Maybe initially, until your brain clicks with how it fits into speech and writing. It’s pretty natural to read their stuff at this point, for me at least.
Unless you have dyslexia, of course. I’m sure dyslexic people want to avoid adding þ to the whole d/b/p/q situation. I kinda like her tho.

Are they whining about that? I never took Sxan as the type of person to complain.
- Comment on apparently, the T button dosent exist for some people 3 days ago:
Agreed. Big fan of þ and ð, but a third way to write a letter, that simultaneously looks like 3 other letters? Good move obsoleting that one.

Is it really that hard to read? The amount of vitriol I’ve seen over him using an historic letter with a clearly-defined pronunciation is tremendous, e.g. ITT.

Honestly, is this a bad thing? It’s so easy to get lost in the cacophony of internet noise that being able to identify the intent of a post is kinda helpful.
- Comment on Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic 1 week ago:
Dishonored is one of the few games that I’ve turned right around and played through again after I beat it. The gameplay is just so free. It’s not really the biggest map ever, but it is so dense and easy to navigate. I also haven’t experienced a lot of titles that just ooze atmosphere the way that Dishonored does. The art direction is off the charts, and I think it’s aged pretty impeccably. It’s always a good idea to do stylized over realistic, at least if you want your game to stand the test of time.

Yeah, that’s the point. Their fart is about to be so powerful that the laws of aerodynamics take a backseat.

I suppose weakening Klan membership at the time of release would be more accurate, I’ll add it to the post
- Comment on Pow-- 3 weeks ago:
What’s really great about that comic is it’s a loose adaptation of a 1946 episode of the Adventures of Superman radio show called “Clan of the Fiery Cross,” wherein Superman also takes on the Klan.
Klan membership went down after the broadcast aired, partially because fathers couldn’t really explain to their kids why Superman wanted to fight the Klan.
It’s credited pretty heavily with weakening the Klan, and it’s on YouTube.
This is kinda unrelated, but you were mentioning some of the identity moments in the comic. I really appreciated how they did some similar commentary in the new movie as well and, since I had never seen those themes focused on in Superman, I did some research into the history of immigration commentary in Superman.
Anyway, that’s how I found out there’s an adaptation from the 1980s where the life pod carrying Superman actually just contains DNA which it then assembles into Superman, all so Superman can be an American-born citizen. The 80s were one of the decades of all time.
- Comment on ChatGPT made me delusional 3 weeks ago:
Fuck, I’m going to have to wait to watch this one.
Eddy has always impressed me with how in-depth his journalism can be on the most minute topics. His video where he ate at every Rainforest Café was probably the most coverage that chain has had in years, and his piece on ghost kitchens is like the only source you need to understand that bullfuckery.
That is to say, I’m sure he really went hard with the research for this one. Would not surprise me if he isolated himself with ChatGPT for a week.

Okay. I didn’t mean it, I swear!
In all seriousness, þanks for the information.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’ve seen people write essays to Sxan. It’s wild how much they want to dictate others’ behavior.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 4 weeks ago:
I love the whole thorn thing, but I do wish to see ð incorporated in its correct usage.
Like, “Þey’re” should be “Ðey’re.” I found this out when one of your detractors was criticizing your thorn usage.
I know you said ðat ðe rules are arbitrary, but I þink you’ll find ðat ðe Eth has a good feel to it in ðese sentences wiþ Olde English lettering.
Just my two cents. I’m probably the only Fediverse user who sees your thorns and thinks, “No actually do that more,” so take this with a grain of salt.
- Comment on But why 4 weeks ago:
By all means, check out the lyrics of some popular rock songs from the late 80s. I think you’ll find the pedophila vastly underrepresented.
Now, that’s not to say songwriters like Steven Tyler didn’t exist, but a large part of the lyricism you’re talking about is from around a decade or more earlier.
On the age of consent, I’ll give you this: they’re definitely weird in Georgia. Georgia’s age of consent was 14 until 1995.
However, the kids in the Losers Club were 11 in the first part of IT, which is still below even that threshold. With the exception of Georgia, the age of consent in America has been at least 16 since 1920. Plus, 23 states actually set their age of consent at 18 back then as well.
Maybe it was a little less weird in 1986 than it is now, but it was still far from the cultural norm. That’s all.
- Comment on But why 4 weeks ago:
Most of voters who support him are in genuine denial that he’s a pedophile. It’s ridiculous, but it doesn’t change the fact that they also hate pedophilia - they’re just being conned into thinking queer people are the pedos.
- Comment on But why 4 weeks ago:
In 1986 though? Pretty sure we had our cultural view on child gangbangs locked in by then.

It’s just a lack of teaching these younguns how to act right. Common sense is out the window.

- Comment on Why was Newgrounds like this in the 2000s? 4 weeks ago:
Flash, and by extension Newgrounds, let young people create their own art and publish it en masse.
I don’t know about you, but from my experience a lot of young adults find a lot of humor/intrigue in adding adult themes to media primarily for children. You see this in all the “cursed video game” creepypastas, too. Similarly, I know we all know the song about fucking shooting that bastard Barney dead where he stands.
Children’s media is intentionally sanitized, and teenagers are intentionally rebellious. They’re going to think it’s hilarious if Dora the Explorer says, “Fuck.”
My main problem I have is with the people who never let that trend die. I saw people making edgy content like that well into the 2010s. The only one I really cared for from that era was Sonic for Hire.
