I don't mean to sound insulting so I apologise if I do, but this is like the most academic phrasing I've ever seen.

Again with this!

I always feel contractually obligated to watch original giant robot anime

No, it's a cutesy life affirming game of puzzles, as opposed to a simulator of gruesome bloodshed.

Unfortunately despite all the ethical and moral quandaries surrounding meat production, such as the harm caused to animals, damage to the environment, the consequences of cessation and so on I just cannot survive an argument with my more callous friends because they will be like 'lol you want to hav...

The knowledge that I should be subject to summary execution for eating meat makes every meal more harrowing and exciting!

Jovial Jeff wrote:Is it prevalent enough to warrant such distrust of society?

Yes.

Regardless, gleefully imagining an incredibly gruesome and painful death of another actual person is still actually pretty messed up.

I don't think you need to be a philosopher before 'I would like to bathe someone in lye' becomes the mark of a shitty person.

is that going to make effects any better?

'wow shit sorry, I didn't know and/or understand, I'll avoid that in future'

or

'lol do I look like I give a shit how that makes you feel????'

Okay so like I did this medium scale effortpost over this anime I normally wouldn't, and though I would share it here, because: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3sIxFTDBMQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxx2pnBKHes I mean like jesus christ Even taking into account that this stuff has been selected sp...

You're lucky I can't remember what country you're from otherwise there would be some serious teasing going on right now

Well I mean this is the franchise where I combined a dragon with a saint and got a snowman

I remember Asura turning into Asherah

The mythological basis of which I am still not totally clear on

Of course I remember Strange Journey

Cruisin around hell in the space van

Chattin up demons

Fightin trees

Can't we just be excited about a chibi Persona dungeon adventure

Or maybe the Persona rhythm game that nobody even realised they needed

Or like maybe Persona 5

Or something

So like, Atlus had a big event just recently and announced a bunch of stuff. Like Persona 4: Dancing All Night! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5BIRWiifo8 And Persona 4 The Ultimax: Ultra Suplex Hold for home consoles! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zqmnp2wZRU4 And Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth...

I hate to be all 'well that was the point' but like

Kayaba Akihiko's whole motivation relates to this

Alright, i'll bite on this one. I get the racism accusation, CoD has been using faceless brown people as enemies since 4, but Fascism? There's no indication given that you're fighting for some kind of dictatorship. Right about the time a heroic character says 'give me your sons' as part of the inev...

It is also incredibly racist and terrifyingly fascist.

Look Kirito doesn't look that much like a girl

Honest question: what do you mean by 'showing emotional spectrum'?

The second season of SAO is bizarre Because in the first season Asuna is a totally cool and talented and strong person with a strong sense of duty and justice and who goes off doing her thing and even rescues Kirito in a bit of a reversal of the norm (and in the original version of the sequence just...

I've never heard, specifically, that Sauron should be allowed to dominate Middle Earth to bring political change. However David Brin (I think) has a quite infamous critique of Lord of the Rings where he suggests that heroism shouldn't just end at killing the dark lord and then having a bazillion pea...
