Sounds like a really quick way to an echo chamber. That’s not healthy. Also part of why reddit went to shit. There’s nothing wrong with contrasting opinions.

Absolutely agree. There is a lot of hand waving and justification going on in the comments.

I don’t think kids as characters or even adults regressed into children is the problem so much for me, as the sexualization of them. And there is a definite issue with that across anime. “Fan Service” is a very real and often utilized trope. You can have all the cultural things people mentioned in an anime without panty shots and adults wanting intimacy with children.

Unfortunately since the pedo apologists defend the bad parts of this as if it’s just a “culture” difference, it’s hard to see any use of child anime characters for something like an avatar as anything but gross predilection.

They didn’t defend american TV shows sexualizing teens, why even bring that in to the conversation like they are? Both are wrong. No one said one is ok and the other not…pedo is pedo is pedo.

It’s the same for me…usually. Lol Those few moments really put me in my place for a bit.

It’s weird and sad to see prominent figures of my formative youth passing. Time moves ever onward.

Long boss fights where you have to manage very specific combinations. Games like Dark Souls become impossible.

In fact anything where I have to time things consistently and frequently gets me fucked up.

“bUt tHeRe’S lAwS aGaInSt iT!”

I suppose it needs to be said so people known it’d be breaking the law. But that cry isn’t stopping them from doing literally anything that they’ve been doing.

Scumbag says scumbag things. News at 11.

Oh so your point is that when the government is shit that means everyone in the country is too. Well, every government is varying levels of shit, so nuke the planet and get rid of all humanity. Done and done. No worries, right? Would certainly make the planet better on the whole in the end.

Or maybe just the people running the community.

Write it down and it fades to the background.

Ah, right. All a bunch of fascists and bigots anyways, every man, woman, and child. Kill them all right? They aren’t human or anything. 🙄

Why would you encourage that if you think I’m a fascist bigot.

Whatever you have to tell yourself.

Do tell how you being condescending and hateful makes the world better.

Your earlier opinion is factually false. You continue to assert it is true. That’s objectively ignorant.

I’m going to assume it is willful ignorance because I’d like to think someone in an often maligned group, such as LGBTQ+ would know what it’s like to be wrongfully lumped into a group you don’t belong to, with attributes and values you do not carry.

You lumping every American as the same is no better than what racists do, what bigots do, what ICE does, what Zionists push, or what magats spew. If that’s truly what you are and how you think, then you are being exactly what you accuse all Americans of being.

Doesn’t change that what you are saying is ignorant.

Wow, that’s pretty fucking ignorant.

I’m curious how they got to this conclusion. Our dog, as an example, wakes my wife up frequently.

They are lying in hopes of keeping the centrist vote leaning Republican. Once they secure that it’s back to business as usual. If they actually did anything with any real effect before they started flapping their gums I might think this was a little more like regret. But they haven’t and it’s not.
