• Well, finally back to the demo:
  
  I really like such pieces of work. At first it´s a cartoonish joke prod of pop culture and insider jokes, but beyond the thin surface is a huge area of deeper meaning to be explored. And unlike an open ending just drops you more or less in the middle of nowhere there are plenty of clues and hints how it might be intended and one can hardly tell how much of it was actually planned by the author and where your own interpretation took over.
  
  So far giZMo, KB, Gargaj and MrsBeanbag already summarized quite well how I perceived and interpreted it (and how I think it might to be interpreted alternatively),
  
  From a quality point of view the most stunning aspect is how well the various layers of cartoon joke, scene/90s insider jokes, criticism of common media and social tendencies, childhood memories beyond caricature, meta telling, archetypes and self-references are layered and intertwined:
  
  E.g. the starting scene which looks quite like childhood with adults which haven´t realized that children are usually smarter than they think, afternoons are boring (the ??? clock indicates that time is irrelevant since it doesn´t move anyway), and suddenly you´re in the middle of a poppy-like ASMR clip.
  
  Or the soccer scene when you´re basically waiting/fearing the ball hitting Kevins face and suddenly get interrupted by those advertiselets with their beyond braindead games and gifts in order to get a second chance for hitting itself ending up in a cinematic slow-mo cut - Wilhelm approves, and whack you´re deep back into Spacepigs.
  
  Interesting that no one mentioned already that it is Kevin itself shooting the ball - but that mirrors perfectly the tension between "Kevin is dumb an sucks" and "oh I am Kevin, too", and you never get to know whether he is just a placeholder or an actual individual.
  I also like the different interpretations it allows - while I see it primarily that Kevin is a hero because he survives by being passionate in a less-than-supporting environment the reverse that he breaks in the end makes equally sense as well.
  
  Seeing Kevin as a depiction of disabled persons isn´t that far off either: Children are comparably clumsy, less skilled and savy due to lack of experience and training and having teeth falling off and in weird positions isn´t a normal condition either. Yet we all have more or less experienced that situation for quite a while, and still no one would call a penguin disabled since it is a bird which cannot fly.
  
  There´s still way more to say / put into this demo, but so far:
  Kevin, I want a demo from you!

  I don’t get what’s “poisonous” about realizing that works of art can have effects unintended by the creator or undetected by the majority of the audience, and that those effects are very real for those concerned, and discussing that issue.

  
  
  Let me translate that for you:
  
  
  Quote:

  I’m not saying you want to mock disabled people.

  
  "I don´t blame you"
  
  
  Quote:

  I say you do that by latent discrimination

  
  "But I actually do blame you"
  
  
  Quote:

  and I hope you understand I’m not judging you.

  
  "Because #I am the good one ©®™ and it is all your fault"
  
  
  
  Quote:

  That is, unless you subscribe to the notion that all critiques are personal attacks and demands for censorship, as many do.

  
  
  In fact it is a damn wicked form of censorship:
  Instead of prohibiting or penalizing this way of thinking installs scissors and blinders in your mind. Thus you are not only censoring yourself but also feel good doing so.
  
  If you do not realize why this is a major threat (even worse than the ongoing erosion of privacy) then you´ve either already fallen victim to propaganda or doing it on purpose.
  
  And yes, it is a totally sane reaction to feel personally offended if someone wants to force you what you have to think. Freedom of speech is useless when you are blocked from thinking and reflecting about it.

• phazoon: Don´t you realize that this kind of hysteric hypersensitivity and overcritical political correctness is way more poisonous than any potential meanings one might interpret into?
  And I´m pretty sure Kevin would agree as well ;)
