hello beloveds ☺️
Hey, so, like, what if we did 8tracks again, but better?
What if you could download somebody's fan-playlist, and then just Have It in one single, crossfaded MP3? What if perusing the site was formatted like you're browsing through someone's CD collection? What if there was a specific limit for songs per playlist, so there's no 400-hour long playlists filled with songs that only kind of fit the subject if you squint? What if you could team up with other people to do it? And what if you could do it with stuff you found on YouTube, and you could comment on each individual track choice?
Doesn't that sound awesome??
Okay, cool! Then go upload your playlists to Mixtape Garden!! There's only a few active users right now and it's a goddamn tragedy. Fuck Spotify

the steven universe hate is insane bc people are (or at least were) more upset that fictional war criminals got fictional hugs than they recognize that it singlehandedly advanced queer rep in children's media by lightyears and then straight up ate heavy retaliation for the nerve.
It does have real flaws that are worth discussing, but it also put their male protagonist in dresses and skirts and played it straight and even empowering, they aired a lesbian wedding on television, it was a genuinely queer, genuinely diverse piece of media through and through. It did a lot of real good for the real world.
But also the fictional characters caused fictional harm to other fictional characters, and didn't get an onscreen firing squad sentence. So, you know, it's basically ontologically evil in real life.
