I can't believe I'm STILL debating The Cry of Mann with the Reddit community. (If you don't mind spoilers, see https://www.reddit.com/r/TroolTime/ for a glimpse at some of the weird debate this show has inspired.)
Honestly, it's given me hope. I'm even excited about Parallax again. I built up so much bitterness about how fandoms react to things they "love."
The success of TCoM reassures me that there are still people who not only will appreciate being fucked with... but might pay money for it. XD
