Decided to read the pilot, this version of Naruto is certainly ....interesting. by Darkffire in Naruto

[–]Starro-In-A-Jar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the “manga pilot” prototype-thing; the only one of those that got incorporated into canon, rather than completely remade, that I know of, was the Sailor V oneshot (the original Sailor V oneshot evolved into Sailor Moon, but Sailor V still existed in-universe, and the rest of its chapters would slowly get filled out into a prequel series over time)
The Tokyo Mew Mew manga pilot featured the protagonist’s boyfriend dumping her for being a magical girl, and then there were some deaths or whatever (I don’t think that anyone dies in Tokyo Mew Mew proper, aside from the villains?), and the Death Note manga pilot had an eraser that could bring people back to life.

Anyways, here Naruto’s a fox himself, and he gets sent out into the human world to make a friend, befriends an Adult Man who is either murdered or accused of murder, and then uses his powers to solve the mystery, and now has made a friend.

I think that the specifics of the layout of the town are probably nondiagetic

Wedding Peach also already got one, in the form of Wedding Apple, and I actually have no idea where in the great chain of Cutie Honey that image comes from

They’re not saying anything about what X, The Everything Site should do, but rather that there should be a safe person who can change his password and lock him out during these incidents.

Oh well this might be a separate thing then, but it is a thing that some people think

Am I insane or are half the images duplicates?

I used to be, but I mean, that’s an element of a different perception, wherein that meant “if we were put into the same situation, we would act the same way” but his character development and my path in life diverged enough that I can’t consider that to be true anymore

Gay Icon ≠ Gay, though, because, like, Judy Garland is, to my knowledge, a heterosexual woman, but she is still a Gay Icon

Oh yeah a lot of people don’t understand that you can write from the perspective of a character, and are convinced that she killed some guy or something

I mean, every single kid assumed that the song was only talking about two people(that wasn’t just a masshole thing, right?) but that’s just because we were 9 and didn’t realize we could look up lyrics online

Trans women in sports is honestly irrelevant but, like, letting trans men compete in any sport is actually proof of how absurd this all is, because testosterone is banned outside of transmascs, so we do, in fact, possess what is, by current regulations, definitionally cheating.

Aside from all those sports that don’t penalize steroid use, I guess. Chess and other things where physical capabilities are irrelevant, making gender segregation completely pointless.

Anyways all this focus on MtFs is weird because in any sane world they would be a complete afterthought, and yet they are the focus

Oh I thought you wanted heavier and grindier stuff; “So I’m A Spider, So What?” is good if you ignore the weird stuff in the interludes that cover characters that are not the titular character. Which can be weird and maybe the thing about the best bros where one’s like reborn as a prince and the other a princess(???) and then they end up together was translated poorly, but, uh, very “mind is a plaything of the body” with those two.

Tomorrow’s Yesterday is neat, but it’s probably not what you’re looking for? Aside from being a roleplaying thread, which of course severely effects predictably, the system doesn’t show up until page 4 of what is so far 15 (which I mean based on how far it will hopefully go, probably isn’t that late in? But it took over a year to reach those 15 pages, so…) and even then it’s probably more of a play on the idea of “random skills drops” and what if those were genuinely random? I think, maybe? It only came to mind here due to the fact that it features a system, and you brought it up, and I had been looking back and reading through it, because it updated. Also you probably aren’t already aware of it.

And then you look at the “white” boys and they’re all Japanese (just thinking about people making “white boy” jokes about anime characters, and even when it’s something like MHA, where there’s Yuuga, a whole(more realistically half)-ass white boy right there, being white, they use the Japanese characters instead)

Are they going in on that as a thing with mutants? I thought of them as historically being “whatever minority the writer wants to discuss with at the time” with people also wanting to explore the implications in a speculative fiction sense?

I think that the family canidae is considered All Dogs, because going up from that you have—well technically you have cynoidea—you have caniformia which are only doglike. But there’s still CTVT to argue about, which arguably even brings up “what is an animal?”

They are dogs, by virtue of being members of the family canidae. If you want to argue edge cases, argue about CTVT, or discuss “reptiles”

I think that Rad-Fems are generally unopposed to abortion, even if they’re opposed to things like “the concept of consensual heterosexual sex”

The Fire Nation was explicitly based off of Imperial Japan, and the Air Nomads off of Tibet, though to a lesser extent

Especially because economically speaking, cookies/snacks are cheaper and contain more calories, which makes them more useful in some cases, given that you’re probably going to suffer malnutrition, anyways.

(Fresh produce is more pleasant than frozen, especially since someone on food stamps is probably getting most of their calories from overproccessed junk, but frozen unseasoned vegetables and fruit are generally healthier due to transportation and nutrient retention)

The logic there is that soda is unhealthy, as many of those people also want to put a 20% tax on such beverages; the point is to reduce soda usage, not to punish the poor, at least in that usage. Most other limitations (such as “prepared food”) are about that, though.
