A great big benevolent cartoon character who lives next door to Astro Boy

Nouveau Astro

Don’t discuss Sony like it’s a great big benevolent cartoon character who lives next door to Astro Boy. Like any company. Sony is comprised of individuals who are fearful for their jobs on a daily basis, and who make lame decisions based pretty much on fear and conforming to social norms- but then, that’s every corporation on earth, so don’t single out one specific corporation as lovable and cute. There all evil and greedy. They’re all in sort of in the moral middle ground. Where good and bad cancel each other out, so there nothing really there- which is, I its own way far darker than any paranoid or patriarchal theory of Sony.
