New Chilean lawmaker does an Attack on Titan salute after making her first vote (and yes it's an explicit reference because she's wearing an Attack on Titan shield pin too) https://t.co/kRaY0sxyuH— Populism Updates (@PopulismUpdates) March 11, 2022
The real mistake was wasting time reading a reactionary manga that influences people to think this
Fuck, what's the term for that kind of writing, where the narrative makes some abhorrent position the actual correct response given its highly contrived scenario that was crafted specifically to make that position correct? I think it's slightly more generic than that, where the story is just making some shitty perspective true and correct in-universe, but I feel like that applies to shit like this or how Warhammer 40K's narrative explicitly makes the Imperium the lesser evil because everything else is some predatory cosmic horror and even just thinking the wrong thoughts can make daemons appear and eat everyone.
Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of, I was just misremembering it as the sort of preceding part where a problematic work that internally justifies itself through its control of its own narrative is created in the first place.
I remember the first time watching it when it came out, sitting in a dark corner of my room and high as fuck. The titans and giant troll things, they freaked the fuck out of me and I was absolutely blown away by the Lynchian level creepiness. I stopped watching it after the second season, I think. Got Anime as fuck.
What solidified it for me was when Eren seemingly fucking died in like episode 5. I thought I had actually been tricked by an anime and Armin was secretly actually the protagonist all along, but then...
You should check out Ranking of Kings. I hope I'm not setting you on the same path again, but it's been a delight so far aside from the usual anime thing of monarchism
Especially the episode that came out yesterday which might be my favorite episode of any anime ever
Yeah, I'm not big on anime but I gave it a shot and really liked it at first. Then the genre pivot happens and you're like, 'yup, it's anime alright'. You're not going to get some paradigm shifting show, you'll have the same Asian soap opera tropes with the cute bunny talk, constant crying, and absolutely inane dialogue.
Have you ever watched Hunter x Hunter? It's probably my overall favorite at this point. Its a shounen where the final big baddie isn't defeated through some bullshit powerup and the protagonist wins in the end, but through dialogue and philosophy (and also fighting)
U mean the chimera ant arc? Because other than that while I love HxH its politics and ideology just rub me the wrong way. It's colonization distilled into anime form with cool fights and powers.
I actually stopped watching after season 2 or 3, then heard about the cluster fuck fasho ending and thought I'd watch it and dunk on it, but it overpowered me with excellent direction pacing and voice acting

I'm watching the anime as it comes out. Like, I'm fucking furious that I'm watching it and I hate it
but it's such a well made anime I can't tear myself away, but I'm fucking seething the whole time
I'm sorry you also got tricked by the interesting premise

Same problem as Promised Neverland where it has incredible vibes in the first half then shits the bed with the genre pivot

I've heard nothing but good things, so I'll definitely give it a watch!
It starts out a little slow but don't let that fool you, it's pure fire
Btw here's a link to it for free, this is the ultimate anime site https://zoro.to/watch/ranking-of-kings-17195?ep=83664
Bless, I've been looking for a new one since 4anime got killed. I'll give it a watch this weekend!

What did the other arcs have to do with colonization? They're mostly smaller scale and follow our characters and friends around?
