Death Stranding 2 Reveal Trailer 4K | The Game Awards 2023

Fans spent decades claiming that Hideo Kojima is a creative genius who's being held back by the studio system, and then the first time a production gave him free rein to do whatever he wanted he promptly made a game where you have to play out using the bathroom in real time so the protagonist can collect his own urine to craft magic piss grenades. It's unclear whether this confirms the fandom's hypothesis.

I know that Greek satyrs were only males, but hear me out!

I had to make a satyress!Deadma'am design, she just wouldn't leave my mind.

I believe pretty strongly that art doesn't need an audience. Plenty of art is political or provocative just for its own sake, without any relevant discourse or target demographic in mind. As a writer on tumblr I write things that I know I will enjoy writing and with very little stakes attached--if anyone decides they wanna engage with my work, that's fine.

Most larger entities, collectives, and labels though--they create art with the intention to sell it. This is not a bad thing or a detraction of that art, it is simply a reality that even the weirdest corporate media has a hook by design. The marketing alone for a new movie, game, or series can tell you right away who the product is for.

However.

Who in the fuck did Hideo Kojima make Death Stranding for

People sometimes try to picture "the opposite of Touhou" and come up with, like, a bullet-hell shooter where all the characters are boys, which is a problem for two reasons:

Boys are not the opposite of girls; and

At this point Touhou is barely a bullet-hell shooter franchise anyway; like, yeah, that's the foundation of it, but let's be real, a huge chunk of the fandom only ever engages with the supplementary media and has never helled a bullet in their lives.

If we really want to flip it turnways, it's not sufficient to invert the gameplay or the aesthetic trappings; there needs to be an ideological inversion of some description as well.

Basically, what I'm saying is that the opposite of Touhou is Death Stranding.
