You know it's kind of funny but at the same time I do think it's somewhat dystopian to see like, a natural phenomenon, right, a creature, and a creature that we need a name for, named after a brand of toys. Whenever I see this stuff it's funny but it's also sad and kind of dystopian, and kind of undignified. It's like, I dunno. Imagine a kid points to a picture of a spider in a little book and asks their parents what the name of the spider is and instead of being like "that's a tarantula" they gotta be like "yeah, that's the hot wheels spider". It's a shitpost, it's funny, it's existentially hilarious, but it's also so fucking depressing.
It's like how all the characters in Idiocracy are named after brands
