It's thankfully pretty difficult to actually vandalize levels in GD without mod privileges, so this little artifact of fascist spite is probably the closest the community will ever get to having our own sliced-up Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue canvas. The physical level is of course worthless, but there's an undeniable power in the reactionary paranoia, jealousy, rage within. In this way it becomes a testament to the strength of every creator worth anything and a condemnation of GD's still-rotten creating culture. And they say conservatives don't make good art.

You're probably familiar with "im god" by wless, a simple, beautiful level with a unique approach to structuring and song representation. It's also, notably, a level that means a lot to me personally because of the major influence it had on my tastes when it released. Well, akinawoo wasn't a fan. What he saw was a lazy, uninspired level constructed from little more than a few lines and pieces of glow. So, in his infinite brilliance, he decided to create a grey level constructed from little more than a few lines and pieces of glow, without any of the cool stuff, and name it "im god" to mock the perceived laziness of the original. Unfortunately, being a tasteless, petty freak kind of warps your perception, and this level is little more than intensely boring and frustrating--it basically serves as fodder for similarly uncritical people to claim "still better than the original" in the comments and believe claims like "this level isn't even directed at wless" while also stuffing hay into several strawmen of wless. It's basically everything that destroys my faith in considering this game to be a medium for art, because there are so many cynical and spiteful people out there that make levels that seem to despise the idea of art.
