Hail ErisFound out recently that two of my friends have never seen and were seemingly completely unfamiliar with any #studioghibli movie, even though both like tons of things (classic #Disney #movies, watching #anime with their kids) that seem relevant. Made me think about the phenomenon I call, "Fuck you, Dad." regarding #media recommendations. As in, "This might be EXACTLY my jam, and the greatest thing of all time, but BECAUSE I felt slightly pressured about it, now I'm NEVER gonna ON PRINCIPLE." 1/
It could be Wuthering Heights, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, Abbey Road, Starry Night, Court and Spark, doesn't matter. Someone suggested they should, so they'll go to their grave never looking at it because fuck you, dad. I get it but also I don't. Feels very "cut off your nose to spite your face"
