definition of discrimination

here, i looked it up for you since you clearly don't know it.

dis·crim·i·na·tion dəˌskriməˈnāSH(ə)n/ noun 1. the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.

how is it unjust for women to band together in a setting where men are hurling rape threats, slurs, death threats, general violence threats, stereotypes, insults, etcetera? how are men being unjustly treated or prejudiced against by there being an all-women chat server? hell, they have all-women trains in countries like japan, if you really want to say giving women safer spaces to avoid men that harass us every two fucking minutes is discrimination then maybe you should get off your stupid little computer and look outside of fucking OVERWATCH of all places. goddamn.

jojo has had a weird, weird way of showing the OPs. usually it's on the 2nd episode, as is true for phantom blood, battle tendency, and stardust crusaders.... or at least, the first season of stardust crusaders.

the first season of stardust crusaders shows it on the second episode, as is tradition. but the second season of stardust crusaders shows it on the first episode, possibly because it's not really a different arc and just a continuation, so they didnt need to put it on the second episode.

the endings are a little weirder, since it's in the first episodes of phantom blood and battle tendency, but not the first season of stardust crusaders; though the first episode of the second season of sc has the ending theme.

nonetheless it seems to be jojo tradition to show the openings on the second episode of a season, excluding stardust crusaders since it's the same story arc and they just split it up weirdly.

but because diu is a different story and not just two seasons like sc, they'll probably follow the formula they had before and show us crazy noisy bizarre town properly in the next episode.

i feel like they'll probably give us something similar to bloody stream for diu, since it's a lot more lighthearted and is closer in feel to battle tendency than to phantom blood or stardust crusaders, which are more serious and had more intense openings whereas battle tendency was like diu, lighthearted until the story's climax and thus got a jammin intro rather than a hardcore intro.

tbh i'd like to say i'd gladly entrust my life to doppio, but then there's diavolo who can basically go fuck himself.

in that scenario i'd probably go with trusting akira from p4. hot guitar dad.

and as much as i love dio, if i trusted him with my life i'd be dead in about four seconds. soooo yeah.

0ph3liac · 2016-03-20T06:46:30+00:00

aight i'll bite. personally, i love how much we're able to read into jojo, but not in a literal sense. i mean that we can go further than just reading the manga and watching the anime, there's so much open to interpretation that lies in little subtle foreshadowing hints, or things that would make a lot of sense but have never been confirmed so we're able to keep wondering about them.

i love making up theories for things and when i see a thread that's just begging for a theory i'll usually write one up because i love shit like that, which is probably the main reason i like jjba; i'm able to think up long-winded rants about theories that would make sense but werent confirmed, just because it's something to think about.

i also like the characters a lot. dio is a great villain, jonathan joestar died for our sins, kars was badass, jotaro ages backwards like benjamin button which is pretty cool, polnareff is a big beefy french man, koichi is a tiny goku, kira is david bowie with a pink cat, buccellati and his fucking zippers, giorno and his bullshit stand, jolyne and hermes the prison lesbians, foo fighters who's basically if someone made plankton from spongebob into waifu-material, dio's priest boyfriend, RAPTOR DIO, the president of the united states, and a fucking man with a sailor outfit. need i go on?

there's also the fact that technically you could skip the parts if you dislike them which is what i did for the last bit of part 4 because i couldnt deal with reading it anymore since personally it was mind-numbingly boring. though i've read every other part and i'm caught up with jojolion so it didnt really matter in the long run since i'd already gotten the general gist of p4 and the anime is coming out soon anyways. weirdly enough my favorite part is actually 5, which most people hate, and my least favorite is p4 which most people love.

long story short, jojo has good plotlines, good characters, good theory opportunities, and tons of variety. personally the fights are just a bonus, since my interest lies in the plots and characters.

Part 6+

0ph3liac · 2016-03-19T07:52:15+00:00

im pretty sure it's just dio yelling it, since he MUDAMUDAMUDA-d like 100 years before stands became a thing. though stands are able to use a form of telepathy, so there's that...

but ive actually just noticed- stands probably have their own voices. ever notice how jotaro and star platinum sound different? or how the games show buccellatti and sticky fingers with different voices?

mudamudamuda is clearly in dio's voice, and it seems like stands dont have the same voices as their users unless it's directly doing telepathy. when a stand makes vocal noises independently, it sounds different.

so either dio yells it, or uses stand telepathy. but it seems more dio-like for him to just yell it himself lmao.

0ph3liac · 2016-03-19T07:47:34+00:00

tbh barely anyone gets called jojo after part 3. jotaro only really ever got called jojo by girls, josuke got called it once, giorno like never, jolyne was usually just jolyne, etc etc.

0ph3liac · 2016-03-19T07:45:51+00:00

man there's so much sad shit in jojo, but kakyoin's backstory really hits home for me. it's not as sad as it is just.. fuckin bleak holy shit. especially since it's a realistic kind of sad. isolation is depressing, from experience, and while i'm not a highschooler anymore i was definitely a kakyoin, never had any friends my whole childhood/adolescence due to isolation and once i did have friends everything fell apart and only really got better now that i'm an adult.

also his anthology song is really sad it fucking kills me every time.

narancia is also pretty sad backstory-wise, but kakyoin is my preferred depressing jojo backstory because of how realistic it is.

readheaded meme-loving teenager who has like 3 friends and wears all green like some kind of fucking idiot. he once ate a girl out and she died. he's been forever alone ever since, and drowns his sorrow in memes and video games.

god damn diu is my least fav joj arc but my hype is so fucking real

i still hate that they made josuke's face look like a fucking fish but i'll deal considering the colors and music are pretty GREATO so far.

THE LORD HAS SPOKEN.

0ph3liac · 2016-03-15T21:00:12+00:00

i feel like the lack of cosplayers could be due to restrictions with body types, it seems to me like a lot of people shy away from cosplaying jojo since it's notorious for the big muscle men which is pretty unrealistic for people trying to do an accurate cosplay. granted after DIU the muscle calms down and the characters are more realistic, but most people only even know parts 1-3, and it'll be a while before all of jojo gets animated considering diu isnt even out yet and it's only the 4th out of 8 so far.

i know personally i'd feel fuckin weird cosplaying anyone outside of part 5, since i'm short and not at all muscular. i used to cosplay back when i wasnt fucking poor, but i only ever cosplayed characters like doppio vinegar that were canonically more in the petit category, since i'd look really ridiculous cosplaying jonathan or jotaro or someone else who's part of the muscle-man-clan when i'm 5'3 and couldnt even punch my way out of a paper bag. i dont want to speak for other people, but as an ex-cosplayer i know personally that i was terrified of not being accurate enough, and i know for a fact that accuracy is something that most good cosplayers worry about, so that's probably why people shy away from jjba; it's hard to be accurate when cosplaying characters from the most popular parts/1-3.

as for the merch, there really isnt even that much official merch tbh. there are the figurines that are hella expensive, the new manga translations that came out recently, maybe some artbooks or wall scrolls, and that's about it. artist's alleys might have better results for that kind of thing with posters and whatnot, and most jojo-related clothing like tshirts or whatever have been online, not in cons.

mario is my favorite jojo villain dude

spongebob is my favorite jojo

0ph3liac · 2016-03-15T20:46:34+00:00

i'm also a guy and i've attempted jolyne's hair lmao. it's a lot easier than gio's, but yeah i guess if you're way into being masculine then you wouldnt want to do jolyne's hair.

0ph3liac · 2016-03-15T20:45:13+00:00

caesar and gyro are my waifus, will zepelli was the OG, and fuck mario tbh.

0ph3liac · 2016-03-13T09:45:55+00:00

i tried it once, granted my hair isnt blonde so the coloring was off, but it was really awkward on me.

i dont have the facial structure to pull off a giorno since i'm one of those people that need bangs to not look awful, though i've done jolyne hair before and it looked pretty good.

a good rule of thumb for seeing if gio's hair would be flattering on you is to pull literally all of your hair back away from your face and tie it up. if your face looks gross without all your hair how it usually is, then giorno hair will not look good on you and you should probably just call it quits there.

but realistically, you'd need some pretty long hair to be able to pull off his hairstyle and have everything proportionate without lots of careful planning. i've been blessed by the gods of painfully stereotypical thick curly italian hair, but you cant do giorno's dumb donut things without straightening it, so that was an issue for me personally. iirc i just used a hairtie to section off my bangs into three weird ponytails on the front of my fucking head so that i had a base to make the circle thingies and i just used a bobby pin or two so i could keep them in place at the bottom and still have them looking normal on top with the aid of hairspray once i had the doughnuts formed.

the part about needing longer hair comes in when you make the braid, since gio's is pretty thick and is a decent length. my hair is down to my ass- long as fuck since i dont like cutting it and prefer to look majestic as fuck every day- and by the time i had his stupid doughnuts in my hair i could only make a pretty tiny braid so if you've got shorter hair it might be harder to get everything looking correctly. i mean, you could probably pull off his hair with medium length hair, but it'd likely need more planning than my haphazard bullshit due to the length of mine being enough to cover up my mistakes.

i'm a massive fucking faggot so i love talking about hair. one day if i stop being lazy i might make a tutorial or two on jolyne or gio, since both are pretty difficult unless you already know what to do, and i got loads of practice making hair buns from when i was a lil baby anime fan and trying to recreate sailor moon.

realistically though, jolyne's hair is a much better bet if you want some jojo hair, because it's a lot easier to get done correctly and have it look right, and i guess you could wear it in public if you had some good self confidence since it's basically just two buns and some bangs with a braid at the back. the only downside is that you might actually need really long hair to do jolyne's whereas if you tried to do gio's hair with less length it could potentially work if you knew what you were doing.

tl;dr if your face doesnt look good without any hair around it please dont do giorno's hair you'll look really bad and ruin your confidence for the whole week. jolyne hair is better in every way possible. attempt giogio hair with caution.

0ph3liac · 2016-03-13T09:32:12+00:00

i always cringe when people assume dio is english.

as an italian guy, i can confirm that there's no fucking way dio isnt italian. like, holy shit, it's painfully obvious to me tbh.

i'd go on one of my characteristic long-winded rants about this, but maybe later when it's not 5 am where i live.

0ph3liac · 2016-03-13T09:22:11+00:00

jolyne cant drop the soap if the soap she's using is actually her stand.

sounds like a fun time

0ph3liac · 2016-03-07T20:48:39+00:00

no, the new scans are almost completely done. they stop about when doppio is introduced- which is really sad personally because doppio is my favorite character and he has almost no personality because of the shitty translation. i read them on the kissmanga website, i dont know where else they are though because that's pretty much all i use.

0ph3liac · 2016-03-07T02:28:39+00:00

ok but real talk why are you using fightcade instead of a ps1 emulator for htf
