i find it fascinating the way people talk about that unused demo song from The Lorax (2012), Biggering. often people say things like “this song never made it into the movie because it criticizes corporations exactly like Illumination, so they killed it”. but if you actually listen to How Bad Can I Be?, most of the messaging of Biggering is retained! often nearly verbatim! the biggest thematic diffurence is that the new song is a little more ambiguous about the Onceler’s own moral culpability in his corruption (though it does still quite obviously paint him as corrupted by the end anyway)

capitalism is infamously more than capable enough of subsuming its own critiques and making commodities out of them. why would The Lorax have been any diffurent?

if you’re wondering if i learned of this song from that one video. yes, yes i did

ny’all, including you, @clock

there’s a lot more to say about why it’s good but i just can’t get enough of the way it portrays the joy of playing a game you are truly passionate about

chihayafuru is really, really good

i mean

you follow me here, you know that already

he can purrobably attest to the same about me though tbh

as someone who’s dealt with his shit my entire life, the thing you need to understand about @wallhackio is that he is utterly sick in the head. this is partially a compliment. but not entirely
