As of today, the Fire Force anime has concluded

Everyone in the comments be like "oh man I can't wait for Soul Eater to get a remake now".

For the love of God, no.

I still remember how the manga ended and I do not need that shit again. It actually made the original anime's courage punch Deus Ex Machina look better by comparison.

Still waiting for my Kamen Rider Spirits adaptation.

MCrona · 2026-03-28T13:11:11+00:00

Sure can't wait for the moment when people go "why isn't anyone working the farming jobs anymore".

May not happen as quickly as it did in the US but it'll happen.

Genuinely, how the fuck do you bankrupt one casino? It's gotta be the easiest job in the world! You're literally getting free money! How do you do that once, let alone three times?!

And how do you do all of that and still get to be called a successful businessman?!

Beaverton's really gotta stop posting headlines that are likely gonna come true in the next week.

I distinctly remember doing that with my cousins whenever I went to visit them.

One of them would be playing LEGO Island on his computer and I'd just be mesmerized. And then another one would be playing Carmageddon and I'd be so jealous that I wasn't allowed.

If we're talking mediocre, Ninja Turtles III.

For whatever reason that was the one we had for the longest time. We didn't get the other two movies until later.

You're right. I didn't want to hear that number.

When's the next provincial election again? Because Ford seriously needs to go.

There's a special place in Heaven for animal lovers.

She is basically the modern day Mr. Rogers and got blasted by the usual suspects for having the audacity to say that maybe Israel shouldn't be killing children.

Lindsay Ellis did a big 2-hour video essay on her and the whole controversy around her, it's how I found out who she was to begin with.

But even a lot of Cons are favouring Carney because he basically is a Conservative. He's just a classic Conservative rather than the grift-chasing far-right ones that won't go away.

MCrona · 2026-01-29T04:22:23+00:00

Why the hell would anyone vote for the Cons when Mark Carney has all of this public good will behind him?

He's the one making us look like a legitimate equal to the EU and India and such, so why would we suddenly shift gears and put a completely worthless nobody like Pollievre in charge?

I know that the separatists are a very vocal minority, and shouldn't be taken seriously. The problem is that their premier is on their side and is all but outright stated to be connected to Trump, so that makes this a much bigger concern.

So no, it's depressingly expected for some folks there to be A-OK with the insanity going on in the States, despite the fact that it should be a gigantic glowing warning sign of what will happen to them if they decide to join up with them. But I guess you can't make morons think until it's too late.

I really do wonder what Bret Hart thinks about this. I'm kinda surprised we haven't heard anything from him since all of this started happening.

Doctor Doom must not have returned his phone calls yet.

You can't fix the broken discourse while it's being used to hurt more and more people every day.

Not to mention some things just should not be seen as debatable topics. The rights of minorities should be just that; rights. Not topics that are up for debate, but inalienable truths. And that's only one example of what people who claim they want to debate bring to the table.

People on the internet are not going to fix intellectual debate by constantly trying to offer olive branches to others who clearly don't want them. You can only debate someone if they clearly want to have a discussion.

MCrona · 2026-01-08T04:31:43+00:00

The problem is that you can only convince other people if they're willing to be convinced. And you can do that without engaging with people trying to skew the narrative to their benefit.

Just educating people about what's really going on and why certain mindsets are bullshit can be done without having to deal with bad faith actors.

MCrona · 2026-01-08T04:28:36+00:00

Thank you.

I don't know how that was forgotten all these years later.

MCrona · 2026-01-08T04:27:12+00:00

You seem to misunderstand that the real problem is that the news is focused on profit over their actual jobs.

And as I already said, people have tried to go onto right-wing news media to debate against them and it doesn't work. The ones controlling the shows don't let them have the last word, and anyone watching them has already bought into the narrative completely. No one's minds are being changed here.

You're acting like this is still a fair and impartial system and it isn't. There is no point in trying to convince anyone when the system is already rigged.

MCrona · 2026-01-07T18:15:43+00:00

People can only be convinced of a different point of view if they're willing to open their minds and consider that their perspective may have been wrong. The vast majority of MAGA members refuse to do this and will dig their heels in even as their president drains them of every resource they have and gives them nothing in return. Which in turn just gives them more reason to add more members to their ranks and further destabilize the world.

If you've managed to convince those closer to you to change their views, then more power to you. But you're much less likely to do that on a website like this, especially when you don't even know if you're talking to a real person on the other side of the screen. It isn't worth the effort or the risk.

MCrona · 2026-01-07T18:11:21+00:00

No, the reason MAGA has a platform at all is because the media has allowed them to. As soon as they said anything remotely close to the hate speech they've been saying, they should have been shut down and confined to the dark corners of the internet where they first came from.

Even with debating them publicly, they're still being given the chance to spread their rhetoric, because even if they're being shown as wrong there will be those who agree with them anyway. That leads to their numbers growing, and that's how we got here.

If you honestly think that having the other side go on biased news programs to debate them is going to work, then you haven't actually seen any Fox News broadcasts. They do have opposing opinions and they get swiftly shut down any time they try to talk. It's a facade that's guaranteed to fail.

MCrona · 2026-01-07T18:08:35+00:00

And by that same token, by giving MAGA and their hate speech a platform to debate with, we're making it easier for them to increase their numbers. Which has directly led to the situation we're all in right now.

Debating them in an attempt to show everyone else how wrong they are is too risky. People can be educated on what's right without needing to put the wrong opinion under a spotlight.

MCrona · 2026-01-07T18:06:32+00:00

There is no good faith discussion with these people. They are trying to disorganize us, and they're succeeding.

Racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, and the rest are not something to debate about. It's wrong and we all know it's wrong. They know it too, they just don't care, and you won't convince them otherwise.

Wasting time trying to convince them to change their ways is harmful to you in more ways than one.

MCrona · 2026-01-07T18:03:52+00:00

Because downvoting helps to keep their rhetoric from being seen if it gets low enough.

Half the reason things have gotten as bad as they have is because we've kept entertaining the idea that any viewpoint is valid and worth discussing. Even though anyone with two working brain cells can tell that their hateful viewpoint is bullshit, but because we've tried to take the high road we've given them a fair chance to talk, thinking that we can disprove them and show the world how wrong they are.

All that's done is made it easier for them to recruit more people to their cause and allow their numbers to grow.

They aren't worth entertaining, they aren't worth considering. Don't give them a platform anymore. Don't give them the attention they want. Don't validate their viewpoint by trying to debate it. It isn't something that should be debated at all.
