jaggy explain the av

obama recently thanked japanese prime minister shinzo abe for giving us anime, so i thought it only appropriate to go with the "obama is a weeaboo" meme. in the av he's holding a picture of homura from Really Good Anime "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", which reframed sailor moon as a hosed up lovecraftian/cronenberg body horror. the text is from this article: lovely Anime Taste A Key Factor In Midterm Elections

what the gently caress was that movie, i went and saw it in theaters and it was so weird. it's a movie about a big ogre dude who punches tanks how can you gently caress that up?

nutranurse you're cool. sorry for picking on your haircut dude, i think "middleaged lesbian" is a more evocative term then just "lesbian"

my favorite part about that movie was how mad Ang Lee got about some comedian saying "don't get me ang lee, you won't like me when i'm ang lee" because he thought it was a racist joke about chinese/japanese L and R switching

i mean i can see why he didn't get the joke, his name in chinese is Li An but you'd think after all those years he'd know how anglophones said it

gently caress landlords forever

who decided "well you own stuff, that means you can collect capital forever"

that concept, and the underpinnings of american and british property law, are traced directly to the feudal era and were extent by the time that william the conqueror rolled into england and conducted a survey of property law. tho land = money predated feudalism thats just the lineage of anglo property law

so prolly some roman guy or an anglo saxon or something

it's sad to think that instead of new generations coming up with their own stories, popular culture will have basically ground to a halt around 1985 because through the magic of capitalism star wars and marvel superheroes will be at the forefront of mainstream culture forever, propelled by however many billions of dollars disney has in the bank

it's actually even worse than grinding to a halt in 1985, it's being forcibly rolled back to 1985 because the pop culture of 1985 through 2010 was mostly anime and japanese poo poo and japan is imploding

we're in a really fractured and diverse moment for culture right now it's just movies that are moribund poo poo

those people aren't Proper Rich though, i'm talking "estates" rich

a lot of high earners are still essentially proletarian, so it's easy to see where they'd bite on the whole "doctor" thing. if you live on an estate, you are not a professional in any sense, you're either legitimately filthy rich or you're decaying aristocracy, and i'm pretty sure we're meant to infer that doctor guy's family are not actual aristocracy

the filthy loving rich in america still push their children into high compensating professions. i took a class with the son of the ceo of goldman sachs for fucks sake

i am not nuancing my argument because it's four in the morning and i can't sleep and i'm posting about my musings on a half-remembered episode of a mediocre television series

i am well aware that there are shades of this stuff, but there is a very real tendency and i've remarked on it before. i'd use the term 'episteme' because it fits, but i suspect that it may not be the most productive choice of words. the information environment in america is such that most americans are fed one major theme - this whole middle-class concept, the American Dream, call it what you will - and it causes strange misunderstandings like whedon's naïve assumption that because being a doctor is seen as A Good Thing in his own culture, this culture would logically deal with it the same way. obviously the further you get from actually living according to this ideal the less the narrative will catch you (so if you're very rich or very poor, you'll realise that this is rubbish), but it's still there to some extent.
the firefly universe is one in which china and america merged and became the hegemons. it is appropriate for it to contextualize culture with american underpinnings in universe in that case. and the rich absolutely do that in america, why do you think ivy's have legacy admissions
