Sounds like everyone needs to change their priorities. Women ain’t getting shit as I am notoriously homosexual and my knees are too terrible and my jokes too dry. Men. Find a better role model, I beg of you. As for all the non-binary peeps, sounds like you’re all well adjusted at the moment so I’ll leave that be.

I apologize profusely.

You and me both…

I don’t know why this got me so hard. Just cackling over here.

Considering the things I’ve done to some men… I doubt this joke is gonna make a difference. But will definitely see you there lol

Sorry for the late getting to this but I’ve got over 500 messages in my fuckin’ inbox…

I’m with you. The behavior is genuinely one reason why I haven’t bothered with a lot of anime. The few times I have I’ve been criticisized like a motherfucker for it being dubbed over subbed or a certain version or whatever and I got exhausted and checked out entirely.

You shut the fuck up

Look at the big dude over here able to afford current day VR systems

I’ma be real, that didn’t really change my opinion on the whole “slaps his own ass during sex” thing…

I cannot stand anthropormophized characters. I don’t know what it is and well aware that it’s a personal thing but it drives me absolutely insane. That also feels way too… cutesy. Death Note I liked because it’s dark. Whether its for teenagers doesn’t matter so much to me as the tone of it. All the shows that I watch are usually pretty darker in tone, mysterious as hell, and with a plot that you’ve gotta figure out. Stuff like Severance, Westworld, Hannibal, The Expanse, even How to Get Away with Murder. Character driven stories that have a mystery with wits being involved more than strength but that also are dark. Death Note surprised me because it managed to hit every single one of those things but with the added benefit of something I’m always looking for but can rarely find. The main character being the bad guy. I am so overwhelmingly bored of the good guy winning, especially when it doesn’t reflect reality. I like stuff that subverts expectations to an extent and the expectation for me is good always triumps over evil.

So One Punch Man has been suggested to me before. What you said about the B Story is partially why I’m not interested in it.

I’ve become real fuckin’ jaded. I am so tired of heroes. I grew up on Bond who is hella flawed and has serious problems but then its just like everything got saturated with that. When I was watching Death Note I was enjoying it because the main character was the bad guy for once. Not to mention the point at which I quit meant that the bad guy won. I’m tired of heroes and of the conflict within and having to cope with that. Also I’m a Superman stan and that’s the majority of his shtick when you analyze it so I’m familiar with it as a story.

Overlord I’ve heard mentioned a lot and might sell me because he’s not necessarily a good guy. He’s just a dude.

I liked it up until L dies but from then on it just doesn’t make any sense at all and is so contrived. I mean not like the ‘plans’ that Light was coming up with were anything short of fuckin insane.

Suckers for punishment, huh? I… cannot say I relate. At least to that level of self-harm.

The funny thing is, the monologuing is what I enjoyed. The fun action, adorable creatures and badass robots are what put me off about most anime and why I haven’t seen much of it. I get very easily overstimulated by a lot of stuff happening on screen and anime often manages to trigger that stupidly easily in me. Death Note got around that by it just being a battle of wits so everything was slower and the only hyper-active moments I can really remember was the “I take a chip and I eat it” scene.

As a Trekkie I do appreciate when they go hard on the small details like that. This is a book series but Lightbringer by Brent Weeks for that insane magic system also gets my love for the same reasons.

I will consider it. Death Note snuck by me largely for reasons unknown but I can nail down a couple. One is that it was very head-y with not much in the run of visual action. One of the things that puts me off about Anime is that it can be extremely flashy. Not a complaint, again, just a thing that personally puts me off. Like a lot of stuff happening a lot on screen is visually overwhelming for me. Battle sequences in space in like Trek or Star Wars also I struggle to get through. Sometimes they’re some of my favorite things but I have to push through it because I get overstimulated really easily. Death Note just… wasn’t that. Barely any visual action and it was primarily a battle of wits.

Yeah… I quit after Watari sends a signal to an orphanage. At that point I just went “Well the rest of this is idiotic. This seems like a great point to stop.”

The comic isn’t about boycotting locations as a whole, It’s just done through a lens of someone working a minimum wage job who has to deal with people yelling at them. Especially about issues they’re having and saying they’re never going to shop there again. It doesn’t impact them personally and getting angry at them personally won’t help.
