Opened my box for Battle for Omni, pulled an alternate art version of Omnimon Zwart and Omnimon Zwart Defeat. Feels nice

Endorphins is here once again to RationalPost about how Konaka is just asking questions and expressing a reasonable, grounded level of Trutherism and conspiratorial thinking. Whatever the level for that is, he won’t share, just that Konaka is under it. Bro, we saw people Just Asking Questions about a birth certificate and it ended with a cosplay caveman as House Chair for five minutes. If you can understand why Americans would have no tolerance for trutherism, birtherism, and anti-intellectualism then I will concede that it’s possible the old Japanese man who has lived his life in another culture does not question these things with malicious intent.

It’s just a good discussion of the event that puts it in context. In lighter news, Bandai’s finally been printing enough boxes for card prices to be pretty cheap. The desirable cards from older sets are still expensive but the SR cards (the second highest rarity) from Battle of Omni are at most ten dollars and around three to five for most of them, and the SEC cards (the highest rarity) are fifteen and twenty dollars, respectively. The alternate art cards are worth more, but they’re alternate art, so I don’t mind the price being high for them

Whatever the level for that is, he won’t share, just that Konaka is under it. What the gently caress is this grandstanding bullshit? If you disagree with or want to say Endorph is wrong that's fine, but this "holier than thou" attitude and style posting sucks. Also don't go around presupposing people's gender, Endorph is a girl. Your reading of her posts is also, in my opinion, wrong. I know her, she's not standing for the alt-right, she hates everything they stand for politically. Endorph is just upset that everyone in this thread collectively jumped to the worst conclusions about Konaka immediately based on incomplete third-hand testimony of the content of the event and due to taking blog posts out of context to assert that he's a full on anti-vaxx, Alex-Jones supporting style lunatic, when that really isn't the case. I think Konaka is an old man with some dangerous and stupid opinions and people are right to be upset about those things. But in general people shouldn't rush to the worst conclusions about these things, especially when it is filtered through an American-centric lens, and then spread around as fact, since it muddies the waters of what is going on, and what the intentions of those people were.

Julias posted:What the gently caress is this grandstanding bullshit? He is anti-vax, though, and while he doesn’t support Alex Jones he supports a man who is an equivalent of Alex Jones, who peddles some extremely noxious conspiracy theories. Konaka is way more tuned in to Western culture than you or Endorph are painting him to be. He’s getting a good deal of his ideas from Western sources. He’s using terms like Cancel Culture and Political Correctness directly in English. The first instinct that people had was genuinely correct here. I get it, Endorph is your friend, and you want to defend her, but she’s on the wrong side of this. She seems to agree with a much less noxious version of Konaka’s ideology and seems uncomfortable when people say that it’s an alt-right ideology, and while I don’t think that Endorph is alt-right, she’s doing damage control for someone who is.

Endorph posted:all of this is incorrect. i disapprove of you posting Endorph Conspiracy Theories. Dude is tuned into western culture but he's still never lived in Japan, there's a gap there. And again a key component of the alt-right ideology is racism and transphobia and general hatred, which Konaka has not expressed at all to my knowledge. Dude is a dumbass anti-vaxxer who thinks covid might have been created in a lab but his ability to spread that ideology is pretty limited and he seems perfectly reasonable about complying with covid safety measures as recommended by his employers. I think the man's a moron but I don't think he's hateful. The guy was upset when James Corbett was removes from YouTube, a man who believes in pizzagate. Konaka complained that the actors couldn’t move about during the live reading because “social distancing is trendy.” He said that he was going to start bringing his views into his works. Whether he hates minorities on principle (he made evil feminists a plot point in Armitage III, so maybe he’s less chill than you think), he’s making conspiracy theorist propaganda that sure does dovetail into alt-right propaganda pretty nicely. I don’t really care if someone has hate in their heart when they’re vocally committed to a toxic belief system that will get people killed. Your analysis has been bad, your trying to downplay the depths of what he believes and the danger has been bad, and your trying to defend yourself through a pedantic definition of alt-right has been bad. gently caress off

I'm still waiting on a UK release for it. I'm happy they decided to do a western release at all though, the black/white X is about the only modern Japanese release I missed out on. Also happy that Bandai America realises the west would never in a million years stand for the overpriced one and done Premium Bandai crap they pull with the JP releases!

I agree with you that Konaka’s influence is limited and what he did was basically use an opportunity to reconnect with fans to instead parade piping hot takes about deplatforming that was probably not what anyone had in mind. But you started this off with “he’s right” and then suggested that everyone here on this message board is proving it. You’ve refined it down now to where you don’t believe 100% what he does and think some of his ideas are a little out there, which is definitely an evolution from where we started. We as consumers have a lot of choices in what to watch with our time, so someone using the Digimon property to float a message that comes 95% of the way to meeting the right wing message of “conservative voices are being silenced” isn’t going to be super popular among people who think perma’ing Trump from Twitter and InfoWars from YouTube makes the world a better place overall. You seem to think it’s inappropriate to connect Konaka’s views on vax and disinformation to the US conservative movement (referred to often as “the alt-right” in this thread; the differences matter not because they have taken over the GOP). The problem is that I don’t know him personally well enough to say that he’s definitely not being influenced by them, especially after some of the sources he says he trusts for information are extemely sketch. It sucks to have to infer people’s true intentions, but it’s not a surprise US readers/viewers will do so since the country is so bitterly divided and some of Konaka’s hobbies like the Truther thing are just unacceptable here for the damage they have done here to the definition of truth.

Craptacular! posted:First of all, I just want to say I meant no malicious intent to misgender you since I didn’t know your gender when I last posted. In fact my use of “bro” was a phone-corrected “bruh” used in exasperation, but since that term felt even more belittling than the “hey, look” that I intended, I kept the change. I don’t normally address microaggressions but that one went beyond the usual and was on me. My fault. And a big bugbear for me was the complete mispreading of misinformation, ironically in the name of calling him out for spreading misinfo. Like the 9/11 thing, it was presented as straight up 'dude is a hardcore 9/11 conspiracist' and not 'he googled 9/11 conspiracies once and thinks its a bit shady but has no real theory or thoughts about it beyond that.' And me correcting that was taken as me defending 9/11 conspiracies.

I think her “he’s right” was specifically about the cancel culture thing, not about the other stuff. I don’t think that’s changed and I don’t think that’s an unpopular opinion among more than just the alt right, especially in other countries.

I don’t think that’s changed and I don’t think that’s an unpopular opinion among more than just the alt right, especially in other countries. She also said he was right to be upset that James Corbett was deplatformed. The thing about being against “cancel culture”, especially about how Konaka used it, is that it isn’t a concern about people brigading in an extremely misguided attempt at justice, it’s old men being upset that they are faced with the most minor of consequences. Reasonable people can understand, in a context where an evil monster called Political Correctness uses the attack Cancel Culture, they aren’t talking about the online brigading. Endorph wanted to make that part of the discussion about something it clearly was not. Then she said that, after watching the show, it wasn’t that bad. Then she said she read his blog, and it wasn’t that bad. Was she right that he wasn’t a truther back in 2010, and that he was saying Covid 9/11 as an example of what someone else had said? Yes. But she was wrong about pretty much everything else, and has come back into the thread, trying to have her cake and eat it too by saying “oh my opinions evolved (but actually I was right)”
