Sounds like a Controller talking to me.

[–] toynbee 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This post is the second time today I've seen an Animorphs reference. Before those, I hadn't thought about the franchise in years and wouldn't have remembered that controllers were a thing. Strange, since the book series was a huge part of my childhood.

In case you're curious, the other one was a JonTron video. I think he was caught in some kind of scandal, so I'm not sure whether to still like him, but I did enjoy the video. I was also somewhat astounded to realize Shawn Ashmore was Jake.

I remember the JonTron scandal from 2020, it was social rather than criminal. I like a lot of what he creates and has created, so I really don't care if it reflects who he is as a person.

Thank you for the information! Boy, seems like a lot happened in 2020 for some reason.

Stress, the rapid and sudden shift to everyone being part of an always-online culture, and the ongoing social disruptions. In all honesty, I believe that most of the online social / wrongthink scandals that happened in 2020 & 2021 would still have happened, but they'd be delayed and hit smaller niches.

The lockdowns were accelerators, not always direct causes. But we did all go insane.
