My headcanon is that Ozai was sexually abused by his father as a child and never got help, and this is part of the reason he ultimately had became such a monster.

I would say this is believeable both because Fire Nation is a pastiche of Edo Japan and Imperial Japan, first of which is one of the infamous examples of pederasty-tolerant societies, and the second of which is infamous for perhaps commiting more wartime rape over the course of a single war than any other society in history, and because from what little we had seen of him, Fire Lord Azulon seems like the type of person to whom it would be not out of character to molest his younger son.

Now live with this, you all.

ok…

This 1st chapter for new manga came out and it has certainly made a impression on western anime fandom. They are claiming it is racist, xenophobic, etc. And honestly, I can see it, with the characters saying some similar language to said people. But someone also brought up as an anti-west or anti-colonialist themes, with them being against the occupation of their planet. Ultimately, its barley 1 chapter out, so I don't want to judge it just on this

>The whole car scene with the alien getting away with crime is a Japanese right-winger talking point with kurds having access to cars and crashing them, supposed mass crime and gangs, and believing the media is covering for them
Or it's a reference to American soldiers getting away with fatal hit-and-runs in Okinawa which has happened multiple times.
Ultimately none of us can tell what's going on in the mangaka's head, but I guess it's fair to say that if you write a story trying to communicate something (seems to clearly be the case here) but the audience has zero idea of what you're trying to say you probably fucked up somewhere.

Bruh, you really feel for the nostalgia cool-aid.
Bruh, people always sought out things to be mad about.
When comic books first came out, adults were buying them to showcase its "corruptive influence on the youth."

Bruh, you guys trying to make it out to be somekimd of anti imperialist series lmao. It seems to me that there is something up with mc and that she is making shit up about getting “beaten” in first chapter there are like 3 times hse gets “hit” but we never get to see it happen, just the result.

When I was a wee lad I read Katawa Shoujo and ended up really liking Emi. She hit all the right spots for me personality wise. I finished her route with the impression that she was supposed to be the token tomboy among the main girls. To my astonishment, when I went on the Katawa Shoujo forum I found out that other people did not consider her a tomboy. How? She's the athletic, bold, energetic girl who likes to play rough. Did I not just describe a tomboy? Is it because she doesn't "look" like a tomboy? Ridiculous. It was as if at some point I had been transported to bizarro world where the word tomboy had been hijacked by pathetic fetishists who now tied the word tomboy to physical appearance.

As the years went by I found myself highly attracted to 2D girls with varying types of what are culturally seen as masculine qualities. Like the aforementioned athletic, bold, energetic, likes to play rough but also aggressive, assertive, emotionally reserved, brash, vulgar, messy, short-tempered, rhetorical, analytical, philosophical, gluttonous, as lustful as a man and so on. In other words, women who behave like the worst and best of male cultural stereotypes. Do they "look" like tomboys? Some do. But even then I have nothing in common with the pathetic fetishists, the most egregious and possibly loudest of which circlejerk over 2D girls who only "look" like tomboys and otherwise do not deviate much from the assumed average girl who on top of that unironically fantasize about turning said "tomboy" into a traditional 1950s cooking, breeding and raising servant (read: wife).

Don't believe me? Give a definition for the word tomboy. Then objectively think of all the fictional girls who come to your mind that fit that definition. How many have you never thought of as tomboys?

It's not just the word tomboy that is being systematically destroyed by pathetic fetishists. The word gyaru did not simply refer to physical appearance alone, but a whole subculture. To be a gyaru it's not enough to dress the part, you also have to act the part else you're a poser right? That's how subcultures work. Gals are stereotypically vain, airheaded, trendy, extroverted, socially intelligent, gold diggers, Americaboos and so on. Today? Shy gyaru. Awkward gyaru. Recluse gyaru. Tomboy gyaru. Normal girl gyaru. Otaku gyaru. Of course a character turning out to be different from expectation is funny on the occasion, but when every gyaru is effectively a poser gyaru thPost too long.

Although the show is far from perfect, I enjoyed it, reminding me of older, darker samurai media, and the main character is a total Tomboy. Episode 5 especially hit hard.

I know this meme has sort of passed at this point, but every time I see leanbeefpatty and particularly the "mildly muscular women think they're gods/know your place" picture or its illustrated variants, I recalled this thread and the discussion about fit short-haired girls not necessarily equivocating tomboys.

>>24711
Legendary theory thread is legendary.

I will never stop thinking about stupid shit.

0. The "tomboy fetish" as we call it does not exist as a single category. The term might perhaps be appropriate in the minority of cases where it can be considered one manifestation of the general androgyny fetish (another being a fetish for male or female crossdressers, flamboyant men, etc.). Rather, in most cases, a "tomboy fetish" is a coincidence of related fetishes such as muscles, short hair, etc., which tend to be associated with a few major personality or physical traits.

1. Attraction to tomboys is paradoxically often commensurate with an attraction to certain particular aspects of femininity. This is most obvious with the strong muscle "mommy" archetype. The woman's unabashed strength and assertiveness are explicitly tied to the traditional nurturing, motherly aspect of femininity. Another example is the popular archetype of the Artoria-esque female knight: quiet, dignified, gentle and graceful, qualities that are often attributed to male nobles but far more often are befitting of female ones. A "female king" seems more naturally capable of the kind of warm, comforting presence that propaganda often attributed to monarchs.
This ties into the idea of the "beautiful fighting girl", a common trope in Japanese media and often present even in anime that is quite sexist or rejects the notion of women filling male gender roles. In these strange cases the point of the show is not to promote the idea of female strength, but to indulge in the fantasy of a protector who is at once competent and comforting.

2. All this only addresses one aspect of the tomboy fetish, which is strength (physical or otherwise). Another aspect is vulgarity, particularly profanity, but also manifesting in certain fashion choices, unabashed sexuality, etc. In these cases it seems the attraction lies in the explicit flouting of feminine norms; unlike in 1., it can be said in this case that if these norms didn't exist, neither would the fetish (if everyone is naked all the time, nudity ceases to be erotic). In this case the attraction boils down to the thrill of rebellion and defying taboos, a fundamental component of many fetishes. Furthermore, since all people are some combination of masculine and feminine traits, even the idea of *which* masculine traits and in what quantity result in a "tomboy" (and thus to the perception of flouting of femininity that is necessary for this fetish) will be heavily relatPost too long.

1. on this I'll agree that there's an element of ageism involved
2. It's the live-and-learn part of a person's life. It's when a person basically has to feel out for themselves how to connect with people. When it goes wrong, it messes them up

>>26674
Methinks the real reason why bad relationships mess up people is because the pre-existing expectations of how relationships are "supposed to go".
Romantic love if we were to really examine it from a detached perspective is probably more selfish and destructive than lust.
Lust is at least easily relieved by rubbing the genitals.
Romance is not .
It's about trapping people into an eternal movie.
It's about trying to recreate your favorite movies and books, willfully ignoring or rejecting your partners for not looking/sounding/acting according to your impressions.

>>26675
You’ve never actually been in love, have you?

That’s not what it’s like. You’re describing just toxic assholes.

>>26711
Well, then most humans are toxic assholes then.
Not all faux pas is caused by willful toxicity.

It can be just due to honest to god rigid impressions.

>>26725
>most humans are toxic assholes
YES.

Am I overreacting if I just got irrationally angry when watching Youtube Poop (YTP) when in the middle of the YTP, Stalin appears and sends main characters to do forced labor, and then there is a "dark humour gulag forced labor montage" but the soundtrack used is music from THIS Simpsons couch gag?

Why tf did I say this? The Marxist classification of humans absolutely can be essentialist if you're doing it wrong. Tankies do it all the damn time.

Fuckin hate that anime/manga. Not only is it harem its just cringe.

Reread a few chapters and its abysmal how bad it is.

It IS a classic, in the sense that everything you don't like about harem anime, Love Hina is directly responsible for.

Post Disney movie from which, in your opinion, the company's work had truly stopped being even historically progressive and had became a full-time force of reaction.

In my opinion, it''s this movie, for it's actually objectively more racist portrayal of Native Americans than the caricutare orcish barbarians from Peter Pan, which had kickstarted the trend of Disney trying to "represent" non-European peoples in a supposedly progressive, but de-facto very distorted and tokenised way, for liberal brownie points and profit. And also for kickstarting the toxic trend of blaming all of a racism and opression in a given society on a single super mean and evil guy(TM).

>the company's work had truly stopped being even historically progressive
When were disney movies ever progressive except in a technical or artistic sense? Bambi, the jungle book, snow white, fantasia 2000 and pete's dragon are ecofascist, the lion king does bold-faced race essentialism and almost all of them shove in monarchist propaganda in some way.

>>26336
Fun fact, the voice actor for Pocahontas's dad wrote an essay about how writing is anti native American, that Marxism has nothing of value for Indians, and was nominated by the Libertarian party to run for president in the 80s.

>>26344
iirc Means is fairly controversial amongst the native community. It would make sense that the one guy from AIM who gets good MSM coverage is also an anticommunist bootlicker tho

>>26345
>the native community
Burgerbrained brainrot, there are many native communities, all speaking different languages and all having different traditions, and yet some autistics on the Internet dare claiming to represent "le natives?" This is just liberal tokenism all over again.

"necrobump" is not a thing here, don't worry.

does anybody know of any good wuxia shit, or just any good chinese anime in general? i watched mo dao zu shi and i really liked it

Insane animation here. Apparently it's based off a short two dudes made some years ago and bilibili decided to dump money on it

I'll still hate on donghua for relying on cheap 3D animation and the same recycled LitRPG fantasy setting to cut costs and lasting for several seasons just so the advertizers can milk all the money from running their shitty water bottle ads in-between 10-minute episodes. But there are pleasant exceptions like the one >>26517 mentioned.

Is there like a site that streams Chinese stuff? I had viki but it was mid and I don't remember there being animated stuff
I heard Fei Ren Zai got animated but I don't know where to see it besides youtube

practically everyone who drew sexy and/or violent stuff used to be some form of leftist in the past. maybe if today's leftists like the modern JCP didn't go all in on the scolding, Murata wouldn't have done that. yeah it's selfish to care about comic books more than whether the government cares for its people in general, but that's how humans are and you gotta know how to appeal to them. if no dumb puritanism came with it and they supported manga, he'd likely support the japanese left.

I'd argue he was always better than most, because even the earliest OPM chapters show great aesthetic sense despite being wonky as hell technically and to me having good aesthetic sense is the most important part.

I don't think OPM would've caught on if it was made with stiff XKCD stickfigures and only driven by writing. the fun visual vibes it gave off, even with the "rock bottom technical ability" early stuff, is part of the appeal.

ok I guess I shouldn't have said "you guys" and smugly generalized the board while trying to sound above it all, especially not including that specific anon in my generalization. but to elaborate I do think SOME of you have this idea about fiction where it defines everything & being neurotic about it is almost like the key to politics. no there's nothing in OPM that encourages zionism. last I checked his twitter, I recall ONE was actually kinda interested in Muslim culture? it might be different memories melding together and I can't check anymore (since dumbshit Elon privatized likes & can't even let you opt in to show them off), but it was something that stuck in my head.

pic is relevant to my other point (and I think his earliest OPM art showed he had the taste to improve this way from the get-go) but it's worth noting assistants obviously helped him a bunch of the backgrounds in OPM and probably other stuff. I recall him being cool about crediting them though and he clearly built hugely upon his own ability over the years too.

>>26375
>his art sucks
>>26388
>not anymore

you people are both pleb as fuck, ONE is and has always been a much better artist than Murata, who is merely an skilled technical illustrator

>>26485
I've gone past my initial contrarianism of looking down on Murata because of the "ONE can't draw, he can only write" meme opinion, I do think he's a good artist, but the Mob Psycho anime is a far better approach to making ONE's art marketable to the mainstream. Koya58's Mob manga ads are peak though:

>practically everyone who drew sexy and/or violent stuff used to be some form of leftist in the past
At least right-libertarian even if not leftist, the conservatards unleashed a full-on war in the late 20th century when they were in power, and Jack Thompson is still the name that gives shivers to all gamers worldwide (except Christians who only play Mario and Sonic).
>he was always better than most, because even the earliest OPM chapters show great aesthetic sense
True, they had that charming MS Paint feel to them and were still pretty detailed. They looked like those funny MS Paint animations on YouTube with a somewhat sketchy appearance.
>his paneling was always great
Japs are panelling wizards in general, their print format, cultural isolation and dedication to their craft force them to be.
>that's how the culture war brain works though. "media" needs to belong 100% to the left or right.
That's also a very idealist look at the world since leftism and rightism are ideas instead of actual material conditions. In reality people's ideas are a mix of both because of the complex material conditions they find themselves in.
