Listening to @basicboi.bsky.social's excellent video on Yuu Watase and it's actually crazy to me how male editors say her portrayals of violence are beyond the boundaries of shoujo like ??? what demographic are all of those horror magazines aimed at again?

The reactions people have when a small creator makes a bad video are making me very uncomfortable. No one is exempt from critique, but there is a way to do it without being demeaning and condescending.

The pain of having a controversial opinion on fandom and creators. But not knowing which moots fit in the venn diagram of this particular bit of crazy.

The “not that deep” crowd is really baffling to me because do you really think an artist (of any kind) would put in the amount of labor, money, and energy it takes to make a piece of art and not have the majority of it be intentional?

Hiii besties, after almost four months I finally finished a video. I was very hesitant and nervous to post this one, but I hope you find it interesting.

Good that the Guardian is calling Kirk “far right” and showings its readers his views - not “common sense”, not “conservative”, but far right conspiracy.

These days, it isn't hip to be "woke." But don't tell that to Spike Spiegel or Mugen. Here's how Watanabe Shinichiro's Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo both present a vision for radical acceptance and multicultural soul-searching.
