two reasons for why I've seen this is the case 1) is that the current state of the world is shit and shoujo started reflecting more escapist fantasies accordingly 2) it seems like the content in shoujo faced more scrutiny around the mid 00s due to its more explicit nature and there were imposed laws

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

After a US-Israeli strike on a girls’ elementary school in Minab, Iran, rescuers dug through the rubble for survivors. The death toll is still rising, with more than 80 confirmed dead so far.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Happy #pokemonday! I'm so excited to share my nostalgic 90's computer room set up that I did for La Maison. The specs were to use at least 3 #pokemon products. I . . . did not limit myself. Pokemon used are in the alt text, can you spot them all? #wanderingkotkaart #kotkazines #pokemon #artsky

Every billionaire in the Epstein files could drop dead tomorrow and the world would not only be fine, it would actually improve. The quality of our media would improve. Our environment. Our food. Our health care. Our technology.

This SuperS puzzle artwork is gorgeous (pun not intended) #SailorMoon

I absolutely love this poster design. The (colored pencil?) sketch on one side, the transformation sequence film strip on the other is such a cool concept. I wonder if they did posters like this for the other Senshi? #SailorMoon

Interesting to see プリティーソルジャー used instead of 美少女戦士 (but I suppose it's being used more as a tagline than as part of a title) #SailorMoon

Matentines celebrations have started with a bang on Succubuns.com! This year, for the first time ever, the rare and angelic cherubuns can get in on the fun, producing special offspring of a brand new subspecies. Repost and check the news to learn more! succubuns.com/news/276.som...

i've been saying for years that pinterest as a home for "inspo" has always been bad. it's full of people reposting artists' work without permission. it's a site that runs on art theft. with their push to use ai i am begging people to STOP uploading other people's art there!!!

Stumbled upon this hack a million years ago, so wanted to doodle it up and share! #arttip #arthack

Maybe it’s the 2000s kid in me but god Spider-Man 2 really was that damn good huh

Fresh fresh potsss (should be online tomorrow or day after)

The website for the upcoming Sailor Moon musical, "Shining Theater Shinagawa Tokyo," has just launched with a reveal of the two casts: Team Gold Moon and Team Silver Moon! The show will be an original story involving a new foe named Queen Valsia. #SailorMoon prettyguardiansailormoon-stst.com/en/

A crime that nobody will let anybody officially localize this show. Frankly, it's the best adaptation of Sailor Moon (fight me).

In light of recent developments and, as a proud Baytriot, I feel compelled to tap the sign again. Cinema needs more people like Michael Bay, and fewer people like Darren Aronofsky.

They were crazy for this. (I'm sure they did ones for Ami and Usagi too, but I've yet to come across them.) #SailorMoon

#girlgenius #webcomics We have climbed back atop the Kickstarter horse (www.kickstarter.com/projects/gir...) and we're doing not 1 new book, but 2! And it funded in less than twelve hours, so there's no risk! Such a deal! Of course NOW we have to fiddle with stretch goals– but we have a few in mind…

Love the cover art for the audio dramas. Wish they'd use them for merch instead of just endlessly recycling the same stiff stock art.

So for people who think "demographics don't matter" check your inherent biases. Are you saying that shoujo is good with a qualifier? Are the manga you're reading an equal amount of ALL demos? Do you actually seek out new shoujo to keep up with? Or has it been easier to hand wave the issue away?

That is why I don't care about the statistics that girls read WSJ as much as boys because boys do NOT read Hana to Yume just as much as girls. This is a one way street rather than an equal exchange and getting rid of the manga that's looked down on doesn't make it equal. It tips the scale further.

since removing the demographic categories 3 years ago, the Shogakukan Manga Awards has only awarded ONE shoujosei manga in that time removing the demographic categories has (and will) only serve to accelerate the erasure of media specifically made by and for women
