I hate making posts like this, but my bf and I have pull off a cross country move within the next 6 days & are in panic mode! If you see this & can help in any way, likes/rts/paypal/cashapp etc, it would be infinitely appreciated! My dms are open & I have lots of content too! 💕

@wormtrice @sporkkles Without spoiling anything, it has at least one scene that drives the comphet Kurara opinion lol

@sporkkles Hmm this does sound interesting, maybe a little bit of slop will be worth it for my girl Kurara….

Is there an option to not get with anyone in the romance route or is Takumi forced into a relationship by default? I’m trying to decide if I want to play it next or not

@KaangyW @dedosmarcsello Do whatever you like. Feel however you like. But consider that you're speaking to other human beings with their own lived experiences and connections before claiming moral superiority over your opinions on fictional media. Sorry, but it's incredibly stupid.

@KaangyW @dedosmarcsello Screeching about questionable, fictional media is not a productive endeavor. It does not genuinely help or protect children, it's a cheap way to soapbox moralism online while satisfying some sort of combative social need to talk down to people.

@KaangyW @dedosmarcsello -world effects, I don't really know what you're doing here. Continue lazily making up a person who's not a part of this conversation to make your argument sound more convincing, I guess. I don't see the point of continuing.

@KaangyW @dedosmarcsello If you want to be taken seriously at this point of the conversation, though, making up things that neither of us have said or implied and vaguely calling me "you people" after I've clearly explained my criticism towards different aspects of media and their real (or lack of)-

@KaangyW @dedosmarcsello @togataonline Pearl clutching over drawings is indeed a puritanical stance, yeah. This isn't really an uncommon position for people across the political spectrum to have, so I'm unsure of the feigned shock to this information. We obviously disagree.

@NarkosTrap @dedosmarcsello @togataonline they aren't creating them sure, they are just portraying them as funny shi, as just humor, le heckin wholesome kawaii minor showing her underwear is not wanting kids to be sexualized in media "puritanical"? is the point we are at?

@KaangyW @dedosmarcsello @togataonline Good talk, man. The comic content you consume is genuinely worse, but I'd bet 20 bucks I could scour your account and find little to no critical inspection of that. Always fun when someone's replies in a thread just cycle back to repeating what they started with verbatim.

@NarkosTrap @dedosmarcsello @togataonline it's not a culture, it's just that japan media should be criticised as much as any other, and not excused by "uh well it's japan, you are being a tourist"

@realmishaswife Saying this about South Korea of all places. This guy is a stupid piece of shit just trying to get a rise out of people.

“i’m not sexist BUT IT’S THOSE DAMN WOMEN’S FAULT” holy shit please get off my page (yes i blocked)

@spofiee Smaller mmo communities are very commonly worse, because with lower player counts comes more cliqueish behavior that's harder to get away from. XIV has so many people you get awful to great and everything in between, and you can move around socially.

I keep asking folks to quantify in some way why the “ffxiv community is the worst in the space,” and I haven’t received any responses. I’m not trying to be facetious and genuinely want to examine why people regurgitate that rhetoric with 0 data constantly.

@KaangyW @dedosmarcsello @togataonline I think choosing worthwhile battles is more important than taking stances that are politically adjacent with puritanical conservatives who are molesting their children behind closed doors. The panty shots aren't creating abuse scenarios.

@NarkosTrap @dedosmarcsello @togataonline a concept doesn't justify its existance just by existing I don't think you should get away with showing off kids in panties idk japan has a clear problem of sexualizing minors, so of course they are going to do it in fiction too

@KaangyW @dedosmarcsello @togataonline Clearly, but I'm still going to call it stupid when it's just encouraging the same, ignorant approach towards confronting actual issues in media and the treatment of real children. It's a dumb distraction and the culture of calling things diddy blud media is dogshit.

@NarkosTrap @dedosmarcsello @togataonline I don't think the TikTok was made to be a constructive point itself, just a meme about Japanese tendencies in media

@KaangyW @dedosmarcsello @togataonline -western YA media (even YA books get pretty racy) it's not necessarily the end of the world, it's just an easy target to take shots at while being socially-acceptably xenophobic.

@KaangyW @dedosmarcsello @togataonline -fixating on anime panty shots. A lot media aimed towards teens in various countries plays with risqué themes because teens are attracted to edgy and sexual themes and are going to be consuming content that includes these things regardless, so when it's toned down in shonen or-

@KaangyW @dedosmarcsello @togataonline I quite literally have never heard this used as negative descriptor for American films. Even if someone may say it here and there, this isn't comparable to how popularized it is to do exactly what the lady in the OP is doing. I don't think it's constructive.

@NarkosTrap @dedosmarcsello @togataonline a movie made in america can be just normal and not be propagandistic for example but you could say some movies are "too american" based on the industry's tendency of movies in that country

@KaangyW @dedosmarcsello @togataonline -resorting to quasi-xenophobic digs about how a piece of media is just so "Japanese" as a negative descriptor, be my guest. My criticism isn't aimed at you if that's actually what your intention is.

@KaangyW @dedosmarcsello @togataonline -take potshots at Japanese animation and video games for ecchi themes while - as I said - being quite ignorant towards objectively more harmful things than risqué animation in media aimed at teens and adults. If you genuinely want to dissect things across the board, without-
