I had similar vibes when I saw Juno (2008) for the first time last summer and it really felt like it was straight from the vault. All the symbolic things like the soundtrack and fashions, politics were early Obama era hopeful (despite the recession), teens were Facebookians rather than TikTokians. Seeing Ellen Page, who did a great job, act straight really jumped out. It was like she had been an antropologist watching straight culture from outside in her whole life and turning the results into performance.
I remember when it was a Cool comedy to see but none of my friends were interested in a pregnancy themed movie. Well, they were wrong.
I think these are related: valuing super unapproachable games has had a quite a bit of connection with worries about minorities getting into the pastime. Ergo, it's not a surprise to hear a tantrum like this after the failure of the title afterwards if the main problem was learn-to-swim-or-drown difficulty curve.

You have convinced me. I was trying to think positively. Again, it has led me astray.
