I’ll start, I missed the outdoor cats struggle session so i don’t know what its deal was except a vague idea that outdoor cats were bad, so I’ve let my two cats stay being outdoor cats because I feel bad locking them inside, like I want to give them some experience of freedom to go where they please so they can live more fulfilling lives
Edit: also kruschev is imo a lot better than most hexbear users give him credit for
not being an avid anime fan myself, i would like for people here to have a polite discussion regarding their personal interpretations of goblin slayer and shield hero so that i have a better idea of what the party line is regarding these and similar works.
Pure unadulterated misogynistic drivel.
From the fever dream of Andrew Tate and one horny af Japanese man comes two animes that appeal directly to the male anime fan fantasy to own and use women as their personal toys.
DON’T check out Redo the Healer either unless you want to see literal rape and torture of women in the first fucking episode.
It’s all just the worst of Japanese mangaka misogyny, imperial Japan simping and incel values.
defending goblin slayer should be banable.
Me looking up Goblin Slayer wiki seeing: older sister (deceased) Oh no…
We had a whole ass argument about goblin slayer here once. If you want my takes, goblin slayer dogwhistles alt-right talking points under a fantasy guise. Think like, someone saw the parts of The Lord of the Rings that could be construed as racist and said, “Hmmmm, yes, let’s crank it up to 11”. Shield hero is slavery apologia (“it’s ok to own slaves if you treat them well!”) and is deeply misogynistic.
lol yeah i started that thread
seems the deviationists from last time aren’t here to defend their views today
Omg lol so you did. Federation has made everything seem so long ago.
Look I’ll be real I’ll take bad media takes from other hexbear’s right now over all the bullshit I’m seeing from the libs/chuds out in the lemmyverse, at least I know the other poster’s a comrade who’s trying their best.
The Lord of the Rings is racist to the bone. Goblin Slayer is just a continuation of the same with less poetry.
Modern fantasy’s racism came directly from Tolkien. It certainly wasn’t from 14th century English fairytales that Tolnien was referencing.
From what I’ve heard, they’re considered to just be fascist media but I didn’t really care enough to like store away in my brain why people were calling them that and I’ve never watched them
Their subject matter is bad enough that we’d have to have the whole conversation behind content warnings. I’ve only seen the intro of one of them and that way more than enough to know I wanted nothing to do with it.
