people in dashcam videos are like "i had no time to break" and they're 500 ft from a yellow light in a high traffic area with clear visibility and made zero attempt to stop
@ssmfred@TheDarkEnjoyer The real girlfriend isn’t even leaving him, so the only person who was hurt by this isn’t even as mad as the people farming this for clout
So, let me get this straight..
>Sykkuno's girlfriend finds out her partner of 5 years is a cheater
>devastated, but decides to handle it privately and work through the relationship behind the scenes
>enters Bao, Mal, and Mujin
>Bao knew about the infidelity for months
>instead of being a normal human and telling the victim directly, vague-tweet about "predators" to farm engagement and "omg tea?" replies
>act as the behind-the-scenes gossip ringleader to validate your own moral superiority
>Mal aggressively slides into a bigger creator's DMs
>find out he's a liar and a cheater
>instead of just blocking him and moving on, write a 40-page Google Doc thesis
>try to weaponize your "smaller creator" status to frame standard scummy cheating as some grand exploitative power dynamic
>Mujin sees a private relationship scandal
>smell the sweet, sweet scent of ad revenue and "The Sykkuno Files" clicks
>speedrun a highly-edited hit piece video throwing around "predator" labels to appease the algorithm
>don't even bother giving the ACTUAL victim a heads-up or asking for her consent
>force her trauma onto the public stage, completely removing her agency
>unfollow the accusers right after the drop to pretend you're an "objective journalist" and not a drama farmer
>read the girlfriend's actual statement
>she’s literally terrified, her reality is shattered, and her nightmare was "put on full display and used for profit"
>she explicitly says she wasn't given a choice or even checked on by the "saviors" involved
>these three tried to play the white-knight heroes protecting the community
>all they did was nuke an innocent woman's mental health for a week of relevance and community validation
Mujin, for the love of god, take down the damn video if you actually care about the real victim in this story...
Still thinking about how Calli sang Gura’s (unreleased) original song during their 4th anniversary.
I hope they never let this song be forgotten 🩷🩵 #calliolive
Anime is by Japanese people, for Japanese people. Non-Japanese people who want to watch it need to keep that in mind.
The stories are written with Japanese sensibilities in mind. Honorifics are used in Japanese to explain where people are in a hierarchy.
San: Respectfully referring to people equal or above you
Kun: Friendly way to refer to males equal or below you
The interaction below is basically expressing, "You don't need to be so formal with me." It is not expressing, "Call me whatever ridiculous nickname you feel is appropriate."
Localizers are vandals.
