If I'm remembered for anything by anyone, I wanna be remembered for the times I made people happy, the times I made people smile. Because making other people happy, makes me happy too ❤️

a lot of new age fandom types dont actually like their games or shows or authors for what they are.
instead, they spent years building their ideal version of their interest in their heads and get unreasonably angry and whiny and petulant when they dont get exactly what they want.
they confuse the author doing what they want for THEIR story as a flaw. fandom behavior nowadays is inspired by controversies of buggy game releases and news of rushed show production stories and how fan complaints could "fix" things like the Sonic Movie redesign.
so now they are confident that THEIR opinion and THEIR feedback is objectively true and MUST be listened too, otherwise the author is incompetent, or even worse, a bad person.
this is what happens when fandoms encourage EVERYONE to stay in them for as long as possible, and then years ago by and people just cant move on from something they once liked, but dont anymore, because they have an incentive to stay in a community for reasons OTHER than liking the thing: social bonds, friends and support groups, attention, or money if you make content off the thing.
it can get to the point that the author doing literally anything further than what they've released already will be met with hostility and riducule by "fans", because it screws up the delicate ecosystem of lore and headcanons and fanon characterization they've built up for themselves, because to them, the fandom is more important than the creator of the thing they are fans of themselves.
tl;dr: screw modern fandom culture, focus on being kind instead of angry, enjoy what you enjoy and if you dont, move on to other things that you DO actually like instead of being bitter and resentful as if you being a fan of something entitles you to what it should be like.

In Fahrenheit 451, the chief book-burner, Captain Beatty, describes how reading became obsolete because the public demanded increasingly fast-paced entertainments, and those entertainments slowly corroded their ability to think. “Books cut shorter. Condensations. Digests, tabloids. Everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending. Classics cut to fit fifteen-minute radio shows, then cut again to fill a two-minute book column … Many were those whose sole knowledge of Hamlet was a one-page digest in a book that claimed, ‘Now at last you can read all the classics.’ … School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches?”
In this passage Ray Bradbury foretells the intellectual hollowing out of the working class, the advent of AI-generated “summaries” of classic novels, the attention-frying culture of short-form video, the relaxation of educational standards into non-existence. All of this in a book published in 1953.

realized last month there’s a generation of gamers who’ve only grown up with live service games

Remember when Halo Infinite replaced the classic multiplayer announcer callout “Suicide!” with “Self-Destruction!”? Another example of 343 Industries trying too hard to be politically correct. Halo never needed to be sanitized like this.

Blind. They don't glorify him. They simply understand him. Anakin is relatable because the generation coming up now is in a similar position to him.
They're told they're a force for change while also being spoken down to and demeaned by their elders. Theyre also told they're a problem by those elders who have allowed culture to decay for decades. On top of that, emotions like love become harder and harder to express due to the decline in social interaction. Anakin wasn't allowed to love. Anakin wasn't socialized. Anakin was told he was a problem and spoken to like he was untrustworthy while also being told he's the best guy they've got. I dont think most people want to be Anakin Skywalker. But I do think many young men relate to him and that's a cultural failure. Not their failure.

it’s clear as day u’ve never experienced yearning from the way u romanticize it. u don’t know how it feels like to wake up every morning a little bit more dead inside, to devote urself to someone unavailable just to be left alone while they move on seamlessly. that shit kills u

why would you willingly want to go through something that makes you feel actively suicidal 😭
