i’ll never not hold disdain for the idea of “content starvation” and the more i see people parade it around the more i hate it

i think v*ltron putting out eight seasons in two years really kickstarted this in online fan spaces specifically, but nowadays so many shows and games release things at an absolutely absurd rate. pokemon has been notoriously controversial for its crunch time and poor quality of games as a result, bingewatching culture has killed a lot of tv shows because executives have an expectation for instant success and will kill shows if they don’t meet it. and it’s frusterating to continue to see fans treat this like the norm when it comes to their favorite shows or games too. i don’t want to see things put out under absurd crunches. i don’t want to be surrounded by people who’ll cry “i’m so content starved!” and then dismiss the actual content they’re being offered in the same breath. i don’t want to see creators have to feel like they’ve got to keep up with the incessant demands of fans in order to continue making the thing they’re making. hiatuses are normal and there’s always plenty of other stuff to get into while you wait.
