It is such a cool gallery/project, right?! I think the gallery was Froge’s main foray into visual work, although they wrote a visual novel at one point (which, uh, only seems to be optimized for Linux. Fair play, honestly).
And yeah, having a whole eulogy for a persona is a work in its own right. Usually (afaik) people just quietly drop handles, change names, and no one’s the wiser, or if there is an announcement it’s because some drama went down and they are making a point of saying goodbye. (Not that Froge’s writing doesn’t allude to rocky social waters, but the decision was clearly more premeditated….)
Re:hard-to-capture-feeling, yeah. Something something people want things, and sometimes those things are -gasp- not friendly to modern censors and/or “convenience.” But then we get stuck with what Hollywood and CEOs and whoever think people want, and then it’s normalized >8V Bluh!
