Its just so gosh darn entertaining. What are your favorite longreads that you come back to?
“When foreign cultures talk about Japan, they usually talk about anime and / or manga. Usually, it's anime. Anime is terrible. It used to be okay. Now, it's not. It's inbred trailer-trash in entertainment form: Every season's new Japanese animation places one-upmanship of every single aspect of the last season higher on their list of priorities than even "make something entertaining." The same can perhaps be said of all Japanese entertainment, though it's not relevant anywhere else as much as it is in anime. Anime used to answer the questions of kids' dreams: "How awesome would it be to be a world-class assassin / kung-fu master / robot pilot / baseball hero?" Now it's just a bunch of shit pandering to perverts and pedophiles.”
Lol starting thinking this guy was a dork but nah he’s alright in my book
Anyone who cares about anime and sees Japan as anything other than a US created techno imperialist alienation machine that destroys human beings like a wood chipper for the human soul needs a few years in a gulag
The repeated "How this relates to videogames" sections feel so out of place lol, he had a good article and had to adapt it for the gaming magazine.
God, that dude sounds boring.
Jon Bois has two of my favourite long reads: The Tim Tebow CFL Chronicles and 17776.
I felt like I was being taken over by Grey goo when I clicked that second link
american soyboy
ah yes, because a japanese person would never eat soy
just because i find something amusing doesnt mean I condone everything being said in it. As always, leave it to hexbear users to be utterly humorless dullards
:marx: said we couldn't have fun, don't expect us to be revisionists.
:graeber: said what's the point if we can't have fun, which is oddly relevant to the OP
Putting weebs in gulags will be super fun idk what you’re talking about
