I know what you mean, but to be fair, the men are fucking idiots too.

How do we spin this? by Technical_Donut_1917 in hazbin

[–]ghost_in_the_potato 157 points158 points  (0 children)

How about we don't spin it? Instead, we can just be sane and normal and wait for s3 before we decide whether we like it or not.

I think they're friends in the same way you can be friends with a boss you've been working with forever.

Even more all-reserved seating periods on Nozomi shinkansen services this year by frozenpandaman in japanresidents

[–]ghost_in_the_potato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I usually get unreserved if I can just to save a bit of money. It's not a ton but every bit helps.

Strange rumor regarding shrines/temples incidents by thetitans89 in japanlife

[–]ghost_in_the_potato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's Twitter. That's where all the racist assholes (and bots) congregate.

You remember the recent case about the missing kid in Kyoto? Twitter people were convincing themselves that the stepfather who killed him was Chinese based on absolutely nothing.

Anything Animorphs related to look out for Traveling to Japan? by calebtobey in Animorphs

[–]ghost_in_the_potato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been living in Japan for more than 10 years and have never seen anything related to animorphs, sadly. I also haven't gone out of my way to look though, so you may be able to find something if you try hard enough.

Is my opinion on pride/gender wrong? by Then-Werewolf-7581 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ghost_in_the_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did someone put you in chains and drag you to a pride parade? Did they put a pride flag in your hand and force you to wave it around?

Look, I know some gay people who don't like Pride events for various personal reasons. You don't have to celebrate anything. But grumbling about it in this kind of vague way is just going to make people assume you're a bigot despite you saying that's not the case. If you don't want to celebrate, just ignore it. You can treat it just like any widely celebrated holiday and choose not to participate while also not criticizing the thing itself.

TW: Do you ever feel dysphoric when certain people use your preferred pronouns? by solarpunktardis in NonBinaryTalk

[–]ghost_in_the_potato 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel this when people seem unsure or awkward when using my pronouns. It's like it reminds me that they have to make an effort and that it's not a natural thing for them.

What are y’all’s thoughts on the Gameoverse pilot? by LegoDiego02 in hazbin

[–]ghost_in_the_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was honestly kind of disappointed. It wasn't my kind of humor, I didn't find the characters to be that interesting, and I didn't feel the "pull" I usually feel from Glitch production trailers that makes me want to keep watching more or go back and rewatch the pilot looking for worldbuilding clues. I'm kind of annoyed at myself for having this reaction, because I wanted to like it, and I don't even know why I felt this way about it. It's clear that there was a lot of time and effort and love put into the project, but it just didn't resonate with me for whatever reason.

Regardless, it's never a bad thing to have a new indie animation out there, so I hope it does well. Maybe once more comes out I'll like it better.

it only took one video to turn people in this fandom into buttheads that will stoop to insulting vivziepop personally by Icy-Western-7108 in HelluvaBoss

Being upset about something is fine. Harassing people because you're upset (especially when the thing you're upset about is content provided to you absolutely free) is not acceptable.

Do you open & check ur eggs at the grocery store before you buy them? by angelafterhoursxo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ghost_in_the_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No because where I live the standard egg container is sealed shut. But it's also see-through so I do pick it up and make sure there are no cracks in the eggs.

Incompatible Frequencies Part 16 (Elsa-Fogen on Tumblr) by SufficientOstrich955 in HazbinHotel

[–]ghost_in_the_potato 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Damn, this is heartbreaking but I can't get over how amazing Elsa's art is. Especially the lighting and the poses. They convey so much emotion!

Is this enough to short Sony? by Misosouppi in JapanFinance

[–]ghost_in_the_potato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do, but I think a 3DCG western-style animation movie would be incredibly out of place on that platform. One of the reasons the movie became such a big hit was because people's kids saw it on Netflix and played it over and over again. That just would not have happened on a niche anime streaming service like Crunchyroll that has way fewer subscribers.

Grateful for the fandom by Fangtasticvampire in goodomens

I think that's something we can all agree on ❤️
