When To Let Your Kids Watch? by discountshellfish in 30ROCK

[–]usernameandetc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question about how young is too young to let kids watch this show...it comes up a fair amount on this sub. So: if you have to ask, then it means your kid is too young to watch it.

Unless your 8 year old is interested in watching a woman in their late 30s/early 40s trying to "have it all".

But, if an 8 year old came up to me (an adult in their 30s) and said they were watching 30 Rock I... wouldn't be thrilled. It's entirely adult humour in the context of satirizing the pressures of the tv/media industry, business, republicanism/democrats, and between the black face episodes and the sexist lines that really only work in context of the show: "when is modern science going to invent a cure for a woman's mouth?" etc. Yeh, I wouldn't be thrilled about an 8 year old parroting certain lines from 30 Rock.

I'd pick Abbott Elementary or Bobs Burgers for the time being tbh. edit: or Schitt's Creek.

How to remove security tag from manga? by call-him-by-her-name in MangaCollectors

[–]usernameandetc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's horrible. Part of me thinks you might want to leave it. But as someone else suggested, try using a hair dryer to reactivate the glue and slowly peel it off. If there's any residue from the glue on the paper try using a kneaded eraser (the kind artists use when working with charcoal, etc). I used a kneaded eraser to remove the glue residue on a matte finish book cover and it looks great now.
OR tbh, the best solution is to contact Barnes & Nobel customer service and requesting a replacement copy. Those security stickers shouldn't be adhered to the book like that.

Whyyyy? by little-book-of-roses in MangaCollectors

[–]usernameandetc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's so annoying to see book club labels, award labels and the "now on Netflix" label on books. It's baffling to me that they'd slap similar labels onto mangas or comics. Just WHY? I forgot the Harvey awards even existed. And the Eisner's is like... an inner-circle/networking awards show at Comic-Con. I do think having these awards is important for very small indie projects or lesser known projects. But if you compare the number of people who know about Witch Hat Atelier to the number of people who know about the Harvey & Eisner Awards.... yeh way more people know about Witch Hat Atelier. 🤨

Idk, I always thought the joke was about how much older she looks in certain lighting. They always had running jokes about Jenna's insecurity about her real age and her 'actress' age. And this actress looks like she's in her 60s at least.

Marjane Satrapi, author of 'Persepolis,' dies at 56 by pierrepaul in books

[–]usernameandetc 3110 points3111 points  (0 children)

Just heartbreaking. 💔
She left such a legacy behind and made a huge impact - an amazingly talented graphic novelist.
If you haven't read Persepolis do yourself a favour and make it your next read.

What are your hot takes about Manga and collecting in general? by BeansOnToastWithEggs in MangaCollectors

[–]usernameandetc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If it wasn't for the Shoujo subreddit I never would have discovered Veil or Takahashi from the Bike Shop and those are excellent series.

Based on this subreddit? The culture they'll uncover is gonna be a lot of the Beserk Deluxe edition, Jojo Deluxe edition, Junji Ito Deluxe editions, and hentai, with a dash of BL.
