That relatable (older) Gen Z memory: when all the projectors and white boards got replaced by Smart Boards™ around like fifth grade and none of the teachers knew how to use them but they Had To Use them otherwise the school just wasted a bunch of money and it was a rlly weird transition
an addition: when they calibrated the board by pressing the dots and everyone in class lost their minds
Also when teachers seemed to battle over who got the laptop cart
I have no idea what the fuck is going on with the critics, but the fact that in both Venom and Bohemian Rhapsody the critic consensus was extremely different to the public opinion says a lot.
cos critics don’t like anything gay
every negative review of bohemian rhapsody i’ve heard and read so far has actually specifically mentioned that it is a shallow and offensive reading of freddie’s life and identity in large part because of its gay-shaming depiction of his sexuality as being little more than a partying vice he was lured into by stereotypically predatory producers. critics felt that the film was the surviving members of queen’s revenge on freddie for still being the most iconic element of their band’s collaboration. critics do often miss the mark of what makes a movie enjoyable for general audiences (though that’s not typically what they’re analyzing or who they’re writing for) but this is one where it would behoove you to actually read the reviews before casting a judgment. you’ll find that this time they’re in agreement with you.
I was reading a post about character design and I was really digging it until it said this
No offense but this is whack ass advice. Good characters don’t have to be relatable. Sometimes the best characters are the characters you relate to the least. Undertale is a great example of having unrelatable and strange but fantastic and enjoyable characters.
Papyrus for example, is a fandom favorite but I rarely see people call him relatable. He’s a lanky, narcissistic skeleton who’s incredibly dumb and naive, but he’s very caring and loving, always trying to motivate others and do the best for everyone. What’s endearing about him is his personality and his design. It’s very strange but charming and you rarely see a character that has a massive ego BUT is also very caring to the well being of others.
Hell good characters don’t have to be likable, just interesting and well rounded. Making your character cookie cutter and bland for the sake of not looking like a “special snowflake” is trash advice. It limits creativity and is overall just really pretentious.
So make your pink-purple-blue haired goth who wears nothing but hot topic gear, as long as their interesting and endearing, it doesn’t matter!
Condition your teacher to get the fuck out of the class
Think about this in the context of performing feminity. So many women deny that they have been influenced to shave, wear makeup, wear heels, etc and claim they do it for themselves. But when you are receiving compliments and are getting treated better when you do those things, you are definitely being influenced.
