It sucks when big YouTubers talks about #Tokusatsu, but gets bombarded with pedantic nonsense. That's the real reason this fandom will never grow.

The funny thing about the Rangers vs Sentai debates on TokuTwitter is that people will swear up and down what is the best anniversaries the same way regular people talk powerscaling. They show no context clips or images of cool toku stuff but no threads about theories or themes or characters. WTF?

Secret Six (2025) is out. Loving Jon's characterization in this. Really love the interpersonal drama with superheroes. Don't enough of that anymore. Glad we're getting it here. I like Jay's costume. Way better than his first costume. Overall pretty good and pretty mess. Very hot tea. 🍵

🧵 Hasbro really making it hard to be an MMPR defender, I swear. Only question I have for this is how? How the heck are they going do this? Like logistically how are you gonna upscale something that already look stiched together.

I'm fully convinced that bakudeku fans really had a crush on their childhood bully. Like the trauma became their awakening at some point and they never went to therapy to sort those feelings out. #MHA #Anime

Whenever legacy characters in comics come up in conversation, someone bring up how there are dozens of Kamen Riders and they're all Kamen Rider. But will the toku fanbase will stick to that principle if suddenly they decided to cast a black guy?

This might not come into fruition until years from now, but I'm glad that DC is finally planting the seeds of Damian eventually leaving the Robin role.

Should've betted on the eagles.

Finally started listening to #EPICTheMusical. I love that the gods are even more cracked than humanity itself. Definitely gonna read the Odyssey after this. But I don’t think I’m gonna be able to listen to the Underworld Saga without immediately tearing up for a long time. I miss my mom so much.

Love the parallels in this. #chainsawman

Well it didn’t take that long for the sonic fandom to get toxic again. What is, like two months? That’s gotta be a record.

After the Krakoa Saga, Cyclops is can do the most diabolical stuff to humans, and it would be totally justified in my eyes. I wouldn’t even care if he decided to become a villain again.

My dog stole my block of cheese and ate it. Wrapper licked and all. I’m both furious at him and dreading the next dog walk. But overall, I’m sad that my crackers will go without any melted cheese. 😭😭😭

Chopped hotdogs with mac and cheese is the worst food combinations in history, and it really painted a picture of how trash our school board was that they willingly served us that abomination every week at school. 🤢🤢🤢🤮

Notice that Yoshida didn’t answer when Denji asked about Nayuta. I know it’s hard cope but I’m not out yet. #ChainsawMan

I always wanted to do fandom studies through the lens of Power Rangers. Like analyzing international media consumption, attitudes towards Americanization of eastern cultures, the black and white mentalities of fans, the correlations to PR and autism, etc. But I wouldn't even know where to begin.

The older I get, the more I realized that we, as a society, never really hated Twilight. We just hated teenage girls. In a way, I kinda get it. I was 13 once. I wonder if that's why millennial men got red-pilled. Was it middle school trauma? I bet it was middle school trauma.

Ok. Just found out that their doing a Secret Six book with Jon, Jay, and Dreamer in March. Might drink some tea for every issue release for absolutely no reason.

Controversial take. Jon Kent should be with Dreamer. This one panel shows more than the entirety of his and Jay's relationship. I'm getting tired of situationships.

No Child Left Behind really cooked this country.

Ok, but the pillow talks gotta be insane, right? I can just hear Maddie whispering sweet nothings to Caitlyn's ear in the most THICKEST Scottish accent ever heard. Like here's Caitlyn pondering over her morals and whatnot. Meanwhile, Maddie's giving out her best hardcore Scottish ASMR. #Arcane

If you write a character that's a Mary Sue, and that character is aware that they're a "Mary Sue", then they're not a "Mary Sue". They're just Rick Sanchez.

No context moment in #Dandadan

Of all the talks of what fans would do if they had #PowerRangers, why has no one thought of giving the franchise to the public domain. Think about it. Pride and Prejudice w/Power Rangers. The Great Gatsby w/Power Rangers. War & Peace. 3 Musketeers. The possiblities would be insane, but creative.

I love that in the end Ochako grew up to be a superhero version of a social worker. In the final volume, she's working with other kids, working with a variety of orgs and heroes to conduct regular check-ins for kids to make sure they're having stable home environment. A great career for her. #MHA

Made a tierlist on the most of the #Dandadan ships a while back. Shared it on discord. They thought it was buns, but I thought it was funny.

Just found out that a former showrunner of Power Rangers follows me. Dang. Now I have to be more active here. So I guess I'll try doing that. To all my new followers, Hi! Hope you guys enjoy my yapping!

Can a fandom truly gatekeep without being toxic or do they go like peanut butter and chocolate?

The Toku fandom is so cooked. It used to be so fun to call myself a Power Rangers fan.

Hello, my name is Deonta. I like reading manga, anime, comic books, and short stories. I'm autistic, probably have ADHD; need to get it checked. I'm also a firm believer that public transit could be the pinacle of human innovation if people stop thinking it's just for the poor. Nice to meet you.
