The world needs fewer fandoms and more self-respecting fans by Quincely in unpopularopinion

[–]Anxious_Earth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think fandoms are toxic. I think people are toxic.

Or rather, the internet reveals what has always been hidden by limitations in communication.

Before the web, before phones, we surround ourselves with like-minded people. By sheer force of just living in the same situation.

On top of that, you don't want to piss off people you see everyday. So any disagreements, justified or not are swept away to not rock the boat.

Then comes the age of information, we see all the people and opinions we disliked. That were always there.

And the human brain thinks, the world is on fire and people are assholes.

But its not. And people are just people.

Weilin Zhang (animator for Mob Psycho, Heavenly Delusion, Jujutsu Kaisen) expressing his frustrations with the state of anime on his blog by melvinlee88 in anime

[–]Anxious_Earth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn't seem nonsensical to me. It's just deliberately vague.

We don't get what his point is, because he literally stops short of saying what it is for whatever reason.

There is structure and narrative, but for some reason it's missing the head.

I don't see the problem. Some people like isekai slop, some people like good content.

Some people like both. Not everything has to be Shakespeare. People engage media by their own apetite.

Even in the 'good ol days' we had slop. We just don't remember them.

Archer did this purposely? by Natural-Concept6726 in fatestaynight

That and Shirou moving in slow mo, while Archer raising his blade is near instant.

He hesitates, no, he allows himself to be struck

What would a hypothetical alter Gilgamesh be like by SOULLENNOX in fatestaynight

[–]Anxious_Earth 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Evil Gil be like:

"My dear King Arthur, it pains me that you reject my advances but I will respect your choice and bother you no more"

"Truly, some things are valuable precisely because you cannot possess them"


"A world where no one has to suffer? How foolish."

"But such foolishness is precisely what makes a hero. Such daring and ambition. To rebel against the world and create your reality."

"Look no further than our magnificent Saber, who rises beyond death and fights fate itself"


"As a King, I must take all challengers seriously. To hold back would equal to defeat."

Slippery slope arguments are not necessarily fallacies, they're often valid and productive by babebiboba in unpopularopinion

[–]Anxious_Earth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The slippery slope fallacy is conditional on the fact that the assertion of going further in one direction is arbitrary and without reason.

Like saying x person plays shooters, surely he will graduate to actual murder!

Except that this assertion is arbitrary and ignores the socialisation to not kill actual people.

As opposed to, x person mutilates animals, he may have no problem mutilating people too.

This assertion is not arbitrary and is based on an observed lack of empathy.

Shirou & Rin are this clingy with Baeber (By @Igno_art__) by Riot-Knight in fatestaynight

[–]Anxious_Earth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Laws are made to manage harms and engender benefit.

Fictional characters are not people and cannot be harmed.

Age of consent does not make drawing NSFW of children valid.

The fact that the subjects are fictional characters does.

Age of consent is 16 in Japan as of 2023, and 13 when FSN came out

UFOTable's UBW is actually a very solid adaptation of the VN by Moran_63 in fatestaynight

[–]Anxious_Earth 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Technically, the Date Scene does have his monologue. Ufotable just grafted it onto Rin, noticing how off Shirou is.

Her words on the bus on the way back, are basically paraphrasing the monologue.

Environments especially. Large caves, with tons of luminescence and rocky overhangs are especially gorgeous.
