I think this might be similar to when the Marvel Superhero movies boom started in the West, and while it's like dream come true with people paying homage to nerd/otaku culture, it's also a trap for originality and what makes anime great and unique. Don't let them take this from you. Keep your eyes peeled, my friend, they already ruined western media with this self-referential cancer.
Again, not bad to pay homage to your inspirations, but still.

Achei engraçadinha a execução do OP, mas também tenho a sensação de que viram Chainsaw Man fazendo referências e gente elogiando, então resolveram copiar sem consideração nenhuma pelo fato que, em CsM, ao menos tem uma leve associação com o fato de que a Makima é cinéfila.

マジで最近こういう俺映画知ってんだぜパロディオナニーするアニメ制作会社増えてきて、なんというかジャームッシュを語る声優みたいな、そっち側に行きたかった人達感が出ちゃうのやめた方がいいなと思う。

@guhhrf Good point, that's something I haven't really thought of really seriously. The problem is, the west has mixed irony and sincerity so much we can't really judge it fairly, to some of us tired of it it all looks fake and insincere, but maybe it's genuine for japanese creators.

[Lagartija Nick @vghrk]

@lollipop_flan It can probably be true and I won't judge them for it but I highly advise Japan against relying on this (self-(ish?)) referential technique since it can lead to a very onanistic path. Good in parcimony, but the bane of modern western media if overdone.

People genuinely see this and stuff like 「Heisei Haizanhei ☆ Sumire-chan」 with a depressed ex-idol hag addicted to gambling and booze and completely miss the point (ignoring the fan-service)

[Anime Tweets @AnimexTwts]

Japanese audiences are reportedly dropping Yani Neko anime because it's just too gross to watch

[Lagartija Nick @vghrk]

Smoked a pack a day for ~13 years before stopping btw, this anime does a favor for people struggling with addiction and depression, if anything. It's not edgy, it's crass humor at best, that may not be everyone's cuppa and that's fine. People are crashing out at a stupid catgirl.

[Lagartija Nick @vghrk]

[MR. OBVIOUS @ObviousRises]

I would honestly put down a human who acted like she does much less a cat, this anime is genuinely disgusting and meant to appeal to genuine smoke addict losers who are headed towards an early suicide—as someone who watched/played anime/games since 10 yo watch Gintama instead.

[Gamefan @Gamefantweets]

Xbox has never had a failed generation.

Xbox - 24 M
Gamecube - 22 M
PS2 - 155 M

Xbox 360 - 84 M
Wii - 101 M
PS3 - 87 M

Xbox One - 55 M
Wii U - 12 M
Switch - 155 M
PS4 - 120 M

If you consider the OG Xbox a failure then you must also consider the Gamecube a failure.

The Xbox 360 was wildly successful despite the early system failures.

If the PS4 sold 55 million would you consider that a failure?

The Xbox Series is on track to outsell the Xbox One.

Case closed.

Eu não costumo ver o Justin muito na minha fyp mas quando ele aparece é sempre com o ragebait (ou take do contra?) mais articulado que vejo em muitos meses.
Em tempo: concordo em partes que é uma histeria, apesar de pessoalmente não achar muito atraente a estética da esquerda; e mesmo com o número grande da Grimes, não acho tão repelente quanto, por algum motivo.
O problema está no ato-reflexo de muitos redpillados que automaticamente, ao ver uma ou duas tatuagens em pontos estratégicos já colocam no mesmo balaio que uma Suicide Girl.

[Justin Murphy @jmrphy]

The currently fashionable male view of tattoos on women is a hysterical herd phenomenon, which pretends to be some kind of sophisticated anthropological "red pill"—except it's obviously wrong.

The meme says "tattoo = red flag" and "no tattoo has ever made a woman more beautiful."

These two observations are contradictory. What none of the Men Against Female Tattoos ever acknowledge is:

Red Flags are Hot. Red flags are not predictors of stability, faithfulness, or sustainable compounding of value, but not all the attractions of human life are perfectly correlated with the preferences of uptight Anglo shopkeepers.

The most sexually attractive traits are correlated with a propensity toward self-destruction: risk, recklessness, and self-endangerment, even to the point of death. Read Freud, Bataille, or even within evo-psych just look at Life History Theory. Self-destruction has always been one of the sexiest things in the world—and for good reasons, even if it cuts against long-term stability.

It may be true that one tattoo rarely makes a woman more beautiful (in part because one tattoo has little signal either way), but what this popular refrain ignores is the following inconvenient fact: Many tattoos can make a woman far more attractive. If you've ever been to a bar at night (many of these men have not), the hottest woman there (according to the actual felt sense of lust averaged across all the men), will ALWAYS be the wild-looking, heavily tattooed baddie over the pristine girl in a sundress, assuming other traits are equal.

If any of these anti-tattoo men were approached by one of these women below, in a bar past 11pm, they would simply wet their pants. They would not be able to handle it, and they've never had the opportunity, either. And I think they know that this is true, which is why they hysterically project against any woman with ANY SINGLE tattoo, with this weirdly intellectualized gloss that folds if you even poke it for a second.

Men who love to talk about their zero-tolerance policy for tattoos on women are often just boring, fearful, cowardly men who know nothing of romance, love, sex, or death. All they care about is securing a loyal safe obedient slave who is guaranteed to never put their long-term value accretion at risk. This is also why many of them never get married at all, or stay perpetually divorced; and the ones who are married are often just uptight bores and petty tyrants over boring, lame little households. Can we also talk about how this anti-tattoo hysteria is itself a kind of inverted woke feminism—it's so prissy, so fixated on "trauma" (which is probably not real, and a left-wing bludgeon), etc.

Sorry bros but the theory presented here is far more consistent with the data. It's OK to have your own preferences; you don't have to dress them up as profound social theories, which conveniently also frame yourself as a good person, and women you could never get as bad people!
