A Scooby-Doo Who’s Who
EWe’ve dabbled in fanon. We’ve dabbled in canon. And now, we dabble in doo. Scooby-Doo, the franchise centered around a dog that talks funny and his owner-friend (sounds like a complicated relationship (not for him!)) who is a stoner who loves to eat help their boring friends solve crimes while driving around in a van. […]
solipsism.txt
EWe know. Any episode on any subreddit could be called solipsism.txt. This one is about people who have decided their sexuality is “attracted to fictional character” and they talk about how much more valid their love is than the character’s story, creator, or personality. It’s a healthy thing for young people who don’t have problems […]
That’s So Mantid
EBack in the day people used to have to write into magazines and call radio show hosts to talk about their encounters with the most explainable unexplainable things and it created a weird subculture where it became more and more difficult to determine whether or not the people involved were incredibly stupid or incredibly unwell. […]
The Tedious Bois – Worth It?
ESo back when we read about Goodreads reading the classics, we were introduced to the 7th most popular book reviewer on the site, a one Miranda Reads. She likes to pull her hair and make wacky faces to indicate she didn’t like something, and then she applies that same approach to the words she writes […]
Big Changes over on Reddit
ETRANSFORMATION FETISHES Yeah we did that again. This time on Reddit. You’re welcome? Let’s have fun reading between the lines as we discover what life is like for the fine folks at r/TransformationRP. Here’s a hint, they ain’t so fine… This week, Extra Credit is solving for f([(m4b),(F4m-F)]-futa4ne1).
Smokin’ Hot, Dead Sexy
ESmoking is bad for you. It makes you smell. It makes it hard for you to run marathons. It stains your teeth. It can even kill you. And isn’t that kinda arousing? r/darksidesmokingfetish is the subreddit for Darkside Smoking Fetish, a subfetish of the Darkside Fetish family of fetish communities. They are really into the […]
What Happened, Oh Beloved Corn Exchange?
EIf you ever needed more proof that user-submitted reviews were useless garbage well… Have we got an episode for you! Yelp is filled with self-important, unworldly losers who are low-key (or high-key) racist on the regular spouting opinions that will never truly impact anyone and accomplishing little but generating a small amount of smug satisfaction […]
The Cards that Count (Part 2)
EWe spent all day talking about gambling in a room at a lake house in our mind and though we started with periodicals on blackjack, we ended on a book that was full of crap. It was also about craps. But like… Where it’s not explaining the rules of craps (which of course we don’t […]
The Cards that Count
EYou know how every gambler insists they have a system and they know what they’re doing? Well those people are idiots. Ploppies! They aren’t the true geniuses that write for and read the quarterly publication Blackjack Forum. That’s right, we’re going back to physical media yet again to find some of the most obnoxious, embarrassing, […]
If You Don’t Like This Episode, Then You Are Stupid.
EI know that sounds harsh, but it’s the truth. Flights of Fantasy–featured on Gaming in the Clinton Years, hosted by the NAVGTR channel, and largely presented by a one George Wood, a baffling man with a confusing “sense” of “humor”–was a cable access show about video games. What’s cable access you ask? Well, it’s a […]
Avoiding Tulpability
ETulpas are… We’ve done this before you guys come on… FINE. Tulpas are a projection of spiritual focus and meditation to attain uh… Something or other sorry, it doesn’t matter here because we’re talking about how children online create really shitty imaginary friends by doing some bullshit that someone else on the internet told them […]
Romancing the Spussy
ESpongebob Squarepants is a subject we’ve somehow discussed heavily already on a prior episode, but what if instead of tedious debate regarding the vital statistics of this cartoon character we just moseyed on over to AO3 instead and read about his private life with Squidward? Much like how andersd5 wrote exhaustive stories about Chris Redfield […]
Mr. Producer. I Wrote You All The Songs
ETaylor Swift. Singer, songwriter, trendsetter, jet-fuel burner, music-owner, sapphic icon… Hm? What’s that? You say that Taylor Swift, performer of dozens of songs about the men she’s dated, isn’t queer? Ha! Well, if her lyrics aren’t queer then… Well… Impossible. That would be cringe. Come celebrate the gayest American Songstress Reddit can think of on […]
Justin and Me & Voon Muhn Make Three
EYou ever wonder what a website is about? Us too. Elprehzleinn (which means Excellence is Just The Way It Is, so don’t get it twisted), aka https://mediazdesign.com, aka elprehzleinn.ca is a digital graphic design website run by JorjeJj Z. Elprehzleinn and Robyn Elprehzleinn aka Voon Muhn Rahn aka Justin (but that’s a different body). JorjeJj […]
Ace Bayo Says: Don’t Fucking Bother with These r/antisex Fascists
EHave you ever had someone just start talking to you about the evils of sex and sexualism in society? How the filthy sexuals are continuing cycles of abuse and only think with their junk? No? That wouldn’t surprise us because the people at r/antisex are the most introverted liars on the planet, but you should […]
Cries, Thighs, and Dejected Sighs
ERemember the Crying Lovers’ Forum where we read about dacryphilia, the fetish for crying? Remember how sometimes we do a deep dive on a specific person because they just make us go “w-what?” Well here’s your reminder! Amans Lacrimae and Lucky_Princess[some numbers] are having a dubiously consensual cry fetish rp that’s hundreds of posts long. […]
Short: How Dare You Copy My Race and My Glam
EHey all! Sorry for the delayed releases. Stuff’s coming. For now here’s a short. It’s probably not for everyone. Maybe it’s for no one. But it is voices reading dumb things that we recorded so… You’re welcome? Sorry.
Classics of Book
EDespite what the posts we read from the internet would suggest, people on the internet sometimes actually read books. Books that people care about. Classics, if you will. What’s a classic? Whatever’s tagged as classic on Goodreads, obviously! Let’s figure out which some classics are much reviled by the sharp-minded, sharp-tongued folks over at Goodreads, […]
Barnabas Stop Reading Ahead
EOn the internet, we often find ourselves inundated with impressively bad erotica. But did you know that before the internet people were also bad at writing flirtation, foreplay, sex, and fetish play? Okay, but did you know they were also GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?! Hommi Publishing is on a mission to catalog gay pulp romance novels from the […]
Bigger Than Before
EA day late, a dollar short, and two couch cushions bigger than before… Fantasy Feeder is a place we’ve been to maybe once before. Or maybe twice if you’re from THAT loaf. But what’s important is that we never ever get full anymore so you may as well watch as our bellies grow comically large […]
Deja Vu All Over Again… Again
ESynchronicity is apparently when something is almost but not quite a coincidence or something. Look it really doesn’t matter. What does matter is that when things happen it’s only because all things were destined to give me a tingly feeling in the back of my head. That’s why I go to reddit and tell everyone […]
$350,000 in Penalties
Ealt.horror.werewolves was once a place where Usenet members could post about werewolf movies. Then a bunch of furries took over and started talking exclusively about being werewolves. In order to get people to stop expecting discussion about horror movies and instead expect serious discussion about someday seeing the real them in the mirror and how […]
h♱♱p
EJesus loves the little forum users. Probably. The Christian Teen Forums is a place on the internet that begs the question “A forum for Christian Teens? What could possibly go wrong?!” And then you read it and you say “Oh right. Obviously all of this could possibly go wrong. And has!” You have your doctrinal […]
Gaming in the Clinton Years
EThe 90s: A time of Tamagotchis, Talkboy tape recorders, and, yes, magazines about video games. These relics of a bygone era form the heart of our culture in a way only consumerism can manage. Some come along with us as we travel twixt the years 1991 and 2001 through words and song, though with the […]
200 (Give or Take) Part 3
EWe top off our 200-ennieal extravaganza with another Hodgepode Documodge! Join us as we dive into the offerings of Secret Gaygent 69, the lizzerd, and more! Thanks for listening for ~200 ‘sodes, the next 200 are on us! (as were the last 200. we got a lot of ‘sodes to give away, only mildly past […]
200 (Give or Take) Part 2
EPart 2 crew, the B-team, the idea that keeps on giving… In this part, a bunch of us go back through old documents and read stuff that had been skipped over, or we dug deeper and found more new things to read that were even worse. See, we finally got around to it! Some of […]
200 (Give or Take) Part 1
EWow! 200 episodes! And yes we did do 200 episodes. Real fans know. The rest will just have to deal. Today Shell asks some of our newest readers with the oldest roots about their ancient forays into the internet of yore. Turtle, Positronic, and Spaced God take us back to a time when the community […]
The History of Magnemite and Other Stories
EPokemon on the internet? That must mean sexy sex gross fetish stuff, right? Wrong. Well, mostly right but in this case it’s wrong. We challenged doc makers to construct a document about pokemon in which nothing sexual or fetishy was happening and dammit we eventually got there. Mostly. Gany and Likely JUST Dijon might have […]
The Essential Christofascist Filmgoer’s Guide To Hollywood
EYou might all think the internet is just a place for messy queer representation and inflated Chilly (Bluey’s mom, keep up people) but actually the internet is filled with examples of brave souls trying to save American society from itself. The ChildCare Action Project: Christian Analysis of American Culture Ministry (CAP Ministry) is a place […]
Simulacra and Stimulation
EAI chat bots are everywhere, and yet the one place dudes on the internet still can’t manage to get is in their pants. Replika is one of the more bullshit of bullshit AI friends, in that it promises to be unique to you rather than just dump all the data when you close the session. […]
Above Ska-P Secret
EAbove Top Secret is a conspiracy theory website where everyone types exactly how you expect them to and their forum design is exactly as bizarre as you would expect it to be if you expected it to be anything beyond two too bright colors. But that doesn’t matter. You know what matters? Reel Big Fish. […]
A Bad Judge of Character
EHey did you know there are other tabletop games you could play that aren’t Dungeons and Dragons? If the answer isn’t “uh, obviously” then you probably have a vague idea that maybe some kind of superhero-based game exists or something and you’re just not ready for something that complex, so you’ll just stick to the […]
Short: Apelogue
EIn this short (genuinely a short!), Frank West shares with us the final entry in an edition of the Year’s Best Fantasy collection. Enjoy?
Hump Scares
EFive Nights at Freddy’s was a bad jump scare horror game about animatronic mascot characters who kill you or something. This trend has exploded into a disgustingly bloated pustule of fan games and ripoffs to the point that Secret Gaygent 69 plays them for us sometimes and he never runs out of content. So we’re […]
ヒーブの野郎
EAfter we spent 2 hours reading only half of the document, we realized there was no way we could do the goons justice in one sitting, so we made another episode that’s just more Something Awful anime recommendations. There’s fewer isekais in this one, but that’s just because we’re going backwards so we’re more in […]
ヒーブちゃんはまた元に戻った。
ESeveral years back, The Heavenator brought us a bunch of anime recommendations straight from the Something Awful Forums’ recommendation thread. The rule was we had to interpret each anime as they were described, with no outside knowledge permitted to taint our observations. The results were pretty goofy to say the least, so we did it […]
It’s A Toy!
EHave you ever wondered what it would be like to have a baby? Yeah it sounds like a lot of work right? And for what? The shitty little thing might not even be successful and pay for your retirement and let you buy them their clothes forever! Isn’t there a better way? Well yes! There […]
Unidentified Podcast-Like Media
EA long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a bunch of bullshit words were said or not said prompting countless nerds and losers to catalog every single one of them. Yeah, that’s all you’re getting from us, reference-wise. Wookiepedia is a place where Star Wars detritus goes to live forever, sorted into […]
Often Harder on the Man
EThe process of childbearing/birth is something often described as a miracle. It’s little surprise then that people on the internet are turned on by it. But what if, and stay with me here folks, what if a man could get pregnant? Sorry what? Trans men? Fucking shut up you piece of shit. We’re not talking […]
The Boobs Are Fine but Let Me Tell You about the Card Game
EPorn comes in every variety in high volumes. You can’t shake a dick without finding someone who wants to help you cum. It’s so hard to know the good from the bad, though. There has to be a better way! Too bad all we have is members of the internet using their rudimentary writing skills […]
Beyond Evil and Evil
EThe Villains Wiki is yet another compilation wiki categorizing everything in media that has ever been cast as a villain. They have slightly better quality standards than you’d imagine. The Villains Fanon Wiki is yet another compilation wiki categorizing everything in internet memes and creepypasta that has ever been cast as a villain while also […]
They Got My Worm!
EYou ever feel like you’re being watched? You ever know you’re being watched by undefined groups of people who inevitably include your coworkers and your ex-wife? You ever see one thing twice and go “That’s no coincidence!” Well crank that up to 11 and start posting nonstop and you’ll be amongst the Targeted Individuals who […]
EC Mini-Series – Mane Street Blog Part 5: The Satsui no Hado
EHere we are at the finale of our very first (and possibly last) mini-series, where we dip into the Poisonous lake of social commentary and …. queer? th….eory????? Yeah no okay this is just about how the Satsui no Hado is repressed sexual energy. Enjoy and thanks!
EC Mini-Series – Mane Street Blog Part 4: Judge, Juri, and Executioner
EIn part 4 of our exhilarating 5 part mini-series, we actually talk about The Street Fighter Code. It’s like The DaVinci Code. It also tries to answer the question “Who was Jesus, really?” This is why media literacy is important, people. There was a late change in editing that made the titles and art not […]
EC Mini-Series – Mane Street Blog Part 3: The Truth About M. Bison
EIn this installment, Steven Mane turns his laser focused eye upon the reality-crossing powers of a one M. Bison, because… um… A lady on twitter asked him to, kind of? We also go over the unfortunate foot-fetishist reality that is Juri…….. on a pocky box…. . …. . . . ….. and on a third […]
EC Mini-Series – Mane Street Blog Part 2: Akira Kazama’s Bittersweet Symphony
EPart 2 of this 5 part mini-series. This time we dive deep into why oh why didn’t they make a crossover character have a dark and gritty impact on the SF world? Also some nonsense about making oil out of babies. Join us again as we call bullshit on a supposed shitpost in this nonsense […]
EC Mini-Series – Mane Street Blog Part 1: The Truth About G and Q
EA format shake-up! We read about a guy who has Street Fighter fan theories for 3 hours and dammit we just can’t do that to you. So instead enjoy this five-part mini-series on a man whose whole shtick is pretending to be a funny haha wacky game theory guy while actually being a guy who […]
To Sleep, Perchance to Cream
EIf there’s one thing that can be said about science and the internet as a whole, it’s that they have never tried to figured out just how penises work. It’s the big gaping hole in our biological and sociological knowledge and who better than a smattering of men obsessed with their nocturnal emissions to rectify […]
Freature Complete
ESteam is a platform upon which more and more shit is shuffled, so what if we read about that? Much like the last time we read about Steam games, this time won’t be too much different. Sit back and let us extol the virtues of Secret Gaygent 69’s 3 Hs. Horror, Horny, and HUH? This […]
Reddit Asks
EReddit has so many questions, particularly about the mythical beast that is woman. So powerful is Reddit’s need to Ask Women, it cannot be contained by one or even two subreddits. No, in order to facilitate conversation with EVERY possible lady query there need to be an ever-increasing amount of splinter subreddits to collect the […]
