the loneliness epidemic is actually a weirdness epidemic. just stop being weird

Want to add an addendum that there's nothing unambiguous about how toxic this relationship is and that Denji's just latching onto someone that likes him (which Yoru does, in her own way). It's just more complicated than being another Makima situation now that everyone's a trainwreck.

The only real difference between our far right and actual fascists is the current ones are too nihilistic to believe in nationalism or any collectivist project. Embracing being a sadist without justification isn't any less genocidal.

So I'm gonna say something that'll easily be misconstrued, but those scenes between Denji and Yoru aren't framed as sexual assault within the story. Don't want to call him out, but boys being abused by girls is still played off as a joke and Fujimoto might have that as a blind spot too.

Had a weird moment seeing the trailer for Blowback season 6 and thinking "look at all the returning characters" when Castro and Kissinger are on screen.

you have to be so stupid to think roko's basilisk is even interesting and probably insane to think it's scary. why would a super advanced computer intelligence care about that kind of petty shit.. are you sure you're not just imagining the computer is you??

ok so what gets called "gender ideology" is jsut like "be who and how you want" and what gets called "not ideology" is like "follow these specific unwritten rules and perform these forbidden rituals according to the circumstances of your birth"

I've been trying to do more self criticism like all good Marxists should. The way we've been stuck with 2020 if not 2017 brainrot's made me concerned that a severe lack of introspection or levelheadedness is going to lead to even more political losses, which is life or death.

The thing with the microplastics, endocrine disruptors, and processed food is that health should be a big thing on the left, but these issues were ceded to the manosphere and RJK Jr. type right wingers over cultural semiotics. It sounds goofy, but maybe it's bad that pollution messes with jizz.

Flashbacks to the stats in BG3 Early Access where almost every single player pursued at least one romance. People may not ADMIT to wanting sex and romance in games, but their behavior says otherwise, basically every time.

I appreciate Samurai Champloo's anti-European racism.

Gonna get real, the fact that a number of the Zizians were otherkin isn't insubstantial to how insane that situation got. There's a real issue with shut-ins getting into hyper-individualized spaces and politics that create a feedback loop into further isolation. Just touch grass, I guess.

Casshern Sins was what I wanted of the NieR: Automata anime. Telling a life affirming humanist story means you have to make the audience kinda sad for most of it and dreary atmospheres can be beautiful.

this person said it so good so here it is

Zizek made an observation on how much of our reactionary moment is defined by shamelessness in regard to antisocial behavior, which is even worse being hypocritical because there are no contradictions to be worked through. It's wanton destruction of the social contract.

My friend went to see her neurologist and this was hanging up in their office

I just got done with Eureka Seven a couple days ago, but I'm pretty sure I tried it out back when I was getting into anime. I definitely saw the first couple episodes even if I can't place the year. Funnily enough, I know I would've gotten more out of it back then if I stuck with it the first time.

my most conservative coded belief is that small dogs (with the exception of working dogs like jack russells etc) are dumb and annoying and you should grow up and get a real dog. I accept that this is a villainous position to take, but I can only be honest here

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--[wheezing, dead]

Rooting for the pharmaceutical lobby right now.

this gets funnier every year

no the fuck we are NOT making “LGBQ+” a thing and if I see any of you motherfuckers using that acronym it’s on sight Marsha P. Johnson did not smash in the windshield of a police car for this

U.S. forces land on Greenland's coast, spearheaded by units of Cybertanks. they make it three quarters of a mile before the cold weather drains their batteries. crews find themselves trapped inside when the fully electronic doors default to locked. most of the 70th Armored regiment starves to death

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references. It's brutal. And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

It's like in Inglorious Basterds where Aldo carves a swastika into Hans Landa's head to mark him as a nazi.

Probably won't happen, but we might see them finally acknowledge Song of the South for the dumbest reason possible.

Since Chainsaw Man part 2 is probably on it's last arc or two, it's safe to say it got kind of unbalanced. Asa being the new protagonist was the best creative choice ever, but now she's gotten sidelined and a lot of time that could've been given to Denji and Nayuta was sacrificed.
