Alberto hosted a New Year's Eve party, mostly because he needs to appeal a community policy so that he can vote on a policy for his aspiration since we have the max amount of policies in place in this community right now. So, he hosted a party to schmooze and get signatures for his appeal.

Envy: Do any work with musical artists?

Takuya: Not yet. Would love to though.

I feel like we never talk about how soul shattering it is to have long and civil conversations with ppl who are misinformed on social topics, gently coaxing them out of their bubble of prejudice, only for some self righteous, snappy 19 year old to burst in and go "wow you havent let go of these bigoted views youve been fed your entire life by all the people you know and love??? Literally go kill yourself 🤪🤪" and when you go like wow thanks for ruining literal hours of trying to get this person to sympathise with our cause the 19 yo goes "why the fuck are you defending them, why were you even talking to them, ew, are you sympathising with the oppressor? 🤢 are you trying to form a connection so that they might be forced to see you as a person and feel compassion for you?? 🤮"

Like ofc its so much fucking easier to tell someone to fuck off. Its so much fucking more satisfying to clap back at randos online. Its hard to have to convince people to see other people as human. It feels horrible to have to reach out to bigots just in case you might still be able to make them understand.

Its perfectly fine if you cant do that, but im BEGGING you to not ruin the effort of people actually trying, simply because you feel morally superior bc you WOOOW realised that someones views are bigoted and outdated like NO SHIT SHERLOCK. Do you want a medal for realising that ppl in mostly conservative, non lgbt communities MIGHT hold anti lgbt views? What are you doing about it tho?

RATING THE SAW ANTAGONISTS

John Kramer: he got pretty insufferable after he died and his worldview was incredibly spotty. what the fuck was his motive? was it the cancer? was it the dead baby? was it the car crash? who knows. 5/10

Amanda Young: what the fuck is your problem you get put into a death trap that didnt even inflict any physical pain on YOU to escape and that makes you want to put even more people in death traps? you're not jigsaw bitch 4/10

Mark Hoffman: dude just can't stop stabbing cops in the chin. 8/10

Dr. Gordon: i dont like the weak "he was there The Whole Time" shit but at least we actually like. knew him and his involvement explains a lot of the weird medical stuff that happens in the sequels. 6/10

What's his fuck: what was the dude from jigsaw even named? i dont remember. all i remember about this man is they pulled the "he was there THE WHOLE TIME" weak ass shit. 1/10

Detective Schenk: pretty cool that he wanted to get rid of shitty cops but im docking points because it was done from a "not all cops" perspective rather than from an acab perspective. 6/10

Sorry if this is a silly question but if playing Hogwarts Legacy is transphobic isn't playing cyberpunk 2077 transphobic as well. I remember there being a lot of evidence against CDPR and the "mix-it-up" ad. I guess no one there funds genocide (I think) but still, just trying to wrap my head around how to consume media ethically. Thanks if you don't want to answer it's ok. ~cyberpunkfan

I don’t know why you’re asking me of all people but way I see it, is Hogwarts legacy is funding an active terf lobbying against trans rights and putting their money and fame into it, also her work has been criticised for anti-semitism and instead of moving away from that image seems to have doubled down even more on it. Whereas cyberpunk I haven’t heard anything about that ad so I guess it was a while ago? As far as I’m aware cyberpunk team isn’t trying to promote terf values and isn’t funding them and isn’t sticking by their guns about it? Never seen or heard about the ad maybe someone who has would want to comment on it because I do not know but if it turned out they are heavily transphobic and funding anti trans legislation and the trans community ask me to not buy the game I would drop them immediately (but since I haven’t played the game in what 6 months? I can’t see how I can do any less that I am doing right now which is nothing)

So I guess when consuming media ethically I guess is the media trying to be better and learn from their mistakes and values?

Cuz Hogwarts legacy is a resounding no

But since you call yourself a cyberpunk fan why have you bought the game and play it? Or more likely why is a Hogwarts legacy Stan asking me if a game I played *check notes* months ago with no recent updates about is just as transphobic as purchasing blood libel the video game

Gosh, YES, this has bugged me a lot. Secret magic heritages always feel to me like the inverse of a shock factor character death - super cool and fun and shocking initially, but it quickly fades as you realise just how much of the original story and themes it undermines.

Bleach, the other one you mentioned, frustrated me so much when the reveal(s) came I actually stopped watching for a bit to process. The entire first half of the story was about underdogs, about a completely normal teenager (for a given value lol) and his friends uncovering a whole 'nother world and solving supernatural mysteries and saving the unknowing people before escalating to opposing The Institution and fighting injustice, etc etc. Lots of cool anime fights.

But a huge theme point was fighting against overwhelming odds and the youth being alright, actually, about railing against 'the way it's always been done' and Ichigo being a wild card. There was such a big deal made, repeatedly, that his immense strength and adaptability was due to his still living, HUMAN, soul. And that that wasn't something that had been seen before.

I'm not being eloquent enough, I'm too tired lol, but yeah Ichigo's role as protagonist was indeed the wildcard underdog with stupid amounts of endurance powered by friendship and justice like the full concentrated power of the sun. Anything that might have hinted to something more just read as standard shonen protagonist being implausably good at surviving.

But yeah, I really would have loved to see Ichigo remain the lone human in a world of death and monsters, underestimated and yet threatening, with his theoretically infinite capacity for growth and change. It would have been awesome to see his originally one note power set grow and evolve into something more, watch him adapt with his hollow and zanpakuto like actually. Engage the brain we know he has, that can process things so fast. And it's not like he did anything about all that heritage, which frustrated me no end. It's funny, but there are multiple video essays and essay posts about trying to untangle just what the deal is with his spiritual genetics, it just got so tangled and contradictory by the end.

Again, barely anything would really change, he'd 100% remain a special war power, but I'd love to imagine how that would affect his relationship/dynamic with aizen, with isshin, with the memory of his mother, with ishida. Aizens antithesis and isshin would never understand and their relationship really needs repairing. He'd remain the outsider, special for what he could do and the choices he made rather than what he was, and that's always more compelling. And!! He wouldn't have to leave his human friends behind so much as it progressed they got kinda sidelined in favour of the heavier hitters with drama (valid but eh).

Like I am way too tired to story properly but Ichigo had such potential as he was and ironically the reveals kind of detracted from that and I'd love to see something that kept to the free willed unapologetic interloper he originally was, who's mere presence wrecked the narrative of the ones in charge, whose very essence was change and progress, or just some more stuff like the horror/supernatural urban mystery solving the first arc was, because I've never met a Bleach fan who didn't agree that the early story absolutely ruled and it's a shame kubo dropped it completely.

Thinking about "You know what? Fuck you. *un-ennobles your family background*" AUs, due to the "Naruto" I've been reading and "Bleach" I've been watching. Like, taking the main character of any given story and removing their secret and powerful family backgrounds.

I like Minato and Kushina fine as characters, but I also think "Naruto" could have been just as if not more interesting if Naruto had just been some nobody kid, as the story initially presents Naruto to be. What if the Fourth Hokage had sealed the Kyuubi into some random orphan? Honestly, I think Naruto's shitty upbringing makes way less sense if he's the previous Hokage's kid, because Minato and Kushina both have all of these personal connections who really should have done something more and I've never been fully persuaded by the excuses the story gives for why not.

Naruto meeting an undead Minato can still be compelling if they're not related! Naruto could have grown up directly idealizing Minato as his hero only to find out that the Fourth Hokage kind of ruined his life. Kakashi and Naruto can still have an interesting personal connection by Naruto being the random orphan that Kakashi's beloved "nice" sensei fucked over to save the village.

And Naruto being some nobody kid would work really well contrasted against Sasuke's fancy Uchiha pedigree trying to choke the life out of Sasuke at every turn. Itachi and Obito both got fucked over by being Uchiha. Their ancestor Madara is straight-up the one ruining lives and trying to destroy the village. Naruto and Sasuke could be a great example of how the shinobi system screws over both orphan nobodies and the shinobi equivalent of nobility.

Now, there's a lot of directions that you could go in with an AU like this, because honestly, it could barely change the story at all. You only need a few tweaks here and there to make Naruto some orphan nobody again as he seemed to be at the start of the story. But you could also pull a wild Canon Divergence to really delve into the themes and plot threads of being demonized and discarded that the main story kind of dropped in favor of making Naruto the son of the Fourth Hokage and also the last son of the super special Uzumaki Clan.

(You can also make really interesting plots by properly delving into Naruto being the son of the Fourth Hokage and destroyed Uzumaki Clan, yet being demonized and nearly discarded as a child by the Leaf Village anyway, of course, because I don't know if I'd say the story fully delivered on the potential of those canon backstories either. But I personally think it's more fun to delve into Naruto potentially having no fancy pedigree whatsoever.)
