The internet, and society, struggles with the need for a perfect victim. Which is another reason I find Fujimoto's popularity so odd. In Chainsaw Man, Fire Punch or one shots. Trauma isn't the catalyst for characters bettering themselves, yet so often it is treated as just that in other stories.

Something I’ve been working on

"Nazis were just regular people" is not a statement meant to evoke empathy or to excuse their crimes. It is a statement of warning. The capacity to be part of and perpetrate atrocities is not limited to "monsters," it is wholly human. It is what we must always be aware of.

Anime fans go around in circles on topics like is Frieren racist, is AoT fascist. And while there are interesting points to make, no one ever points out what if their politics is incoherent and they lack the skill to express it. Cause that is true for 99% of the population.

Now is a great time to get into books. Try The Plague by Albert Camus.

Seeing purchasing power as neutral can justify anything from supporting gen AI games to calling BDS pointless. We do in fact make a statement with when we buy something even if it is just this practice is acceptable.

A lot of people don't want to grapple with how they use consumerism as a comfort. Like this whole $20 Pokemon FRLG stuff, it's not cause emulation is so hard or they're actually reasonably priced. Spending is an activity, suggesting it isn't a neutral act and has effects on the industry spoils it.

Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen for $20 on the eShop? Oh, that's ok...I have my own setup already

dude they're nerfing your boss fight based on social media reactions. yeah your otherwise unique and challenging encounter is now pretty trivial and you have super exploitable weaknesses now just because genre newcomers didn't understand your fairly straightforward patterns

Colorblind caveman when the tribe tells him about nature:

Thing is it really wouldn't matter if Green/Labour were on 49%, the other side was always going to argue well it still could go either way. But really it looks set to be a test of will Labour lend their vote, which I believe voters will. But party and online voice need to become more welcoming too.

Pokemon fans will be all how dare you say we have no standards, then buy $20 GBA roms while calling emulation evil

I have gotten completely sick of the current video game story trope of having older protagonists come back and completely overshadow new characters. So I have put together a short feature that I hope isn't *just* a rant. Please read! raiderking.com/why-cant-vid...

You could argue Polanski takes easy shots, but why does everyone else keep setting them up for him? Those with should help those without should be the baseline for any politician.

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

I've never really considered how Denji and Yoru perhaps have more in common than either with Asa. The implications of which sure could go a lot of directions. Especially when it comes to Asa's autonomy and Yoru as a stand in for her mother.

"Is Merzbow haram" could possibly be the most Birmingham question ever asked

I think my favourite scene from Romeo Is A Dead Man is at the end when Romeo is alone for the first time. He finally starts to question, but isn't really able to see outside his own framework. I'm seeing interpretations Romeo breaks free of the cycle at the end, but is it really on his own grounds?

good news fellas: the entire original "Jumping Onto White Base" fits into the max video length on here, enjoy it in its original 240p video quality.

Do find it worrisome how many people can't deal with sexual themes in CSM part 2. Denji has only ever seen sex as transactional, he is beginning to use it more as a manipulation tool and think of others needs less than his desire for them. Perhaps it is touching too close to home for some.

#csm229 Think Part 2's (prob not soon) climax will be on if Asa chooses to live selfishly, and what that means. The story has been full of people choosing to live at the expense of others. Not always condemning what is an inevitability, though being aware how it can cross a line into needless pain.

Why won't the left use AI always circles back to validation Take job losses. The left proposes the same solutions as always like UBI. Also pointing out how bosses would accept a lower quality replacement to workers if it saved money But this doesn't count cause it doesn't help inflate stock prices

Remember, you can lock onto your opponents by pressing the R1 button. Try locking onto this post now. Ok. Well done. That's all I can teach you. I hear there are other posters that can teach you more advanced techniques out there, but you'll have to find them yourself. Good luck!

I hate that "We're not changing anything about our game for overseas audiences" is something that conservative audiences try to frame as a win or "owning the libs" re: gamers when a lot of it boils down to overseas devs seeing that what they were doing before the racism of the 00's is fine again.

Always awkward when an old Japanese VA dies, but the west doesn't watch old anime so content farms post "RIP to the VA of BumFiddly from One Piece filler island!" Gotta pay the bills and respect.

Romeo is a Dead Man's boss themes are oddly hypnotically sad. Phantasm goes harder, killing racists is cool. But the rest, it doesn't feel like a celebration. You're disposing of someone who is all used up, not a good person but also exploited. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8oK...
