You might be disingenuous, but anything that can connect the dots between Jurassic park, LotR, and the '23 Wonka can't be wrong in my book

Nah I mean it, I'm a big fan of this answer to my generation's cynicism/irony/doomerism.

Hell yeah. Kind of a THE_PACK vibe without the flagrantly ironic cringe

Edit: what the fuck am I talking about lol

No no I totally get where you're coming from with that comparison. It's ironic only in it's presentation. Everything else, the message, is sincere and positive. It's like a bridge to real, full faced sincerity.

Back when I was coming up the equivalent would have been a community where we make fun of racist idiots by... pretending to be racist idiots... Yeah, THE_PACK is a definite improvement to how we used to do culture on the internet.

I was there for that moment. We've learned to be more careful who we pretend to be, I think. Thanks buddy
