Great animation, great characters, good storyline... all in the service of rank vileness.
The show literally ends with Madoka becoming a universal force for good and sabotaging the system that harmed her and her friends

you’re definitely reading this one, on the very top of this subforum, which has multiple people decrying the bans and probably aren’t going to be punished at all.

like is anything going to be done about this dude posting whatever the hell this is?

which was also already brought up in the qcs thread. like dealing with extremely hosed up poo poo like that seems more important than me than getting mad at me for hurting your feelings. i’m sure i could find more if i looked but i don’t really want to, the burden of cleaning out your bad posters is on you guys unless you want people to keep ruining your cartoon threads.
did you try reporting the post

Depends on if Crunchy decides to put all their money behind this one. Seems like their wheelhouse lately.
pretty sure that if CR was going to fund the project, they already would have, allowing for a better director?

Looking forward to another three months of discourse! Thinking about workshopping my approach in advance--how does "says they're watching it to chronicle the bad parts but actually enjoys them" sound? I want to make sure I have a niche.

discord owns because one of the people who works on it used to make guildworks for mmos (at the time, ffxiv especially had a lot of guildworks users) and guildworks support went away totally when discord started happening for real but he accepted donations from guildworks users for several more months. discord makes gamers mad

I was actually referring to Said's whole overarching idea of orientalism, as it is used by psuedointellectuals on the internet. Because I find it to be utter bollocks.
lmao I thought you meant that orientalism--that is, orientalism itself and not the study of it--was trash. ok bud. excited to see your mono-sentence deconstruction of post-structuralism

Ohio, although the notion that my opinion is solely because of or a result of my background is such an elegant confirmation of my reasoning that I'll take that as well.

I'm enjoying Macross Frontier so far but why does the sniper guy have so much hair covering his eyes? Its very annoying to me. Also it's definitely in the 'don't let your wife walk in when watching it, there may be a boob giantess onscreen' category. Is any good anime not like that?

Controversial opinion: showing problematic actions, language, characters, and opinions does not necessarily equal endorsement of those ideas. Infact, being able to explore controversial themes in fictional narratives, where nobody is being directly hurt by it, is some of the most interesting fiction because it challenges the consumer's perspective on things and allows for an engagement with an unusual subject matter. Context of who the author is that informs authorial intent and the message that they're trying to convey is more important in my opinion in determining how 'problematic' a work is.

depicting the minority experience, as many minority authors like to do, involves relaying the treatment of and reaction to minorities, which can include some very unpleasant language! also, some minority authors have written stories about deeply bigoted characters; I can't remember the author or title, but an African-American man wrote a story about a racist white dude and the way he became that way, and you better bet the n-word is involved

I'm a trans woman, and I assure you I am well aware of what the minority experience is like.
I was trying to describe the depiction of the minority experience in media, not the minority experience itself. I didn't mean to dictate the latter, and I apologize for implying as much.
