    I want new stuff. Please.

    Also I want all IP to end, full stop. Which is a position I take literally in reaction to the overreach of existing cultural imperialism and therefor literally reactionary but I don’t care, I’m just sick of it all.

    Stop making the same shit. Stop making corporate “art”. Stop turning everything into advertisements. Give me art you cowards. Last new movie someone convinced me to see was Us, which was at least new, but it felt like someone trying to do political art in a universe where that’s never existed before and was just bafflingly bad if you try to take it on any terms other than a popcorn horror flick, which isn’t what it was supposed to be I don’t think.

    edit: And no I am not just salty Dragon’s Dogma 2 kinda sucked and if it doesn’t get an expansion like Dark Arisen for 1, to fix all the same problems in the base game Dark Arisen fixed for 1, I am also salty about that, I hate IP much more deeply than the one disappointment :p

      If you end IP then it makes everything public domain and would lead to MORE adaptions not less.

      Which is why I want that to happen lmao sicko-jammin

      ETA: Anyway I’m an art maximalist and I want stuff like this and totally new stuff to exist so I dont get angry at the stuff like this I get angry they arent making new stuff. Totally separate struggles to me.

        That’s the thing tho - folk art is usually interesting even when it’s shit. IP has turned movies into billion dollar ads, mass merchandising, a literal tool of war.

        Creative commons and reuse culture figures all you want, but rip that shit from the hands of the corporate state.

        Also hell I like the setting of the Dresden Files but Jim Butcher is a misogynist and self-insert dweeb who FINALLY came out the the big climax book and not only was it just as disappointing as it could only have been because there were so many damn threads to the universe that have been discarded or shredded over the years and you need dozens of writers to start sewing the tapestry back together. . . It was just the worst actual writing he’s done since the first one.

        Dresden Files for the people! Some of us will do something better with it and I can just skip the stuff that’s not at least interestingly worse.

        SCP, as someone who was real into it back when I was also a shitty 4chan kid, fell off, and started to love it again as a new crop of writers have come to the universe, is my go to example of folk art fucking rules even when it’s bad, and a lot of SCP is just awful and childish (most the 4chan shit has been rewritten or purged unless you go browsing the revision history of like SCP-420 tho. … it was just some transphobic ‘jokes’ about Bridgette, that’s the SCP)

        Lovecraft is prolly like this if you find good segments of the community, but I’ve never met a mythos fan I liked IRL and most the games just don’t scratch an itch for me. Some do, Dredge for example. Also Lovecraft himself is basically "what if a tumbler nazi poet who had some real grating “favourite word"s but people take him seriously?” and I jsut find it real hard to get passed that because I started with a collected works of Lovecraft book as my intro to it all. Everything he did has been done better, I don’t particularly credit him even when the idea was blatantly just to redo his story.
