Sweet Baby's primary "sales pitch" consists of pulling the marketing group out to lunch and then regaling them with horror stories of the massive unrelenting social media cancelling they're going to get if they don't kiss the pastel-rainbow ring. literal protection racket tactics. "nice little project youse got heah, darn shame if somethin' bad happened to it on da twittaz."
@Moon oh now you're just being silly, Pocahontas is actually shit because musicals live or die on the quality of their songs and its songs are tryhard garbage.
@feld@Moon Choi Bounge is Freddy's Korean knockoff. In the nearly literal sense, too. SNK changed his costume design at the last minute so they wouldn't get their asses sued.
@Moon@mu@waifu "gacha" is named after the Japanese sound-word for a gumball-style machine spitting out a random item, because that's basically what it is.
