this, too, is about the "endlessly antagonising subcultural hypercrush" from my twitter blogpost (in some broader sense. it's not really about twitter at all, but maybe it would start to explain something)

that example about the game "set in the future" sticks with me and i am very thankful that i could find this again thanks to chatgpt (sigh. i wish there were other ways. google used to work for this kind of thing)

@hikari this was great, thank you so much for sharing it.

@Talen_Lee oh hi! i'm glad. did it find particular resonance for you as an australian? i think it meant something to me when i originally read it because of my english/scottish background, but i no longer remember what i felt about it at the time

@hikari Yeah, a lot. I did something on Culltural Cringe last month, too - shared it on my TL.

@hikari thinking about this one some more-

Non-US movies getting panned by US film critics is especially depressing because a lot of US filmmaking (and Hollywood in general) feels like garbage? Everything is simultaneously designed for everyone and no one.

We could use more perspectives in film. Genuinely.

@hikari Maybe this is my autism esoterica brain, but I feel people have too low of a tolerance for culture that is 80% understandable and 20% different.

I wish more people interrogated their knee-jerk reaction towards cultural cringe.

@hikari I feel like the article should also complain about Australians basing buying decisions on American reviews. It's one thing for a foreign market to not accept your exports, and another to allow them to destroy your local market.
