Lloyd Dupont Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 New show on Netflix! Where the deepstate, lizard people, aliens, whatever is all real! 😮 It's a comedy / animated cartoon. Looks fun so far (only halfway through episode 1) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Absentia Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 More conspiracy-theory-as-entertainment. It was getting old by the end of the '90s, and it's poisoned the well of social discourse. Along with zombie apocalypses, it's past time to move on. !I! Quote ...developer of White Rabbit Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, I more-or-less agree; but I do find it regrettable: those conspiracy theories have been vastly entertaining to me, through the years... 1 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Absentia Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I get it. I used to enjoy it, too, when Illuminatus! and the Weekly World News poked fun at an invisible fringe or featured obviously -- and badly -- manufactured hoaxes that we could all laugh at together. And then the Internet connected the True Believers in safe spaces to legitimise the horseshit and then amplify it. Now it's metastasising. I'm on a soapbox again. But making a comedy about this sort of thing is like marketing menthol cigarettes. Smooth, cool flavor and 25% less tar and nicotine is still part of the problem. Besides, it's a poor man's Rick and Morty. !i! Quote ...developer of White Rabbit Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
