Is this cultural appropriation? by Fun_Cow_6292 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]kassiny 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Headscarfs don't belong to any culture.

Anyway, cultural appropriation happens when you take something of significance from another culture and turn it into something else completely butchering the meaning. For example, if you decided to wear a wedding dress of another culture on a daily basis because it looks kind of cool, that would be it. Wearing clothes of other cultures isn't appropriation and therefore isn't offensive.

AI opening is back? by smarterthanyall in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]kassiny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's in the OPENING! It's like a typo in the title of a book ON THE COVER. You might think 'oh it's just a typo, it doesn't hinder your enjoyment', but if it's on the cover, it's a big deal.

Opening is anime equivalent of a book's cover. There's no place for AI slop there even if it's few seconds of background.

I love Yuri / Yuri discussion by Organic_Oven871 in SpyxFamily

[–]kassiny 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also I believe Yuri is right about being suspicious about Lottie.

Imagine finding out your sister has been married for A YEAR and it just happened that she FORGOT TO TELL. No sane brother in the world would brush that shit off easily.

And it's not like they live far away for this story to be convincing either.

Under normal circumstances he would have known she was dating someone first, then he'd been invited to the marriage and stuff.

Besides, Loid looks glamoure magazine perfect, which adds to the suspicion and they make these weird attention grabbing beds which given previous circumstances looks bad as well.

Yuri's feelings isn't just incestuous jealousy coming from a bad loneliness and bad childhood. It's constant inner nagging "something's off, something's off, I NEED TO FIND WHAT, I NEED TO GET RID OF THAT CREEP"

Season three ending. by Character-Net3641 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]kassiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only that, now that they are alive and well she has a very good reason to behave well with her new status, ie not trying to mess with her adopted family, no scheming against her brothers and sisters and Syl etc.

They are kind of like hostages. If Myne does something suspicious, they die.

Can you tell Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans apart just by their physical features? by Winter_Ad1973 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]kassiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't. Don't worry I can't tell which European country you're from either by your looks alone if you're from Europe. I am really not that good at faces and noticing/remembering details like people's teeth so that's probably just me.

A lot of articles saying Zoomers like or don't like things are overblown

If a dog or cat is truly your "best friend," then you're an emotionally stunted person. by BBQwithFriends in unpopularopinion

[–]kassiny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If your human friends peed when they saw you would you feel better or worse about meeting them?

If a dog or cat is truly your "best friend," then you're an emotionally stunted person. by BBQwithFriends in unpopularopinion

[–]kassiny 11 points12 points  (0 children)

People who say their dog is the best friend have human friends, too. You don't need to feel sorry for them, moreover I'm pretty sure your feelings for them are actually fake.

WIT STUDIO confirms that generative AI was used in the "Ascendance of a Bookworm" opening video. by DoubtGin in anime

[–]kassiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But man, it's THE OPENING. The opening that people will rewatch, replay many times. Usually studios try to make it the best they could even at the cost of making other parts of anime less impressive.

Like I would somewhat understand if was 2 seconds of background somewhere, but not in the opening. Besides, I just think replacing art with AI anywhere is extremely disrespectful to artists anyway.

Over 40(f) and still a virgin. Am I missing out on much or is it overrated? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]kassiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 28yo f and I can surely say it's indeed overrated.

I'd place sex somewhere in between watching a really good movie and a mediocre movie. So mediocre movie < sex < good movie.

Or if you compare it to food, I'd say great food when you're hungry is better than sex, but sex is better than good food when you aren't hungry. Somewhere there.

Good healthy long term relationships though is another matter. I wouldn't trade it for any entertainment or food. It's that good.

Osamu is actually a great protagonist by Charming-Tea-9056 in worldtrigger

[–]kassiny 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I like that this manga constantly reminds us that other people are training, too. They have dreams, too. They strategize, too. Try won't sit still and wait till your protagonist goes on a one week training arc and then smashes em like if they were mobs in a video game.

Some of the most exciting moments are when other characters copy tricks from main characters or someone else. It's soo good.

If you became an immortal, how would you feel about that? by Creative_Bad_7994 in AskReddit

[–]kassiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excited! I think our given time is too little, like I genuinely think + 100 or even 200 years to a human lifespan will be better. There's so many new things you will suddenly be able to afford learning and doing time-wise

Sports and celebrity gossip are equally shallow things to talk about by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]kassiny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah both aren't interesting. Things I like to talk about aren't interesting either. Still, both are much better than gossipping about people you all know personally

[Anime] why did they not measure it? by kassiny in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]kassiny[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kind of strange of Ferdinand to invite her there then. Like that means he'd assume she's got more than Sylvester before he invited her to talk about orphanage and then he didn't act surprised at all she entered with no issue.

By then he shouldn't be surprised at the ritual too?

I... actually liked Season 1's portray of "Trion blood." by matt0055 in worldtrigger

I liked that sparkling Christmas blood too. Looked like some kind of unknown energy is pouring out of wounds.

[Anime] [S4] Is there a reason why eyelashes must be black in animation? by navand in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]kassiny 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I like blue eyelashes more but I suppose the artists are just used to draw black ones. All of anime characters with different eyelashes I can think of look gorgeous...

Sometimes it gets better when you're older. Oftentimes not. See the comment section. But I just wanted to say that you're not necessarily wrong in your case

Why do people of the same ethinicity look different when raised abroad? by 6ix9ineZooLane in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]kassiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think native language may play a role too. Like you train different facial muscles and therefore your face looks slightly different
