You know, watching Batman The Animated Series for the first time since I was a child, I literally can't get over the gulf of characterisation between that Batman and current day iterations. He's still dark and brooding and powerful but he cracks wry jokes and he's compassionate to his villains and he feels so much more compelling.... idk maybe I'm just tired of people saying that present day Batman is "realistic" when they mean "joyless and brutal"
TMNT 2003 gets accused of being the "edgy" Turtles, but when I look at how well it treats the topics of bodily autonomy, trauma and now ecofacism, I realize that it's all because the show is written with kindness in mind.
Of course it thinks you shouldn't force treatment on people, even if they're what basically amounts to terminally ill, it's being kind.
Of course it sides with trauma victims over the people their trauma might inconvenience, it's being kind.
Of course it doesn't buy into "earth would be better off with less humans", it's being kind.
in guarani there's a standard greeting that literally translates to "are you happy" (ndevy'apa) and the natural reply is "i'm happy" (avy'a) and as americans learning the language we were so distressed like "but what if we're not happy....." and our teachers were like "that's so not the fucking point"
we kept trying to think of any other way to reply but our teachers kept trying to get it into our brains that it's an idiomatic greeting, it literally is not the time or place to traumadump, and as usamerican english speakers we are not some special exception for saying "what's up" with the reply being "not much" instead of "the ceiling"
but anyway while i was working in paraguay -- the country with the largest population of guarani speakers -- i got sent an article by some friends back home like "look! they're saying that paraguay is the happiest country in the world!"
and the methodology was "we went around and asked paraguayans if they're happy and recorded their responses" and i was like. oh. of course you did. and of course you got a 100% positive response rate.
Not to be a Boomer but your social media should be your own space, not something employers are allowed to look at to judge you beyond the qualifications stated in your resume and cover letter
person who has only watched one anime: what i really love about dungeon meshi is how it subverts our expectations of a typical anime by not sexualising women and having a good plot!
i dont know who needs to hear this but as a general PSA for those who pay people online for goods and services: KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE BUYING. While it might seem funny to write a clever note along with your transaction, any sort of hint that you're buying something nsfw or even mildly suggestive poses a huge risk that the person you're paying is getting their method of payment shut down permanently. transaction services are stricter than ever. "thanks for the boobs" is a pipe bomb that only needs one pair of eyes to be noticed. loose lips sink ships
