    Minors shoudn't even have access to lolishota content. If they search for it and find something that puts them off, that's on them (and their guardians)

    And people who give them that content with the execuse of "warning them". 

    "Think of the kids" is never a valid excuse. There are triggers and warning for that stuff everywhere.

    Oh yes, innocent minors

    What? No I said when a random twitter minor says they don't like lolicon or shotacon content and get bashed for it.

    Like, I agree with your made-up scenario, but it wasn't what I said. (Also, what's the point of posting an image of something made up? I feel like you have a lot of anger for certain people or things with a lot of made-up scenarios in images)

    Ah yes, the classic. "Wahmen are worse at things than men, ignore the fact that we skew the playing field against women so they can't do better than us."

    ...No but seriously the heck, so much for the argument that gender segregation in sports competitions is done to be fair on women! It literally only happened because a woman won once! Fragile egos much?

    LITERALLY! AGH! Kind of glad women want gender equality and not gender revenge haha.

    I do feel that Shrimpy has a slight point there, parents should be way more hands-on about the places their kids wander off to online than they often are. For the sake of the kids. The internet is a scary place and kids shouldn't just freely explore it, that's bound to get them to fall into nasty places.

    Still, doesn't excuse shaming a kid for being put off by stuff that sexualizes them. Perhaps it's not a good reactoin, but it's a pretty natural reaction, I'd say, and it's the parents' fault they weren't careful about what the kid did with the phone/computer. Kids up to a (variable) age aren't capable of caution.

    Yeah I agree with Shrimpy too with what was said, it's just not what I said. I said children can be disgusted and stuff and shouldn't be attacked for it, not that they should be free on the internet or that they are impervious to criticism.

    Anyway, have fun moral crusading as keyboard warrior while real criminals do whatever they want while you harass people over pieces of paper if it makes you sleep better at night.

    This is uncalled for, but ok. I literally don't do any of what you say lol. I don't harass people over pieces of paper, I have only ever "harassed" people who do real-life shit. Kind of understandable that then, I would be wary of people who do it online. Especially being friends with people who have been the result of the very same trauma I am against being depicted light-hearted.

    Like, see, we both have a valid place to come from in so far as "I deal with this very frequently and it hurts my friends".

    Sometimes it seems like one can't say "omg that's gross" without being beset by a bunch of people accusing them of heinous things.

    Man, to add on this you know what's worse? When the people getting accused are minors. I think minors have the most reason to be put off by lolicon, for example.

  3. Hmm, do I reply to any of the insults and indirect stuff directed at me that Shrimpy put or not? Hmm... how about no. I can distinguish reality from fiction (duh) and I didn't call people criminals. I do think however it is extremely iffy you have a lot of material on hand to instantly defend the worst aspects of anime (because clearly it being put on the industry-wide medium is to appeal to the traumatized fans who cope that way, clearly). I called big anitwt accounts lolicon sympathizers (shocker, they are and will defend it) and you called me a hypocrite for having an anime pfp. This is how it started. Don't talk to me anymore.

    Ain't that the truth. I can't say I'm great at perceiving this type of stuff. I would say I'm a rather ignorant guy about most things. But I try to be empathetic and improve where I can, at least.

    Yeah, it's very easy because it's not something we are taught to see or pick up on. I have made progress to start looking at what feminists and women say so I can pick up on and learn about it, and how it hides.

    For example the other day I was reading about trans women in sports, and I found that women sports are heavily regulated with sexist norms to begin with.
    0OzGJ18.png

    What the fuck. This should be taught in schools, the ways sexism is so pervasive throughout our society.

    Stuff like this is why women's sports always seems to be "lamer" to most people, and then it's easy mocking material. Disgusting. (See I do care about real life issues, I am not a keyboard warrior)

    Awesome. Thanks. Also, it's good you can appreciate your beard better.

    "Criminals who deserve to be bullied to suicide" is not how I'd personally describe them, no. I do feel it shouldn't be forbidden to be disgusted by stuff like that, though. Sometimes it seems like one can't say "omg that's gross" without being beset by a bunch of people accusing them of heinous things. Dare I say, the bullying kinda goes both ways. Not that it's right either way, mind. If you think something is wrong the right answer is to report it or argue in a civil manner, not start playing Keyboard Batman. But yeah.

    Lol as a matter of fact, often times on twitter I've been harassed by lolicons and incest-bros for saying I don't like those things or find them disgusting. I was suspended for (a correct reason) last time, but the people who target me were the same independent of what I do. They work together to harass people who don't conform to their weird ass fetishes. For instance, when I was suspended (again, correctly) it was by lolicons when I was criticizing incest.

    I am more block savvy nowadays though.

    Decided to alchemize some "switchel", I watched a video on the stuff yesterday. Water + vinegar (apple cider b/c that's probably what they had at the time) + maple syrup/molasses/honey/corn syrup + and ginger/nutmeg/cinnamon (your choice of sweetener and spice), often spiked with rum. Popular in the New England region and US Congress (...with a bowl of the alcoholic version sometimes served on the House/Senate floor🤨) during the late 1700s-1800s as a cool & refreshing mid-day beverage.

    Didn't exactly look drinkable when I made a glass 😐, and the taste 😬... not bad. Some vinegar odor holding the glass close to my nose and some vinegar burn as it went down the throat, but none of the vinegar taste. The flavor (no rum added b/c I don't drink) was unremarkable, though I think I noticed the nutmeg. Perhaps like iced tea (which many love, so I could see the historical popular appeal on a hot day laboring in the fields) as another bold sampler of the brew said, except I don't drink tea of any kind so I wouldn't really know.  Don't think I'd reach for another sip, but the recipe unlike a bazillion things I see online was really easy to make so I had the stupid urge to try it out.😅

    Damn, that actually sounds really freaking interesting! (I like your ways of using emoticons lmao). Old recipes sound fun, but I am a terrible cook at anything so I wouldn't try it I think haha.

    ...I used the word "alchemize" above solely as a forced way of sliding in this.:

    I'm honestly not sure what to play now with 13S done. Etrian Odyssey IV is old and very familiar, I enjoy it and I can make progress in my sleep, but it's a little boring (maybe because I've yet to do any linking with my link-oriented team b/c that's useful only for bosses/FOES and it wasn't available during the first fifth of the game). I should get back to TriStrat at last or perhaps RF5, but I don't know what I'm really feeling. (No, not XC3, not until next month at least I'm thinking.)

    Mana Khemia 1 burned me out on crafting stuff for a while, but I'd like to get my Project A Black Sheep Era Trip done this year, so why not MK2? I'm not eager to play it, but it is coming to the forefront of my mind.

    You should play Mortal Kombat 2, yes!
    /s

    Honestly I see you play a lot of interesting jrpg stuff. Keep us posted!

  4. You have a serious "censorship" complex, man. It's not that deep. And some things deserve to be criticized and bashed for.

    Also you can't tell me unironically a lot of this "taboo" media explores anything. It exists to satisfy something, and if it's to satisfy pedophilia, or sexism, or abuse then good god I will enact a Fahrenheit 451. There is no worth in preserving those.

    23 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said:

    Many actually use it as a way to cope themselves/deal with it.

    Heck, alot of those who write problematic stuff are victims themselves, as a way to cope with, deal with the situation and let it all out.

    I promise you the majority of people who suffer from such trauma find it does the exact opposite thing. 

    Especially when it's just a "joke".


    Also, you keep posting more "antis" vs "pro" garbage, omg this war is the dumbest thing ever. I do not literally believe everything ficticious can do something irl, but it sure has a strong correlation. If you find someone who likes feet hentai, is it not logical to assume they like feet irl? And guess what most of the time they do. Same thing with lolicon, as much as it may hurt to admit. Yes, perhaps they don't do it irl, thank. fucking. god. but it is still attraction to a child ugh. Also, on the lolicon topic especially: it's always adults trying to regulate what minors feel about it. Which is really gross.

    Lastly: I don't care about this "Shipping Morality War" (which you keep bringing up, again, severe brain rot of being hundreds of pages deep in this argument that doesn't deserve this much attention). Ship whatever you want, but I will judge you regardless if it's pedophilic, incestuous, or rape. (And god do I hate incest, it's been romanticized so much despite how gross it is). Me judging people for doing it is as much "free speech" or "freedom of expression" as the creation of such media. And if we want to engage in the morality argument, one side wins 100 times over.

    the sexism here

    This is because of like, a twitter thread some time back saying "Actually these female mangaka were the ones to draw big boob girls!" and now it's an anime talking point that women write more fucked up shit.

    Ugh, ever since I saw the light, sexism in all it's forms annoys me to no end. How do women live with this? My sympathies smh.

    All addicts are sympathizable. Addiction is never anyone’s fault, really. Does that make anything harmful they do as a result okay? No. But they’re not exactly operating at 100%. And not everyone acts the same way. In the same vein, being addicted to porn doesn’t necessarily mean you objectify anyone.

    Hmm, fair enough.


    I couldn't stop the arguing mind, but when Shrimp kept talking about the same topic, what was I gonna do just shut up?

    I am closing SF now for real. So a lot of posts go by that it is impossible for me to reply.

    Oh well, atleast time is saved i can play FE

    That said, yes, i want anime to stay weid and freaky.

    Weird and freaky is fine, I'm definitely a little weird, but you're probably misunderstanding what "freaky" really meant. Have fun playing FE! I'm going to be reading Metamorphosis right now.

    Eh there’s no such thing as being too much of a feminist. I do feel you’re painting all porn addicts with the same brush tho.

    Based first line.. I don't know what you mean on the second though? I mean, I guess some porn addicts are more "sympathizable" than others depending on their circumstances? Fair enough, if so.

    Source: you made it the fuck up.

    Almost all anime has some SA "joke", and also almost all anime fans laugh at it. Easy. If they don't laugh at it, they defend it when some "westerner" complains about it.

    >Ignores lolicon point
    >Ignores hentai addicts/adjacents point.

    Don't bother replying at all instead.

    Dunno, having an anime pfp while playing an anime game then shitting on anime fans is peak hyopcrisy

    My pfp is just a video-game character from a japanese media like bruh "All Japanese Media = Anime", ok. "Peak Hypocrisy" is to criticize a medium, one which I can and do enjoy. Couldn't be that I want anime to be better, must be because I'm a hypocrite. And you know what? I don't know, the moment I see more than 5% of anime fans not side-eye the sexism, SA, and pedophilia problem in anime maybe I will stop making jokes.

    9 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said:

    what???

    It definetly does, and the quality ratio is about the same.

    Not the same way anime does it. Things release more on their own. Like, yes they release throughout the year, but it's not like "We will release our shows on the same day. On this season, every year." like anime does. Marvel might, for instance, but they don't coordinate with everyone else like anime might.

    Quality ratio being about the same is true, but also anime fans usually try to gas up their medium as if it's some completely better thing than "Western media"

    Essentially my issue is this: The entire west vs east debate is ridiculously dumb, and I always see anime fans be the ones trying to pretend they're better because they watch anime.

    (Also read on, Shrimpy, I bring back to this point further down and declare a truce)

    You're right, but the objectifying shit is nauseating. Idk, maybe I'm too much of a feminist, but I can't stand it. I'm not even a puritan or anything, I just think people oughta shut up sometimes about being horny.

    10 minutes ago, Sooks said:

    Tbf with the rise of streaming services many shows that were designed to complete their story over a season get brought back for another season and then another and another and you can see the very thin amount of plot being pulled out of nowhere getting worse and worse.

    Reading fucking up shit and/or liking to read up about it =/= we approve of it irl.

    Man you are literally making the "Can you distinguish from reality????" argument. I am done. Yes I can distinguish from reality. Doesn't make it any less disgusting?

    I honestly glanced over your images because idk, I'm not an "anti" like these two groups in the anime medium get caught up (between the "pro" and "anti" or whatever, they are both idiot camps stuck too deep in their internet well of irony that nothing makes sense). What I'm saying is, I am not caught up in the petty little internet fight because I do not care to investigate it. I am looking at it as an outsider. It is weird and freaky. There is no defense.

    I still think it is disgusting. I still think the SA jokes are incredibly disgusting, problematic, and don't add anything of value. What is there to ""consume"" responsibly?




    Alright. That will legitimately be the end of this. I don't like these arguments. Especially when you'll start using "argument memes" from your phone folder to strawman me.

    You are in a FE forum

    Yes, but I do not trust most anime fans, despite being one myself, until proven otherwise. Why? Because a lot of them are SA apologists, lolicons, and hentai addicts or adjacents ("man of culture" comes to mind). Also FE is definitely japanese media, but it doesn't literally make it anime, though nowadays it is ;( 

    Like what a dumb argument, actually, I am in a FE forum not an anime forum. There's overlap but it doesn't mean I have to take the whole thing completely.

    1 minute ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said:

    Yet there're still quality shows every season

    Yeah like one or two.

    Still the fact that stuff is like, meant to be pumped out every "season" is still a big issue. Western media doesn't do this, and it works better in my opinion. Anime is just so melo-dramatic half the time that people think the shows are made better because they have "plot" or something (and usually it sucks but get an anime girl to scream "daisuki dattara daijoubou omedeto" at the MC and people will call it peak fiction, also add not understanding the language so everything sounds cooler and less ridiculous than it also is. I am half kidding, I love many animes.) 

    Also a lot of stuff is overhyped as hell. Oshi no MID for instance omgzzzz. And that's like the "Great thing super omg everyone watch this" from this season.

    Unrelated but jesus, fe6 chapter 7 on hard mode is brutal. Like on normal mode it’s fairly difficult but hard mode, everything can kill you and the recruits and they just swarm you.

    Yeah, it's tough. I've always done the recruit Zealot and Treck on turn 2 trick. I watched part of the Mekkah video gnip posted, I feel like honestly some of it was very basic, but I guess it's like a guide for the majority of people. In one run I had a cracked Wolt (though Lugh still works) so I placed him on a forest in range of one javelin cavalier, luring that one guy made the next turn economies much easier, so I reccomend you do it too. The left side is way harder, the wyvern will go to you if you are within two turns' range, so I say to not push as hard.

    The problem is that I got bored of the combat. It got repetitive and mindlessly easy very fast, and the story wasn't godly enough to keep my attention after I started autopiloting through the fights.

    Wait really? The combat is super good though! You have all the different styles you can switch really quickly between and then buff yourself up with items (like being drunk making your heat shoot up). It gets better the more stuff you unlock, including after the business side-quest where you get a really powerful style. There's also super powerful moves to get from Komaki (I think that was his name) too.

    The random encounters are whatever honestly, but the boss fights are really fun.

    Also, the story ramps up the more and more you play it. It really depends on when you left it off. You get to play as Majima, and he's infinitely more fun to play as, in my opinion.

    Oh, no reason to be worried about that. There's four separate save file slots, and the game keeps a save of every single day in every single slot. You can go back and forth with extreme liberty.

    Oh that's wonderful... now I will be save scumming like the weasel I am 😅. No but for real, I will try to play the game without any sweat-lording, just actually playing and experiencing it. Whenever I set off time for it though, right now I want to use this weekend to read a load of literature (both scientific and fictional, but not sci-fi lol)

    It's just that between his ridiculous robes and his stupid pose, it completely ruins any badass points to be won from the scars of war.

    They definitely improved him in the remake. He looks a lot more badass there, with the cane and all. But mostly because his new robe is a lot less dumb.

    The robe honestly doesn't phaze me at all in BW. To me it looks like he played the full part of a Cult Leader, but while the others may genuinely believe in his cause and the dumb wear, he's deceiving them all. It's a tiny element that reinforces his character, it's why I like it.

    One good thing about Yakuza 0 is it's probably the best game in the series, barring some super later ones without Kiryu. So if you play it and then don't play the rest of the series, there isn't much pressure (not that I reccomend it because they're also great games, but just saying.

    Apparently the inspector's actor passed away. R.I.P.

    It was a really good little movie. Kind of inaccurate to the game, because there isn't a player alive that did not allow Eliza through, but still. Well done.

    RIP.

    Well, now I know about Eliza lol. Guess I've been... spoiled.

    Honestly I'm kind of afraid to play the game, if it's got like a one save file thing I'll fuck up and then won't want to visit my family again, or will erase the save file haha... and if it doesn't let me do that because of the game experience 😅😨 ... well I got to try it sometime, I just have fifty things I want to do this weekend.

    No, it's the far-right party. Third biggest force in the country too, had been on the rise for a while, until it plummeted something fierce in this latest election. To my great relief.

    Oh let's a fucking go. Die, far-right.

    I'm not saying he isn't, I'm just saying he looks ridiculous. I mean, look at him.

    He's amazing.

    Yeah he looks so fucking dumb but I love it too. I mean, unlike the other seven sages goofballs, he actually has like, a lost arm (I think) and is missing his eye, so it makes you think he's actually threatening and been through shit despite the ridiculous wear.

    In BW2 (which I haven't played) his rags are also cool.

    This is hardly called for. The only reason I could have to invade countries is to force the population to play Berwick Saga. Or destroy them, in Japan's case.

    But I promise it was only a swim! Japan destroyed, epically.

    Ruben you probably dropped the Atomic Bomb ngl, and reincarnated as yourself rn.


    Papers, Please locked and loaded! Glory to Arstotzka! If my pronunciation is wrong, idgaf!

    Oh and Yakuza 0 for 2 dollars is awesome!

    Everyone here should, but you especially because you already know it rocks. And it's less than two bucks! It costs a coffee to get this game.

    Two bucks! Getting it rn. I may never play it, but who cares it's good.

    With the fall of Vox, I wouldn't count on it. Truly a shame if there ever was one. Might have to settle for passport checker in a republic. Or, well, y'know, parlamentary monarchy. Sheesh.

    Vox is the far-right news channel right?

    Ironic how in the US, at least as far I know, there's this youtube channel (or maybe actual news channel idk) called "Vox" that is fairly left-leaning.

    Surprisingly, I've heard Ghetsis's theme before. It does kinda sound like that, only with less of a "ridiculous funnyman in oversized robes with supervillain theme" vibe and more of a "War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength." vibe.

    Yeah, but I mean, Ghetsis is actually goated chill on the diss!

    I'd only worry if his inner 1829 starts showing. Let's invite him to Tampico should that happen...

    Lmao, hey Ruben you get to go with two awesome dudes to the beach! We will have a swimming race and nothing bad will happen to you!

    It's a very lovable game indeed. It also has the best theme song ever composed for a videogame. Probably.

    That's okay, there's a lot of endings - three main endings and a plethora of fail states to see, not to mention all the little events along the way. At under two bucks, it's basically a gift.

    That, and I know I'm the weird one here, because everyone's always making a big deal of how this game makes "art of boredom" or some shit like that. Meanwhile I find it really fucking fun, I always did. It's a blast combing those papers for mistakes as fast as possible while trying to avoid that dreaded printing noise. I developed a whole routine for it and it's so easy to get into the flow and just enjoy some observation puzzles. Heck, I hadn't played it for years until now, when I remembered about it due to the anniversary. After a little refresher on the cities I just got right back into it. Giving me all sorts of good memories of little high schooler me playing this on my dad's bad computer.

    ...The only problem is that I'm so fucking good at the game that I never got to experience the conundrums that arise from being broke lol. Not saying this to brag, I really do wish I could've been in that situation everyone else found themselves in where you have to pick between buying medicine to save your son, paying the heat rent to keep the rest healthy or food to keep them from starving. Meanwhile I have a save file on the last day with 835 credits.

    Yeah this game ROCKSSS

    ok srry I have nothing to add, but I should get it.

    Anyways, you are a natural born fascist regime passport checker! You should look to this career... especially if Spain goes above and beyond and has stricter laws on immigrants in the future! /j

    Also damn this theme does kick ass, reminds me a bit of Ghetsis's theme in Pokemon and also N's castle.

    You might not like it, but this is what fun looks like.

    Less than two bucks on Steam for the next 20 hours. One of my favorite games ever, right there. And it's about being an underpaid bureaucrat in a fascist regime. You won't find a game like this, anywhere, ever. And if you do it's copying this one.

    Plus, for the anime fans in the thread, you occasionally get gratuitous nudity! Everyone in the game is hideous, but hey, it's there.

    I know of this game. I love it. I have also never played it. I probably should get it, especially if it's under two bucks.

    I watched a full playthrough before, fwiw.
