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.
Back when I was still plugged into the matrix I thought it was a great movie. But now I can only think of the stuff you talked about.
I think American Beauty a quality subversive movie when it was released in 1999. Now, all of that subversion has been normalized by a degenerate culture. But I don't blame that movie for where we ended up anymore than I blame GTA3 for gun violence.
