    No, no, no! I won't be satisfied unless Bog Iger forces you at gunpoint to go watch every one of their woke stories! :ramen:

    Time truly is a flat circle :lmao:

    Switch "politically correct" with "woke" and this screed may as well have been written yesterday and not 2001

    Keep up the false narrative so you can make excuses wanting to harm kids and cutting off their genitalia.

    Course, you're never going to hear the "go woke, go broke" crowd go "our evil is destroyed!! We're dying....we're dying...:cry:".
    No, they're just gonna dust off, and go "well...well what about this thing huh? :calli:".

    You forget we ddo hear that all the time. We end up tuning it out like you tune out a toddler who forgot why they were crying. If you listen to the snowflake CHUDs I am destroying everything that is good and holy in the world. It is all destroyed because I am a fascist goddess who is super overpowered and I am throwing @Uncle Albert in FEMA concentration camps for not using the right pronouns. @Amaris made america a communist nation under twilight sparkle. That is really not true, because if I could do that I fucking would. But in their words I am rthat uber powerful and have transed their world to death.

    Since their world is evil they have admitted defeat already, but they are still here whining and stomping around by my divine grace, and I have absolutely none of that fucking shit. Seriously, if it wasn't for the social contract and going to prison I would have given them the fire and destruction they whine about.

    Oh, right, the Giza pyramid sized pile of right-wing apocalypses that never happened.
    Like when "Pink Flamingos" "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and MSG made the country majority gay, and the population plunged down to negative decimal places, and none of us are here now.

    Kids being strapped down against their will, and a mad scientist out of an old Hammer movie comes out with a cleaver, and lops their bits off while the kid screams "mommy no!! Mommy nooo!! :cry:"?
    Yeah, I don't think so. :no:
    "But they're brainwashed into it!! :soma:".
    They don't make brainwashing that good.
    Otherwise all elections would be landslides, and the cola wars and burger wars would be over.

    HCA is notoriously depressing and tragic. Other than "The Ugly Duckling", I can't think of anything from him that doesn't end sadly.

    Yep, and she dissolves into sea foam, and that's supposed to be the just-so-story origin of sea foam.

    Kinda puts into weird contrast that jolly musical biopic of him with Danny Kaye as Anderson.
    "I'm Hans Christian Anderson!! Lalalalala!! :polarslam2:".

    "I'm George R.R. Martin!! Everybody dies!! :polarslam2:".

    Even the Ugly Duckling is sad. It may not supposed to be, but … it’s still tragic

    I wanna say, "kind of...". In an Oscar Wilde way, but repressed and directed at unobtainable/inappropriate people so it'd inevitably unrequited/requitable.
    He's a sad story from one point of view, but a little creepy from another.
