For me that’s RWBY. By god I loved V1-V6, and I was completely expecting how V6 ended, because I knew they listened to shippers way too much, but the Vic stuff just made me fall out of love with it instantly. It also helped that I started getting deep into the FGC and esports at that time, so learning how to play fighting games took a bunch of time that I used to spend watching other things and I put that into something more interactive.
This came up because I started listening to a bunch of older RWBY music, realized how old RWBY is and how long it’s been since I watched an episode. Not gonna watch one of course, but it’s just something that came to my mind recently, and god damn, if I win the lottery, I know exactly what I would do with the money.
Yeah, it's far better to be aware of the insidious influences and be repulsed by them than being clueless and just continuing to live in blissful ignorance.
