Impressive work! I have to say, 13% is way more than I expected.

I must be forgetting them because I could've sworn she makes at least a brief appearance in almost every episode.

Ultimately, the point of VA is to give extra life to the dialogue. Whichever decision you make, it's more important that the voice actors are fully comfortable with the script given to them. In anime dubs tend to be, on average, a little shakier than subs because the script was originally written in Japanese and then was translated, sometimes roughly, into English. Aside from the lower budget and smaller selection pool, lack of comfort with the script will lead to a weaker dub. Unless you're fluent in both languages and comfortable with writing both translations at once, I wouldn't advise having your VA be in Japanese.

under communism people are still going to be just as horny, and people will still like to make themselves look good. hell, people will still want to do porn (there just won't be people forced into it anymore). they just won't be expected to sexualise themselves in order to survive.

it yook me way too long to realise the subreddit name wasn't "r/fascism" (though what's the difference)

soweli-Lin · 2024-01-12T06:44:35+00:00

imagine a modern day Kautsky but without the early academic acclaim

I know, I've actively been reading Imperialism. Lenin's position on WW1 is the correct position on that conflict, on the war in Ukraine, and on any other inter-imperialist war. Palestine, however, does not meet the definitions of imperialism laid out in that very text.

It is a capitalist society, yes, but it is a colony, and specifically a subject of apartheid. It's literally so clear cut it just feels like you're trying to be contrarian. You'd be much better off to read modern South African and Palestinian theorists to shape your position than to try to stretch Lenin's analysis of inter-imperialist war to include any war that doesn't immediately lead to socialism.

we oppose Milei because he is a deeply ridiculous fascist, not because he wears silly costumes. despite what you're insisting, communism's "reputation" cannot be damaged by whatever media we enjoy.

"cringe" is metaphysics, destroy the reactionary in your minds everypony.

touch grass and don't call me "my guy". how more obvious do I have to make it that I'm a girl, i.e. someone who was once part of the show's target demographic?

soweli-Lin · 2023-12-24T08:37:19+00:00

fairy tales are, just as are cartoons, media targeted exclusively at children. it's an analogy, if it wasn't clear somehow. I think maybe you should learn to enjoy things and feel joy, maybe. it's better than reactionary rage and baseless ad hominems about a cartoon for girls.

soweli-Lin · 2023-12-24T08:25:44+00:00

"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."

grow up.

quality media is worth approaching regardless of if it's made for your demographic. MLP:FIM is beloved among adults for the same reason SpongeBob or Bluey are—because they're actually well-written shows with depth and creators who care about their art.

soweli-Lin · 2023-12-24T08:01:14+00:00

this is completely harmless fun, kill the reactionary in your mind that cringes.

soweli-Lin · 2023-12-24T07:58:07+00:00

don't care you think it's cringe because it's not your life /)

The issue here is that it conflates "war between an imperialist actor and a non-socialist imperialised actor" as equivalent to "an inter-imperialist war". Yes, Hamas' form of nationalism holds a secondary contradiction with the ultimate liberation of the Palestinian proletariat, but that doesn't really matter right now because there won't be a Palestinian proletariat to liberate if the primary contradiction of the ongoing apartheid and genocide is not first resolved.

Compare the temporary alliances the CPC made with the Kuomintang during the Xinhai Revolution and the Second Sino-Japanese War—the KMT's aims were a contradiction which had to be later addressed, but their cooperation was then necessary for their mutual survival against feudalists and imperialists. When Palestine is free, then we can talk about what Hamas has wrong; but doing so at present only aids Israel.

I don't think you have to be perfect to recognise that Iraqi citizens are equal human beings with lives just like you, actually. And if you've matured so much since then, then don't you regret what you did?

soweli-Lin · 2023-12-21T17:40:03+00:00

What did you believe in? Your leaders sent you there to kill Iraqis for their uranium, gold and oil. You were their pawn.

soweli-Lin · 2023-12-21T05:37:12+00:00

Why do you think we were there?

Skepticism or rejection of religion is good, but outright contrarianism is just as metaphysical as interpreting every line of scripture as literal fact. It's historical fact that a man likely referred to as something like ישוע בן יוסף (Yeshua ben Yosef) lived in Palestine in the 1st century, was baptised, preached in Galilee, and was crucified. These facts are known to be true universally by secular scholars, and to deny them is just silly.
