I’m not being mean to you, or anyone, I would suggest you’re either not parsing or are able to deconstruct and break down what I am saying and are making me into a villain over it. I’m not spreading hate, it’s more unpleasant to seek muting me. Please, stop it.
Yes maybe the wiser choice would be to say nothing here, but I will stand with what I feel and say, and maybe you could consider it sometimes healthy for the discourse to get over having some idealized claims challenged.
this is you challenging the discourse right now though
Good one…not really
Okay, for the last time, I read the article and articulated my thoughts in a post, referred to as response. That’s permitted. I didn’t shut anyone out, in those lines I wrote and between them is a logic I’m not afraid to express or find problematic, no one’s done much anything with it other than “I don’t like what you’re presenting here in a calm and collected manner”.
So, are we gonna go to the lengths of polling on this topic? I’m down to, already started in fact. More accurately, gathering opinions*. I can’t really apologize for being quick to analyse this article and explore what it considers problematic, or how it could be addressed.
You didn’t articulate your own response. You “wondered” what would happen if you could find a black person who agreed with you.
Nope, I’m fairly certain I described things in such a way to get their thoughts not what you think I’m doing so conveniently only for self affirmation, obviously I wouldn’t be here right now if I didn’t care about such a claim and the tangential issues swirling around it. If I wasn’t clear about that or in phrasing, my bad
OK I’ve got it your name is Rumpelstiltskin
I keep going back to the original post to quote the part of it but it’s basically the entire thing? Like I don’t know how else to summarize what is happening in that post.
You also “wondered” why you haven’t seen this take until now. Which is honestly a reasonable thing to wonder, considering the article was written a year and a half ago.
the developers themselves have admitted the style is problematic, and they were trying to ‘seperate it from all that garbage’
oh and the artist said 'it’s just visuals and that’s about it. anything else happening in that era we’re not versed in it."
the fact that they had to tiptoe around the word racism, or just plain claim ignorance says a lot.
its hard to not read your shit in bad faith when i only see you having these kind of arguments over social issues. like you paint yourself as objective and well thought out and calm, but any time someone criticizes something for being socially tone deaf you gotta UM ACTUALLY WE NEED A POLL WE NEED LAWYERS AND HARD NUMBERS all over the place, then tell everyone how wrong they were for always misunderstanding you.
im trying my best, i really am… but even if you MEANT WELL you can’t be oblivious to the fact that mentioning your black friend as a white person in any conversation about racism has been a trope and racist dogwhistle for so long that its covered in psych studies? it even has an urban dictionary page
like if you want people to understand you more clearly, you have to read the room just a tiny bit
i dont really know if its necessary or “healthy” for the discourse to challenge whether or not the obviously racist thing is racist. between the cyberpunk thread and the shit in the jon blow thread because you were trying to be a Facts & Evidence guy about sexual assault i dont know what the fuck your deal is but why do you keep doing this over and over again. you dont want to have a conversation, you just want to say some incredibly contentious shit and wonder why everyone is cyberbullying you when people get understandably upset. the free marketplace of ideas doesnt fucking exist pal
Not intending malice is not the same thing as acting in such a way as to prevent harm; it is entirely possible to act within the rules in such a way that authority is obligated to intervene. I would further add that there’s some pretty fucking huge hypocrisy in expressing with one post that you believe you are acting reasonably but you are willing to correct if you are given a reasonable response, and when confronted with an immediate response, your answer is that anybody feeling the way the responder does can’t read properly and that the request you discontinue having this effect is itself odious enough to require a behavior change.
Insisting that you are acting within the framework of the rules without understanding the unwritten rules of the situation is a possibly fatal vulnerability. Do you want to ostracize yourself? Because this is how you fucking ostracize yourself.
You’ll have to force me out, my conscience is clear.
Okay.
What a topic to take a “heroic” last stand on.
i finished sarazanmai a couple weeks ago and i can’t stop thinking about it??? i definitely did not expect an exploration of (male) vulnerability & the commodification of queer desire from the silly kappa musical
this article is hella full of spoilers but is a much more eloquent read of it than i’ve got in me
It’s such a wonderful show.
last week: fuck yeah, Symphogear is back!
this week: fuck yeah, more Sympho-
HOLY SHIT, SYMPHOGEAR IS BACK
NOT LIKE THIS THOUGH

Symphogear has again been blessed by Crunchyroll so there’s no more SUBS WHEN ever and they’re even subbing songs consistently this time 'round
