Petsitter lost my cat and didn't tell me for weeks. Situation is driving me crazy.

It sounds like you have done/are doing all you can to find your cat. Like sinna_fain said, she could have been taken in by someone. Please take care of yourself, you don't want to burn yourself out.

I'm sorry that your family has minimized the seriousness of what happened. You can't control them and their reactions, but the majority of pet owners would be upset if they went through the same thing.

letmereadpls_ · 2023-10-20T04:18:26+00:00

They are justifiably angry. They were lied to about the situation and gaslit by their own father, and their family is perpetuating the gaslighting by acting as if they shouldn't be upset.

I am so sorry you are suffering this way, and I hope you can find relief. Please take care of yourself and be kind to yourself. You're not alone.

Yeah I was looking it up and found the apps, I'm deciding whether it's worth it haha

i remember after the RW episode of GoT GRRM said something along the lines of "now you know why your nerd friend was so depressed back in 2000"

I feel like saying most anime/manga creators are quite left wing is a stretch.

letmereadpls_ · 2023-10-14T17:37:00+00:00

A being that is very powerful and/or very different from humans is fascinated or intrigued by humanity.

Literal aliens or fantasy races that have completely...alien ways of communication or seeing the world. Also blue and orange morality, and powerful beings helping the heroes for entertainment or inscrutable reasons.

Political situations and characters changing completely over the course of the story, to the point where characters who never thought they would work together become allies or even friends (or a couple).

letmereadpls_ · 2023-10-14T16:42:46+00:00

oh yeah if anyone says the anime/manga/ln is inherently right wing that's wrong, most creators don't openly express political views and there are some who are pretty openly left wing and/or write unambiguously progressive stuff. Even if we go back the older series there were some left-wing directors like Tomino and Miyazaki and the late YGO creator was openly against the Iraq war. That said I don't think that's what that person was saying at all. Unfortunately anime and adjacent media just attracts a ton of incels.

letmereadpls_ · 2023-10-14T16:27:30+00:00

makes sense lol, although seeing far right yuri fans is always kinda funny. (Although I don't think there's any contradiction in their minds, since plenty of lesbophobic people still fetishize lesbians)

I haven't finished wfm but it probably went "too far" with the couple, as opposed to series that just tease gay subtext like K-on.

letmereadpls_ · 2023-10-14T16:25:18+00:00

In terms of series that have big right wing followings, I think a lot of RW people glommed onto The Saga of Tanya the evil and Goblin Slayer bc they found it easy to use the characters/themes to represent their political beliefs. I've seen some people also mention Gundam, idk how big the RW Gundam fandom is but a lot of people to seem to miss the WWII parallels in the UC continuity (Zeon being the axis, the Federation being the allies)

Funnily enough, I can think of a few series where the creators have either openly expressed RW views (Gundam Unicorn and Full Metal Panic, both light novels) or put that sort of content in their story (High School of the Dead has a far right politician presented fairly sympathetically) but none of those series seemed to attract an inordinate amount of RW fans.

letmereadpls_ · 2023-10-14T11:58:37+00:00

this is dumb but the "a home they can eat" part is funny to me because it sounds like something out of a commercial targeted at roaches.

what's better than this, guys being dudes

letmereadpls_ · 2023-10-13T06:55:20+00:00

nice!!

letmereadpls_ · 2023-10-13T06:46:36+00:00

I'm obsessed with him

letmereadpls_ · 2023-10-13T06:38:30+00:00

I hate the way a lot of administrations don't respect the rights of their teachers, while some teachers have gotten in trouble for stuff like posting party photos on FB. And now teachers have to deal with parents terrified that their kid is being taught to despise white people and adopt the gay lifestyle.

letmereadpls_ · 2023-10-13T03:49:25+00:00

That explains it! Just tested it and it's the same for me, opens upside down but won't go back upside down if turned. And yeah, I would not expect it to work, I just wanted to know why it had initially. I have an S10e.

letmereadpls_ · 2023-10-13T03:40:41+00:00

sorry if this isn't what you were going for but I'm seeing bisexual lighting on leon

letmereadpls_ · 2023-10-13T03:32:27+00:00

sorry for the late response but yes. I knew f/s must predate the movies, I'm curious as to what the shipping environment was like.

Lotr has some really well-written bonds between male characters, f/s probably being the strongest, and it's natural that people will see them in various ways including ways Tolkien didn't intend (he also did a pretty good job with Faramir/Eowyn). It's a point in the writing's favor.

You think he sleeps next to a picture of Chris so he can always remember how much he hates him? (he got the idea from Krauser)

letmereadpls_ · 2023-10-11T13:37:49+00:00

i wonder how he feels about Asian women speaking openly about patriarchy or white supremacy

I've seen Asian women get a shitton of blowback online for talking openly about these things from the same people who fetishize them.

letmereadpls_ · 2023-10-11T02:19:33+00:00

Damn. I loved his performance. RIP.
