucking took that part of our lives away. Stole it. They also made themselves the only source of entertainment we can afford or have time for (not to mention forcing artists of all types into the service of profit and popularity to make them). What really gets me furious every day is that they also have the only voice we can hear, or at least the loudest voice and they use this voice much like the church used to, using it mostly to blame us for living in the world they fuckin built.

The worst part of "pop" culture is our guilt for consuming it (hating pop culture is a way of participating in pop culture as well). It is always the way of those in power to cast blame on the oppressed for their indigence.

It's no different then the avocado toast shit or any other bull you care to name. The powerful pick on the weak for all they do because they can, and because it works.

Ill never take guff from somebody mouth-noisin at me about whether i can participate in The culture we have in this god-forsaken desert of meaning that is the US.

We are all The Cable Guy.

All grown up cartoons are bad. All. No exceptions. South Park = Bojack Horseman = Below Decks.

Genshin Impact has is a deep and thoughtful story that appeals to sensitive prole intellectuals like me. Any critiques from someone with under 200 hours of playtime are libs and will be treated with utmost disgust.

One piece is good because it's about being queer and revolutionary and truly free

I used to be a total hog for treats in my 20s, I even liked Marvel movies and AAA games. Don't know if I'm getting old or if the treats really are worse now, but I couldn't care less about most modern pop culture.

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Dunno about your age, but they really are worse

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

How do you feel about the TV show Barry?

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're gonna have to write a book or series of books first, sorry

[–] FearsomeJoeandmac@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

From my pfp, it's obvious that I like The Transformers. But that's because I grew up watching the old tv shows. That's as far as my pop culture obsession goes.

And Funko Pops are dumb. Why not have a toy that can transform into either a car (or object) that you can play with, or a fully posable robot action figure that you can with, instead of just look pretty on a shelf? Even Soundwave, the tape player transformer, has more functionality than those Pops.

[–] FearsomeJoeandmac@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You dont need to justify anything to me. Fuck man who doesnt like G1 optimus prime?

Actually Funky Pops are ugly as shit.

Love to have all my favorite characters with the same loaf of bread head and beady eyes.

consuming treats is to follow in the footsteps of his holiness st. bhagavan shree matt christman (SAW), when one drinks enough canned fizzy beverages the akashic records become visible at all times as they are to his holiness (SAW)
