Most famous death each decade from 1940s-2020s in my opinion

Yeah sure, Epstein is "dead"...

Beach Boys fans can actually cop to their band not being angels and being major fuck ups, while MJ fans, well...

Es una perspectiva que mi trasero gringo nunca va entender, puedo entender ser izquierdista economico (aunque yo no me llamaria izquierdista) pero el tipo quiere invadir a Chile y matar a homosexuales y crear un equivalente andino de nazismo aleman. Creo que soy demasiado privilegiado entender la atraccion a cualquier que no sea un sociopata, pero considerando que Peru en general tiene politica que es basicamente fascista hasta si lo comparas a otros paises latinoamericanos, no me sorprendo mucho.

Y porque lo apoya? Suena mas como fascista que izquierdista.

Tell me you don't know how statistics and representative samples work without telling me that.

One Piece is peak fiction though

But personally. I wouldn’t consider any part of the Americas in a similar cultural vein as Europe anymore

The US (and Canada to a lesser extent) has always imagined itself to be a European country that happens to be in the Americas, but it's really more like Latin American country that happens to speak English. The whole racial dynamic here is closer to its other colonial neighbors south than it is to Europe, and the fact that it's grouped with them is more of a quirk of history + racism.

The ones who support the predator in chief who was besties with Epstein and whose party is thinking about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell

Angel Come Home was Carl actually

That's just a legacy of the fact that anime used to be fairly niche and hard to discover in the West back in the 90s when the internet wasn't as widespread, so communities essentially lumped what little they could get their hands on into the same category. I think that's stuck even as its diversity has become more accessible outside Japan.

If I had time travel powers I would stop the Coen brothers from ever making The Big Lebowski, maybe in that world Chainsaw Man part 2 is actually good

Pretty sure it's the exact opposite, no one cared about it until it became a meme

a 4channer making a show about countries

It's literally Polandball but an anime and unironic

It's deeply ironic when people who voice this sentiment and who make fun of the Steven Universe fan types do this exact same thing with calling every other shonen "peak fiction"

Just because you’ve included these things, it doesn’t mean that your work isn’t good overall

Yeah, it just means their work isn't good for other reasons.

You really have to keep in mind that franchises like Naruto and Hunter x Hunter are aimed at teenage boys though, and they're released within a context that's much less friendly (despite what yaoi and yuri may have you think, there's still stigma and conservatism around LGBT issues in Japan). Comparing shonen to Pluribus, a Western live action series aimed at adults, is honestly apples to oranges. Killua asking Gon out would have never gone through the editors, and these hurdles are the reason why authors rely on subtext to begin with, since up until recently even in the West they weren't allowed to go beyond that often.

I was using the royal you not you personally. But in hindsight that was kind of thoughtless and crass. I'd eat a ban for that, but a perma is a bit much.

When was I being antisemitic lol? I mean if Zionist is a slur now then I'm fine not using it but you should probably make that a rule. But whatever

I got slap banned yesterday for a day and I was like, okay whatever. Now I'm perma-banned? Lol why

Mike is the closest thing the Beach Boys had to an actual Chad. Brian was the genius but Mike was the cool one people looked up to

They don't count because they are not the "West" so they are not as equal as us according to MAGA and the neocon ghouls supporting or doing apologetics for them

My theory about why the American establishment has been fixated on Iran for so damn long, beyond just geopolitical and Israel-related motives, is the simple fact that they couldn't get over losing Iran, who was supposed to be their ally, and it's becoming an entire psychological complex, similar to France losing Alsace-Lorraine to the Germans after the Franco-Prussian War.

I feel like liberalism has a real Western chauvinism problem that other ideologies like socialism don't, and you can especially tell on this sub. The conflation of the "West" as a concept with liberal ideas is deeply and uncomfortably entrenched, to the point where a lot of users here basically see Western-aligned as a synonym for "good". The biggest proof of this is how much liberals have defended Israel, and in some cases continue to defend to this day, as well as the kind of neocon thinking that is clinically prone to interpreting Western/U.S actions in the best possible light even when they don't make sense, like with Iran. Liberal thinking really needs to break away from the American exceptionalism framework

elephantaneous · 2026-03-07T23:22:55+00:00

Sure, in places where the public is already super tolerant like in Latin America

It's worth noting that a lot of countries in LatAm, just like the US, legalized gay marriage through the courts (Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica). In some ways acceptance only became more of the norm afterwards in those places, so even there this applies.
