Yknow, seeing how many people responded to that “how old were you when you got into KH and how old are you now” post saying they got into it when they were like 7-10 and are now 20+ got me thinking
I think there’s something to be said for how KH has grown up with its audience, like a lot of series will pick their target demographic and stick with it (Mario is primarily for younger kids, CoD is primarily for the 15-25 range) but KH has evolved in such a way that the kids who first played KH1 have stuck with it, and now their primary target audience is KH fans, not a specific age range/gender
Like look at the sheer tonal difference between KH1 and 0.2, they are not at ALL targeting the same audience in terms of ages/genders, but they are targeting the same audience in that they’re targeting the same people, who have all aged 15 years between the two games, so the tone has changed to reflect that
I think that’s a big part of why KH seems so impenetrable to people who didn’t grown up with it- these games are for KH fans who grew up on these games, so they lean into the lore hard and can pretty safely assume you have the background knowledge from previous games to keep up, but if you don’t have that knowledge then you have a TON of catching up to do to understand what’s going on
sandy cheeks would’ve voted trump that evil southern rat ass bitch
Sandy Cheeks is a pro-science feminist who lives in a foreign land that she respects the customs of and she would be offended you would even accuse her of this.
mr krabs would’ve voted trump
Mr Krabs absolutely would’ve voted trump.
Mr. Krabs would not have voted for Trump because Mr. Krabs earned most of his money through hard work (and being a cheapskate and get rich quick schemes but those still require some effort on his part) whereas Trump inherited most of his wealth and thinks a million dollars is a small loan, Mr. Krabs would consider him an insult to richness for which he could not stand.
Plankton would’ve voted Trump.
You think he needs competition taking over the world? Face it folks. No one on Spongebob would vote for Trump. None of them. Face it.
Bubble Bass
Shit. Dammit. Goddammit. Shit. God. Dammit. Fuck.
Squilliam Fancyson would vote for Trump
okay im just gonna put down my things here
- Plankton would not want competition, he would not vote for him
- Krabs would never respect a guy who bankrupted himself four times, he would not vote for him
- Sandy Cheeks is an independent scientist receiving grants from academies to further her research in foreign lands, so she would never vote for him. Also, she would never respect a man who made such sexist comments since Spongebob did that once (to motivate his pet snail like a traditional sports coach) and she kicked HIS ass over a fucking field.
- Patrick can’t spell so he couldn’t vote for anyone
- Spongebob is too nice and would never vote for anyone who used such inappropriate “bad words” during their campaign.
- Squidward is too lazy and defeatist to even vote because he thinks there would be no point.
- Pearl is a teenager and therefore too young to vote
- Larry Lobster is a trained medic and custodian and would not vote for anyone that crippled such services.
- Bubble Bass WOULD vote for him because Bass is an arrogant self-entitled prick who enjoys deceiving others just for the sake of humiliating them, and would approve of such a person.
- Squilliam Fancyson would also vote for him because he’s a wealthy narcissist.
- Mrs. Puff has a criminal record and is therefore not eligible to vote.
Squidward is a full time minimum wage retail worker who is pro-union and anti-capitalist, and also a firm supporter and member of the fine arts community. He would actively vote against Trump, defeatist or not, and you can’t convince me otherwise.
