i saw the tv glow live rn

whoops, i had it on there the first couple times i tried posting. must have left it out on accident the try that actually worked

watch uc gundam

or read the explanation i wrote in my other post

in zeta gundam char and amuro are drinking together and amuro makes a joke about how char needs to become a human sacrifice like his father to achieve their goals of freeing humanity from earth’s gravity (which is, to oversimplify, a metaphor for bringing about mass class consciousness and breaking the imperialist grip the earth has on its colonies in space)

in the bottom three panels, char looks at his drink, then looks determined, then the last panel is char in the film char’s counterattack, where he has decided to fully become a human sacrifice to achieve this, and amuro is now fighting against him. implicitly char is reminiscing about the previous conversation as he drinks alone this time

i have to ask again, you think the problem people have with it is that it says sexual violence is bad? you think that’s why people dislike it?

the sexual violence in sao is also supposed to be bad! they kill the guy who does it! that doesn’t excuse the framing, it’s still a bad show that handles its sexual assault poorly, but framing sexual violence for titillation is so often combined with setting up a villain and showing just how evil he is. it shows up all the fuckign time, including in series i otherwise love. goblin slayer is worse than most in that it spends more time on it and it’s way more explicit than it usually is, and it’s the first impression the show gives you

wait you think people dislike goblin slayer BECAUSE it shows sexual violence as bad? you think the people who dislike goblin slayer are sitting around going “oh if only there were more wacky sexual harassment i might like this show”?

the problem with goblin slayer is that it shows the sexual violence in a way where it clearly expects the audience to be jacking off and there is no amount of arcs where characters process trauma that will undo that. your standard anime shittiness simply does not compare

it’s fantastic, it’s so nice seeing adult women spending pleasant time together in a grounded way

you’ll notice i didn’t include dragon ball on the list of anime that didn’t have sex pest stuff or fascism! and again, there’s a big difference between dragon ball and goblin slayer

you’re basically saying “all 80s movies love sexual assault, so it’s fine that i like revenge of the nerds,” and when i respond with a list of 80s movies that don’t have any sexual assault or harrassment in them you say “well have you seen how han treats leia in star wars?” those are two very different things! both are bad, but they are at very different levels of it

re: hormones. anecdotally i know a bunch of trans women whose dicks still work. they still get hard, they still orgasm, and they still produce cum. similarly, i know trans women who didn’t lose any muscle while on e. you’d need to work out a bunch and it takes effort, but it’s very possible

ultimately it is your choice, but neither of those two factors are as insurmountable as you seem to think

here’s some great anime that neither enjoy sexual violence nor fascism. there’s plenty more out there, sex pest stuff is hardly “every classic anime”. some of these may have some in it but they certainly aren’t enjoying it

• revolutionary girl utena
• serial experiments lain
• turn a gundam
• millennium actress
• showa genroku rakugo shinju
• inu-oh
• madoka magica
• keep your hands off eizouken
• liz and the blue bird

also it’s real fucking gross to say “a poor taste joke is exactly the same as on screen sexual assault with deeply fash vibes” there’s a big difference between urusei yatsura and goblin slayer

pyramid inu mostly does classic mecha anime (especially tomino’s gundam) but has room in their heart for other things, including some live action stuff

(pronouns not listed but the vibes make me lean gender neutral to be safe)

watch better anime

well by that point you’ve seen enough to know it’s mostly a scathing satire of car dependent infrastructure

i mean revolutionizing the world is pretty self explanatory.

glad you liked it! it is remarkably pleasant reading about adults having nice times together and growing closer

i hadn’t seen the 4th volume was out, i need to chase that down!

i have not played omori but i’m GUESSING based on vibes that it’s like a 1 or a 2? extremely not scary scary, there’s one scene that’s imo mildly scary but other than that there’s basically nothing i would describe as scary in the way a scary movie is scary

i really think you’d be ok

he’s great in this one too

it’s a horror movie in that it’s about horrifying situations, but it isn’t really scary at any point beyond an existential dread. mostly just deeply sad and distressing but never in a way that has any adrenaline involved. it’s fantastic, instantly an all time fave

misread this as daicon instead of daitarn and was like “yeah no shit, she has a lightsaber duel with darth vader and yoda does rakugo. that’s what daicon is, ready player one for the 80s otaku compressed into 4 minutes so you get all the fun leo point moments and cool animation but none of the bullshit”

this is very funny
