Kill wholesome. Comfy at least has kept some association between its use and its meaning.

The word that needs to be flung from net parlance forever is 'underrated.' My eye twitches whenever I see someone posting a clip from MHA or AoT and calling some household name mega-brand underrated.

I mean, I’d call it wholesome because it consistently promotes the message that people should be able to enjoy what they like and be who they want to be regardless of gender stereotypes.

remembering the Wholesome Games backlash where a few people complained about how queer games were kind of being hamstrung into having to be 'wholesome' as a marketing thing and kotaku put out this insane hit piece about how anyone with even mild complaints is setting back gay rights, and one of the people running the wholesome games showcase compared it to apartheid.

i think sasamiya was definitely falsely sold to me as slow burn, because i imagine slow burn as the process of falling in love and not "instant attraction and being too stupid and/or scared to say it"

the low iq viewer: bisque doll, wholesome

When the first episode aired I thought the people saying it was a feet show were being weird and reading too much into one scene, but now I have to admit that yeah they have a point. It's still a pretty show but it's like watching a Tarantino movie where you're just waiting for the out-of-place closeup that was crammed into the story this week.

I will say I’m glad sasaki and miyano got to having the side cast featuring more heavily because my opinions on fluffier romcoms live and die on the side cast

I just don’t feel super invested in the main duo unfortunately and the constant time skips and flashbacks are kinda disorienting even if it’s a pretty straightforward story

Strongest Sage is so rote it's boring me.

All I've been watching is Leadale and Priconne. I keep meaning to watch bisque doll and some stuff from last season. Princess connect is real good though.

I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to watch Leadale though, the main character is kinda unlikable

I'm ambivalent on Leadale. I'll probably keep it as something to watch on Wednesdays, but it's pretty rote. Kinda sad, if what I have heard was correct and this was actually one of the early isekai stories. Maybe if it had come out back when it was new then it would have been seen as more unique. Now, it's just one more in a sea of such shows.

Meanwhile, Miss Kuroitsu continues to be silly, goofy fun, and watching things like Cannon being henpecked by Hydra's dragon heads is a delight. Haven't had this much fun with an evil organization since "Excel Saga." Not as good, but still enjoyable.
