More on Jackson Hinkle, continued from 30Apr#05
I'm putting these two together because they're good illustrations of two of Bob's Twitter habits. I'm ignoring all the politisperging because it's pointless to analyze a literal retard's understanding of politics (even though that hasn't stopped me before, sadly).
In the first, Bob says that arguing with people on Twitter is his "work break." Not only does that sound utterly joyless, but we already know that's false because he's doing this at all hours of the day. It's not a five minute break and then back to working on a video nobody will watch, oh no. He's clearly spending hours just doomscrolling, finding some rando to dunk on, acting smug, and then retweeting himself over and over.
And then in the second, Bob says that none of it matters because Twitter isn't real. So he willfully admits he's spending countless hours on a site he hates that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. For what reason, fatass? You could literally be doing
anything else with your time, but instead you just seethe in anger.
No wonder he looks like absolute shit these days. This ain't healthy, Blobbo.

But I thought that the Summer of Floyd was just a bunch of peaceful protests! Will Stancil is accidentally saying the quiet part out loud by admitting that they were, in fact, riots.

Bobby responds to Hemsworth's comment on
Whor. He thinks Hemsworth has been reading too much Twitter posts, and that if he keeps logging on he'd risk becoming another Zack Snyder.
It can't be that Chris Hemsworth can have legitimate regrets that he came to through his own self-reflection. Nope, according to Bobby, he was led astray by those damn Twitter chuds (y'know, that website that doesn't matter)! Taika's not gonna hire you, fatass.

Does Bob think that people legitimately didn't follow the plot of the MCU at all? They were all pretty clearly linked together, and people tended to discuss the series as a whole when they were talking about it and speculating on what would come next. Sure, you didn't necessarily
need to, but that's how it was marketed and that's how people consumed it. Naturally, when you title the grand finale Endgame, people are going to lose interest in what comes next; you told the audience that this is the end, and now you expect them to keep showing up years later? Dumb move.
Bob will really do anything to avoid admitting that his beloved Marvel isn't the cultural driver it used to be, especially because it means that he won't be the go-to guy for having insider knowledge that he wants to be, that insider knowledge being a cursory Wikipedia scan. Probably why he's latching onto James Gunn's DC reboot; we've already seen how smug he's been acting about his Wiki-fu skills whenever Gunn posts some panel from a famous DC storyline. That's like predicting the sky will be blue again tomorrow, Bob.

Tail end of that Baryy Jenkins rumpus, from 30Apr#12
Bob thinks that casually admitting to being an egomaniac narcissist makes him look good. Bob is not a smart man.

Bob remains hung up on the mascot platformer era, believing those to be the last true interesting character designs. Never mind that there was a plethora of shovelware platformers with mascots that literally nobody remembers anymore, they were better because Bob says so!

Generative AI. Don't know the details.
Bob, like basically everyone against AI art, remains woefully illiterate on how the technology works. I've said it before but it bears repeating: these models are based on thousands, even
millions of images, such that the individual contribution of any single image is borderline nil. There's no way to prove a particular image is part of the dataset, nor is there any way to determine how much of it is used to generate any output. You could have a model output thousands of images and not really be able to work out who's owed anything for each one, let alone "a dollar's worth of something I scribbled."
With Bob, it's true that it's not about morality (because we all know that his only moral code is Bob = good), but it's also not about people getting paid their fair share. It's in that last tweet: "charge everyone without talent an arm and a leg." Bob is absolutely
furious that people are able to make their ideas a reality without having to go through the process of finding someone to do it for them, and he wants to make it impossible for them to ever dream of having a creative vision that isn't gatekept by "artists." To that I say: fuck you, Bob, enjoy getting left behind.
