cohost is better than twitter because here everyone was just like "yeah that is a clunky headline about dungeon meshi lol" but on twitter it left its target audience and i got chided by a bunch of randos who were like "actually calling dungeon meshi 'baldur's gate meets ____' in a headline is good because the author likes baldur's gate" or "um not everyone knows what dungeon meshi is so actually this clunky headline saying it's just two popular things western audiences are currently familar with mashed together without actually naming the show is helpful" and also people calling me insane for thinking that people clicking anime articles on polygon would know of studio trigger

oh i'm realizing this happened because multiple writers quote retweeted to chastise me for saying the headline sucked. i muted the thread long before this happened but these literally showed up in my recommendations. fun

unfortunately when you make your job your personality, all the shitty parts of it being criticized becomes a criticism of yourself. also that author is very much entrenched in extremely online games journalist land so they were bound to get riled up

I left a reply comparing the headline to calling Hollow Knight "Super Mario meets A Bug's Life" and some writer literally replied talking about how it's a good, effective headline. As if Hollow Knight is literally anything like mario or bugs life
