@Nathan07516751@sangivstheworld@VK_HM It’s not a reoccurring series in people’s lists, but they’ll all slip in 1 or 2 lowerbrow series that hold personal connection to them while rejecting the rest of the bunch they didn’t watch as kids. To give one example I see this a lot with mha.
@sangivstheworld@VK_HM There isnt really a space for the kind of anime watcher that finds the vast majority of it unwatchable/mid in those circles. Even a lot of the so called anime elitists hold some of the slop in high regard almost as a way to signal they actually do enjoy the medium overall
@EcoTechBro@chowitzer Same with [insert self-proclaimed non-imperial isolationist socialist state] would’ve flourished if not for international interference. It’s kind of the natural outcome of publicly stating you won’t exercise military might unless it’s for the sake of the state’s sovereignty
@FAIRYM00NSTAR@Pisceanluvher I’m not necessarily opposed to the abolition of the police system as we know it as long as there’s something concrete to replace it with instead of holding onto the idea that every single person will just unanimously agree to stop committing crime and live happily forever
@MistaDoubleDicc We’re one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world and there’s a continuous cultural exchange between the groups that live here, hence the term melting pot.
@Pisceanluvher Keyword is often. And no, not every rapist, murder, or domestic abuser suffers from an untreated mental illness so back to the question, what will be done about those who commit crime that can’t be solved via preventative measures of meeting their needs?
Do you just let the serial rapist off the hook on the grounds of “eh most crime is already solved nothing to be done about this one”. Not even factoring in that the US is a melting pot now and isn’t one big tribe anymore. What will be done abt hate crime? Racial discrimination?
@Pisceanluvher The indigenous population wasn’t 330 million ppl. And yes some people do need an overseer to be kept in line that’s kinda the whole point. Even if you phase out most crime, there will literally always be “that guy” especially if they don’t have to fear legal repercussions
@Rup4kC Replace him with any half competent lb and building up from the back is one of the smallest worries this squad has going into the season. With Gordon it’s not gonna be a necessity to have a lb that can hold down the entire left side solo.
@Anti_P0litical@redrummarts Literally where I can’t remember a single instance of foreshadowing. And there being no hints of Reiner’s split personality until after the warrior reveal doesn’t make it an asspull unless you think isayama decided to flip them into the Warrior trio in the middle of writing them
He was written contradictory because bc he’s a foreign spy on a mission and you’re not supposed to have any idea in the same way you’re not yet supposed to know abt his personality disorder because it ties into him being an honorary marleyan, it’s all very obviously calculated
@redrummarts His personality disorder where he pretends to be great friends with everyone and wills himself into believing he’s actually the Reiner they all know him as when he’s actually a warrior and has deep-seated hatred for eldians and flip-flops between both identities.
@redrummarts@Anti_P0litical Maybe it wasn’t clear to you the viewer because the Marley trio’s true intentions were intentionally hidden without foreshadowing so we’d be as caught off guard as Eren was when Reiner revealed their identities. “Other ppl are the enemy all along” was always the intention-
