trying to support one’s arguments by invoking Nietzsche quotes is peak slave morality lmao

Cum on Eileen!

…is this anything?

i 100% condemn its genocidal terrorism, but i do fear that Israel’s become an Evil Empire Of People Who Are Irrevocably Irredeemable for leftist youth today

the average Japanese person being unable to speak English for shit is the tippy fucking top of the iceberg that is Japan’s weird alienation vis-a-vis the world today despite the fact that any Thing has infinitely more rizz to a foreigner if it were a Thing From Japan

why do the most unfunny posts and comments in the internet always end with a ;) ?

[regentzephyr]

speaking of Dave Matthews Band, i consider them to be the most “American” band inasmuch as they are virtually unknown here in Japan… they are the rare anti-Big in Japan musical act lmao

[regentzephyr]

Lenny Kravitz is basically evil Dave Matthews

i cited the still very good, probably 20-year old piece on Earthbound by Tim Rogers in my thesis because to me, it illustrates the game’s (and internet-era consumerism’s) individualist internal logic of the Manchild and the System qua Mother

y’all, i think i’ve finally cracked the code… the JJK fandom’s is what happens when one reads manga as if they’re a middle schooler on Twitter watching the NBA

my long-held contention that Kardinal Offishall’s the only Canadian rapper worth a shit is paying huge dividends today

[regentzephyr]

the whole ‘analog horror’ craze is the most aesthetically fucking subterranean shit aujourd’hui (excluding AI art, of course)

[regentzephyr]

Cat pictures, cat videos, and cat memes are the refuge of the socially undercooked.

one of my favorite moments of Japan-Western pop cultural interaction (which is otherwise quite rare if one excludes video game stuff) is the fact that the theme song for the 2006 live-action Death Note movie was inexplicably fUCKING

DANI CALIFORNIA BY THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS

[regentzephyr]

i must say, the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom in Twitter’s pretty hilarious to watch lmao… its like if one somehow accelerated the horny madness of the Naruto fandom of yesteryear with Deleuzian magic

[regentzephyr]

now that i’m done with my months-long research culminating in an admittedly not very good bachelor’s thesis, i wanted to make a multi-post thread here about how the cult classic videogame EarthBound is actually really repressive and authoritarian in a bid for internet clout, had it not been for the fact that there’s a wild preponderance of juicy evidence for it that i could legitimately write a whole-ass book about the subject lmao

now that kids on iPads are but a fact of life at this point, i must acknowledge that i am a pioneering member, a prototype of this great demographic, having been gifted a jailbroken first-generation iPad like, 12 years ago, when i was ten or eleven. i grew up with ancient games originally made for the iPhone that are lost media now, like Karnival and Puzzlings, the old built-in YouTube app whose icon looked like an old-timey TV(?), and of course, the Angry Birds. i ultimately turned out alright, i think… all i really do nowadays is listen to ska and read Baudrillard

[regentzephyr]

the most deliciously demeaning thing people can do to their fellow man is showing anonymous hate mail or hate comments addressed to some famous person or whatnot to the people who wrote them lmao… one does not need to expose them to the public; the fact that another person knows what they did is more than enough. that’s their personal Apocalypse, their Revelation.
