And that, as much as anything else, led to my drinking problem.
Echoes Act 2 is really cute but I don't like the white shoes/kneecaps. They stand out from the rest of the design in a bad way. I wish it still had the silly training wheels.

The worst thing about this whole Yukako topic is the fact that people often beat around the bush with what they really mean or want to say because in the majority of the discussions about this kind of poo poo on the internet so people play safer than sorry, some one ends up being called sexist, others end up going "you're quite clearly unintelligent, unlike myself, for having opinion x or y on this matter", it's not an interesting topic, it's not an enjoyable topic to read, it only really serves to drag discussion down and it's god-drat boring. It overshadows everything else about the episode. I know it's important to ascertain whether or not this character was born out of an hatred of the opposite sex, but maybe, just maybe, you can talk about something worth reading such as how Echoes Act 2 is cool as gently caress.

It's the "Is Alessi a paedophile?" of Part 4.

No one has said that anyone else was less intelligent for disagreeing about Yukako. No one has claimed that Yukako "was born out of an hatred of the opposite sex."

There are one or two posts in this very thread saying that if someone has a certain view point, they're wilfully disingenuous or other implied insults. Not to single out said posts or posters, so if this rings your bell, no offence intended. Sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on gender, both sentiments born of hatred, they're inextricably linked. :shrug:

I'm not implying that people are starting a lynch mob, but there's a certain degree of looking down on people on this topic going on in here.

Which is another reason why it's a boring, bad and lovely topic that achieves nothing.

I don't know what part of "carrying on the conversation, but explaining why it's a poo poo topic" is "not participating". It's actually the exact opposite.

You were protesting the entire idea of the discussion, when the discussion was just that one poster didn't get why it'd be sexist and the response was "Well come on, her character is a stereotype of women."

It's a common response to the character. Of course it's going to come up.

Discussing problematic aspects of a piece of media in the discussion thread dedicated to that piece of media is not boring, bad, or lovely.

Certain types of posts on the topic can be one or more of those things...but the discussion itself is worth having.

There's a difference between saying that Yukako is a sexist character, and saying that the character was born out of a hatred of women.

Stardust Crusaders is overplayed even though it's a good part. Eyes of Heaven is just a retelling in the end, the OVA's, HFTF, Jotaro being the image character in JoJo. It's obviously the route to money so it makes sense, but there's a lot of JoJo and they could do a lot more if they want to do some new stuff for it.

Yukako pros:
- Broke into a house and built an electric chair to help her kidnapped love interest become a better person
- Becomes cooler and funnier later on when she tones it down
- Has dark hair and blue eyes like the original husbando, Jonathan

Yukako cons:
- Is a B-tier villain

Damnit, I love Yukako

Jonathan has had like 5 different hair colours depending on the medium, but it's always been of the dark variety. Didn't realize they gave Yukako purple eyes though. Oh well, dark hair, bright eyes is my jam

Tell me he wouldn't be perfect in every way. We already know he can do ham.

Definitely. Granted, I still don't own jojo a-gogo but there's stuff in jojoveller that isn't really collected elsewhere, I don't think. I feel like it favors later arcs but that makes sense given the wealth of material for earlier parts.

The Stands book that comes with it is obviously gonna be impossible to get through if you don't read Japanese but still looks nice. I confess, I've owned jojoveller for a while now and I've still never actually popped in the blu-ray to see what it even is.
