Welcome to the second trailer post of the week You can find the first trailer post here while the third and final one of the week will appear tomorrow. Since I’ve been watching a lot of films this year, I’ve kind of got a schedule set up for December where I have enough spare time to play video games and by with family on top of learning to bake cakes. There’s going to be a mixture of…

whoever wins the next election, the loser should be oath-bound to commit ritual suicide if they don’t already take the step of their own volition. utter humiliation either way, the point of no return. trump has a red carpet in front of him woven with biden’s failures and the latter is running against mr rule 34. the only way to go out and save face would be to kneel on the white house balcony with a tanto with the attendent vice president behind them ready to deliver the kaishaku

Problematic Yuri Tournament Season 2 - Round 1

Kannazuki no Miko vs. Beast of Blue Obsidian

Kannazuki no Miko (manga by Kaishaku; has anime adaptation)

Sexual Content: MODERATE; Gore: LOW; Violence: HIGH

Submitted problematic elements:

there is a pretty (in)famous scene where Chikane rapes Himeko (and they have to kill each other in every timeline for plot reasons)

Submitted content warnings:

for rape and some violence

Submitted propaganda:

It's pretty iconic and the relationship between Himeko and Chikane is so great anyone who likes doomed romance should watch it

Beast of Blue Obsidian (manhua by Bing Zi)

Sexual Content: HIGH; Gore: HIGH; Violence: HIGH

Submitted problematic elements:

The wolf one is literally magically enslaved to the elf one. Kinda non con in general, also because elves live really long and beastmen don't, there's some serious class disparity and dehumanization

Submitted content warnings:

Graphic depictions of gore, torture, sexual torture (the least fun kind), and almost every sex scene contains some sort of societal power imbalance, which eludes to non con

Submitted propaganda:

Master × slave, sorta pet play sometimes, heat cycles... it chose it's niche and it does it well

[witchofanguish]

okay I'm getting a kick out of the reincarnation thing in Kannazuki no Miko because based on all available evidence it seems to primarily be an excuse for Kaishaku to continuously throw Himeko and Chikane into situations

The Bushido ⚔️

                                               [Spoilers]

    It may surprise you, but the oh so important code of the Samurai, technically did not exist. Well, it did, but not in the way that you may be thinking.    When we think of a code that all the samurai had to follow, we may think of a huge codex that would be distributed to all of those that would go on to learn the Kenjutsu - the art of the sword. And that would be... wrong. Since the samurai were trained to defend the land of their daimyo all the concepts that we all associate with a Samurai would be passed via oral tradition. There was not even a name for it, it was just the way these warriors were expected to act.    But as time did go into de Edo Period [c.1603-1868], this samurai that were the central part of everyday life during centuries, lost their job. What the Pax Tokugawa brought was indeed peace in the land (which is extremely arguable, but we are going to ignore this for the time being), and with peace there was no more wars to fight (no sh*t Sherlock). So, the samurai class would go to fight the nostalgic heroic feelings that they lost (because the new generations were samurai in title but lift a sword? Way too much work.) so they decided to recall this code that once ruled all the samurai and apply them on their life (and expect the other to follow it too).       “The Bushido did not exist until the mid-Edo period. Until then, the most important qualities in a samurai has been bravery, honor, and a strong masculine spirit. [...] The samurai dispenses the business, of the farmer, artisan and merchants and confines himself to practicing his “way”[...] It was the samurai’s duty, to safeguard Japanese morals, and this ideas formed the basis of the unwritten code of Bushido” – Hillbororough, 2017    The Bushido literally means "the way of the warrior" was the way this nobleman would have to behave in everyday life and in their work. "[...] its a tactician code, not written, but having the sanction and force of a royal deed and a law written in the fleshly tables of the heart. It was not conceived by a brain, however competent it might be, nor based on the life of an individual character, however famous and famous. It was an organic development of decades and centuries of military career." – Nitobé,2023

   Now, when we talk about the code and honour of the samurai, there is one thing that will come to everyone's mind: the eccentric (or not) ritual of the suicide - Seppuku.    There is this famous story where a Minamoto loyalist was ordered to behead his father. Stopping his lord to commit patricide, a lieutenant acted and beheaded him instead. Shortly after he killed himself. This is by no means the 1st ever recorded suicide, but it would start this chain of this kind of suicides were the samurai transformed the suicide into a performance.    Where a samurai in apparent defeat they would kill themselves instead of falling into the enemy’s hands or having an awful dead.  When the question was the honour, the bushido would say that the key would be dead. Even though, the Japanese believed that the soul was store in the abdomen, this act was not a faith one but more like a philosophical or ceremonial one. It was a way in which the warriors could present their crimes, be forgiven for their mistakes, escape dishonour, etc. In case of a full-on legal punishment, it would have public ceremony. This would mean that the condemned would use the wakizaki and would have a kaishaku - a person that would be there to cut is head. The cut on the abdomen was a painful one, were there would be no cute, just the cut on the head to stop the suffering.

   “Over the years, seppuku would take on new rituals. Samurai would wear white kimono, symbolising death, and purity. They would write a death poem, ensuring that parting words, criticisms, or curses were encapsulated in repeatable form. Seppuku started as a battlefield compromise - a last resort by besieged men in burning castles, determined not to surrender to enemies, who would torture and humiliate them. But once it became enshrine in tradition, it became the default means of repentance, and even criticism.” – Clements,2017    Now we do understand why this is a reference made so many times during the series. When Urokodaki says to Tanjiro that if Nezuko eats any human, Tanjiro should be the one to kill her and then kill himself. When in the 1st Hashira gathering Urokodaki and Tomioka put their honour with Tanjiro and Nezuko's. And mostly, why Zenitsu was so mad when he received the news that Kuwajima had done the seppuku.
