  • [Discussion] Has anyone seen The 100 Girlfriends?

    Jump

  • I enjoyed the first season, even as someone with very low tolerance for ecchi and harems. I decided to nope out on the second season though when I learned our boy's harem has some creepy age gaps and incest in it. I figured I'd just let myself imagine the rest of the show instead of continuing until it's too uncomfortable to watch. Plus, in my imaginary version, Friend A can come back and make the title slightly inaccurate.

  • [Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and what's your favourite Soulslike genre mash-up?

    Jump

  • Does Clair Obscur count as a souls-like mash-up? Because hoo boy has it been a lot of fun. I've been describing it to people as the midpoint between dark souls and paper mario

  • it's true

    Jump

  • I have no knowledge on the topic so I can't answer the first couple questions.

    However, I will say its a useful correction to say there are ongoing efforts to maintain historical practices if it makes the correctee happy to hear that (as is the case in the meme). It's also useful to remember that indigenous peoples still exist and aren't just historical (something a lot of US folks aren't taught in school)

  • it's true

    Jump

  • I believe it's the verb tenses. Instead of it being a historical fact, it's an ongoing practice of an ongoing group of people

  • I feel like a girl masquerading as a guy, can someone affirm me please?

    Jump

  • If it makes you feel any better, I am very confident in my guess that there are cis men your dad and grandpa would call "not real men" either.

    Ultimately, if being a boy makes you feel more like "yourself", that's enough. Sorry you're dealing with unaccepting family.

  • DAN DA DAN Season 3 premieres in 2027. Studio Science SARU returns to animate.

  • I've heard that part of it is a spoiler and part of it is a pun that's impossible to translate

  • it's that time

  • Best time of year. I love my little octopus skeleton 🐙 💀 💕

  • Canada issues warning for citizens with gender-neutral passports travelling to U.S.

    Jump

  • Imo,

    It makes sense for a hospital birth record (not a government document) to note "observed sex at birth", alongside other measurements like length and weight, since it's a medical record and gives then a moderately good first guess about internal organs.

    It makes sense for drivers license and passport to have "gender expression" alongside hair and eye color, height, weight and if you wear glasses. Everything in that section is self-reported and helps make sure you're the person on the document, but they're all things that can be situationally different or go out of date. With how dimorphic our fashion is culturally, gender expression can be pretty identifying, similar to the other qualities.

    Every other government document has no business recording sex or gender in any capacity. Neither of them is the government's business.

  • Nice argument, now fetch me some cocaine.

    Jump

  • Gender dysphoria is not the same as being trans. Not all trans people have gender dysphoria and plenty of cis people do. Cis men who do steroids and cis women who get boob jobs typically do so to ease some level of gender dysphoria they feel. The only reason trans people get diagnosed and cis people don't is the continuing view of transness as itself a disorder.

  • Best New Anime to Watch (Summer Season 2025) - IGN

    Jump

  • It might be a countable/uncountable noun thing, lol. Like, I wouldn't consider Dan Da Dan s2 to be "a new show" but i would consider it to be "some new animation", if that makes sense. "Anime" can be used in either sense and since it doesn't change when pluralized it can be hard to tell which someone means. At the same time, I stand by what I said that "[x show] is returning and it's still very good" and "[y show] is new and it's very good" are statements with fairly different target audiences.

  • Spy x Family Season 3 debuts first teaser trailer ahead of October 2025 release

    Jump

  • Hype!!

  • Best New Anime to Watch (Summer Season 2025) - IGN

    Jump

  • IMO it's a little weird to fill a "best new anime" list almost half with returning anime. Like, they're not wrong picks, but people are either already planning to watch them or they're not caught up.

  • Not yet, but a plan is in motion. (unclear if Nell will survive to see it happen, though. I think yes, but the current trajectory is no.)

  • Japanese political party wants video games and anime to be put under state authority to make sure they’re “wholesome,” and people are angry

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure the people complaining about child sexualization in anime are not the same people supporting child beauty pageants and child marriage........

    Jump

  • If it were a series of strategies to attempt to reduce the number of pedo/incest anime (not just outlawing them, but influencing the market with regulation of advertising and/or broadcast content), I might be tentatively on board, but something tells me it's going to be more about censoring blood and gore, queerness, and maybe even themes of fighting against authority, depending on how ambitious they get.

  • I get really salty when people point at patterns in anime that are sort of objectively bad and claim that they're fine because that's "just Japanese culture". Like, I'm really tired of being told I'm overreacting when I say maybe anime shouldn't glamorize pedo shit or make characters that are racist or homophobic stereotypes. Save "it's just Japanese culture" for when I'm complaining about the cute mascot character's annoying verbal tic, lol.

    Also, this isn't specifically an anime thing, nor is it specifically a western thing, but I get a little frustrated with "it's just fiction". Fiction is constructed out of the worldview of the creator(s) and will always contain at least some of their ways of thinking. All art contains some meaning to it, and teasing apart exactly what a piece of art is trying to say is typically both useful and fulfilling.

  • There's an episode of Eminence in Shadow where one of the girls has a little plushie of Shadow-sama and I was APPALLED to learn that I could not buy such a thing. Every bit of merch for that show seems to be of the girls and all i want is my own little Shadow-sama!
