same here. Binge watched My Life In Film on YT a few months ago, all the comments were from Andrew Scott fans from 12-13 years ago :(

I'm having this experience with a videogame rn. The fandom is all just loadout dudebros :(

What's your current one, OP?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not normally one for tiny fandoms, but right now I feel your pain. *goes back to poking at Lisa Frankenstein fic that no-one will read.*

Oh yeah, they're out there. I met someone who was "on the fence....." (which I took as code for, they likely didn't feel validated enough to go full blown conspiracy theory)

I love a good conspiracy theory but only when it's not taken too seriously. Like "birds aren't real" or the "Marilyn Manson had a rib removed so he could suck his own dick" kind of thing. I can't stand it when people go all in to the point where they're hurting someone else (such as in the case of Sandy Hook), just because their own lives are so boring and meaningless.

And yes, I know some theories end up having some truth to them, but the number of folks who cling to shit that has no evidence, or shaky/fake evidence at best, is irritating.

Does he also think 9/11 was an inside job?

My mum is doing this image as a puzzle atm and I pointed out that all of their shadows are on white crossing stripes except for Lennon, whose is on black. Lennon would later get shot.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist (the closest I go to is aliens are real and Bigfoot exists but is being covered up) but the "Lennon is secretly alive/Paul is dead" theorists are weird to me. Paul sang at the Queen's diamond jubilee. Was that an AI/hologram then?

A lot of conspiracy theories involve evil minority members somehow, even ones you wouldn’t expect like Flat Earth. So if this one doesn’t, then it’s at least tolerable.

I don't know what British animation is like now, but Cosgrove Hall animation was the best when I was a kid. Danger Mouse and Duckula. Check it out, if you haven't done so before. The old stuff.

There were some good British comics back in the '80s and '90s, at least. 2000A.D was awesome!

[(Anonymous)]

Same thing that happened to all the arts here - a victim of austerity. Animation's not my thing, but every so often the 'why does Ireland produce so many great writers and we don't' debate comes up and the answer is normally 'extremely robust arts funding'.

[(Anonymous)]

my favourite comics writer is from Britain actiually: James Roberts, the writer of IDWs first generation Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye (later renamed Transformers: Lost Light). his writing isn't like anything I ever read in comics - wery complex, smart and witty, yet light when it's needed. when MTMTE was publishing, it got a lot of awards and stuff. oh, he also has a buddy Nick Roche whos a writer and an artist and publishes his own comics aside from art gigs.
but OP, you're completely right, these guys I mention published in USA. and like, no matter how many awards MTMTE got, Jro's now sitting without any comics job, in Britain or USA, and not for a lack of trying. it still blows my mind how even he can't find any gigs, despite awards and great reputation and beloved by fandom and all. oof.

Money is the big reason, followed by the limitations of what is here. Either it has to be something aimed towards kids (and even then, tv companies will choose the cheapest already-made cartoons from other countries over putting money into creating anything over here), or adult humor that had an even narrower chance of getting a foot in the door.
It probably hasn't helped that the landscape of tv has changed in the UK. There's more focus on streaming services over airing anything on TV, and recently ITV has closed down the CITV channel for good, where most of the more recent British cartoons had been airing.
It's not entirely non-existent, but by god it's diminishing. And that's just talking about TV animation shows - movies usually have to have half a dozen collaborations to fund any animation and I don't really know much about the UK comic industry other than it's still kind of there.

Honestly, I love him. His subplot with Shih-na is absolutely my jam—and that's all I'll say because spoilers.

Oh god, agreed 100%. It is all just bland (I like T'Pring though, I would be up for more Spock/T'Pring stuff). La'an and Kirk is just snoozeville and it felt so forced into the storyline. And Pike's partner (who is so boring that I can't even remember her name) is just dull as hell too.

In every case (Spock/Chapel; La'an/Kirk; Pike/Captain lady) it just feels forced and unnecessary to any kind of plot of characterization. Like there's some kind of imperative to pair people off.

If we need to have romantic relationships, then I would be way more interested in Chapel/Ortegas, or Chapel/M'Benga, or Pike/someone who is actually interesting, or, or, or...

Ah, the nation that inspired The Simpsons "slant" oil wells by Mister Burns, and introduced fake news and staged actors to the modern era.
