#oh shit I think he might've just gotten silenced in the group

The Animorphs fandom is really chill, which is nice. But there's one post about the reprint covers and whenever anyone tries to explain that Scholastic was trying to appeal to contemporary kids/visual branding/the covers weren't that bad, a dude is just freaking out over and over with the most bad faith/cherry picking arguments, and I think he thinks he's "owning" everybody, but it has gone from annoying to just plain funny that he's got his head so far up his ass.

#like ah yes you don't understand visual branding and now you're loud and angry about it #something something people are loud when they want to sound smart #my fave is when someone's like 'they didn't reprint these for old fans. they wanted new fans' and the guy is like WHAT KID WOULD PICK THESE #based on my time in a middle school.... the new covers were preferred by kids lol #the lenticular covers honestly weren't that bad but he purposefully keeps on reposting the in-between photos of it where ofc it looks bad #wait'll somebody tells him about the graphic novels #oh shit I think he might've just gotten silenced in the group #nice dude #Animorphs
