Yes! I've not included Maria in this conversation because I can't remember a single time where the narration explain that's it's her fault that Rosa is neglectful and abusive. I didn't know that the manga made it explicit!

If only Ryukishi wrote every abusive situations like this...

There's a discussion to have about how Ryukishi tends to think that victims have a responsibility in their abuse, even children.

Like that Ange has a responsibility about Eva's mistreatement (because she rejected her). Or in Saikoroshi, that Rika's isolation (and her abuse from Satoko) is her fault, because she was too centered on herself. I don't remember how much he thinks that Satoko has a responsibility in Satoshi's disappearance.

He write very good tales of abuse and bullying. He always takes abuse seriously. He also develops the thoughts of the abusers without endorsing or condoning. He's very good at describing bullying as a power relation. And abuse as a cycle where abusees can become abusers.

But I think there's something we don't talk about. It's that they are always causes from abuse that we can find in the perpertrator, and the victim also. And several times he blames the victim for their behaviors. Even when the victim is a literal child who just did things that are very normal for children.

The "media literacy" discourse has never been about media literacy. People speaking about that don't actually lobby for better education, they just act condescendingly towards people they disagree with.

I beg all of the people reading this post to stop mentionning media literacy on the internet, except if you're actually working in the education system.

A lot of diversity! But in the end, let's hauuuu together!

Don't forget to explain the deep reasons for your choice in the notes

Zohran Mamdani has almost certainly won New York City's mayoral primary. Next week's Ranked Vote tabulation will make the results clear, but Lander's and Adrienne's votes will overwhelmingly go to Mamdani, who will face Sliwa and incumbent Eric Adams in the general election. It's unclear if Cuomo will also mount an independent run.

I feel so embarassed by a time I fell in love and was rejected. I was so sad during one month. The thing is that I didn't stand a chance (incompatible sexuality) but I was in denial. Everybody knew that except me, but believed in this love, I sincerely believed it.

I fell in a trap, but I'm the one who set the trap to myself.

I didn't play Robot Alchemic Drive but I'm fascinated by some videos I saw online.

I'm laughing hard of the dubs, also rooting for Nanao, but also rewatching ten times the clip where her plans are once again destroyed

One day maybe I'll play that gem

Wisdom is a scam. "Oh I've made mistakes but I questionned myself. I am slowly progressing on my path of self growth. As time goes I'm becoming wiser and more humble."

Bullshit! You're just a messy human being. You're full of flaws but you're trying to turn your life experience into something inspiring and criticism-proof.

Plus wisdom is an ideal of passivity and it's self-centered. What about action? What about learning to be pro-active and not just self-reflecting?

I'm not ready to move I've got so much to do I'm not ready to move I've got so much to do I'm not ready to move I've got so much to do

OK, there's a 90% probability that I'll be ready on time

But I've got so much to do!

If you love Dai music (the main composer of Higurashi and Umineko), this is the best medley you'll ever find. I discovered it ~4 years ago and I loved it so much!

During two years, obtaining the music score was an unattainable dream, and until I finally got my hand on it, gaaah

I rediscovered it and OMG it's so good!

This may be the worst use of LLMs anyone has attempted, ever. Up there with recognizing mushrooms.

I hate disposing of stuff. I'm like "Oh no I could have used it! I'm sure if I mind it I could use it in the future! This is a present, I can't betray the one who offered me. I have memories of that thing, I can't dispose of it!"

And I end up with a flat full of things I won't use but that I struggle to dispose of.

That's why I don't want any more presents. Presents take space and stress me.
