The Social Experiments || Episode 3: The Choice

Charlie never commented on the fact that Ranboo just had a guy with a camera following him, even after having multiple points where it kind of hit him harder and harder that this wasn't real. He was still part of the show oh my fucking god 😭

Announcing: Genloss Week! in celebration of the 1 year anniversary of generation loss, I wanted to host a little fandom week for our favorite horror comedy show :]

a huge thank you to egg @kertoir for making this amazing poster!! RULES:

ALL MEDIAS ALLOWED! PLEASE make visual art, edits, fanfics, poetry and more!! i want to see all your amazing creativity :D

tag any blood, gore, or horror themes appropriately, and no sexual themes allowed.

use the tag #genlossweek2024 (and #1YEAROFGENLOSS on twitter) !

also, there's no right or wrong way to use the prompts! they are there to give you inspiration, not restrict you. if you want, you can disregard the prompts entirely, mix and match, or use both! the way they work is there's one "setting" prompt and one "abstract" prompt, there to give you a range of ideas :p

anyways that's all. have fun and happy genlosing ! I can't wait to see all the things you make!

Hello if you're new to Generation Loss from MatPat's video, know that MatPat clearly has no fucking clue what he's talking about, I would make a bigger debunking post but I'm on my phone 15 hours away from my computer so I'll leave that to someone else.

I realized something about Generation Loss that made me love it even more. Someone else has undoubtedly already thought of something like this but I’ve seen no other posts about it so I’m just gonna imagine that I’m clever okay here we go✨

During the finale when Ranboo was tied up to his crucifix, Hetch told him that when the mask had been off during the events leading up to that point, Ranboo had been fully in control of himself. Ranboo protested, saying it had been Showfall making the fatal decisions, that he was being controlled by them and had no choice. It was true that Ranboo, even while in control when the mask was off, didn’t realize exactly what was happening. It’s not like those moments of lucidity were ever long enough for them to figure out how to change anything. But they were still moments of lucidity. Tiny scraps of free will that Ranboo was given. And the choices made in those moments didn’t save anyone, but who knows? Maybe they could have, if Ranboo had played his cards differently. Ranboo argued that he didn’t have a choice, that there was nothing else that could have been done; he was horrified by the blood on his hands but denied that he could have changed the outcomes.

The day after the finale, CC!Ranboo told us on stream that there had indeed been an ending planned for if the majority had voted live, and they told us what it was, debunking the theories that the ending was always going to be death no matter what. They confirmed that the votes hadn’t been rigged, that the outcome was 100% true to viewer votes. After all, their goal, the very experiment that gave this Generation its name, was to see if we as a collective would actually vote to kill somebody. And just as they’d been hoping, we did. If you really want to see whether the majority would vote for death, you wouldn’t rig the vote because you’d never get your answer. That final vote was a test of our human psychology; we were the subjects of the social experiment. And yet there were still posts being made weeks later about how the ending was predetermined, about how our votes never really mattered, about how no matter what we did that box would have closed on his head.

At the core of this whole experiment, CC!Ranboo did to us exactly what Showfall did to GL!Ranboo. They gave us just enough free will that we were able to argue that we never had any at all.
