@lookitmychicken completely unrelated to the topic of the cut, that clip kinda gave me a sensory glimpse of promotion period life. Like how much of their day they spend with whole music performances vibrating in through the walls.
Like living next to a nightclub. lol
I dunno. Like, I probably should have thought of that before. But that clip really just underscored it with them just being casual as muffled sirens and musics fill the air.
@lookitmychicken I can see why that would be an underlying motive in an industry — and especially an event — where being the new now moment is paramount. (And I also agree that TH isn’t that.)
And if I squint really hard, I can *maybe* grant that he *possibly* thought he was complimenting them in industry terms.
But damn couldn’t he at least have tried to make it sound like they weren’t a just commodity to him?
@lookitmychicken it is a thought. I don’t have much in the way of strong opinions wrt most of them on that front, but also I don’t watch as much of their reality/variety as many Stays do.
That said, the performing arts tend to disproportionately attract us. And that seems to not be limited to any specific culture.
With that in mind, there are eight of them. On numbers alone… My napkin math says: I’d be surprised if Felix was alone.
@lookitmychicken It's occasionally funny when people are like: But no... that doesn't mean... They could be saying...
And I'm standing there like: "No, that's exactly the sort of thing we say in mixed company. I dunno what to tell you? Plausible deniability saves lives?" :blobcatfingerguns:
And honestly, the thing with Felix wasn't even as subtle as all that. At least, what I'm thinking of. It just wasn't an official-like publicly issued statement.
@are0h in my experience, that sort of shouting has less to do with helping people adopt software that *may* suit their needs better, and more about the sense of superiority. The “I know better” of it.
I say this for 2 reasons. 1. Everything you just said. 2. The speed with which some of these same people will go from: “you using this software is of absolute importance to protect your rights as a user.” To: “actually you deserve to be exploited by your software if you don’t switch.”
Btw, I was recently like, the first person a baby Stay Stayed at. It was adorable. :blobcataww:
(I also explained concepts like main dancer and such, bc she’s pretty new to KPop outside of basic cultural osmosis. I suspect her bias is Hyunjin, but I won’t assume.)
@lookitmychicken oh there’s plenty of performative shouting. :blobcatfingerguns: but I’m guessing you already know that
But also, good point. I’d somewhat forgotten the rules, but more importantly was thinking in terms of horny discussion and possibly some art. (The art is why the rules forgetting was relevant.)
I hadn’t considered video visualization materials. :blobcatthink: mixed media hornyposting? :blobcatgiggle:
