I believe in the right of artistic expression. My goal? To share informative opinions, theories, and advocate for freedom of consumption in regards to fiction.
Anime isn't inherently left wing or right wing or centrist or capitalist or communist or whatever. It's a medium with a large amount of artists many of whom have different views.
In fiction evil is often written to have depth and complexity while good is written to be simple and boring. But in real life evil is boring and predictable while good is complex and unique every single time.
Proshippers are so loud lately it drowns most dumb takes that I see. I'm so glad please exist more
Tell me your favorite problematic media either via QRT or reply
"Can we stop pretending _____ was ever good?"
"Its ok to like ______ even though it's bad."
"I'm not SAYING _____ is bad, I'm saying it has everything in common with bad things."
SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUP YOU ARE ANNOYING
NGL, some, if not, most of y'all care WAY too much about people who don't like sexy designs.
Bro, I DO NOT care if you think Shiki or Hikage are "overtly sexualized" or are "appealing to the male gaze."
Their outfits slap and I will NOT hear otherwise.
“proshippers when someone calls their incest ships weird and disgusting” i don’t think we deny that our ships are weird and disgusting like it’s kinda the point. yesss its gross yesss its freaky Yes Yaayy Yayyy being weird and gross with fiction is fun
Until fairly recently in my life I didn't care much for Loli content.
One of the event that pushed me to be more vocal about loli being an inherent part of VTubing worth celebrating and defending is what happened to Riri.
Just because she enjoyed loli content, a group of french troll have decided to spread childporn of her in a malicious manner.
[...]
I understand Riri has been fairly divisive in the past. Controversial even.
But I do not see any scenario which would justify childporn of yourself being sent to other people.
We can talk at length and moralize about how foolish it is for a minor to take and send nudes of themselves. But I'm sure Riri is more than aware of it now. That part of the story is best use to warn current and future parents.
[...]
But the important part to make my point here. Is that all in the name of "owning le pdf lolicon".
You have a bunch of people who own child pornographic material and are sending it to other people. Which is, actual pedophilia and an actual fucking crime.
What kind of mental retardation, such an insulting lack of self awareness does it take for a litteral neanderthal to send actual child porn to someone and calling THEM a pedophile over A FUCKING ANIME DRAWING. BRO YOU ARE THE PEDOPHILE WHY DO YOU HAVE CHILD PORN !

Unfortunately I'm not surprised. I really love being French, I seriously do. We have the richest history and culture in the entire world.
But the worst part of France, are French people. And as a collective we have a serious problem with pedophilia.
It's far too common to see a 20+yo picking up his/her underage "BF/GF" from highschool, which doesn't seem abnormal to most.
The biggest celebration of pedophilia, the movie "cuties" was filmed here.
In the 70s two of our biggest and still running newspapers (Le monde and liberation) ran an open letter defending pedophilia as a normal sexuality.
This letter was co-signed by philosopher Sartre and feminist Simone de Beauvoir. Beauvoir in fact fucked her students while Sartre would watch like the good little pedophilic cuck he was.
Even our president is married to her highschool teacher.
Not to mention all the politician being caught or currently listed in the Epstein files.
[...]
As a summary.
1) Events like what happened to Riri are just so revolting, one man can only watch so many evils happen without speaking up for so long.
2) Riri, wether you like her or not. Deserve support and the people doing this to her deserve condemnation. For the sake of moral integrity alone.
3) Most anti are deeply unserious people, not to be trusted, as they will engage in pedophilia to "own the loli's". So many anti turn out to be pedophile that at this point most anti are purely projecting.
4) The average French person is the last one you should listen to on "what is considered pedophilia or not".
If anything what happened to Riri just reinforces my desire to leave this place. While this is the land of my beloved ancestors, I don't see myself raising a family here, or even marrying. How could I ever call people who are doing all these abhorrent things to Riri "kinsfolk".
I can't, I have a conscience. All I see is a woman who used to be a stupid teenager being punished to an absurd degree for being a stupid teenager.
And the fact all of this is being justified by "she likes this type of anime drawings"
Something in my soul just doesn't allow me to tolerate any of this.
This is such a childish way of looking at things.
- “Oh look the other side did it to us first therefore it’s only right that we do it back to them in full force.”
STFU dude this doesn’t solve anything and is only going to encourage more retaliation.
I really dislike this mentality some have toward fiction like it's something you're supposed to "grow up" from once you're past a certain age.
I reject that premise entirely. You're never too old for escapism or well-written stories that have something to say about humanity.
i think horror should be able to portray the most heinous shit known to mankind, it should be able to challenge people's morality. unfortunately, the average twitter user nowadays wanna sanitize horror and can't stomach anything beyond the usual gore and jumpscares
in a world where the best art has been put together by people who are often perverts / freaks shaped a lot by trauma, pain, and unflinchingly uncomfortable feelings and desires, it’s basically impossible to enjoy anything if you have to align the art to a rigorous moral code
