Hey so I know Bong Weezing is funny or whatever but "capitalism + industrialisation = environmental impact" is probably the least funny thing to throw in my face, I hate this?
Right, like. I can acknowledge it's historically/regionally appropriate, so I GET that. What I don't know is if I'm just triggered or if making a collectible critter out of something that serious is actually in bad taste or if it's a good way to make a point or if I just need to stop thinking about it (the last one, I know, I know.)
I mean, Raile, even if it is an effective design, that doesnt mean you have to have a good reaction to it. Triggers are triggers and what's encouraging for some people is allowed not to be encouraging for you. It's not a black and white answer
Also god Luc I can intellectually agree you're right but my brain super wants to make this Lorax 2: Everyone Is Wrong For Having Fun boogaloo. Although I'm a lot more Aware of it now so really this is that "trust no one, not even yourself" meme but with a frowning rat and it just keeps repeating infinitely, The Last Jedi style.
Weezing wasn't great, no, but I'd gotten kind of used to it, and toxic gasses occur naturally too so as long as I kinda avoided that one NPC in Celadon I was relatively okay
I ALSO WANNA POINT OUT i'm not saying it's a good or bad idea either way bc you know what raile i'm no numerologist or whatever you'd need to be to quantify that BUT YOU'RE ALLOWED TO BE FREAKED OUT EITHER WAY
I'm relatively neutral on the badgers because I'm just like "you guys are REALLY riding the success of the Zoroark style biped design huh" but also I actually REALLY LIKE that aesthetic so whoops joke's on me
i cackled by the time i got to the end of your two cents raile bc when I first saw neutral I was like but tell us how you Really feel and them there we were ahahahaha
sorry for the stressful new reveals. :[ i know how it is getting tossed into something ppl rly enjoy in a canon development that's just your own personal hellscape so my condolences
Yeah it definitely sounds super unpleasant. Hopefully the immediate hype dies down after a bit so social media becomes a bit less of a minefield for you.
But yeah crossing my fingers for you. I legit think it's hilarious but like they said, it can be a great design and still be your personal hellscape and you're allowed to be frustrated about it tbh
Two things: one, you're allowed to be bothered by something, it's okay. Two, I saw something about Weezing in the description that might make you feel a little better, I think? Do you want me to mention it or just not talk about it at all.
Honestly for now I think just... don't talk about it. I'm gonna probably try to disengage and play Cookie Run for a while. I hadn't even had any meds when I opened Twitter and got blasted in the face so I'm pretty shaky.
this is all very understandable and echoing everyone who said you can still be upset or set off by a thing even if it's fine for other people, that's not dumb, it's just your brain
Sorry they. Literally made a pokemon your trigger though
