this anime’s refusal to engage with the technicalities of its own premise is SO inspiring. we don’t have time to focus on whatever plot hole physics we used to get here, we have an undead pop band to run
message to cis allies: buying your trans friend lunch will do much more good for the trans community than debating transphobes who will not change their minds publicaly on social media and making all your trans followers see how much people hate them over and over again
Cannot believe I am seeing people getting their tits bent out of joint about a man taking his daughter into a women's room. That shit was like, completely normal when I was a kid. We really have taken a flying leap backwards as a society into the Cootie Zone
Corn dogs are named for their traditional meat, the unicorn. As unicorns are now extinct, they can only be referred to properly as ‘Corn Dogs and not “Unicorn Dogs” as they were prior to 2009.
Too many people are forgetting these things too quickly:
-SESTA/FOSTA passed. Despite the many, many warnings of sex workers.
-A bunch of apps started their censorship policies because Apple directly threatened their revenue if they didn't promise to cut down on the amount of porn on their sites
-MasterCard and VISA tried to outright stop processing OnlyFans work SPECIFICALLY because of the association with sex work, and no other feasible financial reason.
There is not a sudden regressive movement among individual people. Free The Nipple didn't fade into obscurity because people didn't care. It was stopped. By policies. By laws. By arrests. By censorship. These things have been purposefully put in place by companies and politicians. They saw the work we were trying to do wrt bodily autonomy, sexual liberation, and sexual freedom, and they forcibly put a stop to it.
The 'I got to travel to another world and got an existential crisis / trust issues' duo.

but that doesn't stop me from loving to think in terms of symbolism
we have a manga, considered a shonen, published in JUMP, whose graphic identity is gory and whose themes are deep and traumatic, all in an offbeat form.
who could have predicted that Fujimoto would take on the case of teenage girls?
YES Chainsaw Man, this slightly bizarre, extremely popular and sometimes divisive manga is now aimed particularly at teenage girls.
I mean, what really resonates with me is the fact that at last a work of art, in all its horror and violence, is tackling the hell that teenage girls can be.
Fujimoto really said
and i love him for that
I want them to kiss and fall in love, is that even troublesome to ask for? (Forgot to mention that I'm going to make a Sanji pov based out of this if I can🤷♀️)
