The current list is constantly being added to, and so release from this obligation may never truly arrive. Currently it stands as follows, if you would like a sort of preview:

Fruit Fucker
The food court dragon
Rex Ready
L. H. Franzibald
CTS
Twisp & Catsby
Jim
K-Reazy

"Tag urself," etc.

His other contention was that it might simply be rage-bait, and he was hesitant to be baited into rage. I'm open to these ideas, certainly. Let's deal with the second one first: I think it's incredibly silly stuff. And what's more, rage-bait has a way of becoming canonized, calcified, because the revolution must always act at the edge - the frontier - where experimental rhetoric bakes into ideology. Whether it's meant authentically or not, goofball adherents have already internalized it. It's simply a premonition of some future battle. As for the first contention, that we don't want to inadvertently glorify it, well, you tell me. I'd be surprised if it did!

I shared it over on my Bluesky but wanted to make sure it got posted here as well.

Even The Smurfs were considered a monstrous affront - not only the sorcerer Gargamel, but the "demonic" Smurfs used magic as well! My mother had a book called Turmoil In The Toybox which she used as a kind cultural baleen to winnow the (sacred) wheat from the (profane) chaff, because sometimes you gotta look really really hard at toys in order to figure out why they're bad and that's why it's somebody's full-time job. You might think My Little Pony is about horse dolls, but what these wanton mares actually do is seize daughters nationwide and corrupt them into hellbound sluts.

Sometime late next week, perhaps. No? That's probably not going to happen? Alright. Well, I had to try.

It sounds like Gabe has some serious competition in this arena and should - until further notice - make his enemies start his jeep. Just until things cool down.

Quarantine sorta permanently broke the theatre habit for Gabe I think, though he'll occasionally lurch out of his cavern for something his larvae might be interested in. By comparison, there are people in my neighborhood's younger cadre who are, like, members of AMC Stubs and shit. They love going to the Goddamn movies. And I'd bet that a strong part of the take for films like Obsession and Backrooms - which Gabriel will not be seeing - are people who were essentially robbed of the ritual because a actual horror movie was taking place worldwide.

I sometimes try to determine which performance I like least, but the answer is something I apparently have to build from first principles every time. They're utter duplications of the other, arguably manufactured by each other; sometimes they can even switch sides successfully. It's a personality type, as near as I can tell, trailed by a velvet cape of adherents. On the one side, you've got young people becoming old people, desperate to outrun their Something Awful posting history by pledging allegiance to… themselves, I guess. And on the other side, you've got people who get irrationally angry when they see an A cup. You know? It's the, uh… it's the fight of the century.
