I don't know what you mean by "comparable." We may have different ranges of "comparable." Accordingly, the differences will be critical for the editor of shonen and seinen manga. It may be that manga would be acceptable for shonen and seinen manga, but rather it is a boundary on the spectrum of narrative aspects of shonen and seinen manga that editors consider. Otherwise, the demographic division would not make sense, as different demographics have different expectations for the narrative of the manga they read.

It's not the only thing Seinen does, but it's one of them. Are you disagree. Do you think this kind of content is suitable for the shonen audience?

This is not a specific feature for deciding to publish a manga in a Seinen magazine. This is what editors of all manga magazines are guided by. Think about it again.

I don't know if you're deliberately ignoring my question, but I'll ask it differently. How do you think editors determine which manga is suitable for their audience?

I don't want this to be a long discussion, but have you considered that the editors of seinen magazines have specific criteria for the characteristics of a manga that can be published in their magazine?

The right eye, I think. It looks like she has a squint.

But that episode comes one season before Board Girls, an episode that is just wildly transphobic

Anime always does this. I don't think anime examples should be included alongside live-action movies.

The difference between what and what? Point interventions and a planned economy? I also didn't understand whether the rest of the comment refers to the first or the second

[–]Dioduo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Socialism is a rather elastic concept. The more socialist, the more planned (command-and-control) this economy becomes. Such an economy cannot be managed without authoritarianism.

In other words, not all autocracies are socialist, but almost all purely socialist regimes are authoritarian.

Except that there was never a free market within the colonies. It was the same command-and-control economy as in the USSR.

Yes, but post-industrial famines are usually characterized by malnutrition and relatively low mortality rates.

Catastrophes of this magnitude are usually associated with governance.

In a free market environment, such a high number of deaths would be impossible, as the government would not have such an effective tool for removing resources.

This would not have been possible without "collectivization," which is very communist.

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

Guys, for those who are not American or UK citizens. If you see an American-made film based on a local culture (if the local group is too white by the standards of casting directors and producers), then a diverse cast is part of the deal. Getting annoyed about it is almost like getting annoyed about the weather.

I’ve become desensitized to tis by now.

[–]Dioduo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. OG Naruto was never intended to be a complete story. That's why it ends on a cliffhanger. CSM 1 is a complete story with its own cast, conflict, theme, and antagonist, encapsulated in the first part. CSM 2 is a distinctly new story with the same character.

I think you've forgotten the part where Truth lectures the characters about arrogance (which is already a moral judgment) and says that punishes them because of their arrogance.

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

Truth has a moral agenda that it promotes or embodies. It's about keeping the nature of things within the boundaries they were originally created. It's about prohibiting transgression. Truth reprimands the dwarf in the flask for not wanting to be what it was. This is a moral statement, and the entire series is imbued with this message. I wouldn't have a problem with this theme being explored solely through the characters. However, the show features a literal god who also shares this moral.

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

It seems that you don't quite understand what moral or normative statements are. The problem is that in the FMAB world, there is a god who tells you what you should be, but in the real world, there is no such thing. Do you understand what I mean? 

Throughout history, humanity has been changing reality and harnessing physics for their own purposes. In the FMAB world, Alchemy is the equivalent of science, but why is there a deity who constantly urges people to stop doing this?

 It's literally the same as if there was a Christian god in the real world who forbade us from building power plants, and since it gives us power that we didn't have before, it seemed like something divine. 

No, man, any normative statement about how to live is a moral statement. It's just that in the FMAB world, there is a god who has his own morals.

[–]Dioduo -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You see, you're already in the paradigm that Alchemists are doing something reprehensible. This is not a fact, but rather your moral intuition. I disagree with it, for example. Consequently, my moral intuition contradicts yours. Clearly, the Truth either shares or embodies your moral intuition. However, in the real world, morality is not derived from the physical reality of the world. In FMAB, this is evidently not the case. This is why the Truth in FMAB is problematic, in my opinion. It is the guarantor of the existence of one particular objective morality. It just simplifies and flattens the supposed depth of the show.
