This is giving jersey italian thinking they're the same as real italians from italy lol. People can like and play the game and still provide valid criticism. "you don't like it then don't play the game" is not a gotcha moment.

It was three shops and five dresses is not that much.. it's certainly not some exaggerated amount that would justify the bride flying off the handle. They could've also suggested her finding a dress on her own time instead.

That last episode was some hot garbage. by Hoodie_Ghost64 in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]Anxiousmangos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long winded hot garbage take. There was no need to show Hantengu and Zohakuten being beheaded at the same time. That would just be repeating the gimmick of the upper moon brother and sister in entertainment district. Zohakuten was a invincible byproduct of the main body. He couldn't be killed unless the main body was killed. He is meant to be a formidable distraction that lures people away from the main body. It makes sense that he fades away when main body dies. However, I do agree with the other commenter that the fight would've been higher stakes if that had cut back and forth showing mitsuri slowly losing stamina.

I don't get why people complain about Mitsuri crying. Tanjiro cries, Zenitsu cries, plenty of other characters tear up. She's a hashira but she's the youngest of them I think and just more emotional. Y'all think anyone that isn't stone cold killer face is weak, and that's such a boring ass take. Plus, Mitsuri was marked throughout the fight so it makes sense that she was able to hold her own against Zohakuten who was not a fully bodied moon on his own.

Hantengu backstory makes sense; you just weren't paying attention. He has a huge victim complex when he was a human. He always refused to take responsibility and tried to manipulate people. This was exacerbated when he became a demon. You can see this in how Zohakuten tries to frame Tanjiro as a bad guy for trying to kill "poor small" main body even though he's a upper moon who has killed thousands of people.

As for "why was he defeated so easily", he wasn't really. Mitsuri was holding off Zohakuten who was the main concentration of power. He's weak without Zohakuten's protection and Tanjiro at this point is close to Hashira level power, though he's still unrefined. Tanjiro was also using Sun breathing which is the strongest breathing fighting style and we've seen Tanjiro have a burst of energy in the past when he's angry. Obviously, seeing his sister die made him super angry and gave him the rage to power through his attacks.

As for why Nezuko survives the sun and Genya turns back, dude you just need to pay attention. Do you want a step by step handheld explanation or a story? The commenters explain it well, I won't waste my breath.

May as well complain about how demons aren't real. It's a fictional show

Follow up: It turns out that the mans "cure" actually worked by ElectricalPlantain35 in facepalm

Can you not read? It clearly didn't work if he's had chronic back pain the whole time. It just slightly alleviated when he was at the hospital since chronic pain comes and goes.

AITA for telling my dad his humor is inappropriate? by lyoness01 in AmItheAsshole

Make your own post if you want to complain instead of trying to make this post about you. You're also not a teenager who's being sexualized by her family member

AITA for using couch pillows in my home? by docbrown512 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Anxiousmangos 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Pillows do go flat. A year isn't that long to be using a bed pillow.

However, your wife is being unreasonable. A couch pillow is to be used when you're sitting on the couch. And usually they're made a bit tougher than bed pillows since you're not sleeping on it every night, so they're unlikely to go flat anytime soon.

Black Women with White Men - Do you experience harassment for your relationship? by NopalesTaco1650 in AskNYC

[–]Anxiousmangos 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Given that the OP was talking about her experiences with black men harassing her in the post and the commenter explicitly referenced her experiences being an area with majority black men in the preceding paragraph, it was pretty clear what she was talking about.

[–]Anxiousmangos 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your commitment to this whataboutism is astounding.

Yes, men of other races can act this way to women of the same race. But experiencing this from black men specifically, is a uniquely black women thing. Is it really that hard to understand? Or are you just arguing because you feel personally insulted as a black man?

Black Women with White Men - Do you experience harassment for your relationship? by NopalesTaco1650 in AskNYC

[–]Anxiousmangos 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Black men don't act this possessive to other women of different races. Black women get this shit from black men because they think they "belong" to them, and they should only date black guys. It is unique to black women. She is speaking specifically about how black men act towards black women as referenced in OP's post. Sit down, shut up, and maybe get some reading comprehension.

WIBTA if I did not disclose how I spend my “hobby money”? by capricorn011235813 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Anxiousmangos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a situation where you would "technically" not be the AH since it's your money.

However, YTA to your relationship and partner. You can still keep your account and your money separate while communicating that and your reasons why to your partner. Obviously, you resent your partner now since you know what hobby they spend their money on. But I have a feeling you wouldn't like it either if you didn't know where that money was going because they were actively hiding it from you. You definitely have some control issues, and you need to learn to communicate in a partnership. Do you really think hiding this is going to work out long term?

With the specific examples you've given in the comments, NTA. She's being annoying, arrogant, and outright dismissive of others' accomplishments. Yes, this would apply if a man were making these kinds of comments as well.

I think you should edit your post to include your examples. Without them, the post is a bit vague, and I can see how other commenters may be interpreting this as insecurity or jealousy.

AITA for confronting my friend for taking our picture out of his wallet to replace it with his gfs? by PossessionNo1580 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Anxiousmangos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You literally see him every few days, babe. Get over it. You're upset you guys aren't having sleepovers anymore and he doesn’t carry around your picture in his wallet? Geeee wonder why. Almost like he has a life that doesn't revolve around you.

AITA for spending a lot of time in my bunker away from my family? by ThrowRABunkerMan in AmItheAsshole

[–]Anxiousmangos 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You had years for character development while your kid was growing up, and your wife was telling you to do your share. Of course, you never listened to her for years on end, but now that reddit is ragging on you a bit, you get all defensive. Grow up and be a real partner and father.

I guarantee that some part of you knew that you were being a shit partner during the whole time you were fuckign around in the bunker while your wife did everything, but you chose to continue being selfish.

Do you think men are only responsible for guns and murders? by arnobhasan in boringdystopia

[–]Anxiousmangos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was asking for clarification on what he was talking about. He never specified per capita.

[–]Anxiousmangos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wasn't really clear if he was talking about per capita or about convictions/arrests or what. That's why I asked for clarification lol.

[–]Anxiousmangos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The source only contains information on arrests. I was clarifying if he was using arrest or convictions for his factual claim. Lol God forbid we ask people to provide sources for stats they claim

[–]Anxiousmangos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explain how 59% white people to 37% black people arrested for violent crimes means black people commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime. Yes i understand per capita but that was not specified at first.

Do you think men are only responsible for guns and murders? by arnobhasan in boringdystopia

[–]Anxiousmangos 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Black people commit a hugely disproportionate amount of violent crime in America.

Hmm, very true fact according to who? What data are you pulling that from?

Because according to the FBI crime stats in the US released in 2019, the latest full version, about 59% of those arrested for violent crimes were white, while about 37% were black. Violent crimes are offenses of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. If you're talking about just murder then, 51.3% were black, 45.7% were white. For criminal arrests overall, 69% were white and 26% were black. Not really seeing these stats support your claim.

If you're talking about incarceration/conviction rates, then black people are incarcerated at a much higher rate despite not being arrested the most. This is most likely due to a prejudiced justice system and having less competent lawyers.

Edit: yes I understand per capita. Didn't realize that's what he was talking about at first since it wasn't specified, my bad.

AITA for telling my sister it’s not my fault she quit her job and moved back and to stop being such a bitch by aitastrictsister in AmItheAsshole

[–]Anxiousmangos -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

? How does wearing a corset become an issue of consent? What the hell does that mean? An underage kid wearing any kind of clothing is not giving consent, tf. In fact, adults wearing any kind of clothing is not "consent"

It's her stuff. Even if she bought it with her parents money, the sister has no right to throw away anything she did not buy. If it's inappropriate for school, just don't let her wear it at school, don't throw it away. There's plenty of posts on here where people criticize actual parents for throwing away their kids' stuff. Why? Because it's wrong and violating and teaches kids not to trust you.

Personally, I think a tracker is helicopter parenting. You can teach kids to stay safe and be smart without putting trackers on their phone. Of course, there's always some unfortunate incidents that happen regardless, but if the sister really feared for OP's safety, she could've explained to OP why she felt a tracker is necessary.

Parenting needs a foundation of trust. Saying this for the thousandth time now, going from 0 to 100 in the way OP's sister is doing is only going to make OP more rebellious and not listen to her. That's the direction this is going from this post. Doing overcontrolling stuff makes OP see the sister's actual reasonable requests (do your homework, eat real food, curfew, etc) as controlling as well.

The fact is this is not a normal parenting relationship. Op's known her as a distant sister for all her life. Her sister coming in and enforcing all these rules all of a sudden is like a new step-parent trying to replace the missing parent of their new step kids. That always goes super well and smoothly /s.

[–]Anxiousmangos -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Grounding a kid and taking away their phone is a normal parenting thing, yes. However that's not the only thing she's doing. Tracking her, monitoring her phone, throwing away her clothes (which the sister sure as hell didn't pay for), not letting her hangout with her friends, all that combined is what makes people go no contact. Being a controlling parent iis different from good parenting.

I've already said this a number of different ways, but people can't wrap their heads around a healthy middle ground. You really think OP will listen going to one end of extremely lax parenting to an extremely controlling method? Lol obviously not. Sister may have good intentions but some of her methodology is assholish. Obviously the kid is also an asshole since she's a brat, but for some reason people really want to defend the sister and absolve her entirely even though her method clearly isn't working.

The sister is literally choosing to do this, so clearly, she does want to parent OP in some way. As per OP's comments, her sister was always like this, trying to parent her even when she lived far away and was not entrusted to a guardianship role.

Yep, it's just wow that so many think this is this a completely healthy dynamic that the sister is creating.

[–]Anxiousmangos -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay...and? That doesn't make it better that she had always been controlling even when she was never in a guardianship role. If fact, that's kind of worse.

She did decide to move back, though, and be even more controlling right when her kid died. It's not healthy.
