I wonder when the backlash against loreslop is going to happen. I know it will always appeal to a particular audience of autists but the idea that every new media property with an extremely online fanbase has to have a Silmarillion worth of lore behind it is completely retarded.

I feel like it has already happened to a degree. I remember a period (I would say roughly 2017-2021) when there was a huge influx of these types of "stories", particularly outside of mascot horror, with a whole bunch of lore-bait and no obvious narrative. Boneworks and Fortnite are what come to mind for me. It was obvious to me that they did this to try and ride the success that FNAF had.
Then this whole trend died out (deservedly, might I add, shit was really annoying) as quickly as it popped up.

There's no obvious backlash because this stuff never really took off in the first place. There's a reason why ARGs and web series tend to stay niche internet things. Worldbuilding and mysterious lore for theory channels to latch onto are not a replacement for an actual narrative with characters and writing that people can follow. People don't give a single shit about lore if they don't have a vested interest in it to begin with; it can't get you to care about a setting the way a narrative can.
I would call TADC and company derivatives of this whole fad, sure, but I don't know if it's really gone "far enough" that you're gonna see pushback on this aspect of the show. Maybe there will be some creature that spawns out of Loreslop that'll demand the backlash it'll inevitably deserve.
 
I decided to watch the show again all at the same time to prepare myself for the film.

Holy dogwater. I like the first 4 episodes. As I expected, the 3rd one IS the best out of all of them, and the 4th one is when the shit starts to streak itself onto this show's underwear. By the end, this show is nothing but a brown exhibit for leftists to gawk at because "it's at least not Disney/Universal/Paramount!"

The main character, Pomni is as interesting as a somewhat happy looking brick. If the show focused on Jax since the start, like what it has done in the last 3 episodes, kind of, I feel it would have been WAY better. Either that, or have it so Pomni interacts with the other characters instead of these one-off therapy sessions with side characters I genuinely do not care about in the slightest, since they have no bearing to the emotions of the main character (That being Pomni, and not Jax. I know Gooseworx says that both of them are the main character, but Pomni is the literal star of the show and is the first thing you see on the thumbnails).

The one interaction that genuinely pissed me off is the one with Gangle and Zooble in episode 6. They both are talking about living with something that you don't like. While this interaction seems fitting for the two, I feel this interaction would have worked better if Gangle LITERALLY DIDN'T HAVE AN ENTIRE FUCKING EPISODE DIGGING DEEP INTO THIS AND ENDING WITH HER ACCEPTING THAT PART OF HERSELF!!! Also, having this interaction be triggered because "Gangle felt afraid of Jax" is retarded. I dunno how to describe it, but it just feels like pussy shit to trigger this entire conversation after a literal episode JUST did this.

I don't want to go on a multi-paragraph rant about how this show fails at being emotional. I genuinely liked the show better when it wasn't shoving group therapy sessions into my ass without consent and it was just Looney Tunes shit but with a bit of existential dread.

The real question is why losing your mind makes you abstract, but Kinger was able to lose his mind and never abstract.

Maybe it's not "losing your mind" but "feeling an emotion bigger than your allotted file size can handle resulting in a buffer overflow, filling your file with junk data."

A black space occasionally punctuated by eyeballs almost matches a pattern you might expect to see in that kind of scenario. Like imagine that "EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATED" is represented by thousands of occurrences of hex 001A, but when you overwrite the physical appearance data with that, 00 means pure black and 1A means "place an eyeball here."

I decided to let the guy live. Not only did I value his life when I was playing him regardless of how many monsters were chasing him, but it was the right thing to do to let the guy choose for himself whether he wanted to live or die. Maybe he'll make something cool of his life, who knows. He deserved the chance to choose.

Unfortunately its not really a choice, all you're choosing between is a slow painful death or a fast painless one, when you leave the room you take the multitool which is the only way to escape and navigate the base. Simon 2 is going to be trapped in the room until a monster breaks in and tears him appart.

Another example of someone thinking more about the show then Nooseworkx.

I am waiting for a thread to pop up about him, especially after the Theater release, I can imagine how he will lash out at the fans or crash out or who knows maybe abstr-ACK. Anyways that’s the only reason I look forward to the release of the finale…and also the reaction of the people who are coping right now about how the „leaks are fake“. They will walk in and expect a better ending that they are going to get, hopefully they will post their tears online.

Why would I need to make up some scenario in my head when the actual reason for abstractions is
1) Gooseworx has a lobotomy fetish.
2) Gooseworx has an abstract tf fetish.
Seems like a waste of both of our times.
This whole show basically turned into Gooseworx self inserting into a character and then enacting his horrible fetishes onto them.

They're terrified of being misinterpreted so they must affirm their intent as thoroughly as possible and cannot humanize people they disagree with.

When it comes to media Leftists can do nothing BUT try to interpret and twist media into whatever they desire (thanks media literacy!) so when they make stuff themselves they always need to assure the audience of their exact intent because they don't want to fall victim to their own techniques.

I just wish I knew Gooseworx was transgender before I watched the pilot years ago. I never would've bothered. It's hilarious to me that failure got fired from McDonald's for showing up late too many times. The definition of privileged, he got a handout for being in the right community as trans. I suspect he'll never work again after this.

Goosetroon worked at McDonald's? Sad that I didn't saw him, or else I could've called the triple K mafia to stop him from EPI'ing kids.

oh my fucking god, the episode where ribbonjeet took everyone to work at mcdonal was more fucking projection.
Was there anything in this tranny freakshow that wasn't Nooseworx projection or fetish?
 
Oilspill Battery powiedział(a):
hello i give 0 fucks around this show other than the drama surrounding it, so i dont know what the plot is about other than its some people trapped in vr chat, can you explain whats wrong with this ending relative to the rest of the story

why does pulling a black mirror cookie/soma ruin the story

The show was simply not built for this type of twist and does nothing with it.

In SOMA the twist is just the beginning of the real story and puts the player through heavy existential horror over their life and the fate of humanity, escalating over time.

In TADC the twist is literally told at the start of the final episode with no fanfare, then it literally has Jax die out nowhere and the whole movie becomes about understanding his trauma and accepting his death, only to ends with a dead character resurrecting and having the main cast watch a literal powerpoint presentation explaining they are actually fine and happy in real life and this is wholesome good end.

It's such a nonsensical mess of contradicting themes.

Them being brainscans and finding out their real selves adds nothing. There was no time for existential horror nor time to come to terms with your digital life. You could remove that line and that final scene and it's an improvement because it would make clear that the point is that it never mattered. If the point of the show was to "find meaning in stagnant life" then why would you do this?

It's like it the only exists for the sake of shutting up the theorists and so the fandom can't say they didn't answer anything.

As for what I meant is that there’s a lot of people who pitch cartoons. Like, a LOT a lot. Thousand a year, and every one of these young and bright eyed upstarts think their passion project is totally awesome and will be a hit among hits that will usher them into stardom where they get to create what they want all day every day. But that’s far from the case: the overwhelming majority of shows are awful on the pitch phase, and many times even the original pilot is bad. Any show you’ve ever seen ever went through hundreds of revisions, redevelopments, and refinement, often with producers and other hired help to make it into the show it was at the end. Yes, some shows get butchered in some ways, but the majority of them are a vast improvement and often times when they’re still bad, it just shows how much work was needed. The successful creators are the ones that learn what mechanics and structures need to be present in show and aren’t afraid to take notes and criticism constructively. Often times when I see indies or meet indie creators, they think their vision is paramount and nothing could ever be wrong with it and the shows and scripts and designs you end up seeing are all garbage as a result. Many of the people at glitch are the ones who didn’t learn this, didn’t succeed, and are now jaded and thing the issue was the system and not their lack of critical ability. I could go into greater detail, but that would be better suited for a different thread or a DM as a lot of it is stuff normal people have no interest in learning about.

If you really genuinely think your passion project is one of a kind masterpiece that will resonate with people and you refuse to accept executive medling in your perfect vision, then write a book or draw a comic and publish it online.

Its one thing to think you're special, its another to think you're so special that you need 300 underpaid slaves to give form to your will in one of the most exploitative and expensive mediums there is.
 
I just find it insane how leftist TADC fans genuinely believe that goonworx is a racist and that’s why they can’t like him. Just because some faggot voice actor said Nega that makes troonworx racist, it so retarted. Instead of criticising the disgusting fetishes that pop up in the show or just criticising the writing ( which to be fair I saw people be upset at that ) they chose the weakest point ever.

I have to be honest, this show could’ve been something really cool and I think the pilot somewhat showed that. A lot of things were somewhat interesting, I mean the adventures for one were always pretty fun the candy kingdom and the haunted house were cool setings. Yeah the lorebaiting was kind of annoying but things like the mystery around Kinger and his whole role in the circus could have been a decent plot point or some kind of twist. Again this show had its moments the episode where Pommi and Kinger are in the haunted house alone and talk was a decent moment. But the thing is you need this kind of thing a lot more than what 5 episodes or less. Or the whole thing that Caine manipulates people into abstr-ACK-ing would’ve been a decent concept too.
But that’s the thing it WOULD have been neat but in reality it was all just wasted potential as a previous post called it “the potential show“.

It’s such a shame that we had to sit there and see how the story originally about Pomni turns into Jax story. I honestly thought that Jax is supposed to represent the "chuds“ he is an asshole, misogynist, anti social and I would have said transphobe ( because of the whole dress thing and how much he hated it and I thought it was some kind of revenge fantasy for Nooseworx ). But NO Jax actually is a representation of Mr. Goonworx which has to be so telling about him as a person ( And maybe sucide announcement if we look at how Jax ended up ).

I feel kind of stupid that I care enough to write this post but hey whatever, and I have to give praise to the music the music is pretty lit.
