#neet fundamentals

[vagueiish]

idk, kinda feels useless transitioning, even if all the stupid political bullshit werent going on. because even if i get to the point where im cool with my body, it doesn't change the core of me, right?

i do think it's the right choice bc i do feel better on this path, but. unless someone can find something for me to inject or ingest that can fundamentally change who i am as a person, im fuuuuuuuucked..........

[toskarin]

the way chic online "neets" latched onto tomoko and konata (and by proxy the way they're depicted in ironic fanart) betrays such a fundamental misunderstanding of both lol

[itoukaiji]

ok here it is

i have nothing to do while im still kinda sick so lemme write up the kaiji trans lesbian post ive been sitting for for.. a long time because well i have a lot of thoughts. fair warning this is long as fuck

to preface i use any pronouns for kaiji + perceive them as being a nonbinary transfem dyke n well! this is a post about why i believe this. cuz i do genuinely think there is subtextual evidence within the canon to support this. oh also like expect spoilers for the entire series

Gonna try not to ramble too hardcore but i think a lot of the outcast narrative pervasive in kaiji is also very applicable to transness and gender non-conformity and this is imo supported within the text aswell. A lot of instances when kaiji is looked down upon is for failing at masculinity not just failing at being a "productive" member of society. and yeah those things are very much related with the whole, a man should be a provider etc. but kaijis femininity and inability to conform to and rejection from manhood is both enforced on the character but also i would argue kaiji rejects this themself.

This is evident as early as part one, particularly over kaijis hair

Kaijis hair is pretty symbolic of their outcasted status but also i think is really relatable to the trans experience too (especially transfem experience) the pressure to cut your hair so you look less feminine. Kaiji has canonically been growing their hair out since middle school

and later in part 6 this happens

and then we have very explicitly short hair being associated with the concept of kaiji finally becoming "a real man"

after this encounter too kaiji says this

again kaiji trying to be lowkey but is still attracting unwanted attention for being nonconforming, while yeah narratively its cuz this old lady makes it her problem their all NEETs but what intially prompts her to confront kaiji is the fact they are androgynous lol.

to jump back to part 1 kaiji is MUCH more self conscious about standing out and being different (although doesn't do anything appearance wise to conform better, which could mean nothing).

But in later parts, this attitude has changed a lot, the frustration turns outward. Again to go back to the part in the house they are more bothered now people have a problem with THEM over feeling it would be better if they could change. again this mindset they are fundamentally flawed is only really evident in part 1

I know the transmasc reading of kaiji is a pretty popular one, and yeah, a lot of these feelings are resonant for both transmasc and transfem people. BUT i do think kaiji leans more explicitly as being read as transfem and my reasoning for that is their relationship to womanhood.

This is a bit more meta but if you've ever read any other fukumoto works fukumoto really likes to make his protagonists either like , functionally asexual or pathetic virgins LOL, while protags like Akagi and Zero dont express any kind of attraction to anybody at any point. any character that does like women is usually fiending for that pussy.

When Kaiji expresses interest in girls its always within the context of wanting the girl to think their cool

cant even allow themselves to lez out in their dreams...

also when Kaiji does actually get to talk to a cute girl there more fixated on the idea of being seen as cool to her.

Again there's never a point where Kaiji ever tries to seek any kind of acceptance from the men they encounter. even in part 1 when they are explicitly more self hating, this never manifests in seeking any kind of approval. This follows with them feeling disappointed the cute girl wasn't more impressed

also i think its worth noting they make it very clear they want to be perceived as cool for being an accomplished gambler NOT just for having a lot of money. there's not really a sense kaiji wants to just buy the admiration of women. i could get into the way kaiji holds onto being good at gambling as the one thing that gives them worth but NOT THE POST FOR THAT, MOVING ON

now for the most telling part imo [famous representing all the women in the world panel analysis incoming]

When Kaiji meets those guys at the campsite, its very clear they find the way they talk about women and very off-putting, and what finally sets them off is that they share porn lol (and trying to pressure kaiji into joining in)

I think this is the most like overt expression of their disdain with being treated like a man, this is also probably the most honest they've ever been about these feelings. So yeah interesting this all comes out when their completely shitfaced, and they dont even realise what theyve been saying until after the fact.

jumping forward a little later into this arc...

When they are sober, in order to hide the fact there carrying like a bazillion dollars with them, they do play along with the pervy guy role to avoid suspicion (albeit extremely reluctantly).

Again its not like Kaiji straight up does not find women attractive at all, they just find this conversation nasty as hell (i mean like YEAH FAIR) but again, when they are drunk, they take it extremely personally as opposed to just. finding it gross as a dude who is like, normal lol.

^ kaiji finally coming into some acceptance of their butch realness

All that being said I do like that is becoming a lot more evident kaiji has a lot more self confidence throughout part 6 espec when you revisit...... now if you just go an see a therapist- ANYWAY

Kaiji also gets associated with motherly figures like... more than once lol. its a running gag in the fukumoto all stars comics based on that one line in part 2. i wont use that as evidence since those a gag comics but well, there out There JUST SAYING.

but i do want to add that in kaiji before espoir (the bonus prequel) its canonised that kaiji does indeed enjoy being praised by other for doing kind deeds

which isnt to suggest theres some selfish intent behind kaijis kindness just that. they do genuinely like being perceived as altruistic to some extent, despite having kinda complicated feelings about it intially (ie feeling flawed for not being able to participate in braves mens road). And yeah again this is something that is explicitly being feminized within the narrative.

Then theres like everything that happens in one poker lmfao. Thats a whole nother post but again theres a very pervasive theme of motherhood in that arc. Particularly a mothers love being unconditional. A lot of kazuya's hatred for kaiji comes from the fact they care about everybody unconditionally. And as someone who believes his own mother didnt truly care about him, this fucks him up big time.

this whole couple chapter in the finale of one poker is just kazuya projecting his mommy issues hardcore onto kaiji but well this aint about him! moving on!

again theres plenty of altruistic figures they couldve chosen to call kaiji but they use mother teresa cuz yeah she is in theory, a mother to the world type figure, someone perceived as loving strangers unconditionally. and yeah this is not just a throwaway thing its supported thematically throughout the narrative.

This might be a bit of a tangent but im mainly trying to emphasise kaiji is associated with femininity and this is something they like and accept about themselves (eventually, to some extent). and this is a core trait that makes them an exceptional person.

Its a good thing Kaiji is like this, Kaiji femininity is perceived as like, actual sainthood. And yet its still something consider innately wrong and incorrect by broader society. Despite all this, people still want kaiji to be a """real man""" instead. and idk, i just think this is something that makes me really love this series. The idea the very things kaiji is outcasted for is what makes them such a special person.

tl;dr trans dykes heal the world 5ever !!!!!

anyway i hope this is makes sense, and, well you agree with my beautiful and true autistic delusions <3

thats all i think!

Janeway:

- will literally martyr herself at the drop of a hat

- will kill you if she thinks it's what she needs to do for her crew

- will not kill you if she thinks you've got residue humanity after decades as a borg drone even though realistically she really should've (tho ofc we're all glad she didn't)

- will violate your personal rights if she thinks you're not "human" enough and also compare you to a replicator (yes I'm still salty about that. wait what was the question? right, i'll get back on track)

- will say absolutely deranged shit like "then be a good rat and find us the cheese" in the a tone that makes me lose my mind and basically give everyone a crush on her (and also mommy issues) if they spend too long in her vicinity, leading to a very loyal crew

- her solution to having a crush on a fictional character was to delete his wife (very relatable but also very not normal)

- she wanted to watch hot Q on Q sex (possibly for scientific reasons) and looked very disappointed when it was severely underwhelming

- WHO brings a bathtub on a spaceship???

- there's more but y'know

Dokja:

1. Introduced as a bland everyman only made exceptional by circumstance, slowly revealed to be the most batshit, suicidally depressed, bisexual maniac in existence. Uses self-sacrifice like a tool and is completely unaware of how beloved he is by the people he keeps pulling into his fold because he is so deeply and utterly convinced that he is fundamentally unlovable. He's like sixty foundational traumas stacked in a trench coat and he's always sixty steps ahead of everyone else and he loves the people he chooses so so dearly and people keep calling him ugly even though he's canonically pretty average and holy shit dude get some therapy please

2. do NOT let the pretty official art fool u. this is the most average 28 year old salaryman going through the absolute most in the apocalypse. ORV is a story about the most average man on earth with the most mundane, depressing life. and one story that he read to cope with it all. he's just some guy, but he is also the most beloved specialest guy. not because he had some hidden talent. just because he loved a story ferociously and also he likes getting in trouble on purpose. he is the most unreliable narrator you will ever find. every piece of the universe loves him for his average stupid self. you will understand when you read 👍

3. GHBJNKML i am praying someone has sent him in but. unreliable narrator the most ever and also i just. love him so much. orv in itself is such a goo dnovel but like. kim dokja is the definition of love and the most caring person but also he's suffered so much and while. yknow we're introduced to him as a kind of nerd but like. listen he's so fucked up juts LISTEN

4.He looks like a neet-pulled office worker. Spoilers:

turns out to be one of the oldest things in the world and the only being keeping it going and alive. He needs to be there to keep the world going. Also, he got like kind of adopted by Persephone and hades. Like his blorbo is real and in love with him. But this man looks so average that people call him ugly to his face just because he’s surrounded by absolute gorgeous people.

young people in japan really did go off with reclaiming NEET, in a way that i think we (at least in the west) underestimate?

using NEET as a badge of pride is fundamentally an anticapitalist statement

It is cool how days off have meaning now. Sitting around the house doing nothing while being a NEET is soul crushing. Yet, when you’re actually working or in education it feels divine. Is this a fundamental truth of the human psyche or just prot ethical conditioning? I’ll report back to you guys in about 13 years.

Y'know, I know that both the title and content of that Miyazawa interview are now mostly a meme, but I'm really thinking about 「百合が俺を人間にしてくれた」, "Yuri Made Me Human", and how fundamental that is to the appeal of yuri for me. Like I've been watching a bunch of comedy animatics which is kind of beside the point but in the one that I've enjoyed most there have been a few, in my mind, "yuri moments", and my own reading of them as yuri moments allowed me a moment of introspection as to what yuri is to me.

Specifically, the one I remember most clearly is when the main character, a maid (tsukkomi) , rescues her heiress charge (boke) from a kidnapping plot, and the whole while said heiress has maintained a flawless façade of unbothered-ness, she says this is the 73rd time she's been kidnapped, but once the danger is passed our main character the maid is the only one that notices that this girl still trembles slightly with fear after 74 kidnappings. Another is when the heiress is hosting a meeting for her extended family and the maid character is wowed by, if you will, how well she cleans up and how elegantly she handles her duties as host (because she is usually a NEET who does nothing but play videogames and draw doujins, this is a comedy series after all) and like. My point is. What is the core then of what I'm feeling as yuri? Simply put it's the act of noticing, its the mysterious force that makes her notice just how scared this girl really is behind her facade, its the force that makes her notice that makes her notice how elegant she can be even though she's usually such a gremlin.

And this is a thing that Miyazawa talks about a lot and a thing that is at the core of yuri, of noticing things within ourselves and others that we'd never noticed before. It is the "I've killed people with my own hands before, so why does the thought of her in danger throw me into a panic?" It's the "I see pretty women around every day, but what is it that makes her pop out of a crowd like no one else?" It's the "She pisses me off so much and is always pushing my buttons, so why does seeing her do the same routine with someone else piss me off even more?" It is a realization, and a further question, it's something fundamentally mysterious. I'd say Sorawo's characterization and her approach to love is very clearly based upon this notion, that yuri is about noticing the human, and in noticing, being presented with a mystery: the mystery of yearnings and urges you've never known before, and never put a name to.

That's why it makes me so grumpy when I see anglophone himejoshis take what I will call the miracle of yuri, which is grounded fundamentally in mystery, in the fundamental mystery of the human experience, and do a violence against it by demanding it be made into the legible social script of "romantic love", which gives it a focus but hobbles inherently its possibility

in a broad sense, video games, unless they are intended to be quite literally a resource hole with no expectation of return, will always be moderated by the same market forces all things are under capitalism. social democracies or centralized economies fundamentally have to gamble on which luxuries should be supported (and they do- non-essential industries get subsidies all the time in plenty of places.)

due to the way that programming works nowadays with dependencies and such, making a game at minimum requires a good 5-6 people working on it at one time to complete. use of previously existing libraries does in fact mean the people who build and maintain those libraries count for dev numbers, even if they don't show up in the credits. most, of course, require many, many more.

therefore even under an idealized economic system, you require 3-4 NEETs on UBI working around the clock for years on end to publish a single good game. many indie teams fall apart or if their early games don't get good reviews they no longer want to keep making them. but in a more common scenario (because, let's face it, people are more likely to play big AAA-style games, even if they aren't quite AS big as the AAA games of today- marketing is necessary even if your product is totally free) the game that people are likely to play simply won't get made without outside funding. not everyone who works at a big game studio would rather work there than anywhere else excepting the paycheck; many people would in fact not make games if they had to collaborate with large teams for enough income to survive and have a little left over. in addition, hardware and software packages are needed, and not everyone who works on making THOSE only wants to do it for UBI, either. you need increased incentives for things you want to exist beyond the minimum necessary for existence, because while people do work together, they only work together well up to Dunbar's number and then it all goes to shit.

so, what's the most likely scenario under a non-capitalist economic system for the creation of video games? remember, luxuries ARE created under non-capitalist economic systems, because they make life worth living. it is plausible that some people would find video games a reason life is worth living, therefore you would want to fund it.

i expect they would be created under a system of government grants. you apply to the government with your game scenario, concept art, perhaps a short demo, and they give you grant funding. however, there's a small problem- presumably, the government cannot afford to fund every game that people want to make. perhaps some of those which aren't funded go on to become indie games made by NEETs, but the majority probably crash and burn because their concept was too ambitious.

so, you have to convince the government that your game will be well liked, in order to get the grant money, to make your game. they want to fund things that will increase the satisfaction and well-being of their constituents as much as possible, you see. do you see the issue with this?

yep, it's exactly the same issue with pleasing investors in the modern day. creative endeavors that require large teams and need to aim for an actual specific goal rather than ars gratia artis = people creating proposals that aim for specific keywords and things that are currently in vogue, not for the wildest and most interesting. this creates games that are just like modern AAA games- attempting to appeal to the market as much as possible.

now, how do I know this incentive structure will be created? well, you might have heard of heard of a small organization called the "National Science Foundation"...

I always wondered when exactly Radagon and Marika fused, but wouldn't it probably have been after Miquella and Malenia left for the northern lands...? And if so, might it not have been until after Godwyn's death?

As far as I can tell, the timeline of the Golden Lineage is as follows:

Marika arrives to the Lands Between from Numen with Maliketh, Maliketh defeats GEQ. Rune of Death is removed from the Elden Ring and contained with Maliketh in Farum Azula, marking the conception of the Golden Order.

Marika chooses Godfrey as Elden Lord, commanding him to slay the Fire Giants and seal the Flame of Ruin; Radagon allies with the Golden Order.

Marika and Godfrey make some babies, flush two of them, keep Godwyn and establish the Golden Lineage; Radagon wages war with Rennala in the Second Liurnian War, finds he cannot defeat her, so marries her instead and they have some weird kids.

Godfrey conquers the southern lands, founding Limgrave. In Caelid, his grace is divested, and he and the Tarnished are exiled.

Radagon ditches Rennala, moves in with Marika at last. Two more babies, this time with soul-incest. Golden Order Fundamentalism joins the arena.

Miquella's faith in GOF withers with Malenia's health, setting him on his quest to plant the Haligtree and create his own order of Unalloyed Gold.

Ranni gets bored and ices Godwyn.

Marika's faith wavers, and she fuses with Radagon before shattering the Elden Ring; Radagon agrees if only to become a proper god in her place and prevent the Elden Ring's total destruction. The Shattering War ensues.

I figure if they were so keen to avoid arousing suspicion, they probably wouldn't, y'know, conjoin their bodies until their kids left the nest. (To be clear, I'm not saying Radagon and Marika weren't always one being in soul, but that their bodies had yet to be entwined, similarly to the kinship between Darian and Devin.)

As for how the "famed sculptor" of Leyndell discovered their secret, Miriel's reference to "skeletons in [Radagon's] closet" would seem to imply that the sculptor was specifically studying Radagon's life, and chanced upon some subtle indication that he and Marika shared their consciousness or soul in some way. As amusing as the image is, I don't think this sculptor happened to spy Radagon and Marika accidentally swapping bodies before their eyes, lol.

It is kind of funny to think of Godwyn lazing about Leyndell after Miquella and Malenia left, though. Sure, he fought a few flying lizards and later befriended them, marking him a proper diplomat, but it's no wonder he was reduced to the ultimate failson after hanging around mom and steppop for, what, a couple of millennia? A steep price for being NEET... to become a mermaid.

I get so fed up with radblr because so many of yall are racist and/or NEETs who don't think for yourselves. But at least none of you go posting about how we need to be nicer to men because women are just as violent and powerful + women invented femininity for funsies because we love restricting our body movements and fundamentally changing the way our appearance looks until we are unrecognizable in the mirror. I mean what the fuck are normies smoking
