you know those little critical thinking questions that they had at the end of short stories in literature textbooks? we should start putting those in posts. i miss them,,,,,,
questions:
what call to action is the author arguing for?
why does this work lack capitalization? what might this tell you about the author? what might this tell you about the context this work is meant to be read in?
is the addition of the questions self referential? does that make this post humorous? how so? how would the post be different without the addition of the questions?

my favourite annual discourse is when Deeply Serious paranormal people go "this time aliens really are real. wow. everyone should be talking about this!" and without fail it's the fakest thing you've ever seen
i'm fascinated by a possible deeper meaning of the goncharov meme where years of fatigue and resentment for shitty fandom-bait blockbusters, support for martin scorsese following the attempts of marvel bootlickers to turn him into a bogeyman after he criticized them very accurately one time, the gradual reclamation of "film bro" cinema on this website (an effort led in my anecdotes primarily by trans mascs who get #gender from robert de niro), and years worth of blueprints for discourse and bickering over reducing artistically deep media to ship-bait have coalesced into this exact moment where we are basically desperate to manifest a brand new early-career marty movie into existence like a tulpa
I love vague labels that make people go "but that's confusing" or "but that could mean anything" Good. Keep guessing lol

seeing people my age spend significant amounts of time winding themselves up about bewildering fandom opinions is just like. man. you don’t even need to go outside or touch grass. maybe just take a break and read one (1) article about actual events happening in the real world before you decide that the hill you’re going to die on is ‘it’s homophobic to kill off a single pirate on the gay pirate show, the show populated entirely by a dozen gay pirates’
