Reading Gundam lore be like:

"As the Earth Federation was destabilized by a last-ditch attack from Principality of Zeon forces, it backslid into fascism, leading to the rise of an authoritarian military police unit led by Mr. Hymen" Also UC Gundam lore is absolutely fucking fascinating, like there is a tight, incredibly vast but simultaneously dense world that has been built spanning just ~20 years

Such a complicated web of competing political factions, weapons manufacturers, etc., all chronicled in detail

So, I saw the usual suspects reacting to the news with takes along these lines over the past few days, getting MASSIVE viewcounts on videos covering it, and upon literally 3 minutes of reading their narrative entirely collapses; it's really quite stunning and hilarious, a thread:

Here's Hero Hei getting over 200 THOUSAND views in under a day talking about how this move "DESTROYS" CR & Funi

It certainly WOULD be devastating if anime studios were banding together to create their own non-CR service b/c they were mad at the company

If only that was true...

this comment on my KiwiFarms thread is the most incredible compliment I could ever possibly receive Also a lotta comments here calling me a "faggot," which, fellas, I assume your intention here is to insult me, not turn me on

You really need to get a better idea of how I work if you're gonna make it sting; you're obsessed enough w/ me that I'd think you'd know my taste better

"oh no! I'm acknowledging the EXISTENCE of good female characters, better make sure everyone knows that it's okay because I hate "diversity"!" Also, I guess that, given the "HOT" plastered onto this thumbnail, being sexually attractive is a necessary precondition for a girl being "badass"???

Which is a little weird because the 12 year old Toph is on here, but you do you I guess my guy

Does this comicsgate guy whining about how "the new Watchmen is bad because the npc sjw cucks got to it and made it WOKE!" not know that original comic was written by a leftist anarchist exploring the evils of fascist thought?

Isn't their whole thing being the "real" comic fans? If Alan Moore was around today calling out other comics writers for being misogynistic and homophobic these same people would be making constant vids shitting on him, and dogpiling him on twitter, but b/c he isnt, and b/c his work is so clearly great, they just ignore all that

I've just learned that the premise of Fate as a franchise is that the world's most powerful warriors are the sexiest people in existence and literally need to fuck to live and I'm starting to see how it's made like a billion dollars LMAO, looks like my tweet ended up being so controversial on the FGO subreddit that the thread had to get locked

It's deeply amusing to see the same grifters who made dozens of videos about how doomed Vic's defendants were based upon his legal team's filings now saying that we can't trust legal filings as the responses are coming in and poking significant holes in his case lmao. It's almost like when a given person submits documents to the court, those documents will claim they're in the right and put forth all the evidence that makes them look good, glad to see these people discovering that all of a sudden.

Me: hey this meme looks like it's become a vehicle for hate & should be critically examined

Pewds fans: HOW DARE YOU

Pewdiepie: puts out a video saying the meme has gone to far & become something used to fuel hate so it should be ended

Fans: yeah you're right, so brave of you All of a sudden now that he said the meme is an issue and carries danger with it that's an opinion you're allowed to express, which like, is the most unsurprising thing ever, but it's still disappointing.

Here's the thing about whipping out the "innocence until proven guilty!" line in regards to rape accusations.

What you are necessarily doing in assuming the accused to be innocent right up until the court makes its decision, is assuming the accuser to be lying until that moment. "Innocent until proven guilty" is a maxim our justice system operates by, and it's there for a reason, but it has MASSIVE repercussions if you take it outside that context & start applying it to the court of public opinion

Think about it. The backlash women have been receiving
