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
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
All I'm saying is that if Erwin lived he'd be the most severe Jaegerist of them all and would 100% back and allow the rumbling to occur. They chose wrong
The choice between Erwin and Armin was one of the cruelest decisions in #AOT But saying Armin didn't deserve to live is wild😭 Erwin may have been the better strategic choice, but Armin's potential shouldn't be underestimated ever!
The problem isn't female protagonist's, its the overwhelming crazy liberal feminist super far-left self insert main characters that are everywhere that makes it unreadable. Doesn't help its case with the fact that all the dudes are also hyper feminised and useless.
Male authors are being sidelined in the publishing industry, resulting in an overwhelming number of female protagonists on our shelves—and a dearth of male ones.
By policing who and what gets published, the hegemons of the publishing industry encourage one-sided stories that focus on the female experience and do not have much to bring to a male readership.
No wonder young men are no longer reading.
You clearly don't know that the tsundere market for women is at least 500x larger than it is for men. I hate all of it and am a fan of Kudere supremacy.
This guy was crazy enough to brain jump bodies and take back shots to further his goals, I don't trust that nigga. Only god himself knows what kind of ungodly heinous acts he was preforming back then I bet it was 10x worse than sukuna.
Sukuna was a cannibal who killed and ate people during the Heian era and committed mass slaughter, yet he still isn’t considered the most evil and vile sorcerer in Jujutsu history. What in the actual fuck was Kenjaku doing during back then bro
The UK equivalent of this was being forced to read and analyse love poems as well as Romeo & Juliet. Boys are never going to be interested in that stuff 90% of the time. UK English class doesn't appeal to boys at all either.
I read a lot as a boy, and fancy I still read quite a bit today.
The first book I remember obsessing over in lower school was about dinosaurs. I read it several times a week.
I progressed to Narnia, Harry Potter, Treasure Island, Artemis Fowl, War of the Worlds, His Dark Materials, Sherlock Holmes, Day of the Triffids, a bunch of Arthur C Clarke, The Hitch Hiker's Guide, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and so on.
None of this was on the reading list, which at high school seemed to consist, in the main, of lesbian poets— taught by a woman who was much better at being a lesbian than she was at being a poet.
My lower and middle schools also decided - I do not know if they still do this - to make it competitive. Students were assigned a "reading age," and naturally, being a boy, I wanted to trounce the opposition.
Jayne Eyre is indeed a masterpiece. Absolutely nothing could have convinced me, then, to give a shit. Nor, frankly, could it now.
Boys and girls are different. If you want boys to read, don't give them Jayne Eyre, or any of the interminably solipsistic, introspective guff that makes girls think they're interesting.
Boys need fantasy, science fiction, the external over the internal world — and, yes, a bit of "self-actualisation with a weapon".
This is better and healthier than self-actualisation at the end of a werewolf's dick, which seems to make up the bulk of women's publishing today.
Failing this, boys will continue to find their thrills in videogames, which have not yet been entirely ruined by women.
@red939832@No1FanOfSylphie Yeah. I'm aware that it caused controversy when it dropped in the light novel too but everyone overrating it as the best arc in the whole series (bogus). I genuinely can't stand it man it just felt so random and out of place.
Every year we now do YA book gender discourse.
While it's true that publishers abandoned boys, they also abandoned kids! Adults are 75% of YA readers. YA & fantasy both now serve to launder romance content to adult women, exploiting perceived social status deltas.
The red pills are going to hit the Alpha boys harder than anyone before them.
Imagine being psychologically tortured for your entire K-12 life and then learning the truth.
Western men have swung right and they'll keep swinging right for another 20 years.
I think the whole “ai is bad for the environment” and “ai is stupid and enabling our children” arguments have kinda made people forget the biggest reason to be anti-ai.
It’s plagiarism. It’s theft. That’s how it works. It works by stealing.
@PoltFan69 Yeah I actually detest that. It aggravates me so much when I'm reading a manga and the language changes randomly. "Locking in" and "insane aura" frequently popping up and it makes me feel sick. Please give the faithful translation even if it doesn't translate e.g (thieving cat).
Men want heroic stories. Women, typically aren’t drawn to those stories, and gravitate toward romance. I had great male teachers, who were veterans. They would tell war stories in class. I was mesmerized. My female classmates were bored to tears. The feminine adventure is being sought after in romance. Men want to be the hero who saves the day and makes a great sacrifice. Or fights against impossible odds. Men and women are different, we should appreciate it rather than continually fight against our better natures
Once you understand that foids have a biological, instinctual, and completely unconscious drive to 1) sniff out masculinity and tame it and 2) sniff out weakness and protect it, almost everything about their politics immediately makes sense.
And once you understand that there is an evolutionary mismatch occuring, where these instinctual drives evolved for managing things at the micro level (family and community) but are being applied at the macro level (global politics and society) you also realize that letting them do this unabated will destroy all of civilization.
"You have men claiming they’re looking
For a wife meanwhile f*cking 5 women who would all gladly be his wife"
You cannot be promiscuous and complain about how men/women are ruining the world. You cannot be promiscuous and then complain about marriage and fertility rates. You are the maker of your own doom.
If you're promiscuous and genuinely do not care about marriage and fertility? Then at least you are intellectually consistent.
I do. I'm an eye for an eye type guy. She should've been executed. There is no redeeming this. Proven multiple times later in the story by causing chaos, death and disarray by being a vengeful bitch. There was a very easy solution to this.
