I mean the series in general. That's the only example I have of anything at all close to what Flubby described happening.

i got burned out by AoT when the super grimdark started. Didn't think it was fascism or any of that poo poo, i'm just done with 'become the baddie to beat the baddies, FACE TO BLOODSHED' poo poo. Kinda glad I bailed early.



It's not actually fascist. It just has an unneeded line. But still calls the guy out for his actions being a mistake.

The tonal shift of the very last chapter is ataggering, like the entire arc prior is them explicitly doing everything they possibly can including sacrificing themselves just to stop him, that line is entirely out of character for what has been happening in the last dozen+ chapters prior.

Attack on Titan is about a world of only fascism and you're supposed to root for the Good Fascists to beat the Bad Fascists, and long before this insane ending this was the case. Isayama loving loves fascism and literally based a character on a colonial war criminal and IJA leader. gently caress Attack on Titan.

Your going by a lot of wrong info then. Like the fact that said general died before those war crimes, and Isayama said one the reasons he admired him was for giving up on a life of war.

I'm not interested in Isayama apologia, because anyone who hasn't admitted what that guy is by now never will, but on this particular point, just so we're clear, do you think Japan only started doing colonialism in WW2?

I'm not really interested in the AOT fascism argument but I'm not sure Isayama putting in that guy is any different from a british writer putting in a Churchill stand-in or a Finnish writer putting in a Mannerheim stand-in (who was a finnish general/president and a mass-murdering piece of poo poo but widely regarded as a national hero).

ah, the "I'm not going to engage in any meaningful discussion with you, but just going to snipe instead" method of internet argument, excellent, you are a true scholar. so how much purestrain twitter hot takes did you inject to reach this point

also pat didn't call aot fascist. in fact he got into a twitter spat over specifically that point.

or an american(or other!) writer putting in a patton, eisenhower, sherman, etc stand-in

turns out a whole lot of glorified military mooks the world over did a lot of reprehensible poo poo that they should be discarded and scorned by history for, but are often instead glorified, and then we often learn those watered down heroic fabricated histories of them during history class.

i first heard about attack the titan ~2013 from the then zorak-led ADTRW. the thread described it as a meditation on the nature of fate and death and that it was a depressing bloodbath reminiscent of berserk. i watched the first episode and it began with jetpacks made of wood and it was stupid

Listening to Woolie mentally calculus his no-skill entry-level QA job into being the most critical role in game development is a hell of a thing. Like, I get it- he knows a lot about QA and it's definitely a vital part of development, but I'm so tired of Woolie going "As someone who did QA ten years ago I have a lot of game development experience, and..." and proceeding to talk out his rear end about poo poo he genuinely doesn't have any understanding of or insight into.

Omi no Kami

Honestly he's probably his own worst critic, I've always assumed that, like, a solid 90% of his sanctimony and aggressive stubbornness comes from anxiety and wanting to do his best, which is totally understandable. But that doesn't change how utterly insufferable he becomes outside the narrow window of stuff he's both good at and likes talking about... the more I fall off their content, the more I feel bad for the guy. Of the four it feels like pat is the only one who still actually wants to be a weirdo internet person as a full-time job.
