Can you help me understand what’s interesting about vtubers? Someone I knew was really into it, but watched a vtuber for a few minutes once and absolutely did not understand the appeal.

loved your essay man, thanks for sharing that. Your bit about how rejecting our society as it is can only be understood as pathology hit me hard.

Gotta read that, just finished the actual novel and I love some of junji itos work, this should be great

[–] rephlekt2718@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is this junji itos frankenstein?

Not sure if his other stuff is good, but collapsing empire and consuming fire are not great, wouldnt recommend. Just felt like he had to pump out some books for a contract or something.

Anybody got the whole article? Blocked from reading the entire thing unless I start a 7 day free trial, lol

thanks for this, seems like the most reasonable take.

This is a tricky situation, since I wouldn’t want anyone to rely on external validation for their self-esteem, but here I think it’s OK to lean into the probability that your friends probably aren’t lying to you, and that you might have some internal monologue that’s hurting you.

Oh shit, that sounds pretty cool actually

That’s a perfect example, since I personally didn’t care about the references, it wasn’t for me. But I bet it was a trip for you, and that’s great! So no worries on whether a popular piece of art doesn’t resonate for you, it’s just not on your wavelength.
