Pro Tip: Instead of looking for an anime with a "90s aesthetic", just watch a 90s anime. HUGE time saver.

I have no problem with someone being Jewish. I have a lot of problems with someone being a genocide supporter. The two are not mutually exclusive. I don’t see a Jewish person and automatically think ‘genocide supporter’ because THAT would be antisemitic.

Late night thought, but anyone else think it's a little weird showing the really graphic Divinity trailer live on stream like a week after Horses got banned from a bunch of stores?

Fascism is very literally banning anything queer or queer adjacent, with extra focus on non-white queerness, and we've still got fucking twerps going around clutching pearls over cartoons as if that shit DOESN'T DIRECTLY FEED INTO THE FASCIST OPPRESSION OF ACTUAL, REAL, LIVING PEOPLE.

With alt text

One thing I can't emphasize enough: experiencing a feeling, even negative or ugly ones that you wish you didn't feel, doesn't define you as a person. Feelings and emotions are inherently neutral; it's what you do with them and about them that makes all the difference.

If you don't like when the MC is handed great power without earning it, that just means you don't like power fantasy. Which is valid. Preferences are valid, but they're still just preferences. Don't watch what you don't like. Simple.

Equating something you don't personally like as "not a real [X]" has had disastrous effects on not only discourse but also the way creators MAKE the media we consume. Normalize saying "this isn't for me" and focus your energy on something you actually like instead

anime wasn’t better in the past; it was more expensive to localize so it was more likely that subpar anime stayed in japan

Child characters should only be voiced by women and Yuki Kaji.

What do you guys have against English titles? Isn't "Pretty Derby" easier to remember than "umasumsmesememese"?

STOP USING GOOGLE

I refuse to let people memory-hole how deranged and indefensible the immediate post-9/11 era was. We empowered rape gangs and got involved in the poppy trade in Afghanistan. We looted Iraq, purged it of its professional class, and claimed that the oil would pay for it.

and now my sister is dying and I don’t even have a single shoulder to cry on or a safety to grieve without destabilizing my survival needs in a already dangerously precarious situation,

It's the equivalent of me telling everyone to wear shoes because I have a thing for feet. Which I don't do because I'm a grown them who can just not pay attention when needed

idk, maybe y'all need to think seriously about the exclusivity you're encouraging if you are complaining about alt text and by implication, those of us who need it. Does that mean people like me, who struggle seeing images, don't matter? if so, your opinion is steeped in ableism. fuckin terrible.

I don't give a shit about a guy drawing loli porn, I am more concerned about the fact the rich can buy 16 year olds?

That artist drawing the shit you find morally reprehensible? That artist whose body of work makes you physically ill to look at? *THEY* are the ones who are making sure *YOU* still have the ability to produce the nice, wholesome, Unproblematic art you think the fascists would never come for.

please keep calling your representatives and demanding they oppose censorship/surveillance/Age-verification legislation. please continue to call Paypros and demand they stop discriminating against adult content, its creators, and sex workers please

I HATE EVERYTHING SOCIETY HAS BECOME. IM GONNA GO LIVE IN A CAVE AND PAINT FURRY COCK ON THE WALLS WITH SOOT AND BLOOD

no idea

hell even if you ARE a trans minor you're at constant risk for being accused of being a danger to your peers. I had friends in grade school who said they had to keep me a "secret" from their parents, it made me feel like such a horrible person

You know you're officially old when legacy media pivots from "you damn kids" to "actually you're great, it's those NEW kids who're bad"

It’s that time of year again! 🎅🏼🥵

Copyright used to be for ensuring creators got royalties. Now it just lets corporations own things they didn't make.

SO... I'm pretty much done with Fortnite. There were statements made by Tim Sweeney saying that AI usage doesn't need to be disclosed, and then AI usage was found all over this current season- from art to sprays to in-game songs. Between that, and the upcoming shitty wizard collab... Yeah, I'm done.

A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.

crazy all the websites and paypros are doing their big No Horny Allowed crackdown while every online advertisement now is iether "AI SEX HOT AI CHAT NO FILTER BOOB AI FURRY GIRLFRIEND only for adults ages 6+" or "NPR is now teaming up with Bumfights dot com to revolutionize gamified asset trading"

If you let MasterCard and Visa serve as curators of content, it inevitably comes for more and more forms of adult material. If you can’t identify this as a matter of principle, this conversation may not be one you have the maturity to handle

"the media loves to draw pictures of a white man waterskiing with a happy family after he kills a bunch of people" The other side of this coin: the media loves to talk about what was a school shooter's favorite videogames and music after they release a manifesto about killing people of color.

Sex workers have been saying this would happen for literally YEARS. We've been yelling it as loud as we could. What would the world look like if we were actually listened to?

HIDIVE will screen the N. American premiere of Chained Soldier Season 2 at Anime Frontier next week!

Jfc Google when are you going to wake up to that people don't want your Gemini generated llm slop? Maybe it's time for Sundar to step down.

🎤❗️／あの子の知らない顔 ⚠️血

being someone who actually wants freedom of expression in art is so fucked because you think someone's on your side and then they say that something that's just too tasteless should be banned

gore can be a way to show love. looking through someone's entrails is getting as deep as you can inside them

A community notes function would also be good for adding alt text.

Why is it socially acceptable to gaslight children?

as an aspiring social progressive you will either learn to live with the ethical pervert or go full shitler later in life

I believe I've found a trans woman in My Awkward Senpai. If so, that's awesome. (I can't use a spoiler filter here, so I'll post images in a reply.)

I miss community notes.

Utah Bans Eye Contact During Sex

Okay, lets break down this image! Background; I have a masters in architecture, and I have worked for a firm that specialized in custom built, detached family homes, which is what this is obviously supposed to be. I also worked for a firm drafting custom high end kitchens. So lets analyze this...

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children. Committee hearings begin tomorrow.

Hey, dubbers? Stop translating every "jiiin" as "stare." It just sounds weird.

In "things that might actually destroy the industry", last week's AI subs & dubs farce opens up a possibility that anything that isn't an highly anticipated adaptation or has a number in front would get something "cost conscious" that makes it *literally* unwatchable if you don't know the language.

I just want my uncensored titty OVA episodes back

We as a society need to move on from viewing the 80's OVA boom as this glistening magical world of "muh aesthetic" and realize 80% of it was actual slop that companies were peddling because the format was cheap and easy to use for a period of time.
