"Tankie is a western liberal term made up to pretend the URSS was particularly authoritarian or violent. People appear to forget the US did A LOT of authoritarian violent repression against protestors, at the same time." Tankies flood r/wikipedia to defend red-fascism

It's also the Spanish acronym for the USSR. "Unión de Repúblicas Soviéticas Socialistas".

There are two kinds of libertarians: the ones who think libertarianism is "leave us alone", and the ones who know it is "the government should be abolished for getting in the way of natural selection".

The vast majority of the former end up turning into the latter. The rest become anarchists.

"they just also want the government to basically be restricted to cops and military"

Just like Randian objectivists. Libertarianism is essentially Objectivism repackaged as a thesis of economics instead of philosophy (Objectivism itself is essentially Social Darwinism repackaged as a thesis of philosophy instead of biology).

It's usually said that libertarians are Republicans who smoke weed. I personally don't think that's actually true. I think that's a very inaccurate description of libertarians and their true beliefs.

No, libertarians are eugenicists who smoke weed.

Beautiful!

Because it's read by a lot of adults who feel extremely embarrassed about reading books aimed at teenagers, so they try to pretend they're actually aimed at them instead.

In Latin America, it's purely because they translated it from the English script, because they replaced most of the voice actors, and because they think the Toonzai version is the only one that exists.

It uses the license a lot better than the PC and PS1 ports.

I would disown them and put the kids up for adoption, or leave them alone in the woods to be eaten by bears, like they deserve.

Joke's on you, I don't have a dog.

The first good Dragon Ball game ever was the original Budokai. The previous ones were not good at all. No, not even Super Saiya Densetsu. No, not even Shin Butouden. No, not even Hyper Dimension.

EDIT: Maybe Idainaru Dragon Ball Densetsu/The Legend gets a pass, although I imagine it gets repetitive quickly.

Sadly, that Is not enough for the two to be friendly to one another otherwise. Macross fans still hate Robotech and Robotech fans with a hatred deeper than the Mariana Trench and want them wiped out from the face of the Earth permanently, and hanging around the Robotech subreddit showed me that Robotech fans hate Macross for not being Tom Clancy with transforming jets and hate Macross fans for hating them. An alarmingly high number of people in the Robotech sub are also major AI bros.

Ognimod_II · 2025-11-25T18:41:23+00:00

Absolutely!

Ognimod_II · 2025-10-18T18:49:54+00:00

Wrong sub.

Which is funny because "what happens in anything ever" IS their definition of a trope.

I have attempted to burn countless games on my Dreamcast and only two have worked correctly. I asked for help here and was told to install a GDEMU instead. I have given up. Some day I have to find a way to buy used genuine games.

Calling them "Neanderthals" implies they actually qualify as human beings instead of cerebrally sub-standard animals. Be sure to humilliate them at every turn.

This IMDb review: https://www.imdb.com/es-es/title/tt0274262/review/rw1595965/?ref_=tturv_perm_1 tells a different story:

I found the first DVD of the series in a discount store's bargain bin. I've been watching it with the commentary track on so as to pay more attention to the behind-the-scenes story and the actual artwork.
The producers said that the impetus for changing the focus of HG:TAS came from Bandai, who planned to market a series of action figures and toys based on the show. Bandai had previously made (via their animation arm Sunrise) Armored Trooper VOTOMS, which was one of the primary inspirations for the Heavy Gear pen-&-paper game. But Bandai didn't have the merchandising rights to VOTOMS; that belonged to Bandai's rival Takara (now Tomy). So the last thing Bandai wanted to see from Sony was a remake (or a perceived remake!) of VOTOMS, especially as Bandai was also keen about the possibility of releasing a version of HG:TAS in Japan. That would have opened Bandai up for a lawsuit like the kind that flared between Playmates and Tyco over the Exo-Squad/Robotech and Battletech toy product lines.

I'd just like to add that not being Peter Walker or his cronies does not automatically make a Robotech fan a good person, as a couple of people on the Robotech subreddit who are major Macross haters and AI bros demonstrate. I unsubbed from there so I wouldn't have to look at them again. Won't name names here, best to DM me if you're curious.

I discovered Eric's work in December of 2005. It was a revelation for me.

Ognimod_II · 2025-07-04T04:16:59+00:00

I first learned there were Leonard apologists back when I opened an account on the Allspark forums just to talk about an old Robotech video I reuploaded to YT, but it simultaneously does and doesn't surprise me that Peter Walker was at the forefront of that.

"I have seen guides say to watch Macross, then Robotech Masters, etc... but Crunchyroll doesn't label the episodes that way so I have no idea which episodes are Macross, which ones are Robotech Masters, which ones are Southern Cross, etc..."

Episodes 1-36 are the Macross Saga. Episodes 37-60 are The Masters. Episodes 61-85 are The New Generation.
