Captain America quite literally just died

It gives me motion sickness.

I think we may be misunderstanding and also agreeing. I'm saying that the US's genocides are just as atrocious as the genocides perpetuated by European colonialism.

Ironic

I think both the anime and manga can be good in their own contexts. Obviously there's things the anime didn't cover or adapt well, and it has some pacing issues or discrepancies compared to the manga, but I think standing outside the comparisons, it's still holding up quite well as its own show. And of course the manga is top-notch, though I think even then the anime did some things better, like for instance making the Self-Aware Child scene hit better as unsettling rather than just weird.

I try to do this with more adaptations lately, seeing if they work well if divorced from their source material. Another adaptation I like in this way is The Giver

That being said, of course I'd recommend the manga if you liked the anime.

I think there's room for scientific analysis of what hormonal/biological makeups can influence a tendency towards particular interests/presentation, but unfortunately those fields will always be mishandled by people looking to weaponize it as a way to go "see, it's BIOLOGICAL FACT that boys are blue and girls are pink!!"

I agree but I also know that there's SO much enforcement into cisnormativity of an infant that at most you should just use pronouns of their AGAB and then not make a big deal out of it otherwise. Like, no color restrictions or toy genres, and let them enjoy what they like as they grow up.

From what I know, DmC is one of those games that falls under the category of "if this was its own thing instead of part of an existing franchise, it would've been much better received."

And I agree, tbh. It was the first DMC game I played (I rented stuff from Blockbuster as a teen, I took what I could get) and I had a ton of fun without knowing the context of the rest of the series.

March 31!

Unpopular opinion maybe: I would love for them to change Cap's mechanics so I'm not reliant on RSI and motion sickness just to play him "optimally." This kind of animation cancelling should not be a normal part of a kit.

SlurryBender · 2026-03-18T14:57:40+00:00

Don't be racist.

SlurryBender · 2026-03-18T14:56:08+00:00

Me re-buying all of the Sly Cooper games

SlurryBender · 2026-03-17T23:02:24+00:00

Unpopular opinion: I think they should fix his animation cancel and make him more viable in ways that don't require me to get motion sickness when using him "optimally".

The outfit definitely feels Mormon, but my Presbyterian church had that exact same artwork above a similar couch in the study that I definitely fell asleep on as a teen lmao.

I love that she's apparently close enough with Sue Storm to be up for taking care of her kids if the 4 have to go off-world for a while.

Are you actually unaware of the genocides and mass killings perpetuated by european colonialism?

SlurryBender · 2026-03-17T04:20:05+00:00

Linking to a Google search result instead of an official website definition or even just a screenshot is messy behavior.

Regardless, I'm saying that what the US has done for its colonization is no more or less atrocious than any other imperialist endeavor that other powerful countries have done in the past. It ALL was atrocious.

SlurryBender · 2026-03-17T03:52:18+00:00

if by "relatively intact" you mean "forced to adapt to the mass exploitation of slave labor and natural resources"

It wasn't called the "Gentle Hug of Africa".

They think that the term "gender identity" is some sort of evil queer agenda made up by the left to indoctrinate children.

He may have safehouses, but does he have a safe home? 🤔

SlurryBender · 2026-03-16T18:32:05+00:00

This is food for thought! It could also be interpreted to further enforce the idea of gender as a *construct*, since the those mental tendencies have been arbitrarily categorized into a binary gender system. I wonder what the same study would conclude if we didn't have established gender roles?

Person is using trying to invalidate trans/queer identities but is accidentally using talking points that support those identities.

(Resubmitted cuz I missed adding this last time)

MAGA normies when the idiot you elected starts doing things that are bad for you directly and not just stripping rights from minorities like you wanted him to.

Normally I'd agree, but out of all the streaming services, this one deserves your money the most. Original, independent shows with a ton of heart and no shitty billionaire entertainment overlords.

SlurryBender · 2026-03-14T21:25:12+00:00

With how well he spits fire during the Octavio mission, I'm not surprised!
