I work doing VR programming for Gundam. In my free time, I'm writing a Discord Dungeons and Dragons 5E game bot. Feel free to DM me if you wanna talk!

Do something for yourself. Put down the news for three minutes, and watch this video of a guy playing piano for a blind elephant who is 10 years past her wild life expectancy.

@UpperDamn@RJ22898576 I'm maybe not articulating myself well. We're on different pages here. I want to emphasize there's... *nothing* wrong with watching and enjoying Raging Bull or Seven Samurai or whatever. Have a good day, friend.
@UpperDamn@RJ22898576 Remember, there is no actual list of rankings here. This is a ranking of movies with the widest gender gaps. It's in no way a list of "x gender thinks these are the best movies"
@UpperDamn@RJ22898576 Dude, all of this is based on a data scrape from https://t.co/CF6vduX29e based on self-reported profile entries. This isn't exactly a scientific journal. I'm just making conversation. Chill out, I'm not trying to fight.
@UpperDamn@RJ22898576 It's not that watching Rashomon makes you a twit. Rashomon is good. It's going on IMDB to demonstrate yourself to be a Worthy Student of Film or whatever. And that's an impulse that is WAY gendered.
@UpperDamn@RJ22898576 @persiaonfilm It's conjecture based on intuition and the overall rankings of movies any given year. I don't know anything for sure.
@UpperDamn@RJ22898576 @persiaonfilm If you pulled the same dude who has gone through and ranked Seven Samurai ten stars or whatever, and asked him on the spot in a survey to name his top five movies, the top four would be Star Wars or Marvel and then the other one would be an eighties movie.
@UpperDamn@RJ22898576 @persiaonfilm It just speaks to men being know-it-alls who want to demonstrate that they've seen Rashomon or some shit, while women... well, Harry Potter and Minions.
@RJ22898576@UpperDamn @persiaonfilm It's also among IMDB users, i.e. people who want to talk about movies on the internet. That re-contextualizes this WHOLE thing and really makes both sides of the list look like a picture of two different flavors of buffoon.
i went down a rabbit hole of togashi yoshihiro (hxh creator) and takeuchi naoko (sailor moon creator)'s marriage and i'm crying at these 2 pics of them
