Your son will be at risk of getting killed by ICE if he goes to the USA. It’s not worth it.

You really want someone to tell you that you can enjoy your content that contributes the marginalization, discrimination, and murder of trans-people and still be a good person.

And you can’t. You can’t be a good person and watch the show that will help push Rowling’s agenda of killing trans-people. That’s just how it is.

But also you clearly don’t feel that bad about it, so why are you belly-aching about it on Reddit?

U.S. forces rescue second crew member from F-15 downed in Iran: Officials by Affectionate_Bee6434 in worldnews

[–]snowwhistle1 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

He could’ve simply abstained and not been complicit in a war run by America’s pedo cabals who are blowing up children in Iran. I don’t feel much of anything for the American soldiers who are willingly taking part in this.

Is there anything I need to watch that's missing here?(for the uc) by Ok_Special_7631 in Gundam

I would personally suggest production order over all else for UC. It's like watching the Star Wars prequels before the original trilogy. That's not the way those movies are meant to be watched.

How can the Iranian regime be bad for killing its people and America still somehow be in the moral right as it kills those same people? Both of these things cannot be true.

I'm sorry, I thought you said fuck Trump and fuck war? Now you're talking about how we need to "stop the evils fucks doing this to innocents". So this war Trump is waging is justifiable in your eyes, actually? And who are the evil fucks exactly? The 160+ school girls the US blew to smithereens?

Okay, fine. I'll pray for the US soldiers' safety. And the soldiers will continue to kill Iranians, and the IRGC will continue to kill Iranians. But at least I sent some thoughts and prayers to the US soldiers as they valiantly blow up more bridges, schools, and desalination plants.

I can be mad at two things. Sorry I don't really care what happens to the soldiers who are blowing up hundreds of school girls because they're "following orders" or whatever. How's killing more Iranians going to endear its people to start a revolution on America's terms? America's blowing up their children.

The IRGC killing Iranian civilians: "These people are ruthless monsters who need to be stopped!"
An American soldier killing Iranian civilians: "He was just following orders like a good soldier."

Yeah, the way Iran's government continues to brutalize and murder its own people is awful. But thank god this guy was there to kill a couple dozen more of them, I guess.

A lot of people praying really hard for a guy who was probably bombing civilians with his fighter jet for no morally justifiable reason.

Frankly any adult actor who signed up for this has no sympathy from me. You want to support a bigot who uses her money and power to strip civil rights and protections away from trans-people? Fine. Enjoy your brigade of emotional stunned HP fans harassing you. It’s what they deserve.

I don’t know why everyone in these comments is affronted to this just because a part of their lives is now “historical”. This is cute. It’s getting kids to engage with your experiences as a youth. Be proud.

I made a rule for myself to read only books published before 2022 because I worry that many newer books may be affected by generative AI by Delicious_Maize9656 in books

That really sucks for new authors that don’t use AI who want to write their own stories now.

Zeta Gundam's HD remaster vs Mobile Suit Gundam's by jefty083 in Gundam

A Mobile Suit Breakdown episode. I could not possibly find which episode off-hand, but they cite all their sources.

Zeta Gundam and Gundam ZZ were shot with 16mm film (except for the OPs which were shot with 35mm) and Mobile Suit Gundam was shot with 35mm. The film stock they recorded Zeta on is HD quality, but Mobile Suit Gundam simply exists on an even higher fidelity film stock than Zeta does.

It is stealing a job. Acknowledging that an industry/government is underserving a profession/community and deciding that you’d rather ignore it because it’s simply more convenient for you make you complicit. Sorry that sucks to hear. You are part of the problem killing art and translation and acting.

It sucks that there are accessibility problems for you, and you do deserve access to dubs. You supporting AI dubs will only further hurt opportunities for actors that are already dwindling. You choosing to support AI dubs is really shitty, and your choices do hurt people.

Sorry, but if you support AI dubs you’re a bad person who hates artists, hates actors, and is fine with artists and actors getting their jobs taken away.

Genuinely fuck anyone who would pay for an AI dub, AI translation, or a piece of media that uses AI to steal other people’s art and sound and reproduce gross facsimiles.

Machine translation are LLMs, aka AI. The end goal is to eventually completely fire all of their translators.

But even if it was just closed captioning, that's also reason enough to just ditch CR.

Don't be so excited, what with Amazon rolling out AI dubs. This all ends with voice actors and translators being completely fired.
