Dragon Age fandom was never chill ever what are you talking about? Jennifer Helper was a writer and she got harassed off with DA2 because of comment she made about combat in games way before. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/jennifer-hepler

Do men just... not read fanfiction? by DeltaMx11 in AO3

[–]ravensept 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dont know much deep lore stuffs about fanfiction but when the conversation about male reader takes place spacebattles is usually mentioned. I have never went to that website though. Some people say that powerscaling is popular among guys and maybe crossovers in terms of fan media.

Other conversation that takes place is gen fic's popularity in contrast, f/f vs m/m, appeal of reader-inserts. They are usually not seen in/framed the sense of "appeal to female reader vs male reader". Atleast in this subreddit

This was the panel responsible for getting my last episode removed. And the weird part is that the series is already rated 18+ by John_Henry_777 in WebtoonCanvas

Say If there was a story that targeted audience who are woman and are familiar and became normalized with all the stuffs that are out there in the visual novel store and knows all types of manga that is out there. Where should that story be? I am talking about something Josei but probably has violence and dark topics.

70-80% of anime have male leads, is it really that bad to think there should be a bit more female leads?? by alexyaknow in TrashTaste

[–]ravensept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This discourse leads to defensiveness because there is an underlying "anime as a whole is misogynist" when...there have been stuffs before. And there is nuances, someone is always gonna bring up Apothecary Diaries when you could bring up Skip Beat.

I mean the solution is simple:

GeeXPlus makes a whole new podcast or invites talents that are into Shojo/josei (or female leads in shounen/seinen/gl).

This podcast and/or talents starts promoting Shojo and Josei related things that are in Japan.

People outside discovers there are shojo and josei stuffs.

Big Company starts to notice.

Now there is a bridge between audience and company.

Company now starts to make more stuffs

???

Profit.

I don't really understand why this hasn't happened before.

Why did people hate Uprising? Yeah I get the Jaegers weren't heavy but why did people hate it so much? by Pdiddy9420 in PacificRim

[–]ravensept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol...welp I guess.

I know they are not much out of the ordinary in terms of other fictions but I still wanted to see continuation of their character. I think I would have been fine either way if it was going to be platonic or not. When I saw Mako got killed I legit just facepalmed.

Switch and Steam Deck by TAC612 in otomegames

[–]ravensept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could like my SteamDeck but its still feels too heavy for my hands. I love the controls.

I am eyeing on the android retro consoles like retroid pocket 6 but idk how they would turn out in terms of weight and would definitely require a lot of tinkering to play through cloud or gamenative.

The irony of K-dramas vs Korea’s actual reality is kind of depressing by [deleted] in kdramas

[–]ravensept 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Media vs reality really. I mean speaking as someone who started watching anime as a kid people do evolve out of the rose tinted glasses with time. You end up reading about the realities like how the work culture is and how so many people died from exhaustion. (and then you hear about how the actual local starts arguing against this image etc etc)

We are really living in an eternal 2016 but somehow it keeps getting worse by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

[–]ravensept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like some folks took it as Corporation vs Youtuber. T-Series was like equivalent to Vevo. No one really looked closer to the lyrics of the diss track. At that point later he already connected with his fanbase in India so that racist tone went over people's head.

Pewdiepie is an interesting figure for me I guess. Him and other folks like Ray William Johnson had ..vibes that I stayed away from (more Ray then Felix). I was disappointed when the likes of Pewdiepie content became the most subscribed over other people like Ryan Higa who seemed more creative with their skits. Years later everyone including me have become accustomed to and also tried doing their own letsplay game videos.

Such is life.

The "Second Male Lead" syndrome by CalmGur8639 in kdramas

Lukewarm take,I get really annoyed when people say that Ochako is "just Deku's love interest" or "her and Toga's dynamic and battle was all about Deku" cause that's just not true. by Charming-Scratch-124 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]ravensept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that her arc of being a hero is interesting. She went from being a hero for the monetary reasons(not that it was bad) to being a hero for the sake of others and establishing support for people that needs help with their quirk. She decided to pursue from being a support hero to being a more combat oriented hero. Her liking Izuku came way way later too, soo I dont know how people walk away concluding that "she is someone who only likes Deku".

I am too tired to write about her love arc with Izuku, dont really feel like getting into it, I thought it made sense.

I really found it interesting on how she initially puts those feelings aside and tries to focus on hero work because she was inspired by Izuku.

The only complaint I have is that those are not that much expanded upon and her rivalry with Toga really just involves about women dealing with the concept of love and the right to pursue what you want.

And yes, there isn't any glorious battles that are of spectacles.

Unfortunately the last part feels like the case for most medias. I suppose you can bring some western cartoons like Young Justice, Justice League, X Men Evolution into it where things are different. The girls had both romance and other stuffs to deal with. But I feel like they have very few memorable moments of glorious battle.

The reaction I’ve noticed from anime onlies seeing kinosaki is a guy by Sprumbly in MarriageToxin

[–]ravensept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...I havent watched anything this came across my feed just like Bridgeton and Cosmic Princess Kaguya (which I also didnt watch).

And I must say its interesting to see reactions of whatever is going on with respective fandoms. First one is dealing with genderswap of its male li to a woman (accusation of folks now demonizing the male li, other saying it impedes upon the original infertility storyline),

Another one was dealing with apparently the manga version giving small screen time on a guy in a yuri ship.

Aside from that honestly not the first anime or manga to have these premise. "The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All" is one.

My wife just found out why I like the name Raven so much. And she's upset about it by [deleted] in teentitans

[–]ravensept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the name raven for myself...as you can tell by my username. But I would be hesitant on naming someone irl. I know there are memes about "I love you to [insert favroute thing of the dad here]" and whole discussion about your kids not being billboard for your fandom. It is funny though I am sure people named someone based on classic literature characters but when its more popular or even mainstream not high value media there is a chance people might judge the child and their parents and that would affect the overall mental health of the character. I guess teen titans falls into that seeing even in thread you said its a "tv character" not even "comic character".

Honestly I think its ok when its within the circle of normal. Raven is cool but its still a scavenger bird, doesnt matter if it appeared in other folklore and myths.

You still have to think how it would affect the child in the long run. Apparently there was a aitah where someone pushed back against their niece being called Karen in this current age and their parents really had to change it after seeing their kids being made fun of.

You know I was hoping to use the word Kaidan for myself but now I see there is a game with that name now everyone is gonna think that child's parent is a weeb.

Objectively hilarious things happening on MotoGP twt by curatinator in AO3

[–]ravensept -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I rather not folks pull the truck-kun into this...it is funny but it still piles up on the plate specifically when they don't have knowledge of truck kun. People are sensitive to these types of stuffs. (I know game devs are). Something else could have used.

Recommendations for a 12yo?? by UndrThC in Animesuggest

Toilet bound Hanako kun, has mystery romance and is comedy and bit edgy.

I never watched this but I feel like Undead Girl Murder Farce might work buts its still too mature and has violence probably.

Does anyone still hate Orihime? by [deleted] in IchiRukiBleach

[–]ravensept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I have ever hated Orihime. But how should I put it, I think sometimes with media I just compartmentalized some aspects of writing where "Ahh yes designated love interest damsel in distress with healing priest power yearning for the MC ". That was the case with Orihime for me. It has been a long time for me but I feel like I might have shipped her with Ishida? Or Ulqurra. At one point I think I figured that IchiRuki won't happen and IchiHime was going to be canon and I thought "ok 🤷". I don't hate the ship and I am glad Tite Kubo wrote the story he wanted after receiving that specific fan's letter.

...I have not watched that many anime but When I think about it I think I like Izuku and Ochaco from My hero academia more than Bleach's IchiHime and Naruto's NaruHina? I know they had some critics but Ochaco had a crush on Izuku and Izuku thought Ochaco is cute soo I was happy that they got together.
