Force Anime on a Friend/Mutual/Stranger

I'm confident enough in my binge-watching abilities to estimate that I will likely finish Assassination Classroom at least by this time tomorrow, so let's get the next poll running.

If you are new here, I love anime, but I'm bad at finishing series, starting series, and making choices, so I let the latter fall to Tumblr - I throw a couple shows into a poll and let y'all have at it.

As always, propaganda* (*semi-coherent rambling) below the poll. You are allowed and encouraged to reblog if you think you can bully your followers into voting for your pick. Other people's followers and strangers of Tumblr, you do not have to know me, follow me, like me, or even really like anime if you wanna push a button - we solely accept "I like pressing buttons" as a poll strategy here.

Propaganda:

A Note About Long Series - For our beloved super-fucking-long series, I break them up by season/arc/however-they're-divided for the purpose of these polls. We play it by ear, and how much I will watch is specified here in the propaganda.

Rambles:

Fairy Tail - Here's the thing: I have no fucking clue where I left off and I only remember a chunk of the arcs or very memorable episodes (and lots of the fillers - I like them being happy and goofy ok?). I MIGHT have been just starting the Tenrou Island arc but god knows at this point. So, uh, for the purpose of this poll, "finish" isn't the most accurate word... I'm just gonna go around again and actually keep track this time. This poll option will cover a rewatch of Season 1 of Fairy Tail.

Horimiya: The Missing Pieces - I've said it before and I'll keep saying it: Izumi was hottest in the first handful of episodes with the hair and the piercings. They un-emoed my boy and I'm Upset.

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. - I love Saiki K, but I've only seen every episode dubbed by Jerry Jewell specifically. I have not seen the non-dubbed, and I have not watched Reawakened yet. I know many of you enjoy those regardless (and wish and pine and hope for an official dub). I know they're worth it. This is your chance to make me watch it - I know I will enjoy it. I just miss my emotional support voice actor.

Chainsaw Man - Pros: chainsaw demons, fucking banger of an OP, dog (who is the chainsaw demon).

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - I'm gonna make all you weebs real mad here for a second. I have not seen FMA nor FMA:B. I've absorbed the relevant cultural knowledge through internet osmosis, but that's it. I do know Many Things such as the dog for instance. I just have not sat down and watched it proper. This is your opportunity to correct one of my many anime sins. Godspeed.

The Case Study of Vanitas - Vampires and steampunk is soooooo my thing. Plus, I'll get to watch another Danny Motta reaction series after this so even better. Show of hands in the tags if we love Danny Motta (that means reblog this, cowards 🔫).

I got curious because I know my mother doesn’t have any ID with her maiden name, and wanted to send her something.

This is the article the Twitter OP links, which has no references or citations in regards to the SAVE Act and name changes (beyond literally linking the entire bill you'd have to comb through yourself). It also has a donation link on the page, encouraging people scared about Trump to donate so they can continue reporting. Kinda sleezy.

It does have a quote from the National Organization for Women (NOW) that mentions voter ID laws disproportionately affect women due to their names not matching exactly, and some are turned away. When was this written?

2014. This was a problem before SAVE. So NOW makes no mention of it. This isn't a source for information (at least on SAVE) it's a source agreeing with the article about the general idea.

It was posted 3 days ago, and so far, is the first mention of this in regards to the SAVE act. Everything else is within the past 48 hours.

The only other article I could find was a day ago, and was suspicious it was going to say everything the first one did but angrier, which it was. It used the exact same quote from NOW, even.

It's a derivative of the first article and I wouldn't be surprised if they got "help" from ChatGPT.

Then, I found this, listed as 3 days ago. Perhaps it has additional information. Alright, let’s see-

Ah. It links back to the first article. The one that has no sources. The one that makes claims with nothing to back it up.

So, why don’t I trust this article? Well, first of all, it has profanity in it, and has an overall unprofessional tone. This isn’t meant to inform, but get people angry.

But that wasn’t enough to write it off, so I went to the actual SAVE Act itself. And this is the only thing I could find:

“(5) A valid government-issued photo identification card issued by a Federal, State or Tribal government other than an identification described in paragraphs (1) through (4), but only if presented together with one or more of the following:

“(A) A certified birth certificate issued by a State, a unit of local government in a State, or a Tribal government which— “(i) was issued by the State, unit of local government, or Tribal government in which the applicant was born; “(ii) was filed with the office responsible for keeping vital records in the State; “(iii) includes the full name, date of birth, and place of birth of the applicant; “(iv) lists the full names of one or both of the parents of the applicant; “(v) has the signature of an individual who is authorized to sign birth certificates on behalf of the State, unit of local government, or Tribal government in which the applicant was born; “(vi) includes the date that the certificate was filed with the office responsible for keeping vital records in the State; and “(vii) has the seal of the State, unit of local government, or Tribal government that issued the birth certificate.

Here's a link to that section. There's other options of things you can present instead of a birth certificate.

There is nothing that indicates the name on the birth certificate and presented ID have to match. I bolded the only really relevant part of the quote.

The article used voting and women's suffrage for an eye-catching and scary title. It doesn't mention the problem Twitter OP is talking about until halfway through.

As of right now, not taking into account the SAVE Act, you can register your married name into the voting database and present an ID with your married name at the polls. Here's a USA.gov site that tells you how.

THIS IS NOT TO BLAME THE TUMBLR OP! I don't blame you for trusting an article. I just wanted to clear this up.

ALSO! If I missed anything please let me know :D

Basically republicans want to make it so your ID has to match your birth certificate which affects everyone from trans people to married women to immigrants.

Meanwhile, in GA, they're going to force all ballots to be hand counted, which could make it difficult to meet the deadline to certify the vote, and thus potentially allow them to give the state to Trump regardless of the outcome.

In many states, such as Ohio, Florida, Texas and North Carolina, they've been purging voters from the rolls by the millions.

If voting didn't matter, why are they trying so damn hard to stop us?
