SSSS video essay
« on: November 05, 2024, 02:46:17 AM »
I want to try to make an in-depth analysis video essay about the fate of SSSS covering Minna's conversion and all other controversies. I am looking for proper sources, so if you have any comments or VODs with her comments saved I'd really appreciate if you could share that with me. Thanks in advance!

if you have any comments or VODs with her comments saved

Uhhh ... I've never been following her to any of her social media accounts, and didn't save any of the streaming videos she made (never watched most of them in the first place) ... she had a YouTube account, so chances are that you can still find the videos there. What I did do is the following: Back in the day, it was possible to clickclickclickclick through Disqus until you had a huge web page with all the comments ever made from a specific account. (Nowadays my browser seems to refuse displaying any Disqus content at all ... and note that that doesn't get you whatever comments she was replying to.) I've occasionally done that and saved the page as plaintext-only, so as to have a corpus in which to search keywords and learn the comic's pages where I'd need to go to find that comment again. The latest version I have on disk seems to be from 01-Jan-2021 ...

As far as her conversion is concerned, the main source of in-depth information would be her new website (hummingfluff.com), as she IIUC cut herself from social media at the same time (and understandably wasn't very forthcoming with details on the old sites after the first feedback she got there).

Disqus has been down for me too.
The other day I found a Google Drive file in my history that someone had compiled & shared once.  It was 400-some-odd pages, and just Minna's comments.  I read through about 7, but those were from 2018.  It was actually kind of nice to remember the way those streams went, with innocuous discussions of food likes and dislikes, pet stories, bits of lore. 
She definitely had a plan back then to portray the story of Emil's family's catastrophe, and said she wasn't coming up to that anytime soon, so we'd just have to be patient.  *sigh*
Sol, I don't rember where I got permission for that, but I think it was a pinned post in the Discord server?
