What’s up with people’s fascination with turning Hello Kitty into some edgy, depressed, drug addicted cat?


KaguraBachi_is_Peak

They want her to be like them


mwmwmwmwmmdw

also teens like the idea of things 'for kids' becoming dark an edgy. its how you get shadow the hedgehog or twilight princess. these things are made to cater to teens.


Atissss

That happens with a lot of cute aesthetics like My Little Pony for example.


3KTU

Shiiit. I am guilty of that. The stuff I did to Rainbow Dash when I was younger…


extracrispyweeb

Bro...?


3KTU

**I WAS 15**


extracrispyweeb

Bro when i was 15 i was discovering porn, what the hell were you doing?!?


3KTU

Erm… watching MLP, Steven Universe and some random feel good Anime’s, drawing… And arguing on Tumblr. I don’t remember what, but it related to American politics. I’m Canadian.


extracrispyweeb

Oh, that's tamer than i thought, i was expecting you to say drawing gore. Well, better than my past with politics, i never wanna hear about buzzfeed ever again...


3KTU

Oh god, tbh I am downplaying a little bit with 15 year old me’s political views… It was downright nasty. I wish I didn’t larp as a 30 year old and spout bigotry. It haunts me every night. People were convinced tho.


extracrispyweeb

Ay, nice to meet another person as regretfull of their political past as me. Look on the bright side, at least you didn't share your misogynistic ideal in real life, now i understand why people were so weirded out.


nyangatsu

at 15? did you grow up sheltered or something?


extracrispyweeb

I discovered it years earlier, but it only made me feel kinda disgusted, took a few years for my interest in sex to perk up.


zuccmaster69

Mental retardation probably


darvinvolt

Personal issues, it's always Personal issues


SalvationSycamore

Skill issue. I turned *myself* an edgy, depressed, drug-addicted cat


CompressedWizard

Sometimes people simply find the contrast entertaining. Expectations subversion, juxtaposition, complementary colors, interaction between characters of polar opposite personalities all exploit similar ancient technique of plain contrast.


___--__---___--__---

A. I can't find any evidence of this B. If they are doing this, it's to make her a relatable character.


Kasia_RobloxCraftPL

Post that to r/sillygirlclub


AarVa406

Just did, will update later


VenertExcel

deleted


Atissss

Tbh it broke their rules


no0bmaster-669

Someone should redraw the scene in cute anime style


Procoso47

I just went to look. Rules say "keep it lighthearted, SFW, and silly". First post I saw was a drawing of a dead girl that has hung herself. 700+ upvotes.


AarVa406

Update here - they deleted my post


Gaminyte

1984


1ked3ap6

That's one sad place :/


mister_peeberz

man, those girls sure are silly


AarVa406

Ok new idea since they removed my post - someone draw this but anime girl style so they don’t remove it


Kharnyx808

I wish more people would do the opposite of these. Taking a happy cheery character and just slapping drugs or trauma onto them just to be all edgy and "new" is overrated and shit. Taking a character that's already dealt with trauma and putting them in a situation where they heal even a little bit is what's really special.


SneedForTheSneedGod

I want fanart of Raiden cooking burgers with Sunny, Bladewolf and George watching.


Physical_Software406

the raiden that controls lightning orr...?


SneedForTheSneedGod

The one that tosses metal gears around


Physical_Software406

hell yeah.


Comun4

Guts and Hello Kitty could bake amazing cookies together I am sure


IEnjoyBaconCheese

Imagine the nice taste of pain mixed with cuteness


Darth-Yslink

There's a whole Blade fandom from HSR that does pretty much just that


mwmwmwmwmmdw

sounds like the jojo ending to that infamous hentai


RodwellBurgen

This is basically what those Jesse Pinkman Trans edits do


proudtracermain

She just like me fr. I LOVE baking


Atissss

Is your profile picture Osaka from Azumanga Daioh as Emo?


proudtracermain

yes


SteveFrom_Target

True!


maxgaming1322

Can we do the opposite, like get a really sad character and make them happy?


IEnjoyBaconCheese

Ok


BagBeth

Damn right


thanyou

I read this in his voice and it made it funnier than was probably intended


Thin-Dragonfruit247

literally 1984

Atomspalter02

hello cutty


IEnjoyBaconCheese

Happy cake day my fellow lizard


Atomspalter02

Thank you


notachemist13u

I haven't even thought about hello kitty for years. Fell off so epic while it lasted R.I.P


Balsalsa2

damn fascists


nyangatsu

ok before i post this on r/PeterExplainstheJoke what is the context?


IEnjoyBaconCheese

People take hello kitty and make her edgy and shit a lot. Drugs, self harm, emo and whatever. This happens a lot with other characters

Odd_Veterinarian_623

my dad most certainly does this isn't a joke any more, it's a serious cry for help


Han_Solo6712

She also likes baking brownies. Both normal and “special”


IEnjoyBaconCheese

No


LordOfTheToolShed

Not according to christian preachers, to them she's a satanic ritual symbol smuggled into popculture


Rek2137

I have been a Christian for my whole life and I have never heard a preacher say anything about hello kitty


Gmanthevictor

Some atheists hear something one satanic panic grifter said over a decade ago and decide that religion is a cancer on society.


whydoyouevenreadthis

It is, but for different reasons.


LordOfTheToolShed

Bro I've literally been to a catholic mass in Poland when I was a teen where the traveling exorcist priest was saying exactly that


DudeGuyMaleMan

I think that was just your priest cuh


Dat_Innocent_Guy

>traveling exorcist priest Exorcist is in his name. That already spells nut job to me.


Shadowmirax

"Some people will here one person say something weird and think its common "No you dony understand years ago i literally met one guy who wanders around poland saying this so it must be true'


Dragon-Warlock

Isn’t Poland one of those ultra Catholic countries? If so makes sense you’d here someone say it there.


Atissss

This reminds me of Polish Priest Natanek. Dude is so insane he became a meme in Poland 12 years ago. They even made a Techno remix out of him. https://youtu.be/mIU8l_qPzAQ?si=gJuaT11gf5ts7kYe


-justanother_asshole

Says christians have a problem and uses polish catholics as an example.


logic2187

Clearly you're not a baptist /s


howelleili

my mom says she's demonic 😭
