Context: Poison Ivy is with another woman that isn't Harley, even though their relationship is "complicated", Ivy internaly still feels bad about it and i guess that the way that her mind chose to represent that is to think of Harley there in the cuck chair.

Recently a few popular youtubers (Max0r, Layna Lazar, etc) have been making videos covering The Outlast Trials, the third instalment in the series that's also a multiplayer co-op game and that made me start to wonder:

Why isn't this game more popular?

Like, i get that it was originaly launched around the same time that Lethal Company was really popular and that caused it to be overshadowed, but, that was literaly 2 years ago and ever since then the game has been getting regular updates, seens to be in a pretty decent state and (according to the Steam Charts) the player base seens to follow the trend of big increase whenever a update drops followed by a slow decrease until the next update drops and the cycle repeats itself... So why don't i see more people talking about it?

And after some digging, i think i found the awnser: the game is (at least for YouTube) a TOS shitshow.

Everyone that i saw playing the game either had to do some HEAVY EDITING on their videos to censor certain parts of the game or just make peace with the fact that any content related to it would be demonetized/removed from the platform because apparently the YouTube moderation system is really not a fan of the content in Outlast Trials.

So i guess it makes sense that not a lot of people cover that game since doing so means that you're either loosing a considerable portion of your income or straight up not get to post said content (i think Twitch is more okay with it, but, YouTube is still a more popular platform for the vast majority of the population).

Recently during some interviews Robert Kirkman, the creators of the Invincible comics, talked about some of the differences between the comics and the TV show as his awnsers were basically "i was on my 20's back then and now i'm not".

Why is Tech Jacket a girl in the TV show when it was a dude in the comics? Because when he was making the comics he was only thinking about "does this look cool?" and maybe have a character or two that are refferences to his friends and acquaintances appearance, now that his looking back on it as a 47 year old he thought "hey, maybe the coalition could use some more diversity" and that's why the change was made.

A lot of the decisions on the comics and therefore in the show also fall on the category of being mostly "what Kirman in his 20's-early 30's thought it was cool" (of course with some thought put behind it to have it be well structured and work towards the general idea trying to be put across by the story), reading through that a thought crossed my mind "are we nowadays maybe overanalizing media too much?".

It's not uncommon for any piece of media to nowadays have either incredibly long video essays unraveling every single aspect of it or have people online discuss any detail that they can observe on it, while discussing about the media that you consume is far from being a bad thing, as time passes i'm more and more aware that, while the creators behind said media do put a lot of thought on what they are doing, some of the decisions can mostly motivated by "the creator thought this was cool at the time", "it was a refference to a show that the creator watched or someone that they know", "they didn't think about it in the same way that some of the audience seens to be".

Are people nowadays maybe thinking too hard about any new piece of media that they consume?

Multiple adaptations of Hundred Line Last Defence Academy have been confirmed including a stage play that will be going through multiple endings of the story over the course of multiple days and apparently some of them will be new ones.

Hundred Line will also be receiving a manga adaptation later this year, however, there doesnt appear to be a more clear release date for it yet.

Look, Yujiro Hanma is not a person that anyone would call "mindful of others", 99% of the time you can at most be glad that he isn't starting shit in a random part of the world, so him actually wanting to drop by his son's house to say some inspiring words of wisdown to him is probably the closest Yujiro has gotten to being a parent for a really long time...

But it would have probably been better if he hadnt decided to have that conversation right when Baki and his girlfriend were naked in bed and about to have their first time (and if said words of wisdown werent basically just him "blow her back out until you're no longer capable of doing it"), but, in Yujiro's head that was probably the best approach to the situation.
