Was there ever a big explaination as to why he changed from Puff Daddy? Still kinda cringe in today’s terms but never as cringe as P. Diddy.

Edit: for the record, I just tried Googling it and was instantly hit with some chat gpt ass article. Specifically looking for explaination from someone who heard about it at the time or is a lore enthusiast.

See my other response to the other reply for more but yeah, I can see that. The general mythology behind how Star Wars was made is a series of ‘too good to be true’ coincidences and interruptions.

Yeah I’m not surprised. I’m always, like, in a state of suspension of disbelief when it comes to hearing about Lucas insane conceptualizations, like hearing he suggested names like ‘Darth insaneous’ or ‘Darth icky’ at points. When I heard the Vader/Father explaination I was like “this is both on the nose enough and also too cleaver to be true”

I’m gonna be that guy and point out that Vader means father in dutch. His name was always a spoiler. I’m trying to think of how you would inMaul someone but all I can think is ‘I’m gonna inmaul you mom later’

Yeah I guess there’s no accounting for the power of neophobia.

Yeah I was thinking about that. Like, these companies probably have some number of government contracts and those contracts give latitude to make some interesting demands.

I don’t actually know but I imagine it’s all voluntary. It seems like kind of an endless tail chase to constantly limit anything that could feasible be used to commit a crime. Actual counterfeiting with any success requires some pretty specialized shit. Honestly if this printer could be configured to meet those specifics them more power to them. End of the day though I wouldn’t imagine this being the gateway to massive expansions in the counterfeit market.

You know I want to say I earnestly want to give them the benefit of a doubt and that they need it pointed out that they’re just saying shit and not even realizing what they’re signing up for.

But also, like, I see a target I shoot at it. Maybe I’m not much better.

I like how you missed the point entirely. Log off and call your Mom.

You know that openly saying you want to be on a misandry list is a bad thing, right?

Even if you are trying to make an overly moralizing statement about overcorrection and overreaction, you’re still a giant asshole, you know that, right?

Edit just to make sure I cover the bases but what I’m trying to say is you would be way more well off not commenting, I just need you to know that was always an option.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say there’s some weird projection happening here because there is no way whatsoever that has anything to do with unattractive entitled people. Words mean things, and you need to review what it is you’re trying to cpmmunicate here.

I have a base, flat amount of respect for anyone who is willing to speak out and call nazis nazis. Right now there’s a literal dark money fountain available to people who want to defend Israel, for instance, and anyone who isn’t taking that and still willing to ragebait probably isn’t 100% terrible. And real talk hatesubs are not real. That’s some wild conspiracy stuff. If they are, then fuck it, get that bag. Flat respect who can get people to pay to say how much they hate your titties on a platform where you’ll be instantly squuelched and still take your money.

I’m just here promoting real, sane, criticism.

What does this even mean?

I mean I’m not disagreeing. If anything I hate Reddit more for being a crushing echo chamber that takes people who might have a good thing going and turning them into steralized, nonfunctional content monsters.

I do think it’s a time will tell kind of thing. Even SrGrapho just sort of fell into a hole where he was doing OC nudes and has yet to make a decent meme format in a decade.

Pizzacake could be better but I don’t mind that she’s taking on nazi’s and right wing weirdos who can’t help but lose their shit over titties and even the gentlest of criticisms. And refer to the first paragraph but there isn’t a single reddit community I would take the word of at face value.

Personally I think at the beginning thely were cute, funny, and at bare minimum I give bonus points to anyone starting out trying to do something rather than listen to di guses who think that there’s a hard baseline for content.

But I do think she became some sort of Reddit beast that got stuck in a flattery eddie off to the side of the R/ALL tributary and stopped getting meaningful criticism and it hurt a lot of her output and growth.

And yet she still has more talent and entertainment value then a bunch of slackjawed comment troglydites with the most incredibly iroic sense of mediocre.
