scary ghost dog posted:the overlap is because shounen is intended for actual kids and young adults, and isekai is intended for full adults crippled into perpetual childhood by exposure to society, which makes it also popular with kids and young adults. this is typically explicitly called out in the first few pages of any given isekai Is one of this supposed to be like Bildungsroman? Shageletic posted:I mean I hope by huffing their own farts you mean dealing with overwhelming and ever present American racism. Makes sense they would be more sensitive to it. The first restaurant in any small town is going to be a Chinese restaurant. It's such a cultural phenomenon, there's an exhibit on it at the Royal Alberta Museum and several books. By far, the first part of Chinese culture people embraced was the food, and then textiles and art in the form of Chinoiserie, etc. Whatever regional dialect was spoken by Chinese in Canada at the turn of the last century had a word like "slop for barbarians", which is what the menu in Canadian Chinese food is still called today. They didn't want to bring authentic Chinese food here, they wanted to give the white people what they wanted. DJJIB-DJDCT has issued a correction as of 23:08 on Mar 27, 2024 |

The problem is when people more and more act as an extension of institutions as opposed to individuals capable of empathy, personal stance, philosophy, etc. I'm certainly not criticizing what you're saying, it's very much in line with my own religious beliefs, but it's hard to live up to those beliefs when I don't feel like I'm dealing with people any more, but rather, apparatchiks of a callous, impersonal, post-human power.

there’s a universe where Al Gore didn’t pick Lieberman (because Clinton’s infidelity didn’t happen or wasn’t reported) and went on to win in 2000 and we never got an Obama or Trump presidency still had the long slow death of the empire due to neoliberalism because, c’mon it’s Gore, so hard to say which is better

In A Failing Grade for the Present Tense William Gass says the flattening of style started in the 70’s when deep throat and watergate convinced everyone that journalism was noble. College english courses retooled themselves to crank out journalists because suddenly that was what students wanted to be. So since then everyone’s just been trained to be a stenographer and not comment on or have an inner life or anything more than events and quotes.
