Counterpoint: No it doesn't.

[–] robinn_IV@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is literally Epstein's island. That single dot off the coast confirms this.

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Dot isn't a dot, dot is in the wrong place, the shape of the blob is different.

The Nickelodeon foot logo on the other hand, that's 100% Dan Schneider being a creeper.

If you told me whoever came up with the nickelodeon blob logo had a fetish for slime though, I wouldn't question it.

Dot isn't a dot, dot is in the wrong place, the shape of the blob is different.

Bordiga-level pedantry. It's true that the dot is "in the wrong place" when comparing the pictures, but did you know that you can actually view the island from any side? As for the island shape, the four-pointed design is distinct, where of course there will be differences with the slime stylization.

The logo is OBJECTIVELY roughly based on Epstein's island, either due to the designer's trips to the area (purely for snorkeling) or their Paul Atreides-esque dreams of the future of the company. It could also be that mother earth formed the island itself around the logo design in order to signal the issues within both entities, but humanity ignored this warning. And now here you are like a heretic yelling "he cannot be Lisan Al Gaib, as there are small differences between reality and how it was written," confusing prophecy and symbolism for perfect recreation.

Ehhhh I'm not seeing it. Even if you ignore the little island and rotate them around it doesn't really match. It's a blob with four points but that's about where the similarities end. The curves are different, the size of the "points" are different.

Here's the logo rotated and overlapped on an image of the island from google maps:

I'm rotating and scaling it around but I can't make it work.

edit: there's a level of irony going over my head isn't there

Truth in plan sight.

Patriots in the thread know what's going on.

Someone make an animation where the blob rotates and morphs into the island

[–] robinn_IV@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You rotated the blob dishonestly. It’s like someone having two images of a square and rotating one diagonally then overlapping them and saying β€œlook, they don’t line up!”

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm an honest blob rotator I swear obama-sad

[–] HexbearGPT@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Let my blob be clear.

I wanna hear about Dog Island

let's just say that dog island is the exact shape of the cartoon network channel logo. brow πŸ‘οΈγ…€γ…€

[–] Kaplya@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

but did you know that you can actually view the island from any side?

Here comes the β€œI can rotate 3D shapes in my head” vs the β€œI can’t rotate 3D shapes in my head” debate.

the β€œI can rotate 3D shapes in my head” vs the β€œI can’t rotate 3D shapes in my head” debate

it's a pretty wild debate tbh

Plato is spinning in his grave, in my head.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

This is the most powerful comment I've ever read

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

One time I threw a sticky hand at the wall and when it went sploot on the wall it was sploot shaped and it looked JUST LIKE EPSTEIN'S ISLAND

[–] HexbearGPT@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah but i found Jesus on this cracker. Its real.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

My inner puzzle solver is screaming because they could have at least rotated the island picture so it kind of lined up with the Nick blob

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wasn't one of the producers at nickelodeon a pedophile with a foot fetish or some shit?

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

I always think of Dana Sneider when reading about him and Master Shake doesn't deserve that association

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

Schneider has never actually been accused of sexually abusing children (although at least two crew members on his shows were), but his shows were full of borderline sexual innuendo involving child actors so it seems very likely, and approximately nobody will be surprised if allegations do eventually come to light

[–] IMF_DOOM@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fucked up that titles have to be 3 characters long now smh

I don't fuckin know--- the same guy made the logo a goddamn foot. And he constantly made all this abuse completely public as part of the thrill. Was he on the flight logs?

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think Dan Schneider designed any Nickelodeon logos, he was a writer and showrunner not a graphic designer.

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But there's no way he didn't tell someone to do that

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He was a writer and a showrunner, not a network executive.

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean if he had enough influence to actually assault all the kids he could influence the temporary corner logo is all I'm saying

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No I don't. Those are very different spheres of people to influence. The clout needed to get away with sdx crimes is significantly lower than that required to make network exec level decisions related to promotion and advertising which was not his job. You can be powerful in a company but still not be involved in every decision. It's senseless conspiratorial thinking. This stuff wasn't his job.

Fuck it, I'm tired and my psychic defenses are down. I'm going down the psychosis rabbit hole - I see it, I believe.

I too love how insane i am becoming.

Is that normal?
