Psychicpebbles is a shell of his former self. Living through the modern internet has turned him into a soft, edgeless dickhead who doesn’t have feelings for or care about his Newgrounds roots. Someone who once was one of the most irreverent cartoonists on the internet abandoned the online world and now makes jokes about porn and nihilism being bad and complains about media having too much swearing. More and more, he’s bolstered by a wave of sex-negative faggots that see their nasty opinions represented in him and his show. This is why Smiling Friends is so mediocre and why it’s not going to get better. This is why the humor is years behind anything he’s ever done online, especially since 2016. This is why some of the jokes in Smiling Friends are on the level of reddit humor with a complete absence of any tongue-in-cheek attitude. This why he thinks doing the “the thing we said was going to happen doesn’t happen” joke is funny enough to warrant an entire 15-minute episode. He anesthetizes any feelings begging potential self-critique or improvement with the newfound veil of “””Positivity””” he drapes over everything he does now. Best of all, no one is ever going to check him on it, because the Smiling Friends audience of pedestrian youtube, twitter and reddit users who dropped him after Hellbenders because they never actually cared all want as much public recognition for liking it as possible, so they’re only ever gonna suck his dick and keep telling him that he’s making the best show ever. I’m going to miss the real Zach, but admit it, it’s over.
