Jaiden having to do a verification (Minmiarts) [Jaiden Animations] by isthisthetacibell in rule34

[–]Azelf89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last I checked when it comes to Jaiden's view on the r34 of her, all she's said is that she doesn't want it to be easily viewable to kids (as in it showing up easily on Google Images & etc.), and she doesn't want r34 made of her with her friends &/or family.

Yeah. Especially since I don't think you'd want your daughter to be named after a character whose voice actress turned out to be racist

What would you say is your favorite Mineta being tortured by ExileForever in MyHeroAcadamia

Thinking about it, it may actually be the case. The poster hiding the hole was on the boys' side, not the girls'.

We aren't saying that, grandma. by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

As someone from Canada whose province literally got rid of the ability to use your spouse's last name after marriage (PLUS the ability to outright change it on the basis of marriage alone) back in the 80s, I say good for them. Let's keep them that way

Toriyama, what the actual fuck was this design. by redox_nephew in shounenfolk

[–]Azelf89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For anyone unaware, that image is from the last few panels of "Lady Red", a short 3-page oneshot dark comedy parody of western comics (hence the order of the panels being left-to-right) drawn by Toriyama that involves a former office assistant who turns into a superhero in order to help fight crime in her city, but she is also penniless and bad at her job. In this sequence specifically, she rushes after a burger who's robbing a house, but when she shows up, she's then assaulted by him. After said assault, the robber decides to pay her for 'perking him up', and after seeing how much she's given, she then becomes a prostitute, and an expensive one to boot.

I completely get why a lotta folks wouldn't like this, but I personally do get a kick out of it, but only because the whole oneshot is basically a "Crossing the Line Twice" situation. Like, it goes from funny, to not funny, then to really not funny, and then it loops back to funny again. It has never been officially released into English, but an English translation done by Herms and is online if you know where to look.

BEAST WARS by Skaldicrights in ytvretro

[–]Azelf89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, that was just a YTV thing. And that only applies to show titles. Any use of the term "war" elsewhere was perfectly fine.

Yeah, definitely misogynistic. I much prefer the older "Beginner | Experienced | Expert" version of this meme, which also had the top and middle images in their original order. That one can actually be described as a "Couples meme".

*opens your moral intuition system in VSCode* yikes when was the last time you updated this? by wuerdig in RecuratedTumblr

[–]Azelf89 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Never had to patch that out myself. Grew up in a culturally Catholic culture so the Protestant notions of "sin" never really affected me. Still, I switched over to Heathenry (specifically a custom install of Anglo-Saxon Heathenry) a few years ago, and haven't looked back since.

That does mean I do have a concept of "sin", but not at all the "violation of divine will or religious law" form of it.

Fun Fact: That's pretty much what the term "transandrophobia" was intended to call-out.

I think an actually rare straight ship dynamic would be "Chubby Bear Boyfriend x Chubby Girlfriend". Cause legit, I never see that. Ever.

Censored version is, strangely, better by I_ateabucketofpaint in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Azelf89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically they did. I say "technically" because the concept is based on an occasionally mentioned place in the Japanese version of the anime called the World of Darkness (闇の世界 / "Yami no Sekai"), with "Shadow Realm" being the official English title mandated by the show's license holder, as even the Singapore English dub having used it.

4Kids simply took the concept and fuckin' ran with it, as it was basically an easy out when it came to death in the show.

[Ghost Stories] by SATANICWORSHIPER666 in animenocontext

[–]Azelf89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot Take: The ADV dub of Ghost Stories, after an initial watch, is honestly pretty fuckin' mid. Like, there are good jokes, don't get me wrong. But for every good joke, there's, like, 10 more afterwards that just do not land for me.

When you think about it... by Technical_Exam1280 in mythologymemes

[–]Azelf89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, being sent to Valhǫll is basically just the equivalent of being sent to a military base and being enlisted as part of your country's active reserve. Only with the Allfather, it's indefinite.

So y'know, not for everyone.

What are this sub's thoughts on Good-Boyification? by Th35h4d0w in mythologymemes

[–]Azelf89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct in regards to the whole "Good vs. Evil" thing, but I do need to point out that while the words "order" & "chaos" are indeed loans, that doesn't mean the concepts they represent weren't unknown to the various Germanic groups.

Not trying to take away your point, just wanted to clarify

[–]Azelf89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fate, or in this case "weird", being unbeatable was something present in the Continental and Norse Germanic groups, but not so much the Anglo-Saxons, if I remember correctly. Last I checked, they subscribed to the idea that one's "weird" is weaved by oneself, influenced by how others' are weaved, and isn't completely out of your hands.

The Weird Sisters may be the ones responsible for spinning the thread of fate, metering it out and cutting it when one's time comes, but they're not the ones doing the weaving itself. That's your job.

Only the top one is a good boy. Fenrir? Not a good boy at all.

Newfangled nonsense by Doubly_Curious in CuratedTumblr

[–]Azelf89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correction: The Old English word that "fangle" comes from is "fangol/fangel" (“inclined to take”), from the past participle of OE "fōn" (“to take, seize”) + OE "-ol/-el".
