i think it's clear most media suddenly depicting previously attractive female characters as now ugly creaturas is made with the main goal of not letting men have anything
they're upset that men find something attractive, they want it taken away in any way possible
factors like the "empowerment" of ugly chicks or appealing to people who genuinely find this stuff appealing are at best minor secondary goals and at most just false stated causes, the reality is that something about guys enjoying anything at all, having a single good experience, ever even smiling and going "i like that" without their approval fills them with unprecedented anger and they need to take control and undo it

It's ragebait. It's done because it works. The reason Selma got season 2 wasn't because of some conspiracy cabal, it's simply that everybody wouldn't shut up about it and everybody decided to check it out for themselves, or wanted to farm clicks online from them ranting about it. FFS, this is even better encapsulated with the Minecraft movie, which is a movie everybody ANTICIPATED to suck, yet everybody went out to watch it regardless and it ended up earning almost a billion dollars at the box office in the process.

At the current internet attention economy, it is very hard to bring attention to anything good, that isn't a recognizable, pre-established IP. Cynical bias is extremely strong online and the only way to overpower it, is to feed into it. Either by appealing to the nostalgia of the "better days" or as mentioned previously... making something shit on purpose. And even if a unique IP manages to break through like Squid Games or Among Us, you best bet that the name and the reputation of the brand will absolutely get butchered by the content farms.

There is no conspiracy... it's just business as usual. It's outrage consumerism - Don't ask questions, get angry. The more angry you get, the more attention shit content gets, the more it makes money. Profitable trick going as far back as reality television like "Meet the Kardashians". Fortunately, a few people are beginning to wake up to that fact.

I will not see the movie.webp Ragebait.webp

ah, this new meme, yes i've seen this one and fact of the matter is that none of them mean it, it's just a performance these people arent "enlightened" and don't bite the bait, the act of pretending not to care IS both the bait and the participation in it
these people say this because not caring suddenly became cool, but their mind isn't truly free, they're coping a corporation is seeing their post and crying, and then many of them still go and buy

4chan is like most of the web full of NPCs who have no internal train of thought and thus can't actually reach the logic that not doing something is for their benefit and if you observe their behavior patterns you'll see how this is no different than the usual mindless speaking
as evident by the fact that this meme lasted like a week when the whole catalog was full of the shame dumb wojak image, and suddenly it's abscent again because the meme ran it's course so now they're back to the same consumption behaviors

I miss the pre-franchise dollar stores and their hilarious copyright breaking merchandise, just for the sake of looking at the goofy bootlegs. Winnie the Pooh was popular for some reason.

A friend of mine went thrifting and found one of those Guy Fieri flame button-down shirts, he got home and realised it's even funnier because on the back it says "Number 1 Racist"

No doubt he is the type to get mad at the fact that most Warhammer fans like the video games or books and not the actual tabletop game.

Very very late I know but the tabletop game is an active detriment to Warhammer and if GW were smart they'd be pushing their plastic crack by collabing with minipainters and trying to push it as an aesthetic thing. Maybe start selling pre painted minis for a 500% markup, people would buy them.

Very short-sighted. Sell the minis as-is, and sell garbage-tier paints and supplies with Warhammer branding at absurd markups.

It wouldn't be GW is it weren't shortsighted and totally braindead. Hell I think like 75% of their business model is wait years for something to get big and then try to bilk them with a bullshit lawsuit, they probably make more money off that these days than they do actually selling product.
 
Now that I finally lurked the thread, seeing a lot of things that I have an issue with being addressed almost two years ago makes me feel less dystopian, many thanks. With that out of the way, has anyone mentioned the insanity of makeup hauls? I only have very minimal makeup I use only when I go out but I keep getting confused because "you're supposed to have a whole cabinet of makeup" ? for what? Makeup expires, there's no way any of those tiktok girlies use all that makeup they show, it expires unless they're just reapplying makeup in their homes multiple times a day which sounds insane.

A good example I found by just searching makeup haul on tiktok (this is my first time attaching a video so sorry if it fucks up the format):


dumb side note: am I the only one who hates this constant "tapping" and "show off with the hand behind" shit everyone keeps doing even with mundane things like food? Why???

It's to make the camera focus on the item. Or that's why people used to do it.
I couldn't watch the video, what I saw it looks like she's going to stock a small store display.

I thought the idea was indeed that. That they apply makeup for everything, including something as minor as driving to the gas station... If they're poor or a teenager with limited funds, they'll just use expired makeup, or do other unhygienic things like borrowing used lipstick from relatives and friends (which does lead to their face not aging gracefully, making them even more reliant on makeup). At times I think such heavy usage of makeup goes way beyond just looking pretty, but being obsessed with the process of applying it, as I fail to see why trying to imitate the look of a drag queen is supposed to be attractive to men.

And for whatever reason, this seems to be particularly bad amongst Latinas and Russian women.

Thread tax, does using cheesy RGB lighting for shelves make a consoom collection more pathetic, or can it make it look better?

I think it looks kinda neat, but more in like a "store display after closing hours" kinda neat. In fact, I'm pretty sure some local stores back in the 2000s-early 2010s did this with the glass counter display stuff at night.

If by "selma" you mean "velma" then it wasn't because of a conspiracy or people watching it. They were already making season 2 by the time season 1 released. A lot of shows the last several years networks tried pushing did that where they are already doing shit and then go "oh it just got greenlit for series 2 guys we're a success!" in a really suspiciously short timeframe. Movies do that too, the live action stitch being the most recent example thought hat one was somewhat of a success due to being didney and outrage baiting.
