this isn't going to translate well to English haha, but there is weird music online but not enough people seem to approach it as 'mystery guy makes a weird mystery album' type idea. ("Belgian Elmo Mixtape" was originally supposed to be like this) Like nobody tries to establish themselves as DJ Wojovobaposavilio and try to imagine what this invented guy's music would even sound like. Haha that REALLY didn't translate well to English but I'm pretty sure even obscure bandcamp weirdos approach the music as /themselves/ or as an internet anonyminity type thing. I don't think there's enough of an element of trying to be this perfect weird techno you imagined discovering in the used music section of a Goodwill someday.
 
 
From other thread. I like this shit too. Lots of the artists I like are total CHARACTERS and then some are also CHARACTER LOVERS and they clearly have a big thing for media/stories but they don't want to TELL stories in long form, just playact personas, jam tunes etc. from these stories that never existed. People like Kool Keith, and I just talked about this in another thread, but James Ferraro and the other guy he works with, Spencer Clark, they've put out a few albums that are just flawlessly RENDITIONS of a THEME. (it's a shame that the words i have to describe an IMAGINARY LOOK is just prissy and memed-down theory crap like "aesthetic".) But musicians especially, because you can make a whole look and a whole LIFE implied with just how you title and cover an album, some have just excellently laid down these parallel universe ideas where they put on these scavenged alien personas that suggest companies, planets, TV shows, and people that are too cool to possibly exist. Yeah, I guess at this point I'm just repeating that Mingering Mike idea that permeates dumb topic, the termite art thing about wheedling back a weird version of whatever society sells you.

It's funny to think of a song as placed on the axes of Druggy + Spiritual - like you're saying about some inventive, earnest sounding song that is not-so-secretly really earnest about being Yogic Machine Elf Prayer or whatever? psytrance equivalent of a metal band turning out to be Nazis
 
what about the other way around?, I guess for spiritual music the obvious fake equivalent would be some radio thing namedropping Jesus, or like an advertisement jingle for a funeral home. Are there any open fascist bands that accidentally wrote songs promoting tolerance/

this blog is probably something stupid but yeah it did enough homework, Maya the Bee was originally some nazi propaganda

http://nwioqeqkdf.blogspot.com/2016/08/from-nazi-to-sjw-evolution-of-maya-bee.html

but that's not really the same thing as 'accidentally', that's more your thing about creating a weird version of a thing society sells to you


Edit: https://subaqueous.bandcamp.com/album/shatter-spell this was one of the ones that pissed me off, album trying to suggest you can channel psytrance vibez to explod illuminati temples with ur mind? Or something. Probably at least a few of the customers honestly believe that

I don't think there's a single case of "psytrance band that secretly hates 95% of its audience/fans" you know, like Radiohead probably is. It would either be too hard or too easy of an audience, wanting to fake-please the audience

Edit: and then how much of the fanbase is teenager-ish? At least teenagers sort of have some leeway to believe stupid shit. I did think The Matrix was a crazzyzyzy movie at the time, but mostly because it's sorta 'unprovable' thing? Maybe confronting unprovability can be healthy if done right, even if I were religious now I'd steer away from the supernatural stuff, vehemently say the bible was just written by some dudes and not beamed down from heaven, etc.

Edit: I mentioned this thread but forgot to post https://forum.watmm.com/topic/94934-sounds-influence-on-brain-chemistry/

anyone who says 'colundi', that's an album some guy did as a parody of 432 hz and weird tunings that are supposed to do stuff to your brain. So yeah this forum I think is a constant war between BELIEVERS and other forum members going under the radar pretending to believe. But some people in turn might be sold on the colundi thing when that album was very intentionally a parody? aaaaaaaaaaaaa

Edit: ahaha, guy on the 2nd page is almost formulating an argument against binaural beats that a layman can understand


this isn't technically psytrance or something but getting close

https://sourcevibrations1.bandcamp.com/music

oh btw HEALING used to describe music, I think I already said it but probably less detectable kook term than 432 hz but might be just as important? Ask them to define "healing", becomes a pandora's box of insanity

there was one bandcamp that was really interesting to me, they actually probably went all out with a modular synth to produce whatever frequencies these people are obsessed with, and the music was supposed to resonate with nature and maybe even the albums were themed that way ACTUAL ROCK MUSIC (RESONATES WITH ROCKS), and first of all the music didn't sound 'natural' at all, even creepy? It was an interesting situation, I think the guy had a Patreon too or some other way of getting fundz but doesn't necessarily mean he was scamming people, he might've honestly believed his own thingy with the music? Neo of psybient

this just got posted



it's not that close but isn't "regression to childhood" still way too close to 'orgasm'. Also prayer

looks like it's from the 80s. It's always a tract/printout from the 80s

are the rings around the circle the 11 dimensions thing again. Is everyone who thinks there are 11 dimensions just a mandela effect of something jerry garcia said once/forgetting where they heard '11' and thought it was significant

also obsession with destroying the ego. Punkz had egos and they got way more shit done. What if merely wanting to eat and stay alive is 'ego' technically. What now psytrance guys

makes psytrance concept album that is secretly glorifying the ego, not even necessarily sincere belief just to annoy people


I also had a phase like a month or two ago where I just said 'psytrance is racist' a lot of places. Like it's a weird situation, a lot of psytrance glorifies shamanic cultures n shit, but in some ways it's like, the situation is a lot of these guys are European, and maybe dangerously promoting anti-technology to some third world countries? Like for the sake of some wet dream that the cultures were more 'pure' or something? Psytrance is actually 'international' but I think it's more white than at first glance still. Psytrance producers in Africa but South Africa, etc. Then there are Japanese psytrance producers but you've got the other side of the coin there, still a first world country. I REALLY want to find out if Goa, India was a resort town from the start, because I think it's BECOME that way now? But maybe it developed into a tourist destination out of psytrance people making pilgrimages there

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Goa

lol that one Jason Bourne movie where he was hiding out in Goa, it's actually not a low-key secret agent-type place to hide out at all maybe? Jason Bourne fights off dudes with shaky cam in the middle of a Goa rave party

but yeah I at least got someone on Youtube to hear my point that "it has the potential to become a caricature very quickly" at least

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DGORN4xSGI&lc=z235ypkylq2cxrul1acdp433kr5lqktj1c40a30arhpw03c010c.1523764343172282

here, just read the comment chain, I start off a little mean by saying it's pretty proven that even shaman stuff has incidents of abuse, so you can't argue 'purity' that way... who's to say it wouldn't do a catholic church style cover-up if it were more mainstream all of a sudden

but yeah outside of the youtube I'd probably argue a lot of psytrance fans have "magical negro"-type sentiments, and if they actually knew that term they would feel a little embarrassed? (or maybe not, too high to get embarrassed). Like some album art has a spooky tone and I get worried is this 'dark continent' imagery?

and that youtube pic is definitely reminiscent of early killer instinct games lol


Edit: the shaman abuse actually sounded pretty scary, like those people who have hypno fetish online, this is the closest thing to it in real life and it's not something you would 'want' at all, in real life? It sounded like, temporary amnesia that the woman actually had feelings for the shaman when she didn't?, type situation. But yeah it's the whole nine yards, that psychedelic stuff people take was literally used as the rape drug
 
 
Edit: I don't think it's that bad in the psytrance scene, but there's definitely possibility of it being like Sheva's unlocked costume in Resident Evil 5, mostly just fetishizing it as 'looking cool', as a literal fetish is a possibility, trying to make it 'deeper' than something shallow like that
 
Edit: also there is shaman stuff native to Europe, like in Scandinavia for one thing. But it isn't as 'cool' a theme for your epic psytrance album

hahaha sorry about fetish stuff, but even from stuff I've seen through saltworld/dumbtopic it gets worrisome, like there is also less literal version of 'fetishizing' things but then a youtube channel comes up with random clips from movies isolated for the 'stimulating' parts and it's kind of even a revelation? Were some of these movie director guys just like the random internet fetish people but they spent all this time and money and effort filming it cinematically when it was actually the same exact thing/intent? You could even argue entire movies, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman?
 
and then arguing it's fetish in the super literal way, surely some Wicca people get turned on by thoughts of being a witch in some cases, lol
 
Bourne Identity movies, is shaky cam the director's secret fetish? lol in 15 years we'll see shaky cam compilations on youtube for that purpose
 
 
Edit: There could definitely be like, a "placebo/kind of sort of the musician's fetish/actual music" spectrum. People joke 303/acid sounds are kind of that way and the real reason it's overused
 
Edit: arguing it's fetish is kind of just me exaggerating but an online friend said 'people don't know the difference between 'actually good' and just STIMULATING', paraphrasing but I totally see that. Why vidcons suck in 2018

the nazi blog of "MORGOTH PENGUIN" is PROBABLY stupid? ahaha come on dude. i think if you're going on to talk about racism in psytrance you can stand to err on the side of mean here.
 
the man who calls himself Morgoth Penguin is a retarded clown and his idea - that the modern bland adaptations of racist fairy tales are really deliberate betrayals of his nazi ideals engineered by fat women with hairdye who run the entertainment industry as of a few years ago - is also stupid. Tough guys have been preaching against the FAGIFICATION and PUSSIFYING EFFECT of children's media for 40,000,000 years and it only ever sounds good to weaklings who hate themselves.
 
And no it didn't do enough homework because now I'm left wondering where does the anime fit into his worldview? It was aimed at Japanese kids in the 70s so is it like HALF SJW and HALF NAZI... Does he hate Japs like he hates Jews or is he on their side
 
And also like you said it's not even an example of what I was talking about. It's just like every other WHY DIDNT THEY LEAVE IN THE PART WHERE THE WOODS MAN RAPES HER??? thing so - huge waste of time - fuck this guy
 
------------------------------
 
RE: Racism in Eco EDM
 
I like looking up the multitude of boring songs actually NAMED "Jungle Fever" lol I wonder what is the single most fetishized sounding one? It'd actually be pretty interesting to find the fakest trance (or anything) artists with the most tepid and insincere sampling and sound design habits.

Also I agree with you but not with your friend - I think they're super close to getting it like that IS what is good. If something stimulates you and you like it, THAT'S GOOD. Everyone's fucking poisoned by this idea that art can be worthwhile on its own if it somehow fits to all these standards of Renaissance masters or modernism or whatever. It's just stimulus and what you're willing to admit you like. I don't think you can really be tricked by stimulus into liking something you "really don't". If you respond to stimulus positively that's what you liking it IS.
 
Kids do it honestly they can be like "I like this game for the part where the guy kicks the other guy" and like when you're an adult you're not ALLOWED to be that simple anymore. Even though the majority of people STILL THINK LIKE THAT, like wow, that bit where the hulk takes the guy and slams him over his head is really impressive, and exciting looking. I wish I could do that to my foes. But you sound simple if you say it out loud, so people hide behind that stupid "WELL I JUST LIKE HAVING FUN OKAY? AND TURNING OFF MY BRAIN" excuse, which is just refusing to engage with what you actually like and why, so you can arbitrarily defend whatever you like from society's class-based criticism. (Not that I'm some magician at not being a classist asshole, I just called a guy a retard.)
 
And like MOST PEOPLE - i.e. EVERY FUCKING PERSON I HAVE MET AND BECOME CLOSE WITH - has some small-to-huge sexual hangup. Whether it's just "I wish I had more sex" or "I get jealous too easy" or some really fucked up perspective or fetish they're ashamed of or not. If you go through regular puberty society fucking LANCES you with sexual imagery, I don't really believe you can make it to adulthood without SOME seediness in your brain unless you're like legitimately 100% sexless and have no libido, and in that case it causes you problems because people don't believe you and try and rope you into it. Of course I should talk to a sexologist about it to see how right I am before I go putting my screwed up worldview on everyone else, but I do believe - under my breath mostly - that a GREAT DEAL of entertainment and politics is decided by shockingly stupid sex drive stuff nobody wants to talk about.
 
I know that's an old hippie idea and there are lots of cheesy ass books from the 70s especially that set out the entire human problem as being rooted in sexuality but that's not what I'm thinking. I just think people are so scared to talk about sex or seem unusual, sexually, that we've ended up with a huge crop of brains who have accidentally or deliberately gotten themselves into stretched out perspectives.
 
 
The internet might make some types flashier, or in general make it more obvious, but when people were all living on isolated little farms I think everyone might have been even WEIRDER, sexually, at least more in some ways and less in others. You can look up all sorts of hillbilly farmer doctor accounts from the 1800s of these gungy old men sticking, like, hay up their ass "accidentally" and needing help getting it out. And then he needs help again and again. The more we change...

flol

I'm glad I brought it up then kind of

like, I meant to say the first time you found out some weird internet fetish existed was it like a PARADIGM SHIFT in some ways? Like most to all media ever, now there is the sneaking suspicion that it could be THE MOST SHALLOW REASON this media was created. Like the X-Files I don't get that vibe but maybe it's just nostalgia, and I feel the grossout moments are /genuine/ grossout if such a thing exists? I always leave open the possibility that Chris Carter is just stimulated by monsters and alien goop and aliens operating on people n shit. And then maybe a lot of early season stuff was probably ripping off Silence of the Lambs and Twin Peaks. Bingo u got an entire TV series lol

even I remember reading about Francis Bacon, I think it turns out he was both gay and a party dude in real life (I think). Like not some depressive recluse necessarily? Did he actually have Chris Cunningham-style distorto men fantasies? lol Like some Bacon stuff is more grotesque but other stuff seems like, if he only could do it as a special effect on a Mac he would've had a deviantart account where he distorts random dudes



this one is totally, trying to simulate a (photoshop?) plugin that doesn't exist yet. How different is Francis Bacon from Instagram really



I'll definitely admit I fall back a lot on samples that sound like all mumbly or muffled in some way for mysteriousness effect, secretly stimulated by the thought of the sample sinking into goo or something? Who knows

"I like this game for the part where the guy kicks the other guy" - all people who dislike Resident Evil 4 are overthinking this, when I played RE4 I was like 'wow a post 16-bit game that understands dumb gameplay flow stuff'. I even compared it to River City Ransom for like combining random stuff that should be in an RPG, item management screens in a seamless way. Like there were times playing Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior and felt like ohshit jumping through menus even though logically you know it's TURN BASED RPG and you can just hang around in the menu for as long as you need to think things through? Had similar situations playing RE4, big time

secretly wishes the conspiracy culture now is like, random deviantart etc. accounts start getting discovered where it was that one guy in the youtube comments, and they've been writing hundreds of anime fanfics about secret society/high society secret debauchery stuff kind of Eyes Wide Shut style, and it turns out it was the most shallow reason afterall, needs to sustain belief in the conspiracy to make the fap plausible lol. I never intentionally set out to find hentai games online but one time I downloaded a bunch of X68000 ROMs and one game turned out to be, it had an air of legitimate first person adventure game but then random sex scenes. And it was like, you could write it off as the guy was Tuxedo Mask but it might've been some Eyes Wide Shut venetian mask thing going on, reduced to a scenario to make the hentai game plausible haha. Or just the conspiracy guys want to imagine random occult-themed rihanna x lady gaga lesbian scenes, totally plausible too, and they just build this mythos to justify their fantasies lol? I get annoyed at some conspiracy people because they obviously think 'gay is wrong' lumped in with the other beliefs, or full on 'the gay conspiracy exists' beliefs. But thinking about it now it also sometimes becomes 'lesbianism is wrong' what is this unstoppable propaganda machine making hetero men not like lesbian stuff anymore? haha Lady Gaga says she might be bisexual in interview, any other decade men would respond YEEAAUAH!! (imagine in the voice of the one guy who yells out at the Donald Trump rally) suddenly in 2018 it is now occult shits? Where did we go wrong

my mom believed some crazy stuff but she believed A LOT OF STUFF so some of it was bound to be pretty good or nice commentary on society? Like I think it was from her, I heard this theory that "religious ecstasy is just masked sexual arousal" which could turn into Illuminati thoughtz easily enough but I think Salt World would just read it as 'don't take religion too seriously, it could be your fetish' and then again, it would be the most shallow reasons. She also thought all religions ever were conceived on drugs, which is probably reasonable in itself, it's just some people believe that legitimizes drugs somehow? lol Like if you're an atheist doesn't that make it like, some of the most poisonous philosophies/thought patterns ever were because of drugs? haha I think the people who actually push that theory in real life, like it's kind of neutral in itself, but I think the people who like /write books/ about it want to argue that the early ver of the religion more influenced by drug thoughtz was purer I guess. People who think there's secret stuff in the Gnostic gospels even though those are like bad fanfics of the regular bible as far as I've seen

Edit: maybe I even mentioned this in recent posts, but the further you go into history how can you know that society didn't get JRPG vibes/stimulation from random things like going to church? Only reason society is more secular now, is secretly because the vibez have been replaced by 'holy' parts of Skyrim, and church stuff is going to be totally underwhelming unless you go to some basilica or something. Turns out the religious feels were exactly the same as watching The Fountain or something. And that church feels exactly can be boiled down to quantity of religo-stimulation

Edit: whirling dervishes are the most ridiculous religion idea to me of all time I think. SPINNING HELPS YOU SEE GOD, it's literally just autistic stimming as an entire philosophy, like how many of these guys would test positive for at least mild autism if they lived in another part of the world. I have the same theory about people who memorize the entire bible/quran. Rosary beads are totally just trying to please the autistic/autism-resembling elements/mores of society, repetition/structure is good and is totally an ok way to worship. Meditation seen as kind of evil by Abrahamic religions solely on basis of it involving /not doing anything/ to some extent. The Western religions are perplexed by it because they're waiting for some kind of stimming to happen

Edit: not even making fun of autism, I'm making fun of when religion has to be like 'something for everyone' sort of situation and it's obviously just to be marketable to the most people possible. Religion always based on stuff most people are capable of doing, facing Mecca and bowing or whatever happens (gets worried there is secretly a double entendre of mooning Europe). There is no religion that requires you to bench 50 lbs or over, I don't think. Most of the time nobody cares if you mumble the hymns in church as a kid, this is ok but not sure if they care in either direction, if you honestly want to learn the hymn better

Edit: I don't think Aphex Twin's aesthetic is a fetish, but I'm kinda surprised it never seemed to even become a thing in some weird circles? Did he find the right amount of wrong that nobody wants to make fetish stuff out of it

LOL that whole post is spot on, I agree with everything you say. Re: Aphex Twin I don't know specifically, but breakcore and idm in general seems like it has a lot of furry / weird sex stuff fans? E.g. Renard is a fox furry... Renard means FOX... I don't listen to Renard but I hear dopes recommending him in youtube comments etc. I think, not because idm perverts you, but if you're into media that's outre and web-based, you will statistically start to run into more inventive music and idm artist/style communities will see a benefit from that boost. I'm just repeating myself from my post earlier about black queers -> more likely to coincide on venn diagram with furries -> the "i like 'gross'" animals and bugs sphere.
 
With religion ofc, who knows what precisely caused each at their inception but every one needs a certain base strata of humans to get popular, right? Like how life or a forest fire starts, it needs a certain situation with gunpowder and a catalyst, and all the world religions had and have, some specific ratio, or group of ratios, of multiple humans who are going out and spreading this idea, or fighting against it and legitimizing its martyrdom, and either of these could easily be fueled by doing drugs / or being crazy - which go hand in hand a lot for many reasons - so much that you become TOTALLY CONVINCED in this rather silly idea. And you know, in the desert nomad days, their therapy was pretty crude afaik, so you could be really passionate about a completely stupid idea without necessarily triggering people's "this man is mad" instinct. Just like nowadays.
 
The stuff you said about church is funny, because it is really just boring religious TV without the TV part, right? I always wondered how boring people found it when they had the linguistic familiarity and attention span to really pay attention to the insane and brutal bits, like how much of that is intended to "scare childish dopes into complying" like some people think nowadays, and how much is intended to make everyone go WOAH like the Matrix? But immensely dignified and ancient. I don't think looking at it that way makes it stupid or lame, it just elevates everything else, like anything people do now could just be an expression of spirituality. I know people have the capacity to approach art on different "levels" depending on where it's coming from e.g. how you appreciate a picture made by your little kid relative with a different part of your heart than you appreciate a really surprisingly good song, lush VR visuals or IRL mountain. I've been made to feel really deeply by all sorts of random bits of media that most people would have no reason to pay attention to, but it's not like "religious" because............. ?????????????? It doesn't have any costumes and I don't evangelize MUCH about it I guess. And maybe because it's not concerned with the state of my immortal soul and therefore doesn't have a place on the afterlife battleground debate.

Renard is like, wouldn't exist if Venetian Snares didn't exist, only real thing in common is having boundless furry ener-g to put out a lot of albums. Otherwise Renard is just like, good at finding samples and bittorrenting more samples, and also was fortunate enough to find out Renoise is a thing/program, otherwise if you're trying to make this kind of stuff in Reason or whatever it's a pain in the ass, once you learn to make it on a tracker and have a lot of samples it's easy to be prolific
 
I remember seeing this one when it was new (still actually Renard)
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wj4gTXQhjQ
 
compare with this
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYusL_0HCkI
 
the renard track, probably heard this "Filth" album ("Slop", get it), makes 30 seconds worth of almost atmospheric stuff, like 10 seconds of something with the beats happening that suggests the entire song is going to be interesting rhythm idea but then it gives up and is a poor man's version of a pendulum track? This is probably /decent/ for a Renard track too, there is a little bit of detuned 8 bit stuff that is almost interesting? But most of it is relying on random tropes of what drum and bass is supposed to sound like?
 
what /actual/ venetian snares does for an idea for an track
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j09t2hnWgHo
 
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be that random genre called 'neurofunk', but no neurofunk producer would ever actually make THIS because they're too autistically married to preconceptions about what neurofunk is supposed to sound like? Just by making it in a weird time signature it's already like NO RAVE MUSIC EVER lol
 
this track is also a reference to /something/, some random forgotten subgenre of a subgenre, but also like 20 songs worth of ideas, if it were the actual target genre
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9Yz3tmuD9U
 
what annoys me more is the scene that throws venetian snares tracks into STEPMANIA or one of those games, and probably not even really transcribing the tracks, just pretending to know the structure of the song for the most part and throwing in sporadic up down left right triggers. Maybe some people actually like the music but it's approaching it as like a video game to be 'solved', or at the very least maybe an 'endurance test' of music, and I think snares has even made fun of this in interviews in an offhand way. He said like 'people treat getting good at music like getting good at a videogame' but it could be an offhand diss to the stepmania people too
 
also the renard aliases are like, the worst reason to make an alias ever. Everybody in that scene has to know it's secretly Renard, I doubt anybody is surprised to find out it's Renard all along, literally just a 'sona' for music, as half-assed a theme going on as most sonas
 
this track is also amazing if you get past the fact that it's dark angery vsnares
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgsC6oPRgzc
 
I think the time signature in parts (I think you know which parts) is literally like 2.73/4, literally just throws in a golden ratio type number as the time signature perhaps, Aaron Funk gets sick of hearing or is even PRESCIENT OF people half assed-theorizing that the amen break contains the golden ratio somewhere and just makes it the freaking time signature MAYBE. But it's also like, a sort of rhythmic idea that a rave music person would have thought of, at the inception of the random sub-genre but it's not really rave music at all? It's just a rave-esque sort of rhythm idea? It also might be a deceptively simple track if you saw it in OCTAMED or whatever he was using at the time?
 
not going to post Dollmaker but that one is supposedly divided into septuplets, i.e. every beat has 7 places to put drum hits. And then if it's 7/4 like usual, technically you would actually notate it 7/7 I think. He literally is making square roots terrifying quite possibly?
 
 
 
the album also starts with tracks like this before it gets super-heavy and it's like /not even/ squarepusher, squarepusher would never do like this sort of, dissonance but it's a dissonant rhythm almost, ideas. Ughhhh the wikipedia article on this album is gone?? But I swear this track was in 31/4 or something. Songs About My Cats is also supposed to have some batshit insane time signatures but I'm not sure if it's as effective. Also the track has Earthbound sample supposedly

I'm not even sure how I FEEL about this album but Renard would never be able to even start to imitate/ape something like this, so maybe you can use that as a measure of good music? lol
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xjTyXIm_iE
 
 
but yeah like Snares also does have melodies at times, even when he doesn't there's probably ghost shit within the breakbeat samples, every Renard song I've heard is a bunch of 'whoa I thought of this melody, I'm so waaaacky' melodies that is literally just some rave/drum and bass trope with furry edge to it

<p>ahahaha I don't even want to say it, but keeping with the current theme, there was a guy at walgreens and he says something about "marvel vs. capcom pinball" like 2 or 3 times a little too insistently, and I get worried... like I'm pretty sure there is dickgirl porn of all the major female superheroes (psylocke becomes 'psycock'), 'pin' + balls, freudian... is this one of the people who browses said material or even proliferates it online? Is all that stuff even honest interest in hermaphroditism (sp) or is it just a manifestation/natural conclusion of when they say the comic book artist or movie director is just making 'guys with boobs' rather than genuine strong female characters? (I hear that about Uma Thurman's character in Kill Bill too) If Freud were alive, would he argue that most of the female comic book characters had the subconscious 'phantom penis' to begin with? Is it just some manbaby stuff going on where the guy has such a distorted view of strong female characters that again, it becomes the logical conclusion to copy and paste a penis on there? Is this just the modern day version of that outsider artist who drew girls with penises and maybe the guy was gay but it was also theorized to his outsider mind he had this illogical association that putting a penis on there made the female characters stronger, as like a combination of thought distortion mixed with sexism of that time? Is the online fan of Psycock even nice to transsexual people in real life or do they have pretty icky views on gender?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't mind if these people are just actually gay or something more ambiguous, it's just the fact that it's comic book character makes it feel like.... this weird version of going super-saiyan where instead they suddenly have a penis? Or like a pokemon evolving but it involves a penis materializing somehow? I get an icky feeling to some people it is like upping the ante, to also have a penis?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>for the record I've seen some furry stuff and at least that stuff can run the gamut at times from 'magically has a penis-syndrome' to there being enough ambiguity in the art style that whoa, maybe this is /intended/ to be a dude? Maybe it's less significant than I think but the anime comic book stuff, whatever stuff I ended up seeing was just copying and pasting a penis each and every time. At least the furry crowd seems cognizant at times of ambiguous inbetween gender stuff, and there is the chance the artist is like that in real life, that there is an element of self-portrait going on, and I might be right or wrongly assuming the comic book dickgirl stuff is always made by some neckbeard who totally identifies as a dude consistently? And probably straight dude</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When you said 'black queers', do you mean, I actually did have an encounter where the person was a cat person and was black irl I think and they were a girl-boy as opposed to a boy-girl? If you know what I mean. Furry can be gros but it's always gonna have that element to me of, people trying to figure out what the heck they want to be? because there was the LGBT thing going on from its inception pretty much. When I see the same themes with some random anime stuff it always seems like some ham-fisted manbaby view on things and more just wanting to be stimulated without examining it much. And I think this cat person was totally not about porn, but liked having a little avatar of them as a male, literally just role-playing in a sense</p>
 
 
Edit: also I've never noticed much furry/aphex twin fan overlap as vsnares stuff. I think maybe it might've happened thru the stepmania type scene, lol. There is online obsessives about vsnares tracks being the ultimate stepmania levels but again I think it's half-assed and little effort is made to actually transcribe the music, but I might be wrong

Yeah I won't talk about it in depth but there's been a big sea change in dickgirls over the course of my life - their genital construction, their popularity, their themes, the amount they identify with realistic queerness and transgender stuff vs. the always more or less popular, for a variety of reasons, both good and not so good, the "welcome to the dickgirl world"-style inexplicable fantasy.
 
Don't consider me a connoisseur of this stuff because I'm not, but it might blow your mind to look into how... I don't know, MODULAR and GAMIFIED some extremists like their porn. On image boards and boorus people will post stuff that sometimes have this slant where they want to sort of "quantify" their characters' measurements in a variable, polymorphic way? e.g. "Attribute absorption" (by sexual contact) from one another. (All of them seem to have the same plot, an anime lady is going around [setting] stealing unassuming characters' breasts and dicks right off their body lol) And those people who are into slime girls, some get really into the idea of slime characters like trading body parts or combining theirs, and that shit gets fucking WEIRD and unpleasant really quickly. Now that's not to say this is THE FUTURE, it's always just single artists or tiny clusters of similar artists working together, but every year things only get weirder as opposed to more vanilla. Plus as fun as it is to mock the idea of "GAY PORN TURNS THE KIDS GAY!!!!!!" I admit every porn image does actually have the sinister capacity to maybe turn someone on and permanently end up dooming them to a spiral into unhealthiness. Hell, it's been shown any CLEAN image (even a weird accidental fetish one made with sincere and honest innocent intent) might be able to do that to people (looks fretfully at balloons, rubber gloves, pet rats) and now that people are openly into all sorts of weird body-stealing, melting, transforming shit, and lots of the time it seems like they're trying to get off in the dick and the Disgaea grinding organ at the same time.

ha, I guess my version of why that shit would be appealing was always like, the first time someone saw ELVES in a fantasy book was that a paradigm shift for the right person? Like furry stuff, my notion of it was always almost the Zootopia tagline 'where anybody can be anything' or however it goes. The character can not even be trans but if the right species is chosen can sort of be a surreal version of human masculine/feminine stuff. There is one character who is female irl and they have like a dual persona, one character is stereotype feminine fox woman and the other is uber dyke sabertooth character (no offense lol). But yeah it's like this fantasy space for them to be totally beyond the norm/pale what a woman is supposed to be and I think that's kinda cool regardless of whether they see it that way. The character also came across as like 'animal woman thing that is capable of kicking your ass' and not the comic book man with boobs phenomenon
 
But yeah the furry thing to me was totally 'weird impossible versions of people', just thinking humans are mostly mundane unless they're EXTREMES OF HUMAN like models or actors or olympic athletes, furry as instant shortcut to imagining oneself or others as super elegant or graceful or gruff or literally beefy because they're a bull, or whatever other trait. There was a swan woman one time and I said "is this the secret account of Tilda Swinton" lol The way you explain slime stuff sounds really weird, and I hope where I'm coming from for appeal of furry stuff that it makes perfect sense why it'd be weird
 
also though, I never really saw the appeal of animal genitals even if not realistic, I'm pretty sure most people who fetishize it are not coming from a place of zoophilia but the MODULAR thing you mentioned, like interesting to them the way a sex toy is interesting
 
Edit: yeah the slime thing sounds like some extreme thoughts about trans, no hope of any definite gender ever for all eternity... something scary
 
Edit: or like trans and gender things as pac-man logic, pac-man plus a bow and lipstick instantly becomes ms. pac-man, basically mickey and minnie mouse are also this. If this person is trans in real life, I'm not even worried about passing, that idea is stupid, but would the person know/be able to break down into steps, dressing like a woman. Should just say 'feminine' to be fair, but you know what I mean, is trans all modular to them, is it just a matter of putting on the bow like ms.pac man. Future society, gender has become completely defined as bow/non-bow, the presence or non-presence of a bow

 e.g. "Attribute absorption" (by sexual contact) from one another
 
what's if it's all, all traces back to Megaman and absorbing the bosses' abilities lol
 
 
Edit: there's a raccoon guy i knew who likes to melt or something, and I think it's kind of bad like melting in place of actual intimacy, but like the guy likes Animal Collective too so I always imagining his version of melting as some druggy Animal Collective version of melting lol
 
Edit: 'I stop the world I melt with you' actually fetish confession lyrics
 
Edit: the megaman angle doesn't sit right with me haha, what if everyone had a slight excitement at the prospect of absorbing new weapon/abilities and we just, we didn't make it as EXTREME as others, is all

Ms. Pacman is pretty much it lmao, that's like almost BOTH definitions of a fetish? The bow is this ultimate miracle object that represents PURE FEMME POWER and just letting it touch you will stick and turn you MS. Whatever you'd call that object crops up AGAIN AND AGAIN in trans-themed fantasies - the magic wand / kiss / machine / alien parasite / cosmetics that painlessly destroy your dick and give you tits + make your hair poofy and whatever else the author likes.
 
Actually, furries, the way you put them, makes me think - I don't think I've really seen much in the way of, like, a weak scrawny bull fursona? Like you can find a buff version of anything, but some animals definitely seem to have more limited appeals. Like if they're the sort to choose some weird rare lemur a lot of the time they'll be playing up the uncanniness, or if they go for a fox it's a lot more likely to be pretty vanilla "i'm a Furry :)​" or like "clever, gracile, louche" the sort of people who describe themselves as "snarky".
 
edit: Oh and the dicks... christ the dicks. Definitely some sort of weird lego mentality. All sorts of flash sex RPGs with dick species as a stat? F.A.T.A.L. design, where Rectal Circumference is a germane statistic lol.

yeah the nice thing is we figured on a chat it's probably a personality-based decision at least and not like 'all asian people want to be dragons' or something horrible haha. Also a lot of black people seem to end up being wolves, I mean something super generic like that, the movie Black Panther is wrong from furry perspective. There definitely isn't some precedent to be an animal of African origin which would be horrible as well. There was a furry guy who is also probably alt-right but their world building was troublesome in exactly this way and people joked about it constantly 'hyenas are black people' haha Also white people were cats and you could super-read into it, they're /domesticated/ cats, while the hyenas are technically, like, wild? There are rasta lion pictures but it's mostly meant as jokey, I don't think any actual jamaican furry has ever felt compelled to be a lion
 
I saw a lemur character one time and they said it reflected their irl personality, bugged out eyes, do they have anxiety problems or something? lol
 
but the more you think about it the more impossible the MLP stuff seems... it's like there's absolutely nothing to build on there. No preconceived notions/traits to build on/even just do for dumb fun, except like the one is supposed to be a cowgirl, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 
Edit: one pony character is like a princess, the other is like a slightly different princess, aaaaaaaaaaaaaa make it stop

even in furry stuff, you get worried that nobody has ever not had an unhealthy fixation with anuses. This is regardless of orientation as well. It's as arcane as the mystery of foot fetish to me. A foot is just a foot, an anus is just this ring thing. People get weirded out about overly fixated about vaginas but at least it seems like there's a lot of attention to detail there to put it one way I guess haha
 
Edit: one time I found this guy who I think posted on salt world, the only things he could draw properly was anime hair and anuses, I could never figure out if his character proportions was something he sincerely liked but it looked pretty nightmarish, to this day I'm not sure if it was his intent, it could've been like idea of a wolf dude with a sort of feral looking build but it was sooooo wrong looking, or if the ugliness was unintentional and was just too busy drawing anime hair and anus. I'm pretty sure when the guy drew nipples it also looked exactly like, when people say 'a witch's teat' they would imagine this nipple
 
Edit: I think the guy was also a holdover of that OHRRPGE rpg maker program, whatever the abbreviation was. He was the last vestige of that scene quite possibly, maybe still working on the perfect rpg in extremely limited engine to this day. I think the rpg was preoccupied with crystals, are the crystals and the attention to detail anuses just signifiers of something deeper, possibly holy? who knows

Dumpt topic in a new golden age but so much over poor Earl's head.
 
game from last page sounds sweet Tony, the best experience from roguelikes as we know is being in a vast and incomprehensible world and having no idea what you're doing, yet all of your actions somehow have quantitative importance and thru your scrambling, adaptive wiles or luck you occasionally can scrap together a handful of good decisions for a few glorious moments of success before burning out and meeting your gruesome doom. and I don't even play many roguelikes, but fucking juicy contextual ways of meating ur doom are great too

the true degenerating desperation of crypto scam clickbait:


 
check the tactically crooked round glasses and messy genius hair. the ads usually say something like 'crypto genius who predicted bitcoin breaks silence on next crypto boom'. the guy is actually an opportunist named james altucher or something like that, a career hedge fund manager who called crypto a fad-scam until 2017

but yeah why bronies are weird
 
MLP is basically a jackson pollock of everything marketable as things little girls like. Not LISA FRANK level but still pretty bad. The main characters are basically someone went, little girls like princesses right? So we'll kind of make them princesses I guess. And girls like ponies, but they're already princesses, they can have ponies as pets or somethig... NO WE WILL MAKE THEM BOTH PRINCESSES AND PONIES SIMULTANEOUSLY lol And then like throw castles and rainbows and a non-threatening dragon I wouldn't be surprised if the pony kingdom is entirely made of candy too
 
meanwhile there are plenty of random cartoons marketed to boys and plenty that can be seen as having crossover appeal into adulthood and MLP sort of stands out as one where that's a complete impossibility? haha like nowadays adults being able to enjoy cartoons can be simultaneously mainstream and not necessarily mean furry vibez, but MLP is one of those things where there is no, not adult humor but adult-level humor? I don't think
 
at least possible 90s reason for furries existing... back then the standard with cartoons was that they are always for kids, cartoons of that day emit mind rays where the adult can only find the cartoon appealing for 1.2 seconds, nintendo power also emits said mind rays, the technology existed lol, obama hid the technology for islam/communism reasons (jk), and then child basically can only talk about the cartoon by themself or possibly friends. But if the child has a fetishy moment, remember even animal people cartoons of the time sometimes went for realism as well, at least in a way that is nearly nonexistent now, completely plausible a leg or a boob could be too real for a few frames of animation maybe? And then there is the added element the child's cartoon world is like completely shut off from the adults' world, adults are too busy reading about clinton not inhaling, or listening to nirvana or whatever adults were doing in the 90s. "Adult" can even be teenager or an older age bracket come to think of it. I think there was a lot more sibling feuds back then about what kinds of media the older sibling has outgrown but maybe it's still about the same in 2018, I think I remember though it was pretty bad in the 90s, at a certain age you have to like ninjas, then mortal kombat comes out and solidifies ninjas being for that age group. Anyway since certain media is like completely designated for a child of whatever age in the 90s, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles existed and maybe that had more traction with appealing to a wide range of young people, but a lot of 90s cartoons are going to feel kind of cloistered to a designated age group or something? If a funny feeling happens it's easy to imagine you are ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD that would ever understand? It's maybe the kind of thing you would want to talk about to family, probably not friends, embarrassing enough to try to explain to a family member but TV experiences again were maybe kind of cloistered back then? And then if it was kind of a gay experience, the cloistered feeling can manifest as maybe animal person character has a special understanding? Gay characters in regular human tv shows probably don't exist yet. In other cartoons, it's the gay acting as fuck disney villain or some annoying shit. I remember will and grace was MINDBLOWING for some people and it's still like dumb gay jokes lol. A random furry character from the 90s ends up being the most honest depiction of gayness in a kind of irony? Disney Robin Hood was voiced by some gay guy, is it canon disney robin hood is gay. I'm almost being honest here, is it possible disney robin hood if gay, is a more honest depiction of a gay person in hero role no less, a freaking furry but all the human efforts so far have been like, the bond villain who is pretty damn gay (Skyfall bad guy was just outright making him gay/bisexual, making it canon, I don't think it was meant as offensive), again nearly every or every disney villain, and if not a villain something completely stupid
 
that's all I can think of right now sorry
 
 
Edit: but yeah MLP almost harkens back to, that kind of 90s cartoon that like I said was super designated to the age group in this case little gurls. It's the kind of cartoon even the bronies themselves would've went ewwwww girl stuff as young lads
