One of Those Splash People

Retweeting this because it's important and people seem to forget the deeper issue here. This isn't just about a movie being "banned" or a ride closing. This is about the villification of actual people's culture and the suppression of their oral traditions.

@Arantarisu_Yamu The fact they consider basic human values to be "conservative propaganda" is concerning. - Value your family. - Form strong friendships. - Protect the people you love. - Don't let grief consume you. How are those values harmful in any conceivable way??

Wait a minute.. So movies that are wholesome, family valued, a film meant for everyone rather than just the obnoxious minorities, and fun is now considered conservative?! At this point I dont understand why Sega/IDW even cator to you guys!

So... - Loving your family. - Having loyal friends. - Living for the memory of the deceased. - Turning trauma into something productive instead of destructive. ... Are all "social norms" that should be "left behind?" Yeah, no, I do not want to live in that world.

@KoronellukinhaC Terrafin mentioned

Among the shark, whale and orca characters, which is your favorite?

@NerdiestNic @Skeletondance0o It gets worse, scroll down and one of the replies is actually seething because Jelly Roll did a country song for Sonic 3 and that proves it's conservative propaganda apparently. Because country music is a dog whistle in their eyes. I hate it here.

“Cater to conservatives” and it’s just a movie that promotes good, normal family values The left has gone so far left that normalcy seems right wing by comparison

@KateFisher96 Yes. I believe so.

@SplashFan2000 Is this why Frontierland got killed because it leans too much into “red-state” backwoods aesthetic”?

See what I mean when I say "progressives" just loathe anything with a rural country influence? They cannot stand it because they see the genre as a conservative dog whistle. It's fucking unhinged.

Can you honestly see little girls begging their parents for this? What are we even doing anymore?

@Donutella_13 @Bronymon_ Because 90% of the time, those labels are never used properly, and you know it. Slightly right of center? Must be a nazi! Tired of identity politics being obnoxiously forced into your hobby? You're a horrible person! We're done with it.

@Bronymon_ A bunch of nothing to evade the glaring question of Why on earth you got so pressed over someone not wanting racists and queerphobes in the fandom lol, unless you're one of those you shouldnt feel as attacked as you've been all this time over that 🤷🏻‍♀️

“Oh! Self-report! You openly identify with one of those yucky labels?” Of course not you insufferable dim-witted fools. We both know that your logorrheic buzzwords are devoid of actual meaning, and are only used as cudgels against anyone you deem to be a political enemy. You parasites invade fandoms, play these stupid word games under the guise of “tolerance and inclusivity,” and putrefy the community till it becomes a cesspool like the TADC or Sonic fandoms. You can only create garbage. So, you latch onto healthy fanbases till they become miserable husks. You are the disease carrying rats seeking to bring your black plague of woke ideology into fandoms that have no need for your caustic toxicity. So again, shut up.

@BrerOswald Same. Depression sucks, I've been dealing with it for years. My advice is to force yourself to do something productive, even if you're not in the mood. It won't cure you completely, but it will make you feel a little more inspired and optimistic.

I’m tired of being depressed

Little rant about my experience as an artist and how I see AI bros' behavior When I was a kid, I was called a gifted kid because I could draw, and it fascinated both classmates and Adults. I'm sure a lot of fellow artists had a similar experience, since it was quite rare to see irl especially before socials became so widespread. Some were envious, some simply curious, and some trying to befriend me to get free art even then. Honestly I didn't mind the ego boost, but I noticed a repeated pattern of "I wish I could do that!" "you're so lucky you can draw" "you're so talented, unlike me", dismissing their own skills or insisting they couldn't do anything. Adults said something fun wasnt a real job, that I should think of getting a job like theirs instead. Now in the era of AI 'art', those same persons who used to envy artists have an easy access to an illusion of talent and skill. They spit on the stolen work of every artist whose art has been fed into AI to flatter their fragile ego and look down on artists. They say artists will loose their jobs and get replaced, when they don't even understand why that's false or what it takes. But the truth is they cope, they stay in the comfort of denial, saying THEY created the results AI give them. Saying prompting is a skill, because they want it to be one. They'd kill to do the same as artists, to have a passion, a talent, to captivate people and get praised for something they created with their own hands. To make money out of their passion. But besides AI bros boosting each other's egos, no one will genuinely compliment AI 'art'. And if anyone did, upon learning it was AI they'll take it back because it has no value at all. It's stolen, empty, and made with no passion or love whatsoever (and probably a ton of mistakes up close too) I just think it's sad because anyone can draw well. It just takes practice, but they're not even willing to try. Instead, they just hide behind insults and superior complex. Behind a false sense of achievement. NO ARTIST will ever say "you have no skill, you suck" to someone genuinely trying to get into art. The art community is very welcoming, just pick up the pen and have fun with us!

All the time and energy Disney keeps spending on removing every miniscule crumb of evidence that Splash Mountain ever existed, could be spent on fixing this broken piece of shit they're so eager to force down our throats. Just saying.

@KateFisher96 It's mind-blowing how much they're doubling down on it.

@SplashFan2000 Just let us be happy, is it that hard? They’ve probably LOST more money with all this then gained.

I'm genuinely asking, what was the point of doing this? What was the end goal? Who was complaining to guest services about having to hear a song on a bus?? This was done for absolutely no reason other than spite, and anyone defending it needs to ask themselves why.

@KateFisher96 I'm fully convinced there's some sadistic asshole at the company who just enjoys throwing Splash fans a bone and then immediately pulling it away.

@SplashFan2000 Here I am thinking we’re past the removal stage slowly inching into the “bringing things back” stage and then this happens

Idk, my school was full of normie sheep who couldn't stand the idea of me playing anything that wasn't a generic shooter/sports game. Saying you played a cartoon monkey game would get you publicly shamed in front of everyone.

The song would first premiere in the 1946 film "Song of the South" The concept for the song was created by Walt Disney himself, despite false claims of it being based off of minstrel songs. x.com/SplashMHS/stat…

@guscasco I'll take artistic integrity over toy sales.

@SplashFan2000 Look at the merchandising figures for cars .. it isn’t hard

I still find it astounding how Cars is the IP they chose to replace RoA. Y'know. The movie that literally tells you to slow down and take the scenic route... I have never known a company as out of touch with their own art as Disney are. It's incredible.

@Savethedmagic I'm willing to bet most of the big wigs in charge have never even watched 90% of the company's film library. It would not surprise me at all if they knew little to nothing about their own IPs.

@SplashFan2000 It is absolutely incredible. I can't imagine how messed up that meeting must have been when someone suggested ripping out ROA for that. You really wonder who is making these calls sometimes, and how out of touch they are.

@liminal__dreams Flintstones ahh movie theater
