SORRY im going to be a hater and incredibly annoying for a second. there's this post going around rn thats like 'pink haired anime girls are a plague on society and we need to go back to Ye Good Olden Days of 90s yakuza anime to heal the earth" and it honest to god infuriates me because the image of "good" anime designs is like:

literally solely GROWN WOMEN from shounen and seinen, with the exception of fucking MAMORU SAILOR MOON, who i can only assume the op thought was a girl. meanwhile the "bad" designs are like:

modern SHOUJO and ROMANCE protagonists, the majority of whom are children or teenagers. which is like. a painfully obvious false equivalency imo. this is not a problem with the progression of style over time, guys, it's a genre thing. shoujo and romance art styles emphasize the eyes of their protagonists and often feature child or teenage characters, who obviously have to be drawn differently than grown women in the first place. shounen and seinen are more likely to feature adult characters and are often more focused on action than expression, so the art style adapts accordingly to emphasize different features.

there are plenty of modern shows with female characters who aren't stylized in the "bad" image style. these shows are just... seinen, mostly. like. if you don't like the romance-anime art style... don't watch romance?? it's not like this art style is a plague on humanity, it's just common for a certain genre of show because it serves to emphasize the features of a character that usually need emphasis in the context of that type of show.

and it's not like the "bad" art style didn't exist in Ye Olden Days either?? in the "good" art style image there was LITERALLY a sailor moon character. in which 90% of the main cast looks like THIS:

heavily stylized with emphasis on the large eyes and hair. the style is not new, it's just genre-specific. I truly don't care if you don't like this art style like. i get it. it's fine. but don't act like it's a fucking plague on society PLEASE. shoujo is hard enough to come by nowadays anyway we really don't need to demonize the entire art style. i never advocate for people to watch exclusively battle shounen but if you're going to be this annoying about it just STOP WATCHING ROMANCE PLEASEEE

i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.

there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.

a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.

please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,
