I say this sincerely that consumers deserve an media entertainment crash and be deprived of it for 10 years.

Yeah all of these libs who tell me we wouldn't have TV or video games if we have communism... Like honestly maybe everyone just needs books and like little indie games at best, for at least a little while. Mfers need a breather
That sounds like heaven tbh
Does this also inclue banning YouTube slop and other video sharing websites (usually made by fascists because they claim they're being censored by the communists who run Google)?
But what will they do without their battle passes and log in "bonuses" and ongoing continual pressure to trade up for the next season of slop and restart the process over again? :AgonyMadden:
a pox upon all "live service" games
having no new entertainment media for ten years would be genuinely better than the current entertainment media being produced
Like honestly maybe everyone just needs books
remembers that "Misery" exists and that "fans" of anything can be somewhat deranged

Misery Hobbling scene reaction
I have heard of people doing heinous things over books. Remember the early to mid 2000s, with the Twilight Books?
Wasn't that after the first movies was announced/released?
TTRPGs and board games. Books and printed comics on occasion.

Do people not know what acting is
Some gamboheads wished death and suffering to the actor that played Tyrion, so some don't. 
It gets even weirder when some pieces of shit use the pretense of acting to be pieces of shit, such as Justin Roiland getting drunk and abusing and creeping on people to "get into character."
EDIT: I think I meant Joffrey, not Tyrion. Been a while since I had to unwillingly absorb gambo slop by proximity, thank goodness.
Yeah the gambo thing is the first place my brain went seeing the post. Can't believe a bunch of dumb psychos chased a talented actor out of the profession.
The Szechuan Sauce Riots made me hate Richard and Mortimer even more than I previously did, too. 
I feel bad for the kid who played Joffry
Yeah that was the one. I think I named the wrong quippy smirking murderfucker character that time.
And imagine that in show he's portrayed somewhat more positively than in books.
Tyrion? Yeah. Tyrion is very whitewashed in the show with many of his flaws from the books removed to be more of an explicitly heroic character.
Joffrey? No. He's somewhat flanderized in the show, though I think part of that is Jack Gleason just being that good at acting that he makes him more hateable than ever. But monsterous acts that dont happen in the books happen in the show. And the sympathetic background of him being a product of abuse isnt really gone into as much in the show.
Not Tyrion, Joffrey. A lot of people talking about him being a monster in the book got cut in the show just as most of his random acts of madness and cruelty, they left only those that have direct impact on the what remained of the plot in show. He also had a moment of two where he came in close distance to touching the grass to which he didn't came close even if we count in AU in the book. And the only act of random cruelty they added in the show was to murder the most boring and needless filler character which actually greatly improved the show.
Also i never said he was sympathetic, he wasn't. Just in the show he was only 75% of crazy monster he was in book, so maybe better words would be "not as horrible" than "more positively".
About Gleeson... i don't know. He played him great, but his appearance was all wrong, he supposed to look and keep the official behaviour like prince charming from the fairytale (at least when he was watched over, and it wasn't just Sansa opinion), though even short acquantaince with him shattered this illusion fast. But in the show he even looked like the inbred maniac he was.
The fact that Robert beat and neglected him and Cersei is... Cersei and he's still a child did give me some degree of sympathy for him tbh.
I agree that Gleason wasnt book accurate in that way, but he did effectivly make him more hateable I think.
there is no shared reality any more, so probably not
On the DVD commentary of Stanley Kubrick's "Spartacus" (1960), the screenwriter laments during one scene that Americans sometimes don't understand the difference between an actor and the character they play, and then further laments that America elected a "second rate actor" as president (referring to Reagan).
I'll see if I can find the video.
These days they even elect gameshow hosts
They're fans. It's short for "fanatic," isn't it?
Fandoms can be toxic and horrible, especially at their fringes. I wouldn't say they weren't "true" fans as much as they were toxic chud fans, which tend to roll around some franchises in particular like pigs in shit.
For example, it's hard for me to enjoy 40k much of the time if I'm out in the general fandom public and have to hear blue curtained enthusiasm for space fascism and its associated death cults.
Dire hards ruin everything. From tv to religion.
disagree, being a die hard for an ideology, religion, or even fandom doesn't mean you end up being a murderous sociopath. thats just what happens when people don't balance it out with actual like, sympathy, and morality, or just social interaction with people outside of their bubble
I think it's more murderous sociopaths tend to be die hards and ruin it for everyone.
Dire hard?? O_o
(I know this meant die hard, I just thought it was a fun typo)
i only know 2 languages english and bad english. Lol
I know only English. Japanese fell by the wayside once I started at Australian schools, I think my Russian is actually better than my Japanese now
Oops made a duplicate thread and then saw this.
Yeah, this is unhinged and upsetting. But I absolutely saw it coming because Abby's voice actress got harassed too. People hate Abby to such an absurd extent.
Why? I think I got a bit of a celebrity crush on her
