@patriarchalape @grey how are writers still thinking "what if bad guy was actually GOOD GUY" is good writing in 2026
@sun @patriarchalape @grey The guy who make it, supposedly made like 10 different variations of "what is superman was evil" stories. And somehow its super popular and people treat it like its worth anything. 
Not a fan of capeshit, but capeshit with subversion is even worse, somehow. And X+subversion is the most popular form of entertainment these days.

@Marakus @grey @patriarchalape the first and last thing worthwhile as subversion of capeshit was watchmen, I liked a few other things but they were all superfluous to taht
@sun @grey @patriarchalape The guy who made it, hated that the audience liked his strawman Rorschach, instead of the faggots and whores and degenerates and rapists.
@Marakus @grey @patriarchalape he didn’t understand why what he made was good but it was still good. Many such cases. Death of the author and all that
@Marakus @grey @patriarchalape it’s actually funny how hard he tried to make Rorschach unlikable and it made people sympathetic because the author was so out of touch
@sun @patriarchalape @grey And all of it is from the anti-fans. They hate the genre they subverting, without understanding, and only with spite. Konosuba is a subversion of a isekai genre, which become one of the best works in the genre. It mocks the tropes, but enjoys and plays with them instead. Reanimator by Lovecraft is a subversion of Lovecraft stories by Lovecraft himself. Its a comedy set like a horror story. To make fun of something, and for it to actually be fun, you need to be a super fan. But modern media is the opposite, its super haters making fun of the original creators and original audience.
