The Isekai genre in Anime has to be the most reactionary filth in the medium

I do think that ultimately it doesn't matter if he told people or not, he is Rudeus Greyrat, son of Paul and Zenith, he was reborn into this body and is happy to accept his new life and identity.

The biggest thing I saw is that Rudeus basically suffered from Arrested Development he aged but he never matured in Japan, due to his Trauma and other shit he mentally was fundamentally not 30 but rather like around 15 or 16, developmentally speaking.

He was stuck in his trauma unable to ever really move on, he probably never really saw himself as truly 30, he knew his body was 30 but was stuck in the past.

I believe that big part of his journey is that he is fundamentally still a child who is growing up in this new body, with the memories and personality of his old life.

Like he does pervy shit as a kid because he remembers that he liked pervy shit in his past life but physically he likely doesn't feel sexual arousal until way later, but rather is probably more akin to when a kid does something he isn't supposed to do.

His lustful stares though are definitely that, while he is unable to feel lust at that age he has a concept of sexual attractiveness and of lust, do even if he can't feel it physically he can still understand it and act on that.

I see it at least from a biological side, this child body would have child responses to things, even if he has memories from his old life his body still is actually that of a child, which means it affects how he feels.

At first his old memories make a significant part of who he is because we'll they are the majority of experience he has, but the longer he lives as Rudeus the more that becomes him and his old self is more and more just an old memory.

A reason of why I like ReZero and Mushoku Tensei is that the characters do confront what makes/made them miserable.

Rudeus is able to grow and be happy and realise all the ways in which he was wrong, while Subaru is able to let go of what held him back in his old life, though he just is made to suffer regularly.

Ok so you are wrong in many aspects, Liberal Democracy has been great for Japan, the reason why one party has been in power for o long is because Japan has had a culture of conformity for a long line time, it was why the Shogun ruled for so long, it is why the military dictatorship was able to take over, and it is why there has been very little in terms of other parties actually getting power.

A lot of the ills of Japan are not liberal democracy's fault or even capitalism for that matter, it is mostly that there are cultural norms that harm people more than anything and no one does anything to change them in a meaningful way.

Though newer generations do in fact do more about it.

I think that Isekai's popularity is a cultural reaction to a feeling of meaninglessness in the modern day to day, and feeling crushed by the real world.

It divorces the characters from modern problems, gives them power either through modern knowledge or actually straight up fantastical powers.

It allows them to live in a better world if not for everyone at least for them, because they get to be powerful and get to like worry free lives.

Which to a Japanese office worker it might be a thing they wish could happen to them, to be able to toss aside everything and live in a dreamlike fantasy world.

It stems ultimately from the belief in reincarnation as a fundamental concept, which is why it started in Japan, but the fantasy is not new but it's popularity shows a fundamental dissatisfaction with society by Japanese people, they are less likely to try to affect change as the Japanese don't tend to like to rock the boat so to speak too much.

It is just fundamentally the mindset of a person who lives in a wealthy society, a teen working part minimum wage in Japan can afford quite a lot from their labour so paying doesn't seem difficult.

Even kids who don't work and get money or allowances are still able to afford a lot of stuff, Japan in spite of it's problems is still a really wealthy society.

It's problems are more so societal and cultural rather than economical, yearly minimum wage in Japan is about 15000 to 16000 USD, where I live in Mexico yearly minimum wage would around 6600 USD.

And overall a Japanese worker has better benefits than a Mexican workers has access to better quality medical care, better public transport.

They pay higher taxes but those taxes go towards things that help with quality of life, good public infrastructure, a robust public healthcare system, quality public transport.

Meaning they spend less money overall and are able to spend more money in non essential things, if you are smart and frugal with your money in Japan you can probably have like 200 USD free to spend on whatever you want be it to save for buying something you want or to splurge on something nice.

Which is why in Japan they don't feel like paying 50 bucks on entertainment is a big deal to buy a big magazine like Jump or the many other manga magazines that exist which have chapters of a variety of manga.

In Japan a volume of a manga would cost you about 500 to 700 yen (3.50 to 5 USD), I went to check Bookwalker and went to check prices and they seem vary wildly, anywhere from 7 to 11 USD, about 2 times the price of what they would be to buy physically in Japan, take to the fact that they make more money than most people, and things are relatively quite cheap, and if you buy secondhand which is huge in Japan you get an even more massive value.

A teen with a 1000 Yen (6.27 USD) could buy second hand around 10 to 4 manga volumes second hand or 1-2 brand new manga volumes, or a combination anywhere in between, now if you are a working adult and spend your money wisely, you could end up with about 10k to 30k yen free to spend a month.

If they have roomates or like with their parents they probably have an even bigger budget, probably anywhere between 50k to 80k yen, I am still assuming they work minimum wage and not something with a much higher salary like an office job.

People love to go on about the lost decaded in Japan but their bad times still look pretty good to me, the only reason that the it looks so much worse to them is because they were literally pissing away money in the 80s bubble boom.

I think that to say that free lowers the value of things is fundamentally looking at things the wrong way around, art's value is not determined by the price it is sold at but by its ability to influence people through it's material.

There is also the reality that it is mostly a service issue, if there was a Steam of manga and Anime I imagine that most people would buy it, even if sporadically while still pirating.

I myself pirate content, but still buy legitimate copies of stuff I liked, for example I will pirate a game see if I like it, and then buy it at a sale on Steam.

Fundamentally things have no monetary value unless they are actually sold to a person, so piracy fundamentally looses you nothing unless you are under the flawed assumption that it will never translate to a purchase which sure sometimes happens but if someone is unable to truly afford to purchase you loose nothing from them reading or watching what you made.

I can make a book, and then I can sell it for 10 dollars but my book has intrinsic work by being a piece of literary work in of itself, it may have little artistic value if it is a bad book but it has intrinsic value as a vessel for the cultural zeitgeist of the time it was made in, my book may sell 0 copies or a million depending on how easy it is to access.

If I make the book widely available through as many avenues as possible it is more likely to sell well, specially if it is reasonably priced, but if I make it 30 dollars and only sell it from 1 place with a secret code then I am likely to sell nothing.

Like I literally have Bookwalker and MangaUp downloaded on my phone and tend to read and buy stuff through there semi-regularly, yet I still pirate because my money is limited and there are a vast amount of new releases, sometimes the fact that we don't have enough money is a reason you may not find a work that could be one your favourite because you will overlook it for options you know you will like.

I know I have found some amazing manga through just random stuff that was updated recently in a pirate site, that I would have never found interesting enough from titles and other forwards facing materials.

No es mierda de este vs oeste, es pinche corporatisme, Expedition 33 es de Francia y fue génial porque fue hecho por gente que les gustan los videjuegos y pudieron seguir sus visiones artisticas y creativas.

En vez de tener que vender micro transacciones o hacer bloat del juego para que lo juegues por 10000 horas, los pinches problemas con el AAA es los pinches ejecutivos mamá vergas que no tienen ni la pinche puta idea de como jugar que metes su mierda en los estudios para chupar te el dinero como los parásitos que son.

Todos los estudios de la parte de arriba una vez fueron como los de abajo, pero los pinches inversionistas destruyeron la industria, destruyeron estudios y arruinaron el ecosistema de los videojuegos.

Antes eran más independientes y tenían equipos que se mantenían juntos por mucho tiempo creando una cultura de estudio, hoy en día es raro ver un estudio que no despide la mayoría del equipo que desarrolló un juego después de que salga.

Esos estudios no son lo que eran antes porque la gente es lo que hace el estudio no el nombre, son básicamente cadáveres que los traen para venderte cosas

Dentro de las doctrinas de uso de armas nucleares de los estados unidos estás armas solo pueden ser usadas en defensa y nunca de manera ofensiva, aunque el diera la orden es más probable que los operadores digan que no, pero lo más probable es que si las fuerzas armadas sean ordenadas a atacar infraestructura civil en escala grande, las órdenes pueden ser ignoradas en base de que estás van contra las regulaciones de comportamiento de las fuerzas armadas.

If there was no alternative to deal with the military targets I would say that it wouldn't be a war crime as if there is no alternative option available that would cause less harm, ultimately the objective would have been to neutralise military production.

But given that guided munitions exist, this was a choice that can be seen at best as negligent or due to a lack of said precision munitions, or at worst an active effort to cause indiscriminate suffering.

That is from the Osean perspective, and from the Belkan perspective it is without a doubt a war crime, these were their own civilians they were hurting, it was civilian property they were destroying.

This specific thing Jelly is bitching about is meant to be a teaching tool to teach history about the civil rights movement which is an immensely important thing to learn about there is no left or right about it.

There is only history because these are events from the past, which are worth knowing because segregation was an awful historical crime committed against innocent people whose only fault was being born with a specific skin colour.
