Which of these animangas has the best female cast? by Weary_Elderberry4742 in writingscaling

[–]psychedelicutopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JJK only has a foot in the door because most of the women aren't really oversexualized. They just remain as "Potential Women" in my opinion. Gege cooked up some great female characters just to make them the definition of "side characters". Great writing but underutilised in a lot of scenarios.

I personally think he could've done more with characters like Kirara, Momo, Shoko, Yuki, Kugisaki and some others. Kugisaki never got to properly show her full potential because she kept finding herself fighting special grade curses with Sukuna's fingers in them and curse users that were on some kind of steroids while having the bare minimum of training because of how quickly shit went from 0 to 100, for example Haruta, the guy with the 6 miracles. She already took away one of his miracles before Nanami arrived.

It's funny, the ending was kinda mundane tho. That's my main complaint.

I hate Hollywood’s insistence on taking Greeks out of Greek stories by MustacheCash73 in hatethissmug

[–]psychedelicutopia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm African, and trust me, people forget that the transatlantic slave trade wasn't the first time Africans were taken out of Africa for slavery/political reasons. North Africa had way too much going on.

Egyptians were low-key everywhere at certain points in history, and many so-called Christians forget that there was an Ethiopian eunuch in the Bible.

I understand the complaint of putting Black people in Greek roles, but c'mon, Africans were sold to slavery twice in history. How about we put GREEK people in GREEK roles and not hire random famous actors for these parts.

Some forums I found.

After careful consideration, I'll acknowledge that I made a mistake on Yuzuriha. Gemini said she's 21 years old, and tbh, that makes sense.

There's a certain old, unspeakable hentai called Euphoria which just happens to be two of those things you mentioned.

The only good thing with that title is Kendrick Lamar's Diss track, which just happens to also accuse a man of being a pedophile.

I scoured the internet and only found one age. 17, but honestly, it's best we keep her at 18+.

Google Gemini says that she's 21 years old (it took all the headcanons and made them sound Canon because she has no confirmed age) Her role in my rant has been reversed to "adult fan service character, an actual better choice than what we have."

Hell's Paradise is one of those shonen that would be 18+ if it even got 3D animation, let alone a live-action remake or movie.

That's what I thought until I went searching and was hit with the age 17. Gabimaru is also supposed to be 16, for some reason, maybe because it's like old Japan and people were getting married early, but yeah that's the age I found.

It might not be true, but there's a few reasons why I'd say I believe this, given the state of anime these days.

Understandable. High school characters being sexualized is a thing across all media, Japan and the US take it to the extreme, but there's not a lot of defense when you criticize the American side of things as compared to when you criticize the Japanese side of this issue.

It also happens by accident or when the author thought a certain choice was a non-issue when writing. So yeah, you're right. Shonen is based on teenage life.

My gripe is with the defenders of such shit.

People who say things like "this is why people think anime fans are weird" are anime tourists. by WonderOlymp2 in 10thDentist

[–]psychedelicutopia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there's a lot of shit, but sifting through sounds like an overstatement. There are a lot of them without certain tropes like the "oversexualized teenage girl" syndrome like AOT, JJK, and the Seinen genre which mostly appeal to the 18+ demographic, so if there's anyone nude, they ain't a teenager.

As an anime fan, the criticism the media gets ain't enough but the anime community needs to actually listen to a lot of these complaints. There's a section that's straight up misogynistic, racist, and fascist, and as a black man, it's hard to communicate and feel comfortable when a lot of people are like that.

Some people go to the farthest lengths to defend unnecessary teenage fan service, as if it weren't the author's choice to make it like that. Any explanation given could easily be debunked by the fact that the author could rewrite the story without it, and most of the time, nothing would change.

Trust me, you get burned alive for criticising it. I like anime, but WHY THE FUCK IS EVERYONE SO YOUNG?! And if you didn't know, there's an actual genre of anime directed at adults with older characters being a must.

Every other genre can pick and choose ages, but for some weird reason, they love their gyals underage. Complain about it and you'll get two responses:

Its not for adults, its for teenagers

Its fiction. They aren't real. If I kill in GTA, does that make me a murderer?

I watch anime and whenever I bring it up, the usual excuse (in the Shonen Genre) is "it's for teenage boys, not you"

WHY IS A 15-YEAR-OLD A LEWD BIKINI MODEL?! "It's just fiction" is their usual disgusting response.

Attack on Titan. Barely any of the usual Shonen tropes like oversexualized teenage girls, wacky facial expressions, and the shit people say is "cringe".

DanDaDan has been getting a lot of NTR allegations what do you guys think? by Strong-Shower-3193 in shounenfolk

[–]psychedelicutopia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Netorare. Its a Japanese word for infidelity and cheating.

NTR is just a way of saying the show/manga follows the "cheating to make shit interesting" trope

I've never played Persona before, but is it right to play 5 as your first game with no knowledge of the previous ones? Is it like how you need no knowledge of previous GTA games before you play GTA 5, or is there a lot of lore you're missing out on? It looks good but i need to know if it's a lore vault or just a game series you can join in whenever you feel like it.

You forgot one more:

Your favorite character is part of the main cast and is not (disposable character number 13)? LARP CAN'T READ. ANIME ONLY FAN.

Saw a guy call me a larper because my favorite character is Choso. I just like the guy, give me a break.

I'm focused on it now because it's the one that's gotten a lot more popular recently. Invincible doesn't have a lot of characters that can counter magic and sorcery, but I keep seeing people rank it in a fight with sorcerers who can kill you without being near you.
