The digital soccer mom club finding out that being the fun police means they’re now policing their own fun.

Like I’ve liked anime and media made by right-wingers before and you don’t see me distraught I liked something made by “the enemy”.

Whether I like to admit it or not, Butch Hartman did a fantastic job on both Fairly Oddparents and Danny Phantom, my childhood would not be the same without him.

normalize referring to "anti-woke" curators as digital soccer moms.

Fairly Oddparents was distilled idealism.

The plot: Upper middle class suburbanite kid is given two magic wish granters because his baby sitter was kinda mean.

The primary antagonisms:

  1. His wishes violate some bourgeois set of rules.
  2. His wishes are granted, but bite him in the ass.

The primary lessons:

  1. Follow the rules, never question them, only recourse is trying to lawyer around them with technicalities.
  2. Never want better things, lest it upset the status quo.
  3. Action is never an acceptable way of getting what you want, only wish fulfillment.
  4. Never reveal that you possess methods capable of improving the lives of others.

I consider this show a training program to get children to become good liberals. My lil bro used to watch this show as a kid, and I was too young / libbed to express my distaste for it.

The music in Morrowind and Skyrim was very very memorable and I admit that, but the SV enjoying creep that composed it makes me feel so off when I listen to his compositions that I feel more comfortable listening to covers made by other musicians.

That motherfucker also did the soundtrack KOTOR, that game was my childhood! angery

I'm glad the sequel's score wasn't composed by the creep

Yeah yeah some say "separate art from artist" as if that banishes squick feelings from those that feel them, but that became impossible for me after I found out (CW: SV)

spoilerthat Jeremy Soule stated that the Dovahkiin song in Skyrim was thematically intended to simulate the chase, struggle, takedown, and "conquest" of his dreamed-of next SV victim.

As someone who listens to OSRS music a lot when doing stuff…I feel your pain.
