It was definitely still complaining, but more about the toxicity of a culture of complaint.


So yeah... it reminds me of a xkcd cartoon:

Very true.
And yea, people can't even complain right these days

In my story, the trackies are the powerclass but are mostly dependent on the wheelies for long distance/high speed transportation and so the wheelies are made to feel shameful and inferior so they don't realise they hold an advantage.

How about trackies and wheelies just get along with eachother, because they both know that they're both limited by their inability to interact with the physical world, besides blowing things up?

@Hl

Well, I guess it depends on wich angle you look at it from, but actually, people can complain really, really well, nowadays!

They just do it too much....

I like to complain, but sometimes I realize that what I complain about is something I've complained about before, just in a different situation. So I just don't bother.

That reminds me of something I thought up back in high school. The idea that nearly all the problems within human society are rooted in personal insecurity.

Not sure about that. They often just say "I don't like it because." Without any real reasons.

That wouldn't have gotten fourth-wave feminists to where they are now, would it?

Oh, and spoiler alert. The cars in "cars" aren't cars, but a hyperevolved species of insects in the period after human extinctions...

Ironically, it was IHE (I Hate Everything) making the complaint.


He admitted that perhaps he's made some contribution to the problem


Actually Brisky, the ideal outcome is that the trackies and wheelies must work together against the tyrannical leader, which will get them to a place where they can acknowledge that they each have strengths and weaknesses and that there has been a systematic campaign of anti-twheelism.  But that some social change is beyond the scope fo the film.


Dare I dream of a sequel when i can't even finish a treatment?

I'm all for equality and equal chances, as a tank!

I didn't understand what that last part was about, tho...

[HellEye]

160,303

Ooh it's about a movie.
Now I get the glimpses of conversations I've seen

[Brisky]

160,304

well, it initially started off with a discussion of how to call people with a vehicle as fursona...

I'm still not shure what the conclusion is, but that would be either something like "mechies" or "wheelies/trackies".

[HellEye]

160,305

Mechies sounds pretty good

[Trixsie Vixen]

160306


So many glimpses!


I already forget which term I liked best

[HellEye]

160,307

Are there anthro mechies like transformers?

[Trixsie Vixen]

160308


Gobots?


Or Zoids... I think they're actually mecha though.

[Brisky]

My only fear is:  too easily mistaken with mechies

I think wheelies is much better.

As weird as it sounds, because of the way how tracks work, all tracked vehicles have wheels too, soo nothing is excluded.
