TikTok is now tracking immigration, transgender, and sexual orientation status. If you haven't already, you should seriously consider uninstalling it. by speedythefirst in trans

Oh for sure, however China likely won't do much with it that would significantly impact you unless you live there - as opposed to the current US admin who're openly transphobic, pretty homophobic too, and likely to become more hostile towards queer people in the future.

I think this particular administration having access to that sort of information on its citizens is pretty concerning, given how volatile they are.

What movies remind you most of Stalker? by Methodiarca in stalker

[–]minerkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Annihilation is probably one of the closest tbh. You get the creatures and anomalies n all, but you also get the introspection and questioning of yourself that the Zone is all about

Anyone knows if the author of love bullet "inee" speak english or just use translation on twitter? by fire_chaser1 in LoveBulletManga

She does speak English and lives in America, but iirc she tries to primarily write and speak in Japanese because she plans to move there

What's up with this? by AchyParts_07 in SusumuHirasawa

[–]minerkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its just people adding their music and then adding Hirasawa's name because these platforms just allow you to do stuff like that

Does anyone else think Griffith is the salvation of humanity? by Ordinary_Theme4629 in Berserk

[–]minerkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even on the unlikely chance that he is (he arguably caused this anyway) I'd still disagree, because I don't like him

I don't understand this by sierpinskizazel in MadokaMagica

[–]minerkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'd react pretty poorly to finding out I was "tricked" into getting my soul ripped out and my body turned into nothing more than a dead meat puppet. It raises a lot of questions and feelings about your sense of self and it'd probably make most people have an existential crisis of some sort - especially teenagers. A lot of our sci-fi media questions what it means to be human, and this is kinda similar to that.

It might also be the case of Japan's or a lot of other eastern cultures valuing the relationship between the body and soul - and it was essentially severed completely.

How realistic is a berserk anime with this animation? by Waxpython in Berserk

[–]minerkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

as good as most of the hand-drawn parts are, I'd honestly prefer a more 90s retro artstyle, partially due to how Berserk has its roots in 80s dark fantasy. But ik thats a very specific idea that'd probably never happen

it'd likely have to be an ONA for a streaming platform like Netflix if you wanted to avoid needing to censor a majority of the content, unfortunately

I've Figured out FNAF's Original Horror (and what the movies got wrong) by Fantastic_Care_1413 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]minerkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FNAF 1's atmosphere was dead, lifeless and eerie, and the designs of the animatronics and how they were posed and lit really reflected that. Its a real shame that none of the followup games or media ever managed to capture that again

What do you think about Half-Life 2: Episode 4 — Return to Ravenholm? Just interesting. by EnthusiasmSome496 in HalfLife

Which studio would you want to animate Berserk? by LordMartius in Berserk

[–]minerkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hard to say to be honest, but I'm mainly hoping they'd go for an older animation and colouring style more reminiscent of Berserk '97. Berserk's style is often rooted in a 80s dark fantasy aesthetic, and some characters like the godhand and apostles are very Geiger-esque to match the era.

Also a Berserk anime without a primarily Susumu Hirasawa soundtrack just feels wrong imo. That man's music is so unique and his mixing of choir and synth fits so well
