    • The constant simping by neckbeards.
    • The unrealistic and overly pervasive sexualization of everything.
    • The boring, formulaic predictability: The boy, the priss girl, the nerd girl with gadgets, the tomboy girl that cleans up, the aggro chick, the alternate love interest. Fuck off already.
    • The homogeneity of art: everything feels like it was made by the same studio.

    As a child I watched Robotech and Macross. I loved Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, and others like that. I realized that anime could be for everyone with Studio Ghibli. There were guilty pleasures like Rouroni Kenshin or Inuyasha. I loved the Ranma stuff because it was just quirky and frenetic. DBZ was fun, but boy did they drag it out. Anyhow…

    Next, people will say, “Oh, but you should see this! It really breaks the mold.” I’m sure it does. I don’t care. I’m over the genre.





  • To add to their point, I live in the USA. I speak 4 languages. My girlfriend is Mexican and has dual citizen status in Mexico and Chile. The US is fucked, but not in the same ways exactly. That being said, I’m ashamed of our behavior every day.

    The USA is not a moral northstar nor is it a place to aspire to live unless you’re in dire straights.

    We plan to move to Chile at some point. I can maintain my US job.

    Fuck false loyalty to nationality. Live for yourself and your loved ones. Everything else is farse. Life has no borders.

    This is my bane. I’m so tired at how stupid most people are. How little effort they put into things or how unwilling they are to think through a situation. Nuance is lost fully. Debate is typically two people saying things at one another rather than actual dialectics.

    I’m fucking tired. Humans aren’t worth the effort.
