I'd rather not psychoanalyze this

@EmoIsDeadAndSoAmI who did scott pilgrim do more damage to, "i'm not like the other girls" girls or sensitive young men

@lain
canonizing "The nerd gets the alt girl" as a foundational VVESTERN myth probably did more damage.
There's nothing intrinsically wrong with alt girls, BPD can be treated fairly well these days

@lain
we need counter-propaganda for the Hollywood falsehoods. Imagine a high school romcom where the nerd stays single and the jock is revealed to be actually quite caring and well-adjusted.
And then the nerd makes peace with it being Over by starting a tomato garden on his balcony or something.
Billions must cope

@EmoIsDeadAndSoAmI @lain Kristina she don't know I exist by Catch 22 (I know it's a song but still)

@EmoIsDeadAndSoAmI @lain that said, it's crazy to me that people don't read Scott Pilgrim as a parody of this kind of "emo morality", like do people forget that "Scott Pilgrim is dating a high schooler" is repeated a dozen or so times in the movie and comic

@lain Sonic is a well know pedo figure
