It feels weird being a punk and a fan of marketing based entertainment.
There isn't really a solution. Like I could lean into it, but then I'm just seeing my favourite characters as a colection of traits. When you do that, you can't really buy to encourage what you actually want. 'Make them complex' can't really be put into simple terms. I don't really care what traits characters have for the most part. Well, I do have certain tastes. I can't deny that. However, saying that I'll like a character just because they have one of two traits I like isn't really a concept that gels with me. I think that in the wrong hands Paradox Princess Violet could be terrible. I could totally see a non violent version of her sucking. Fortuanly I don't have to create her for parents so she'll forever be safe form that.
It is debatable how much of a punk I am anyway. After all, I just listen to my dad's old reckords. Sometimes I skate with does break some taboos. Oh, look at me, doing exercise. So shocking. Really, I'm kind of a poser.
I'm still want to rebel. I feel like there is a lot wrong in the world. I want to break free of this world. It has so many problems like war, racism and so on. Sometimes I feel a little pathetic going on here to rant about entertainment. Not as pathetic as people who go around looking for people who hate characters they like then complain that they've found people who dislike those characters but still. Still what can I do? The most people will listen to me on is what my favourite colour and pointless things like that. I'm just a kid. I have no barganing power.
Even here I don't have any power. Not really. I could say to send gore to all Misty fans and you wouldn't actually do it.
So I suppose it doesn't really matter and we're going to die. If I was of age, I'd probably down a beer now. I just might do that anyway.
I don't even know why I care. Punk is dead. Long live the system.
