Expansion: https://pastebin.com/0k7A0PPY On a side note, I am proud of my track record of nerd-sniping people with links to _Fallout: Equestria_ (http://falloutequestria.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout:_Equestria …). I wonder how many people I can snipe this time when the newsletter goes out?

Question for comic nerds: is there any more correct way of describing the MLP style than 'clear line' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligne_claire … ?

This calls to mind those classic experimebts showing post-hoc confabulation in e.g. hemispatial neglect.

I was thinking of it being a real effect. Like, why is MLP music so small compared to Touhou music fandom? I think it's because Ingram's *too* good: they're perfect as they are. While ZUN provides you melodies you can see how you can use in an infinite number of genres or remixes

(Something can be so high-quality, complex, and perfect that it silences any dialogue or imitation. You can only gaze on it admiringly. Any attempt to adapt it would simply make you feel ashamed about how crappy your result was. It has no affordances.)

Also interesting how presence of fandom only loosely correlates with overall popularity of a show. Some super popular shows have none, some are relatively niche but intense

Yeah, it seems fairly unpredictable. MLP or Vocaloid I feel are not that surprising, but Touhou is still an oddball.
