i guess that bothers me in part because i think sincerity is something that online communication easily loses, and that people are pushed to lose.

sincerity is, for lack of a better term, not very marketable. simply because sincerity is so individualized.

but i also see meme culture trapping people into vortexes of irony and pithy quips. and those things are nice, but they don't often make a fulfilling life on those things alone.

be sincere! be wildly sincere! be honest in your loves and dislikes! tell your friends you love them, tell people whose content you've enjoyed how much you've enjoyed it, tell the world how much you like things!

and when you're struggling, be sincere about how you're struggling; you will find that is a great way for people to also sincerely offer help and support!

be sincere in who you are! it's frightening, but it's worthwhile! i promise!

sincerity gets pushed out as 'not on-brand' and 'not fitting in here', as 'childish' or 'stupid'. but it's sincerity that we most often use to relate to one another as people and as fellow human beings.

'cringe culture' is entirely built around the antithesis of sincerity, you know? if you sincerely like a thing, if you get really enthusiastic about it, that's 'cringey' and there's a huge push to shut it down.

i don't know if these 'don't be sincere' impulses need to be fed more, tbh.

Reminder:

And if you dont give up, maybe you too can go from this, to this

the Theme of Solid Snake arrangement in smash ultimate is more a loving tribute to solid snake as a character than literally anything post-Kojima Konami has ever done

If you don't get why, its a synthwave cover of the song. thus making snake finally match up with the theme song of the character he's a send up to in the 1st place: https://youtu.be/f1JYDmo19to
