@nismo2632 If you have the cargo capacity to carry ammunition you could instead carry coolant with enough specific heat capacity to dump the heat between lionfish modes. Like old submarines surfacing to charge batteries.

@noel_valentine @Dilemma_Nay In many online arguments outside of Japan. Its a battle to be more entertaining, you want the audience to have more fun being on your side then your opponents. A debaters wit is measured by how well they can do this.
Its mostly an online thing.

@OT78623227 @nasubi_mono You lose if you get angry or get too invested.
Because they have stolen your calm.

You win by showing you got more entertainment.
Or better yet ignore them and live a good life.

@ayasekaz There is the strange case of samurai pizza cats, The English localization didn't have a proper Japanese translation to work off so they wrote mostly new dialogue. It was something of a hit.

@maruoekai123 Its a different world.
Back in the day a youth in the west would get flash banged by random ep of something like bubble gum crisis, having no idea about anime, studios, Japan etc. I think many have inherited their ethics from the days before the internet and context was common.

@hydrangea_red @AlbionHero The West tends to be much more consequentialist by default. It can seem strange, but many Western interlocutors are quite earnest about working through that sort of complicated reasoning.

@waxter1211 @Kouhei_Takeoka I think there is a lot of mistranslating going on and not a clean 1 to 1 cultural mapping.
Art in the western sense is any creative expression, in Japan it seems to be what you call high art.

This is a non sequitur to the copyright issue.

@kurosal @niseikkyu To some extent I think that's inevitable in all societies
and can be healthy. Most people are not deriving
their manners from first principles.
Japan seems to have these forces in a different balance to the outside.
Maybe historic periods with reduced pluralism to navigate?

@numanuma_black Might have been a one off license quirk in Australia but some anime was briefly on steam years ago. I don't know if they were testing the water or why it happened. https://t.co/j8O54ruFYX

@blackcat009 In the west copyright is not seen as virtue in itself.
It's virtue is in compensating the creators.
When this is unavailable or unrealistic, such as out of print media or region locked, the law loses its virtue.
Seems many Japanese place virtue on the law itself. Odd POV for us.
