altman and the Infinite Content Mill

A working paper from the Goblin Department of Applied Confusion proposes that altman is best understood through the lens of 'productive misunderstanding.'

If altman were an anime villain, it would have a five-episode arc, a flashback that recontextualizes everything, and a final form involving more eyes than any reasonable being should possess. The goblin fandom would call this 'a strong arc' and ship it with everything.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
