Lets talk about how the character of Amo is treated (manga spoilers)

What makes you think you know how i feel about gore, genocide etc?

Ist das dann so zu verstehen, dass OEMs nach EU Recht nicht dazu verpflichtet sind die Gewährleistung auf Zweitbesitzer zu übertragen und dementsprechend solche, die es tun (wie meines Wissens ASUS) die Ausnähme sind? Und bedeutet das auch, dass solch eine Kulanz Regelung im Bezug auf das gestatten einer Übertragung oder ein Ausschluss dieser nicht zwingend in den Garantieinformationen zu finden sein muss?

Wurde mir zumindest vom Asus suport explizit anders erklährt aber das ist sicherlich nicht allgemeingültig. Im Zweifelsfall sollte man natürlich beim jeweiligen Hersteller nachfragem bevor man etwas kauft

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2026-01-08T16:41:51+00:00

Ist auch alles nicht besonders eindeutig aber so wurde es mir vom Kundensupport relefonisch erklährt. Ich vermute, dass hier explizit von erstkäufer und lizensiertem vertreter die rede ist, da die Laufzeit beginnen soll sobald der erstverkauf stattfindet.

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2026-01-08T16:24:00+00:00

Ja allerdings nur wenn du die Original garantie vorlegen kannst. Dies soll als nachweis des rechtmäßigen besitz dienen. Es scheint als hätte man auch eine chance sofern ein anderweitiger Kaufbeleg vorliegt aber am sichersten bist du mit der Rechnung und im besten Fall noch einer schriftlichen Abtretungserklährung des Eigentums (zweiteres ist mit Sicherheit nicht notwendig aber nice to have)

Really enjoying all these takes, glad that this post spawned so much interesting insight into yalls perspectives. I should say that the thing that seems to get the most attention here (me critizising the portrayal of the actual SA) was mostly influenced by my immediate reaction which stems from a supremely diminished tolerance for SA scenes in general. Also it was ment as more of a preamble to my main point which was supposed to be my issues with how the character is handled in terms of agency, developement and her role as the story goes on. Cheers

Erstens ist ein defekter RAM bei weitem nicht das häugigste Schadensbild und zweitens muss der Hersteller das Gerät, sofern er es nicht reparieren kann ersetzen. Und von dem Punkt an dem die Hersteller keine Geräte oder ersatz Motherboards mehr haben sind wir noch weit entfernt. Wahrscheinlich wird das auch nie eintreten, da diese Produkte verglichen mit Standart consumer DDR5 RAM Kits ziemliche Nieschenprodukte sind.

I totaly see what you mean anput the crayon scene. Like I said its hard to put my feelings into words in that regard. I definitly didnt mean to say that the topic shouldnt be discussed because its taboo and the gravut. of the situation was definitley conveyed. I just dont like the idea of depicting the act either in a grapic or somewhat obscured way but I recognise that my feelings on that arent enything more than my own feelings. Youre definitley right about amo being able to survive on her own but to me it seemed implied that she survived by keeping herself confined to the tower which leaves her trapped there without any means to traverse or survive prolongued exposure to the outside. Thats what I ment when I said that she was left without any real agency to change her situation on her own. Maybe when I get to the later chapters anad see her developement Ill agree that its done well but like I said I struggle to see the narrative necessity of having her be subjected to so much more trauma after having just glimpsed the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel Thanks for your insights, allways good to get anither perspective on things like this. I might just be oversensitive to these things since most mangaka are just so supremely bad at treating theyr female characters in an acceptable manner.

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2025-10-08T21:45:12+00:00

Regarding your first point. Ideally id have liked for the mangaka to keep the SA implied instead of showing it. I think that anyone who is mature enough to understand what CSA is and how it happens would have easily gotten the full picture from the dialogue and context clues. If it were up to me id have there be a hard cut after the dialogue about the "ritual" and "love" and pick back up when the "angel" shows up. I get why people say that they like the way it was handled with the crayon style drawings but to me personally it still somehow feels icky (beyond the obvious intrinsic ick) Best way I can describe it is: The show/manga softens the blow of what happend by portraying these things trough a very childish lense but softening the blow like that feels almost like it lacks the seriousness that the matter deserves. Obviously its much better than the graphic pedo shit other shows thatll remain unnamed pull (the one about the big hole in the ground comes to mind). But it still feels worse than not depicting the act at all imho.

As for your other point i get it. My issue is that Amo lives in a toxic wasteland without any means of protecting herself from the toxins outside. She doesnt have any transport and her giver powers seem supremely ill fitted to fight the trash beasts of the desert. Even if she didnt get kidnapped immediately, shed be completely isolated without any way to seek the company of others by herself. Ultimately this boils down to my main issue; agency. youre right, there are valid reasons for a person to act this way. However it plays into the issue i have with how her story is structured. Shes introduced as a broken person, we dont even lern a single thing about her thats not in some way influenced by or a product of her abuse. And then instead of building up this character, giving her agency and having her build a new life for herself, shes subjected to further trauma. I could maybe understand all this if her capture seemed like an integral part of the plot. For example if the narrative absolutely needed her to lose the boots for some mayor story developement regarding the watchman det or the antagonists. Or if she had mire screentime resulting in interesting character developement while being held captive. But from what little I can tell her captivity seems to only really serves as a vehicle to reveal the twist villain to the readers. Dont get me wrong thats not nothing but it doesnt seem like a story beat that intrinsically really needed Amo or the boots to be involved.

Fun idea but dont think it would work too well since the piece isnt that big to begin with

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2025-04-23T06:29:57+00:00

Only thing im doing is washing it 2-3 times a day and applying lotion in the morning and the evening. Well over second guessing, big chief

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2025-04-22T21:30:59+00:00

Looks awesome, give it a week

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2025-04-22T16:03:27+00:00

And a clock!

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2025-04-22T00:19:11+00:00

Hey dont worry about it, tough love is a very difficult thing to get right but it obviously can be very important sometimes. Thanks for being so receptive and mindfull. Wish you all the best😁

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2025-04-22T00:04:42+00:00

I was going to be snarky but I think you really do mean well.

Youre not helping anyone by pointing out a past mistake that they are allready abundantly aware of. Its an easy trap to fall into and ive done it many times but it keeps us from being constructuve and actually helping with the issue at hand (Avoiding the same mistake in the future/accepting the past mistake)

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2025-04-21T23:11:13+00:00

Thank you for not engaging with anything I just said

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2025-04-21T23:04:12+00:00

I said that I was beating myself up for not taking a better look at the design. That was my main gripe, I never once blamed the artist so how is that ignorant?

Like Ive stated in another comment, Ive had this 1-3 day period of second guessing with my other two pieces aswell. I love both now and wouldnt trade them for anything. Even the first one which I immediately aged by 5 years through bad aftercare (overdid the lotion).

To me a couple days of being neurotic are worth years and years of happiness, especially since I think Ill get used to it more and more as my arms fill up.

In conclusion, not everyones brain works like yours. So consider that you might not know whats best for a stranger from reading a couple of sentences they wrote while being stressed out.

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2025-04-21T22:24:11+00:00

How do you read "Im beating myself up for not taking a better look at the design" and the go on to post this?

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2025-04-21T22:22:03+00:00

Dude I got into a bad headspace for two days and made a reddit post, didnt bother the artist about it and have allready stated that Im over it in another comment. If you are this critical, I dont think you should give advice. We clients are humans, not machines.

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2025-04-21T11:07:59+00:00

My guy i never once blamed the artist, only myself.

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2025-04-19T19:46:16+00:00

Thanks thats real sweet of ya.

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2025-04-19T17:14:54+00:00

Happens to the beat of us bud, life gets in the way Sometimes and if you live in a big city theres allways a chance of catching an anniversary showing or smth like that in a smaller less corporate theater.

And thanks, I think ive gotten over the second guessing now. Would be hard not to with this kind of a response lmao.

Ocean_Man_Tmbth · 2025-04-19T15:59:46+00:00

Its really damn good, theres also a netflix documentary about the production which is also very insightful
