Was beginning to think voters would never start rejecting abortion, protecting babies, but some have, though I am sure bans on abortion at the very least will have to be forced on many or most jurisdictions before the birth dearth ends, and patriarchy and normal family life can resume.
To go on a tangent, this brings to mind something I’d been thinking about since watching Berserk. As I’ve said before, the action classic has one part I found stomach-turning and hard to watch: when Griffith betrays his comrades, simply by forming the words “I sacrifice“ in his mind. He had seemed like an admirable guy, even a loyal friend. He is ambitious and ruthless, yes, but seemed like someone fundamentally decent and honorable who had to contend with enemies that were more ruthless still.
Then when I saw this Stormer article, “Stevie Nicks Says Fleetwood Mac Would Have Failed If She Didn’t Have an Abortion”. https://dailystormer.in/stevie-nicks-says-fleetwood-mac-would-have-failed-if-she-didnt-have-an-abortion/ That was when I realized that the aborters are the real life equivalents of Griffith. He wanted his own kingdom, she wanted to be in a successful rock band, both characteristic high ambitions in their contexts. To have them, they each had to assent to just one easy thing: have those they had a duty to protect murdered by outsiders who would do all the blood-on-their-hands work. Nicks, too, said yes: so that she could gain greater worldly success and fame, she had her own child killed in her womb, dismembered and discarded like routine garbage. No less ghoulish than what Griffith did, as I see it, the main difference is that when he had his friends sacrificed to demons, they were ones you could see with the naked eye.
Nicks probably took the unusual step of admitting what she had done—many feminist women talk up abortion access, but are shy of saying they themselves sacrificed their children for some worldly aspiration—to make pro-life fans feel conflicted, or conclude that the end justified the means. Thankfully, I am spared that; as far as classic rock goes, I have never much liked Fleetwood Mac; their hits always had a Beatles-like phony or pretentious sound to me. Like some hardcore pro-lifers who objected to coronavirus vaccines not because they were ineffective or themselves deadly, but because a few babies were killed in the development process, I would feel good about smashing all Fleetwood Mac’s albums, deleting them from iTunes and every file-sharing service, to demonstrate our conviction that the means used to keep the band on the road were NOT okay. #LifeSiteNews #DailyStormer #SouthDakota #Nebraska #Berserk #anime #FleetwoodMac #StevieNicks #classicrock #rock #prolife #antiabortion #endabortion #banabortion #abortion #chooselife #insights
Hard Anime Shirts personality quiz list completion 1/5: Finished all the anime for Berserk. Up next: Bocchi the Rock! Ref: https://hardanimeshirts.com/dndtest
The original series from 1997 looks the best, but that quality can’t be bought at any price now. Then there’s a movie trilogy that covers the same ground, with a few changes, from 2012-2013. Unfortunately, both drop viewers off at the most depressing point possible! There’s two continuation seasons from 2016-2017, which save for the art I liked as well as the 90s series. Finally, the movies were broken up into a TV series, the Memorial Edition as manga author Kentaro Miura had died, which is mostly the same, but has some added scenes and I think flows better, so fans wanting to watch everything will see the events up to the nadir three times.
Berserk is known and content warning‘d for its gore, nudity and sex, but that’s kind of silly: boys love violence, and near everyone has seen lots of porn. What I WOULD content rating MA-17 for, is Betrayal of Friendship. Griffith does something truly evil, and even on the third time through it is hard to stomach. Handsome and noble in appearance, he brings to mind the Geryon from Dante’s Inferno:
”The face was as the face of a just man, Its semblance outwardly was so benign…”
Why did Griffith do it? It really seems like he wants to be this knight in shining armor, the image of righteousness. I think of him as a shonen protagonist gone wrong: “I’m going to have my own kingdom!” However, he never learned from One Piece, Naruto, and the like that a dream isn’t worth following without friends to share it with. Or put in terms of the viewership rather than the protagonists, he’s like a boy who wanted to play the king in a game, tried, but lost fair and square. It’s time to play a lesser role or go home, but instead he throws a fit and turns on his playmates for not humoring him. As such, Berserk is the cautionary opposite of the “follow your passion” pop message. What happens when you decide your passion is more important than your comrades? But what results is almost too sickening to be able to deliver a message effectively.
He should have been good and not done it, and not just because it was cruel and wrong. It seems out of character for Griffith. He is an intelligent man, and should know that deals with the devil come at a price. Can a kingdom really be his, if this is how he gets it?
Why does the demonic ritual Griffith precipitates happen every 216 years? That seemed rather precise. Apparently that is what Pythagoras believed the length of the reincarnation cycle was. https://philosophynow.org/issues/78/The_Death_of_Pythagoras
Much of the fun of Berserk is watching the Black Swordsman, Guts, swing his mighty blade around. Some of the nudity, especially later on, is especially good. Later seasons become very anti-monotheist, almost infomercials for paganism, with a Holy See behaving directing an inquisition reminiscent of the crusade against the Albigensians, versus witches benign as Kiki’s Delivery Service. Given that Japan is Shinto, I guess it’s surprising we don’t see that more often.
One surprising thing? Sometimes Berserk, threatens to go loli, as our buff Iron Age hero is seen with petite maiden companions—which is also something I remember in Miura’s one-volume manga, Giganto Maxia.
Despite the regard it’s held in, I have my doubts I’ll ever check out Miura’s manga. Sometimes this can be too much to watch; I‘ve felt the anime dragging my mood down over the past weeks.
Pic 1, doesn’t he just look like an angel? Pic 2, Judeau explains Berserk to Guts in a nutshell. #Berserk #betrayal #HardAnimeShirts #anime
Guts gets some helpful guidance from the Skull Knight.

Berserk can be brutal, bleak, but best to keep some context. Only weebs will know: these Lovely Angels have a higher score than Griffith and Guts. #Berserk #DirtyPair #highscore #anime #weeb #otaku
