The best/funniest way they could respond to the backlash is to just replace crisp rat's voice lines entirely with Charles Martinet making his standard Mario gibberish noises and change nothing else.
Just play it completely straight, leave all the other dialogue exactly as-is
Peach: And so, brave heroes from beyond, I implore you to save our kingdom. You are the only ones who can.
Luigi: What? No... no, that's crazy, we're not heroes, we're plumbers! Tell her, Mario!
Mario: HEEPITTYBIPPITYBOPPITYBUNO
Luigi: You.. You don't really mean that, do you? You can't, not after everything that's happened!
Mario: WAHOO MAMMA MIA
*Mario straightens his hat and grits his teeth as the camera zooms in on his face*
Mario:
Mario: YIPPEE
not me realizing that people are…defending alex jones? for “calling out” ye west? you know that he didn’t “call out” ye for being antisemitic, right. he did it because ye was being Too Obviously Antisemitic. ye killed his plausible deniability.
alex jones has made his living for over a decade on walking RIGHT up to that line and not overtly crossing it. he goes off about a “globalist conspiracy” every time he’s on air. he talks about the “jewish mafia.” ye just walked right over the line and said “Hitler was a good guy actually.” alex jones isn’t horrified at what ye said. it’s that ye said it OUT LOUD, ON AIR, WHILE STREAMING.
i refuse to live in an era of rehabilitation of alex fucking jones. jesus christ you guys.

That's a fancy way of saying you can download a backup of your blog so if everything goes down you'll still have a backup of your posts & convos.
REFUSE the vile temptation of transgressive speech like “kys”.... EMBRACE responsibility and adopt the go-getter mantra: I'M going to kill YOU.
Just so we're all on the same page with the writer's strike.
If during the strike, it's announced about AI generated shows. We are not watching them. Not even out of curiosity. Let them fail every AI generated show they try make.
The human voice can not be replaced by AI. Don't let them try.
