[violexides]

u know i did not actually watch squid game but i know enough about it second hand to say that i feel like all of the corporations / rich ppl who are trying to like recreate or joke abt or incorporate squid game references in their marketing have vastly missed the point. which like i know its definitely either purposeful or theyre too disconnected from reality but like. i really just need everyone to touch grass and also for billionaires to realize that not everything is for them 

#ides.txt #discourse #again i didnt watch squid game but just like. #idk i feel like this happens a lot and its like #idk its frustrating #they are trying to market based on what is popular at the time and like #with how marketing as a whole tends to work these dyas that's like how u do it #so like even if i understand it from the logical perspective its still just shitty #bc for all of the people just doing this to sell stuff (WHICH IS STILL BAD BTW when its coming from corporations nd shit) #there are at least a few of them who GENUINELy just dont get it #anytime someone creates a work of art criticizing the system #the people at the stops of the system keeping it in place find it entertaining #bc they completely miss the subtext bc they can't recognize their own actions #edit: i have written out a whole thing that would prelude an essay about this topic lmao #my interest in marketing and political science and rhetorical analyses of media and the subtext in media strikes again!
