ABOUT THIS EPISODE
‘Everything is permitted, but nothing is possible.’
-- Michel Clouscard
Coldwar, dystopia, americophilia, the posttruth world, reality control, sonic the hedgehog, furries, vorelords, stealing videogame valour. It’s all here, and also is not. How the famous, design-by-committee ‘Needle Mouse’, and his incoherent lore, produced a culture of post-internet kink and uncanny valley normativity.
This week’s episode art are OCs produced by Cat Bluemke. Very nonheteronormative!
