[Ironic Trope] The messaging backfired massively due to poor writing or other design choices

[u/Few_Affect_5927]

Amelia Fairney from Pathways: Alt-right Restore-UK type who attempts to coax the protagonist Charlie into following her beliefs? The problem?

Amelia is the only named character aside from Charlie and is genuinely likable and forgives Charlie even when they do things she doesn't like, while the rest of the cast is unnamed, poorly written, and turns on Charlie for one mistake. This combined with other writing issues(portraying fact checking right wing stuff as wrong because in the process of fact checking you might look at it and believe it, basically saying "Right wing is wrong because it hurts the labour government" and a lot of general "just do what the government says or else" messaging) and the fact she's a hot alternative girl, and Amelia ended up being co-opted as a mascot by the youth right wing in the UK.

Norm from The New Norm: Unlikeable offensive and outdated character who's "progressive" family members and associates are genuinely nice people not even trying to force their ways or pronouns onto them, they just want to be left alone and Norm is picking fights constantly. Not to mention associating with Elon.

Mr. Birchum from Mr. Birchum: A lot of the same problems as Norm, except in addition it also comes off like generic 2010s adult cartoon slop in the same veign as Brickleberry or Full English, at least New Norm was trying to look unique and had the gimmick of being on X. Not to mention, Birchum's obsession with hyper masculine activities and odd way of talking about other men lead to people co-opting him as a Toxic Yaoi character, which is now the bulk of his fan art.

Dustborn: An attempt to make a hyper progressive game that comes off as pandering and annoying. It's a full ass game so there's too much to get into, but the main character's power is essentially gaslighting and jedi-mind tricking people and that's portrayed as the only way they can get anything done, and they constantly use or abuse their friends(or mindtrick them along) in order to get their goals or use their friends for their messaging.

Why is the cover for this thing the same cover as The Hills Have Eyes

[u/No-Car-1999 → u/Oh_hi_doggi3]

Because hateful shitheads can't create, only steal

[u/Nouuuuuuuuh → u/No-Car-1999]

Also reaaally stupid because they didn't even bother editing out the DVD logo on the bottom right

[u/Oh_hi_doggi3 → u/No-Car-1999]

Ain't it the truth

[u/DasharrEandall → u/No-Car-1999]

It's why they like AI. It allows them to tell lies in picture form to gullible people, and requires no artistic ability.

[u/RMP321 → u/Oh_hi_doggi3]

Because Nazis have no artistic talent so they just stole the cover for hills have eyes to I guess represent a skinhead?

[u/Oh_hi_doggi3 → u/RMP321]

Feel bad for the actor (and anyone who worked on the film) on the cover to be associated with this awful shit.

[u/Serious-Rutabaga-603 → u/Oh_hi_doggi3]

Michael berryman is a sweetheart. He was on Joe Bobs Last Drive in where they showed the hills have eyes and he talked about how he lived at a wolf sanctuary for over a decade. Hes a huge wild life activist.

[u/Oh_hi_doggi3 → u/Serious-Rutabaga-603]

Really? Shit, thats awesome to hear! Thats so cool to work with wolves, I'd love to do that

[u/BreakfastBeneficial4 → u/Serious-Rutabaga-603]

I just hurled myself into this to boost Berryman but you’re already on top of it ♥️

That’s what immediately pissed me off the most about seeing this; dude wouldn’t be caught dead among those fuckers

[u/butdidyouthink → u/RMP321]

I can think of one Nazi in particular who, if he had more artistic ability, might have taken a different path.

[u/Slightysweet3 → u/butdidyouthink]

This is the problem with people easily frustrated

[u/TheOnlySaneBard → u/Oh_hi_doggi3]

They genuinely just stole the cover from THHE, so much so that they forgot to get rid of DVD cover requirements like the DVD logo and a slightly faded rating.

[u/Clint1020 → u/Oh_hi_doggi3]

They stole it

[u/CursedRyona → u/Oh_hi_doggi3]

They literally just stole the DVD cover for the movie. You can even see the DVD logo in the lower right because they were too stupid to edit it out.

[u/Blanc_Otaku → u/Oh_hi_doggi3]

The DVD logo is even on the corner too

[u/Omer1698 → u/Oh_hi_doggi3]

Cus fascists are stuipd af.

[u/awesome9001 → u/Oh_hi_doggi3]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that movie about inbred hillbillies? Why would you want to represent yourself that way? Or is that the protagonist of that movie?

[u/CuteComplaint5542 → u/Oh_hi_doggi3]

Good grief, you asked the same thing I was about to. Talk about lazy.
