Even simping for potato head will get you lectured because you dared say she

I'll give them a minor point. Game Ellie didn't get half as much backlash because she was cute and her VA, afaik, didn't get involved in the drama. It all went to Abbey and Druckmann, the really controversial character and the one who wrote it that way.
Instead this Downie made sure to make it all about herself as a person, feeding into every bit of it by making sure we all knew she was reading it and seething. Letting us know she was painfully aware her career was dying more with each episode, and was pretending it was our fault.
She is coming to realize that being an ugly potato head was in fact the only reason she got the role, and now she isn't protected by people's politeness when she was portraying a child and a popular and capable main actor to be the spotlight.
Who?
Terminally online people tend to assume everyone follows the same twitter feeds and already knows whatever it is they're referencing. It's an ongoing frustration.
Perhaps this is why the touch grass meme took off.
While that is often the case, the potato head meme has been everywhere, including most normie social media, for weeks. One of the biggest shows airing right now (low bar) and its being clowned on by literally everyone. Its not a niche political backwater one, like is often the case.
There's a pretty significant gulf right now between people who keep up with pop culture and those who don't.
I'm another person who had no clue at all what this post was about. Didn't even really know they were making a live action TLoU.
And that's fine. My point wasn't "you absolutely should have heard of this its so big."
Its that it doesn't take "terminally online, never touches grass" to have done so, especially as we have had dozens of topics on it on this very forum about it prior. So him acting elitist about it was retarded.
Uh...
His whole point is that you can't expect everyone online to know all about what else was posted there before, because a LOT of people only browse forums like this very casually, and do not at all keep up with whatever others have discussed in the past.
Yes, that's why I posted numerous unrelated areas as examples. Ranging from places he has absolutely been to (here), to normie social medias, to literal real life. Multiple avenues to have heard of it, from terminally online (here) to actually touching grass.
The entire purpose being, acting smug about "not being always online on twitter, touching grass" over something this reaching is retarded. No one, including I, tried to dab on someone just asking about it. Only the one acting superior for having not.
For fuck sake dude, you're the only one being smug here and you keep throwing it around at everyone else.
Know when to cut your losses and leave.
Oddly enough, none of the normies I know are talking about this show.
It died once Pedro died. It is a female empowerment show and guess who's not watching it?
The only ones I've seen are doing so in mockery, I've yet to meet any positive interaction. The first season at least had middling rumble, mostly Pedro being at his peak career power.
This is exactly the attitude I just described. You are making my point for me by demonstrating it in real time.
Well considering by everywhere I meant literal humans I interact with at work have brought it up and laughed about it unprompted, its not "the same twitter feeds."
You know while touching grass it still came up. Without even being online at all!
So I think it might be the case that you yourself are too online and missed what normies are memeing about in the wild.
Yeah, I'm on the internet so much that I'm not aware of the hottest meme on the internet right now. Sure.
You know a meme isn't an internet only thing. Its a legitimate social concept that can and does exist everywhere, with people talking and sharing it in their real life.
And, as to your original point that I agree is often the case, one can be so terminally online that they miss the forest for the trees in their specific little channels (like here) with its memes that they assume that's the whole of the internet itself!
So, you yourself demonstrated the point perfectly.
I'm pretty online and also have no idea WTF you're talking about.
So its not a terminally online thing either. Glad we could prove it once again.
Bella Ramsey, I'm guessing from OPs potato head statement
Oh. No.
That is one unattractive critter. To such an extent I block it out, and am somehow surprised every time I see a picture, all over again.
Potato Head: The Eternal Cringe.
I don't get it
Big Harvey wouldn't stick his dick in that
"And she's actually pretty, too."
Pedo.
Hey, that's the go-to response from this show's simps whenever people point out Ramsey doesn't look anywhere near as good as original Ellie, so fair's fair I say. Ramsey herself may legally be an adult, but she sure as hell doesn't look like one.
You've reminded me of something terrible.

If anyone was wondering, I kinda look like that
AH-HAHAHAHAHAHA! Little effort was needed to make her look like a man! Which might be why she's decided to be a they-them.
Perfect example of group think purity spiral in real time.
I thought this was referring to the potato who failed to sound the tornado alarms.
It is peak clown world that we don't know which they/them current event is in question.
Good guess anyway. There was zero context given when I asked. I thought OP was talking about POTATUS Biden but that didn't make sense after seeing the tweets. Never played TLOU.
Why would anyone be talking about the attractiveness of the alarm person?
Because when I heard "potato," the first thing I thought of was the potato-looking they/them that failed to sound the alarms.
And the kind of people who would say that the potato chick in Last of Us was kind of cute would also say that the other potato was kind of cute, because they like to lie to themselves and to others.
"Hey, you misgendered xem!" "Sorry I forgot because that was like 2 years ago."
