Idk, I think some things have a lot of intent in them. Some old cartoons were absolutely made just to sell toys (although I guess that is intent - to sell). I think art can also just exist, and doesn’t need a message behind it. It can just be an expression of a vision turned into some sort of physical manifestation. I will argue that a lot of people are influenced heavily by the need for $$$ (rightfully so). Likewise, I think a lot of media is manipulative and can have a sort of vapid feeling regardless of if AI is involved or not. Maybe you just need to find some new things to fall in love with? Maybe you just wanna hang with your older stuff. It’s all good, just saying that it’s not as hopeless as it feels even if a lot of media is an absolute dumpster fire. To be honest, it kinda has been for a while (I can’t say always, but for sure I remember some absolute shit coming outta the 70s).
I have no idea how I didn’t realize Pride was PRIDE MONTH - and instead thought it was some anime convention that you were attending. I thought maybe you were a vendor or something and just sitting there at this PrideCon drawing in the booth because you were bored. No shit this is the whole backstory I made for you in my head. I am so fucking dumb sometimes =P!
Holy shit!
Ahhh, my problematic boys up here. My problematic boys. I love this man’s wife’s problematic girls. I have a secret love of Happy Mania, even though it’s absolute trash. It’s a trash manga and I could not put enough of it into my eye holes for a while there. So for a smoosh - maybe you can do a FLCL coming up? Ehhhh? EH!?!?!?!
