>>10617119David Foster Wallace once wrote a piece about David Lynch. In the piece, he coined a new term: "Lynchian". Wallace described a Lynchian tone as "the unbelievably grotesque existing in a kind of union with the unbelievably banal."
He described a husband beating his 1950s housewife to death because she bought the wrong brand of peanut butter. "I told you to buy the JIF," he'd say as he's clobbering her to death. This, he said, would qualify as almost perfectly Lynchian.
I think Mumei's drawing streams enter into Lynchian territory. OP's picture shows a simple drawing stream. The girl looks like the average adorable vtuber. She's celebrating her memberships. One imagines she might be drawing cute emojis when we click on the thumbnail. But it slowly dawns on us that in the stream, with a listless expression on her face, she's drawing Yagoo's genitals.
Despite the obvious subtext and Omega's hope to normalize this horror, the average person is totally disgusted. Nevertheless, the viewer is fascinated. We're drawn further into this. The sheer naked horror of what she's drawing, the blasé quality with which she's drawing it, it creates this brutal paradox that almost rapes the viewer's basic sense of what is decent.
