From Aaron Long's production notes on "Convention Report":>She's basically just a parody of 2010s "nerd culture" influencers, but people seemed to take the character more sincerely than I intended. As long as people enjoy it I guess that's okay too, although they might not like where she ends up later this season.What's going to happen to our girl?
Everyone forgets a lot of these geek girls were personalities hired by the companies on the assumption that the people in geek culture didn't have GFs. It wasn't that there weren't nerd girls but that picking hots over genuine interest in the subject was an actual mandate. (See: The gamestop business report surrounding a decision made related to exactly this subject which everyone agrees signaled the beginning of the end for the company before all the big promo and membership stuff)
>>152116606In her second appearance, didn’t it show she was unhinged. She literally wants to fuck Sublo - not the guy in the suit, but the character - and scares off the shows main Sublo from how crazy she got and how shitty her apartment was.Either that was what he meant, or she’s going to go full stalker and kidnap him
>>152116678Wait you mean the stalker part or her just being a dumb parody?
>>152116646>The gamestop business reportCan you elaborate?
>>152116842Yes
>>152116999Trying to look for it but it's a pretty infamous storyGo back to the 2000s, your average gamestop employee is most likely someone who likes video games. It was a priority in their hiring early onHowever, Gamestop had an idea that basically went>The average gamer is a loser who doesn't get to talk to girls often and will start coming into the store hoping to see them>Get cute girls>Girls don't like video games so drop that prior standardYou can even ask people back then, you noticed the shift. You couldn't ask for the same recommendations anymore. The girls were mostly interested in story-heavy stuff or nostalgic stuff while the majority of the video game market at the time was still aimed at men.A lot of the girls themselves didn't fare very well because when this strategy did work, it basically meant she had to sit there and take brazen attempts at select customers coming into the store with the intent of hitting on her and trying to woo her since that was the strategy. You had all kinds of crazy stalking reports and shit.So the core customerbase was screwed over in favor of horndogs who weren't actually buying anything.
>>152116606Is 2026 the year Sublo and Tangy Mustard gets the recognition it deserves?
>>152117721shame none of that is true
