I agree. For some reason only anime gets a pass for this. Any other form of media there's outrage even drawn media like comics but for some reason is anime supposed to be different.

I love anime but we have to stop pretending like sexualising kids is normal or quirky. Its nasty

[oneayaitch | #1 ASGORE HATER | 🌧️ pilled @saiiteru]

the whole lolicon discourse basically just boils down to this:

yes they're just drawings and no actual children are being harmed but the fact that shit that's obviously styled to look like a child is what gets u goin and you aggressively try to paint it as normal is weird asf

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

@zylavale All according to my plan...

He didn't make no damn cake, he made cream with a side of cake. Let a MF chef give me a clump of cream dusted witch cake crumbs and I promise I will annihilate them from existence.

[Francine @Francin28577060]

Pastry chef able to make a cake from squashed leftovers.

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

That's on you bro I got shit to live for😭. I'm not fighting big raga 1v1 I know that.

[×͜×¹⁷ Killua🥤 @Zzol_dyck]

I don’t think I would’ve used mahoraga any different than Megumi did tbh, any slight inconvenience and I’m summoning the divine general on yo ass

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

@EQanz0VI @zah13r Looking at it like that its just way too much. The same amount of chapters stretched into nearly 5x the amount of content, its just ridiculous. Based on the numbers you could quite literally cut 75% and it would make the story more coherent and better.

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

@EQanz0VI @zah13r Okay? That isn't helping the case. They basically for more in per episode as they should. Jojo has roughly 800-900 chapters total animated concentrated into around 200 total. One piece for the same amount of chapters is concentrated into 900+. Even with 0 filler its still 800

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

@TenSNeo Very true. It just makes me sad the way it went overall. Was supposed to be on par with other new gen manga like fire force and jjk until it crashed and burned. I suppose some recovery is better than none though as you say.

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

I'm sorry but I don't think the story ever recovered properly. This last arc has been a complete mess. Slowly downhill since the museum arc unfortunately. You can hardly even read it anymore because even the fight scaling is out of whack.

[10Shadz @TenSNeo]

Sakamoto Days just doing complete 180 on writing quality just as the final arc ends is hilarious, but absolutely welcome. This is peak Suzuki and I'm glad he looks like he's going to at least stick the final landing.

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

@CostelloWilliam Hmmm. I have a strange hunch that men aren't telling women to keep high standards so they can stay single for life. Another case of society = women enforcing rules on each other and blaming society as a whole.

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

@reddit_lies Society is doomed as long as cucks like this roam the earth

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

I like anime more than western cartoons however I must say in this case I think gravity falls is better than monogatari under the same category. In terms of a supernatural mystery kind of thing I much prefer gravity falls. Monogatari a bit too weird and discombobulated for me.

[ℕ𝕠𝕖𝕣𝕦 💫 @nisemono_cat]

>Steven Universe or Gravity Falls

I'll be polite: you don't know what you're talking about

Not even dizzing them, as I grew up watching them, but the first episode of Monogatari alone is more profound

Don't believe me? Just watch the first and second episode to get a surprise

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

Honestly I really liked Eden of the east but they did WAYYY too many mind resets for my liking. I think the MC ended up erasing his own memory 4 times in total like damn can we please continue with where we left off😭?

[mani @corpqse]

“Crime and Punishment changed your life? Your foundation is being dictated by a gambling addict?

East of Eden? Steinbeck was a CIA funded propagandist bro

No Longer Human? Really? Osamu Dazai The alcoholic, unfaithful, womanizer?!”

The bait is just so lazy.

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

@migurd_greyrat There's nothing I love more than scrolling through Twitter and finding someone calling in the tactical nuke of evidence on someone. How do you refute this?😂

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

So as expected the damn amnesia arc completely tanked another series in the long run... Re:Zero super fans really got to stop pretending that it was peak fiction.

[Migurudo🐀 @migurd_greyrat]

"Saying lies" lmao here’s the actual Oricon 2-week sales chart from Arc 6 to Arc 10:
• Arc 6 avg: 34.7k
• Arc 7 avg: 22.9k
• Arc 8 avg: 14.8k
• Arc 9 avg: 11.1k
• Arc 10 (Vol 44): 10.2k
That’s a 70% drop in Japan. Keep coping about "free WNs" though

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

Bro I know that's not a blue ring octopus I'm seeing😭? that is some dangerousssss pet. Soon to the afterlife

[Lancesico 🇱🇨 @Bornakang]

Octopus pulled out a domain expansion on him

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

See this how you know rudeus a bitch because I know EXACTLY who I'd be going after. Bro was swimming in milf paradise and went straight to the damn kids😭

[Lord Hokage 👓 @Lord_Hokage_PTS]

In her own words, it’s because "There are no wolves who'd bother coming after me anymore."

The only men who weren’t intimated by her title, aura or muscles had already passed. No one else dared to court her, so she just accepted it.

Bunch of spineless pricks.

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

Its so crazy that when you look at things in a vacuum adult women are the most selfish when it comes to hobbies and making it all about them. The reason why all holidays are sexualised these days is for the same reason. Its not for the kids anymore, its for them.

[Conrad Bastable @ConradBastable]

i) boys interest in reading peaked at 52% in 2016
ii) now only 28% of boys are into it, drop of nearly half
iii) girls also peaked in 2016! 65%! girls do like books more
iv) girls now down to 42%, drop of a third
v) thus: ALL kids were abandoned by publishers, boys just more affected
vi) I say "different people like different things, that's okay, don't be mad about it" a lot...
vii) ...but when people post "boys don't read", their mental model is simply wrong: girls' interest in books is now lower than boys' interest in books was every year from 2005-2022
viii) this is not because "girls don't read" -- it's because the books made & marketed for girls are displaced by books for adult women that happen to feature teenage characters
ix) boys & girls have different interests, however their interests have more overlap than the interests of kids & adults
x) while it's true that if you want books aimed at boys you need to go back in time, this is also true for girls!
xi) The Last Unicorn is a femme-coded hero's journey that both genders can read and enjoy. "Trust Fall" is not.
xii) Howl's Moving Castle is a femme-coded fantasy hero's journey that both genders can read and enjoy. "A Court of Thorns and Roses" is not.
xiii) for a YA book to be publishable now, it needs to be able to sit alongside romance books targeted at adult women on bookshelves and have crossover appeal to an audience that would read those sort of things
xiv) Brandon Sanderson has some books that can do this. The sample size is not zero. What IS zero is the subset of newly published books that have zero appeal to adult women looking to read teen romance.
xiii) Darren Shan sold 30+ million copies of male-coded horror-fantasy mid-grade YA.
xiv) Darren Shan's new series? Rejected. "I assumed the series would be picked up by one of the traditional publishers...the publishers that I took it to all passed."
xv) This makes complete and total sense. His brand name carries zero crossover appeal for the audience who now browse YA shelves.

xvi) The facts of the universe, tragic as they may be, are:
- the population pyramid of reading kids is declining
- boys and girls have different interests
- girls have more interest in reading than boys
- the overlap between boys' & girls' interests is higher than the overlap between girls' and adult women's interests
- both boys & girls have seen large drops in reading interest since 2016, boys more so
- more than half of boys COULD be interested in reading
- the pool of romance readers is large
- adult women do not want to be seen in public reading traditional romance section books, or to think of themselves as the kind of person who does that
- if you want to make money, you need to sell books to this category
- the best way to do that is "crossover" works that sit in more respectable shelf sections
- putting "crossover" works on a shelf changes how that bookshelf is perceived
- putting "crossover" works on every shelf in a store maximizes the chance of selling product to the cash cow customer segment
- putting "crossover" works on every shelf also maximally dilutes the (real or perceived) social penalty of reading romance
- maximally diluting the social penalty of reading romance ALSO maximally associates all books with romance
- associating all of reading with romance is a theoretically economically smart move to address the very first bullet in this section on the changing demographic pyramid
- the publishing industry is heavily centralized
- sales channels are turbo centralized
- group think and social conformism around our current culture war therefore go unchecked and exacerbate ALL the above dynamics

Somewhere at the end of that long chain of facts we get people posting insane things online in one direction or another, foaming at the mouth to call boys who like male-coded books "future incels" or women who like romance books "porn brained" -- and no matter how much people scream at the other gender online, nobody is going to publish a new book my young son will actually go find and read anytime this decade.

[魂Tamashi @SBTamashi]

@3huthings @No1FanOfSylphie Not for me it wasn't. Again I'm not arguing about the growth or what happened I'm saying how. Was amnesia actually necessary for that to be achieved? No. It bored me out of my mind. To me no matter how its done or what happens, ALL mid story amnesia is garbage.

[Big Sex @mainontheplanet]

Books with male leads: good vs evil, right vs wrong, epic story

Books with female leads: how she finds herself, how she was wronged, how she's a victim, "her journey".

Books with female leads r about the females whereas the ones with male leads centre good storytelling
