@lapin it’s true watch the movie @matrix

@lapin @matrix look at the image of them again and see the 5 o'clock shadow on the "woman"

@Boomerman @matrix it's a pitbull in the Netflix adaptation

@Bertpro2000 @matrix
Seriously?

@Boomerman @matrix I'm just having a giggle

@lelouchebag @matrix I remember Eds ambiguous gender being like a wholesome joke 20 years ago and not a weird sex thing or political thing.

@Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum @matrix It's 2016+5 everything has to be political. No fun allowed

@lelouchebag @matrix insert "but everything was always political" cope

@Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum @matrix Everything is (Not) Political Here we go. As an American I get politics shoved in my face on a daily basis. Even all my friends overseas are up to date on whatever dumpster we set on fire this week. Politics is something we think about daily. And honestly? I’m sick of it.

What I Believe In

Just kidding. I don’t believe in using my influence to tell people what to think. And shame on every single person who does. I believe the things I do because of the environment I grew up in. The way I was raised, the experiences I had; those all shaped the person I am today. In short: I’m an individual. And you should be too. As a result, I don’t see people at fault for believing different things than I do. They’re doing what they believe is right in the same way I am. I’ve never ended a friendship with someone over something as unimportant as our differing opinions on which old guy is the best to sit in DC.

What I’m Told

“But Anon, you gotta care! If you aren’t actively trying to manipulate your friends into your little cult, then you don’t even care about democracy!” Nope. I’m not educated enough on all the niche ramifications of the issues to be able to tell others what to believe. Maybe what I believe is wrong. Maybe I don’t know the whole story. So I’m not gonna force my beliefs on others. Not in person, or with the things I create. “But Anon, eVeRyThING is PolITicAL! You HAVE to get down to my level and put ‘messages’ in everything you make!” Blow it out your ass. There’s a difference in being political and having political themes. Take Mario for example. Mario is collecting coins, ergo Mario is a capitalist. Mario is saving a princess, ergo Mario believes in Monarchy. But when has anyone ever considered Mario a game about a Monarch-capitalist nation? Furthermore, when has Mario every tried to tell you what to believe? Unless “bing bing wahoo” is a political stance, that is. Hobbies are a means to escape. When people sit down and watch the game, they aren’t looking to get their views challenged. They’re looking to relax. And sadly it’s not just all forms of media getting enveloped in constant politics, it’s people too. I’ve had relationships with people for years all go to hell because they took “politics” as their obsession. I don’t want to fight you every time some old geezer in DC sneezes. I want to be your friend. I want to tell you dumb jokes and laugh with you, not justify my views to you daily. And it’s a damn shame that people let themselves get so divided over it. You think people fighting wars over religion was dumb? Try fighting your friends and family because you like different old guys. Yeah, we’ve really come a long way. So sure, if I could make Mario political, you could probably find themes in any sort of media. But there’s also no hamfisted attempts at “changing minds” in Mario either. It’s fun. As games should be. If you want to be told what to think, go ahead and submerge yourself in propaganda. I’ll be having fun in the meantime.

@Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum @lelouchebag @matrix Same thing with spongebob being asexual, that didn't used to be an identity.

@lelouchebag @matrix I had no idea there was a manga because a behind the scenes thing that played on CN vaguely implied the showrunner created it so I never looked for it.

Either way, a tentpole theatrical event by the exact same team that made the show is just disposable lore now? The greatest Anime of all time is going to be culturally ignored because of mental illness?

@sergeantcat
Sarcastically said "I want to apologize to fans that I don't look like the anime character, because women 6 feet tall women with DD don't exist and her outfit is impossible to move in"

Except Faey is like 164 cm and plenty of cosplayers have done her outfit without issues

@matrix@gameliberty.club Yeah, that's pretty shitty then. If she didn't want to play the character, she shouldn't have auditioned. It sounds like she hasn't even seen the show or the movie.

@sergeantcat @matrix She "clapped back" at the fans in a cringy and condescending way because modern actors are so thin skinned that they can't handle people having opinions on Twitter. Here's the video, it's only a minute long: https://youtu.be/IeLhFaWGlSI
