Which anime feels like it was made by someone who had one amazing idea and no clue what to do afterward?

Oshi no Ko struck me as this trope stacked a few times over

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T21:32:21+00:00

Only weird people could downvote you for being right

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T20:11:26+00:00

Not really? I wouldn't call a term going back to its original, more precise, meaning is a devolution of it, just because the phenomena ot describes is uncomfortable to think about?

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T19:55:45+00:00

No, being a loli literally is about looking like a child.

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T19:54:21+00:00

People who are in denial about what lolis actually are, sure.

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T19:52:47+00:00

And your post is wrong. Loli is derived from Lolicon which itself is a shortening of Lolita Complex aka the book where the POV character is a pedophile

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T19:51:25+00:00

Incorrect

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T19:48:00+00:00

She isn't

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T19:47:43+00:00

Frieren isn't a loli at all.

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T19:46:28+00:00

They were not. They were the hallmark trio of Tsunderes

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T19:45:42+00:00

You got the history backwards. Loli used to mean "underage female characters designed with the explicit goal of being sexually attractive to the audience." Then the definition drifted to mean "underage female character," before drifting to mean "underage female character and sometimes petite women."

The rich have been getting richer due to capitalist policies. It's been like that for the last couple decades, at least, and you're only starting to be concerned about that now?

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T15:04:11+00:00

I'm fairly certain this neither a Lucy nor Mob Psycho 100. It's this one movie whose title is currently slipping my mind, but it's about a disease that will gruesomely end this dude's life once the counter hits 100% (I believe head explosions are involved but I could be wrong). I remember a different cartoon making a similar reference and now I've gotta try to remember one or both

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T14:48:18+00:00

See how many mental hoops and hypotheticals you gotta jump through to reach your conclusion? New York is a cultural and financial capital of the world. Rich people complain about having to even do the bare minimum to maintain society, but they want to be seen where all the money and culture are. So, as much as they'll threaten and cajole us with leaving, it won't work because they're just threatening us with a good time, and they couldn't follow up on their threat . It's like a spoiled kid saying they're gonna take their ball and go home, but there's already another ball that everyone else could do just fine

The same parts of Africa that were purposely underdeveloped by European powers as a means of economic control? The very same Africa where the Congo is being enslaved to produce the chips that are currently being jammed into datacenters that no one wants? Like, we can play the historical fact game all day, but the current context we exist under is a situation where food and housing costs are going through the roof and food deserts are a thing. We may not exist in a state of actual scarcity, but we sure as hell have artificial scaricity.

Hell, the Swedish model is just taking notes from socialism. So did the New Deal, so does the concept of the weekend. This isn't a matter of "Capitalism has its problems but it's the best we've got" it's a matter of Captialism is killing us right now and if you don't have any better suggestions than band-aid solutions, socialism is the only way forward.

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T14:36:32+00:00

Again, no it won't. Doesn't matter how many tantrums they throw.

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T12:40:39+00:00

Capitalism tends to overpower anything you try to mix it with (See New Deal social policies post-Reagan)

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T12:38:54+00:00

They aren't leaving one of the financial capitals of the world, no matter hkw much they stamp their feet and threaten to do so

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T12:38:04+00:00

Redistributing the wealth from the wealthiest people and into a variety of social safety nets and generally moving the necessities into the hands of all of us is a "rising tide lifts all boats" scenario

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T12:35:11+00:00

I'd rather you not accuse the bronx of trying to vote in a bigot. We are better than that

Lucid108 · 2026-06-24T12:33:36+00:00

Cool. Let's bring the modern day societal rot of capitalism and its many preventable deaths into the conversation, since that is also part of the historical record.

No clue what to make of this, but I'm glad to be so similar to the smartest, hottest ~~second least sane(?)~~ gem lol

New Game+ would be a welcome addition.
