To all the Moon Knight fanfic writers out there...
Just a quick PSA from your friendly neighborhood Egyptology nerd about the proper use of the word “hieroglyphs” when writing stories:
→ Hieroglyph(s) are the symbols and drawn images used in Ancient Egyptian writing. “Did you have time to translate those hieroglyphs, Steven?”
→ Hieroglyphic is an adjective describing something that resembles or relates to groups of hieroglyphs. ‘Hieroglyphics’ is a rarely used term and is NOT interchangeable with ‘hieroglyphs’. “It was interesting, the symbols were hieroglyphic in nature but didn’t make sense when translated. It has to be another dialect.”
→ Hieratic is the cursive written language of hieroglyphs on papyrus scrolls or other forms of media (wall paintings, a limestone ostracon, etc..). “Can you write me a love letter in hieratic?”

C'mon don't be losers, instead of doing Watcher subscription giveaways just literally buy esims for Gaza or donate to non-profit charities like Care for Gaza, which actually help affected Palestinians and deliver food and other necessities to them. There's also a bunch for Sudan like the one set up by the ICRC. Don't give $6 just for a man to eat expensive shit on camera when that $6 can do so much for an entire nation of starving people.

Putting this comment on here because I feel like I’m actually going insane…
It seems like nobody in the comments even watched the video, complaining about how paying for content is difficult in this economy, like, that's why they are doing this! They cannot continue to make the content they want for free based on ads and sponsors alone. If you have paid attention to the "Making Watcher"s of recent years, their company is not, and has not been profitable. They are so dependent on advertisers for funding that it is becoming a restriction to the content they want to make (y'a know, like Buzzfeed was), so they had to find a solution. I don't know why you all seem to think you are entitled to free content, I understand not everyone can afford it but Watcher doesn't owe you content personally. Frankly, I doubt they wanted to put their content behind a paywall, but if it's that or not make content at all, of course they are going to try to find a solution. So no, they aren't "turning into Buzzfeed” because the massive problem with Buzzfeed was its restrictions on creative freedom and exploitation of its workers. If Watcher wants to produce fulfilling content that gives their editors, designers, producers, etc full creative freedom and a livable wage, this is the best option. If you want them to pay their workers the bare minimum and tailor their content to advertiser interests just so you can watch it for free, that's fine. Just don't pretend that they are some evil media mega-corporation and you are the anti-capitalist shining hero for saying it. You don't have to like it, and you don't have to continue to support them, but don't try to shame and demonize them for making an already difficult decision.
Many of you DO have an understanding of the difficult position our current economic system puts people in because you have experienced it, but you are so unable to extend that understanding beyond your own point of view. Look past yourself for a moment and think critically, and maybe you will understand their perspective. Much love for all of the talented people within Watcher who are doing their best.
And just to add, their format going forward is almost IDENTICAL to CollegeHumor-Dropout's streaming service format (even down to the free premieres and advocating for sharing accounts with friends), which most people praise to high heaven as "the only ethical streaming service." As a huge fan of both companies the stark difference in response here is actually astounding...

I wanted to reserve my judgement until I finished watching Steven Universe but now that I have. Why the fuck is there so much discourse. This is literally just a normal kids show. With an insane amount of good queer rep AND erasing gender roles in a way thats still groundbreaking today. Even with the complaint of the series finale being rushed, if you go into it with the knowledge that it got cut short so they had to cram it, that satisfies most of my Media Critique. You are all being insane about this for no good reason.

im sorry people calling watchers response "too late" are incredibly wrong. they took two days. the original announcement was posted on friday and then they posted their response to backlash the following monday. that's a perfectly normal respone time. they took the weekend to gauge the opinion of the fans, reformed their plan and then posted an update admitting fault. im not saying i think their response was good or bad but it was definitely quick.
