I would rather james somerton disappear from the internet for any reason, I don't care. if he's actually faking suicide to manipulate people, which at this point absolutely seems like a thing he would do, he needs to gently caress off forever. CW: suicide etc I've known multiple people who killed themselves as well as people whose entire lives were lies built around manipulating, abusing, hurting, stealing from and taking advantage of others, and this gently caress smacks of exactly the second, while using the first as a mere tool in his arsenal to trick people and hurt those he doesn't like. I absolutely do not believe for a second he tried to take his own life, and is only using it to manipulate people.

I thought that was insinuation from a message from a friend of his and not hard evidence that he didn't do anything. regardless, his type is simply not the kind of person who would ever even consider doing that, and his use of it to try to sic a mob on HBG is textbook for that kind and only cheapens the troubles of people who actually need help.

clearly his computer is haunted by his ghost...Endorph posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxIqCRsxYUA that bits insanely funny because while i do agree on the most basic premise of "yeah some old mecha stuff could get p sexist or chauvinist at times" its 1) extremely hyper exaggerated in gen:lock to the point where im p sure the in universe protag of the show in gen:lock would be considered insanely evil anywhere else and 2) just what martian successor nadesico does with its own in universe anime but actually more low key and not beating you over the head about how Sexist and Evil old anime is while killing gay guys and showing horrible sex scenes! they did that idea already like 25 years ago!!

Vincent Van Goatse posted:Yeah my reaction is exactly the same as the guy on the right. That's Jaune Arc. He's voiced by one of the co-creators of RWBY and he has a crush on Weiss, one of the RWBY girls. Also I watched this video on the history of queerness and/or lack thereof in Lord of the Rings and learned that Galadriel's husband is named Teleporno: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBHe5I98nwg

Booky posted:clearly his computer is haunted by his ghost... yeah nadesico is a much more nuanced and interesting exploration of that idea. like the former actor getting a role again during the uneasy peace but wanting to quit because its a kids show thats blatantly saber rattling. (the enemies in nadesico are Jovians, the in-universe show uses the very clever Jovan) or stuff like this    its not 'wow this guys an idiot for liking this stuff' it discusses both what he got out of it and what it actually is, and the complicated intermixing of those two things

also that commentary aside nadesico is a show with characters that actually do stuff and things happen which feels like something rooster teeth struggles to reach like theres plots that are excuses for action and then a show that seems to be actively straining to contrive a reason for literally anything to happen.

I'm looking forward to james somerton's JAID, an animated series where a high school girl is met with problems, gets to become a pilot and dies in the first season because she wasn't nice to the gay best friend.

Weird of someone like Somerton to jump on a trend consisting of a single person but I guess that's what happened.

Karasu Tengu posted:Yeah, he basically laser targeted the kind of new to being outwardly gay kids that go on to post the worst things you've ever seen on twitter. He's basically perfectly tailored to be authoritative enough and close enough to common biases that a bunch of younger people could just go "yeah that sounds right" and then not think about it again. my buddy had no idea who he was before the hbomb video and was gobsmacked to learn this guy was patient zero for every dogshit take about a show or recent queer history event he'd seen online in the past few years lol

(the enemies in nadesico are Jovians, the in-universe show uses the very clever Jovan) The other thing about that was that they had retooled that kids show from Doremi to an ultranationalistic Sailor Moon (Or Precure, I guess). Man Nadescio was so good. Dub was pretty great too (though your enjoyment will be tempered by Spike Spencer's brand of Screaming)

my main problem with anime is that I don't know if it's suddenly going to punctuate an interesting premise with uncomfortable sexualisation of young girls. basically; "Glowing Anime Recommendation Only 70% Caveats"

Here's a video essay from coldcrashpictures about the intersection of cinema and science (specifically dinosaur cinema and the pseudoscience of cryptozoology) which is more complex than you might assume. He's got a whole series about dinosaur cinema plus lots of general film essays https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62daivlrxLU
