A Politician will promise you financial policy, "change" of the vague sense, but not peace between men and women specifically. Not a campaign to make women feel safe, and make men feel welcome in society.
They won't promise a culture to bring women and men together instead of destroying one or the other, or propping up one at the expense of the other.
Your leaders will promise you everything except what will save your village from itself.
The fact that he considered Guts a possession, this character is a vindictive, egotist control-freak that willingly fucked his entire group twice.
chp355
Now, in context he was reluctant to commit to the sacrifice, & was remorseful for all the people that died for his dream (1997 version anyway). The God Hand had to big up his ego first, manipulate him and convince him to do it-- But the fact that his first order of business as Femto was to r*pe the one person on the planet who admired him the most & did absolutely no wrong to him. Just to hurt Guts.
YET AGAIN, he's using people as a means to get what he wants. Casca is just a thing for him to use.
And it's ironic, all those years with Casca at his side: Nothing. She finally moves on to someone who sees, respects and acknowledges her as both a warrior & a woman.
NOW Griffith feels some type of way, when he did nothing but ignore her. And he's too intelligent for me to believe he didn't know how she felt, he just kept her on a leash as a means of control and when both Guts & Casca found purpose & happiness WITHOUT his sorry ass as the center of attention, he felt he had a score to settle for that.
chp356.1
Especially in his weakened state where he definitely felt his ego get trampled on.
All because he wasn't the main character anymore, all because Guts outgrew him, and so did Casca.
I already knew the entire reason he went to Charlotte's room was to vindicate himself by feeling like he had control over someone, ANYONE, he had to dominate a teenager just to get the taste of Guts' W out his mouth.
But the fact that he admitted it when he was in his cell, verbally admitted his not having control over Guts is his fucking damage, that his issue was that Guts surpassed him as a man, Griffith is just pathetic.
He kept Guts around for his strength, he envied Guts because the man didn't need a Band to achieve his dream, and Griffith couldn't stop him from walking away vs Griffith who wouldn't have accomplished anything if it weren't for the people around him that carried him to every success he achieved THROUGH the team.
Now he's basically an Anti-Christ figure uniting the world under a united banner/Government-- All to maintain his childish dream of having his castle. And for what, and the cost of so many good men, even Corkus' annoying ass didn't deserve that shit, and I mean that. Gaston, Pippin, Judeau, the goddamn horses, fucking hell.
Both Charlotte & Casca knew the truth, Griffith is a child. They meant it as an endearing trait, but that alone is his entire problem. He's a fucking child.
Guts deserves to wear his ass down to a bloody pulp (How? WHATEVER Skull Knight did to obtain his power. Keep in mind this mind outpaced VOID/Femto/Zod/ the entire God Hand didn't stop that man during the Eclipse. SkullKnight is a problem. So whatever he did that's what Guts needs to do), Casca deserves the kill-shot. Period.
If anything less happens, if ever, that story will be ruined forever. Because I can't imagine anything more appropriate. Maybe Guts becoming an Apostle? But either way, Casca need to get that final blow, I don't give a fuck.
All that time as a aloof-ding bat was unacceptable, absolutely hate that turn for her character. Took way too damn long to get her back on track.
(Recommended anime btw, it's amazing. I usually loath 20 count episodes, but the pacing is so good in this one.)
She deserves the final attack. End as it began, as Griffith told her in the very beginning, she takes up her sword and makes the call.
Not gonna say much, I woulda posted this months ago but I debated "recommending" this, but it is a solid project as a movie.I watched it twice in 48 hours just to absorb everything. I read a bit of the comic to see the subtle differences.It's basically the western (Grave of the fireflies) and Imma leave it at that.
good. Americans need to take after him and stop being apologetic slaves to the collective party
the entire movie was a punchline, there's nothing to apologize for and then when you do apologize, the goal post moves or it isn't good enough
American grovel culture disgusting
It is possible. I think it’s called femsplaining. Oh wait.. my mistake.. it’s only acceptable to make fun of and disrespect men. Also, I’m half Mexican. So when I explain something, am I committing the crime of Mexicansplaining? Of course not.. because it’s derogatory and disrespectful to say that. But for some reason Mansplaining gets a pass because it’s directed toward men.
The Dunning Kruger effect is not exclusive to men, so let’s stop using the term “Mansplaining”. Let’s just call the person an idiot for attempting and failing to explain something he or she isn’t knowledgeable about. Call that individual out for being dense, not their entire sex. I can’t believe I have to Tallsplain this.
Precisely. The whole thread should be closed because you just squashed all of this childish nonsense in one comment.
All it is is just more tactics from up top to turn women against men by feeding women’s ego’s and make them think men can’t teach them anything and plant this delusion that men are the only one’s that interrupt and interject during conversation to fact-check when women do the exact same thing.
Plant seeds of disconnect between males & females yet again, make men either docile drones afraid to say anything or frustrate and make them resent the society they live in or women in general.
And inflate women further and make them think they’re an exception.
Just more disrespect and emasculation of men, and women get to run their mouth & talk down to whoever they want and there’s no term or slang for that popularized.
The issue is the hypocrisy, everyone’s always on the same page when it’s men’s turn to be held accountable but when it’s women’s turn, then it’s debate.
When the “reverse” argument is introduced, there’s always an excuse. This is why most modern women are insufferable, and it’s not even their fault.
Because the people planting these seeds of strife aren’t everyday people.
Nothing but perpetuated misandry, orchestrated tension for absolutely no reason but for a very specific reason.
Americans disrespecting men openly, then it’s no wonder why their birthrates are going lower and lower and lower.
You don’t get to castrate one of the paragons of civilization and expect prosperity, anyone would have to be psychotic if you think constantly smothering men with hatred and disdain will result in a successful flourishing society.
It will never happen.
And this is ‘impossible’ or not heard of in reverse?
The fact that you have to ask is part of the social-conditioning, the mind game. Inflate women’s ego’s while breaking men like dogs for anything and everything they do.
And when men walk away or unplug from society or give up on women; then say men need to “step up”, men cannot get a goddamn break.
It’s both possible and heard of, it’s called being an A-Type personality, awkward or being rude. Last I checked, last I lived I’ve met women of all 3 categories.
It happens often, especially in corporate or boxed-in office settings where ego’s clash. Because to interrupt someone to explain something or the concept of interjection of someone mid-sentence to add a comment (aka being rude)- contrary to popular belief is something anyone with confidence, ego or assertive traits can do.
It’s not impossible or unheard of, it’s just more politically correct to chastise men when they do it and when women do it, call it “Girlboss” or “CEO mentality” or something.
Always some positive reinforcement when women are toxic, but yank a man’s sack when he does it.
What’s happening is some women get interrupted, they don’t know how to react. So instead of coping with it (clapping back), or ? Like a big girl assert her case to the person interrupting her, or confront them after and just ask them not to do that. Instead don’t make the action the problem instead make men doing the action the problem.
So the undertone of “Mansplaining” is: “It’s okay when women are rude.”
Otherwise what happens when a woman interrupts a woman? Just call it being rude, just like with a man, why politicize it?
But you see this is the power of division through language, “rude” is not gender specific, you can’t weaponize that. It’s too neutral.
The point is to single out men and exclude them, while calling society tolerant.
The agenda here to turn women on men (yet again), so to do that we have to be as counterproductive as possible so to insert “man” as the pre-fix you completely remove accountability from women (as usual) and thus the ball is forever in a man’s court when the word is used despite women doing the exact same thing when it’s convenient, because while I’ve met plenty of people who interrupt to assert dominance, most people are subconsciously doing this because they’re excited or invested in the conversation or just dense to how that would make the other person feel.
I myself have developed an assertive conversationalist air BECAUSE I’ve been interrupted myself by people, and it manifested as a defense mechanism to compete in conversations, rising to the occasion.
But you see when I do it I catch myself and or transition back to what they said prior to my interjection with an added apology for the interruption (not groveling but a quick “My bad for cutting you off” acknowledgement) and life & the conversation moves the fuck on. No slurs, no buzz words, no drama, just adults doing as grownass adults do.
Edit: And sometimes, whether people want to admit it or not; Adulting is not a sport where you get your hand held, sometimes pushing your case is necessary to sell a product, yourself, your services. And a useful life skill in case you need to socially get yourself out of a situation you might be held hostage in [Which I personally have used interjection for many many times and it’s saved me from getting burned]: Namely for most people, helping close a conversation that’s dragging on because the person keeps talking or wants to rope you into something, that’s another thing I’ve had to develop various social calluses for, because SO MANY times I got roped into stupid crap because some of us don’t know how to say “no” or relied on people’s consideration when what will save you is you cutting it short.
You can’t accomplish that without interjection or being rude to an extent. You have to be that guy or gal sometimes. So cutting-in? Is actually a useful skill to use responsibly.
Otherwise, holding rude people accountable, good. Painting a fallacious narrative that only men are rude in this context of conversation, why? (Well we know why, don’t we?)
The term is a sure method to antagonize men, and make women the self-righteous passive party despite the concept of conversational interjection being a human trait, not a male trait.
It’s just society & various agents yet again planting seeds of disconnect to further drive apart the sexes on a broader scale
(How do I know this? Well simply put: Why aren’t there creative terms to bring women and men together?Why is it always negative? Because discord is the agenda, chaos. Marxism baby; Destroy the power of two, to destroy the family, the birthrates, conquer the two, to conquer the all) And the foundation of that collapse is to break the male, break them by any means necessary, not all at once but very very slowly: The slow knife cuts deepest.
And the easiest way to do that is by weaponizing one of two things they’d die for, Women.
The entire point is to drive men and women apart through subliminal messaging or not so subliminal. Strife, tension, divide, fighting, politics, misunderstanding, pretense, lies, lies, lies.
Why? Because people in unity are harder to control than masses arguing over a made up word that only exists to put a halo on women’s heads.
And it’s not women’s faults, I know it’s ironic to say women aren’t held accountable then say it’s not their fault but it’s true.
Women as a whole aren’t sitting in a basement thinking up dumb shit like this-
Words like this come from corporations, people with pull, money, influence: Up top so it bleeds down, that’s how it works. Fed to groups then fed to masses, propaganda.
In a Tv show, an article, thus fed to women to start a domino effect and it works every time. Because antagonizing men is part of American culture.
The part that really gives it away, is how one-sided it is. And when some men speak up It’s usually from a place of anger or distance, or frustration, it’s why MGTOW in concept is brilliant (like feminism), but in execution- a total failure, a reaction, not a solution.
And by “disconnect”, that doesn’t mean people aren’t hooking up anymore, the point is to control the narrative, disconnect the unity of the groups as a whole.
Because individually; hookup culture is still going strong.
Propaganda forming disconnect doesn’t mean people aren’t dating or getting married still, it means on a broader scale sex has been drilled into people’s routine so much it’s become trivialized. So even if you “have” someone, does it even last? Does that even mean anything? Or is it just a social statement until the inevitable failure among the rest.
That seems to be the consistent legacy of most relationships: failure, break up; Disconnect.
It doesn’t mean anything, it’s just something you do. So imagine how trivialized children are, or the family? Hence the birthrates.
Yes people are still doing it, but it’s routine, it means nothing because it means less than nothing to the country, clearly.
Men going their own way from Women is exactly what the powers that be want, reactive disconnect. You’re just playing into the hand.
Grandmaster Level Chess: frustrate men into either wanting to be destroyed by women deified, abusing women, trivializing women, replacing women (waifu’s by the social rejects or sexbots *something a lot of MGTOW overestimate*) or abandoning women- either way, the natural state of men and how they instinctively want women is perverted, twisted and disfigured. Deranged even. (Macrocreeps in a nutshell, deranged, defanged & broken)
The one’s doing it the right way are the outlier hence why the birthrates are dropping. People are getting married, having kids, but it’s not enough to make up the difference, as we can see in the numbers, and it’s not just America.
And all while you think you’re making a conscious decision when all most of us are doing is just reacting to a mass skit. Reactive tactics that are not working.
Because really think about how silly this is, that anyone would say “Mansplain” in a serious context and not be laughed out the room, that sounds like an SNL gag.
Yet now it’s gotten to the point where people are asking questions because the broader culture has been infantilized so successfully, they actually take the word seriously to be a topic of discussion on live television, sometimes in Political houses on National Television i’ve heard the word “Mansplain” used, and nobody laughed, lunacy.
This is how far we’ve fallen from the basic instinct of “Unite = Survival”, we’ve traded unity for convenience, and survival is what we’ve sacrificed. And we won’t get that as a species until it’s too late.
Mankind has been played so hard it’s not even funny.
Heard of Connect-Four? Well all this is a long-game of Disconnect-Two, as usual.
I don’t appreciate you threatening my comment ability for the 5th time over some replies, how many times do I have to say this: I’m going to say what I want, why? Because I’m a grownass man, grow up please and stop policing people like this is a martial law state.
If you want to turn Youtube into a Daycare center or a Fascist state where everyone has to live in fear of what Youtube comment bots might punish them for, that’s your prerogative, good luck with that; all you’re going to do is encourage people to go to another website.
But I’m going to say what I want, I don’t attack people personally, and I don’t insult people’s mother’s or curse their children, none of that, so threatening my ability to speak or threating to terminate my nothing channel that I have zero attachment to is you trying your best to flex muscle that you don’t have.
You’re not intimidating bud, so stop trying to be something you’re not.
I say what i mean and i mean what i say, so don’t play with me, and don’t waste my time with your childish bullcrap.
whatever you think is “hate speech” is a you problem, get over it. I live in the real world.
I’m not changing how I speak because of what you might do If I don’t, frankly, no one on this site is scared of you.
Apparently Free Speech is a joke to you but it’s not to me.
It’s my right and I’m going to exercise it tomorrow just as I did yesterday.
I’ve been on this site for 13 years, and no one’s life has been destroyed over some comments I left, sometimes I run my mouth but life is a journey to better yourself, that’s the entire point of making mistakes.
Otherwise: Please, please, I’m begging you, please, stop being so sensitive. And grow a pair.
Life isn’t an elementary school classroom, I find it absolutely hilarious that you think you’re in any position to try to control how people speak in a country where the FIRST Amendment is free speech. The FIRST ONE.
Remove all the comments you want, if it makes you feel better.
Youtube is really a prototype for America’s [1984] arc, and if you look at one of the parties that funds Google, and Google that owns Youtube: It makes sense.
And I get it, if someone’s telling a person to self-terminate; Is it ugly, yes. Wrong? Yes.
But putting tape over people’s mouths is a slippery slope and this is what you get; Martial Law, the prototype.
People who don’t even say anything inflammatory are getting threats by the site itself because of what the bot subjectively deems as “hate speech” whatever the fuck that means, literally, “Hate speech”, you telling me my shoes look tacky could be hate speech, should you lose your job over it? Stupid terminology made up by illogical people that just want to weaponize words to oppress people. that’s all this is, and i’m sick of it.
This “hate speech” era and all these made-up phobia’s started showing up around 2013-2015, and it hasn’t stopped sounding stupid since. It’s like the country is racing to be the laughing stock of the planet.
People who say dumb crap get policed by public opinion, and then it’s their right to either defend or cave-in or concede. That’s the system, it’s how we deal with outliers in real life.
We the people are the correction system, that’s why it’s so out of place for these sites to overstep this much to tell you-
We’ll silence you or take your channel:
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made Mods from Social media sites cave-in to reason over email because I pressed them over idiotic TOS; Exception being DeviantArt, the guy was nice but apparently it was out of his hands to do anything about the situation, so I gave him a break and backed off & took the L.
But all in all, these sites really need to calm down and stop trying to be everyone’s parent.
The MC/author is product of the times of modernized living creating housebroken boys and no men.
I feel so sorry for the ladies of this generation.
Stuck with a bunch of stockholm syndrome floormats that want to be abused & ridiculed 24/7 to feel the security of a woman's attention even if it's negative, likely because they didn't get enough of a woman's positive attention when it mattered.
Because that's the tune they've been conditioned dance by like tools either in the home or first world countries already misandrist propaganda.
American society treats boys like an accessory at best but Japanese males are so beyond hope at this point.
A lot of em crave almost every form of rejection or abuse ironically as a form of pleasure, that shit is not natural.
If you raise a child; healthy in the mountains or steppe countryside in a functioning socially competent village/community AWAY from cluster cities, away from mass media, they don't develop this bullshit, it just doesn't happen.
You only get this bullshit in stretched thin- abusive societies that are so successful they "THINK" they can afford to treat men and boys like garbage.
And then to no one's surprise a lot men and boys then internalize that cultural abuse & then desire more of it, ie. stockholm syndrome-- no different from a child seeking abusive partners because they normalized abuse from their parent as normal.
Same situation.
This is why boys need love and empathy. Parenting is not a joke lmfao.
Corey died doing what's taken for granted so so so so soooo so so much in this modern era of disrespecting manhood, fatherhood, maleness. So much disregard when both the expectation and instinct of a man in it's true form is to protect and preserve what he's responsible for.
Corey was a real man, America as a country need to get it's shit together and honor that & stop trivializing a man's stake in civilization.
The BvS fight in The Dark Knight Returns PT 2 was leagues better, so much better it's not even funny. Granted Bruce shouldn't have won that either but at least the choreography was as it should've been.
so many contrivances & asspulls, this should've just been Batmans movie, pretty much was
The motivation for Waynes rage was in the beginning, the whole set up with the Capitol was unnecessary, so much gd time.
And they only fought because Supes didn't just open his mouth and explain Martha was in trouble instead of talking in Vagueanese.
THEN on top of all that, Superman dies, what a goddamn mess.
But that soundtrack, that casting for Batman? That warehouse scene? So good.
Likely coincidence but that's how elites address us: "Vulgar", cattle, masses, collateral. "Vulgar masses"
Anyways, the man wasn't a priest, he was just a judge. He could've gotten married and got laid that way. He was in an era predating modern feminism, wokeness, when too many western/first world women being corrupted & entitled-- He had every opportunity to get somebody in an era where women were the one's tryna avoid getting canceled, permanently.
He probably couldn't maintain with a lady because he's so insufferable himself, up his own bum, thinking the religion and his status put him above the natural needs of a mortal man.
And then when a 16 year old awakened the reality that he is NOT better than anyone else, and he has needs too, the easy solution to the problem never dawned on him. He HAD to have that girl because Frollo was important, Frollo is always right, Frollo gets what he wants.
Because God loves Frollo more than everyone else.
The girl was a witch, a siren, it was her fault he found HER attractive. Now how many innocent girls & women were reduced to ash because of that shit in THIS timeline.
Pov: Minding your damn business, the wrong person found you attractive, they can't cope with the fact that you're out of their reach & thus the logical solution is to project their frustration onto you and make you bend over or disappear.
And Skibbity Bop---! Now you're a witch. just like that.
One of the most famous of holy hypocrites in media, fitting death for a true loser.
Nagant is one of the most irrelevant DLC additions to the Horikoshi “Who gives a shit” character gallery since that Clown jackass with Bunny ears named “Mirko”
The artist in me admires the man’s sketching skills, what he achieved in concept only.
Horikoshi can draw his ass off, but holy shit his writing is tripe.
We see this chic in the prison break at the end of Jaku arc 296-300, she just shows up behind Deku 310-312, we get a fight, then her backstory:
(in true Horikoshi fashion)
completely interrupts the goddamn fight, fucking the momentum of the fight in the ass, as usual-
Granted, Flashbacks in fights can work, GI JOE Resolute Snake eyes vs Storm Shadow or Gundam SEED, depending on the pace of the fight, and if the information is crucial.
What she revealed was not new information. Hero Society is corrupt, okay. Got it.
She just revealed she was basically a hitman for them, okay, big deal.
And to top it off, we DON’T KNOW this bitch to justify why we should care.
No hints of vulnerability beforehand, duality, character beats, actual time to spend with her so a backstory can actually make me give a shit, a favorite color? nothing- no relevant information prior
So why are we getting a backstory on her like she’s been in the story as long as Jeanist or Hawks.
And if we're going to get one this soon, why haven't we gotten any quality time to identify with her?
Then immediately after this blood riddled backstory, Deku saving a certain returning character & then stopping her fall was enough to sway her trauma, PTSD, and disillusioned faith in the system.
Saying “He’s a real hero” or “You’re the real deal” basically sucking him off like everyone else
Deku is a special boy everyone, true special snowflake. It must be true because everyone in the story keeps repeating it over and over and over.
Now, childhood trauma or disillusionment isn’t something you can just turn off with a good deed, ask Bruce Banner, Bruce Wayne or Jason Todd, or Homelander
This woman was an assassination, trained from childhood, a cheapass Deadshot with tits.
So she’s seen and done some shit.
This brat saving one guy was enough for her to go: “Guess i was wrong”
THEN after this immediately goes boom......
Hawks “I know you well”
Too bad we don’t lmfao, literally.
One backstory doesn’t substitute INVESTMENT. Which takes effort, time, and vision. Horikoshi.
Then Hawks is screaming at her after she gets murked, reiterating her importance as to who she is & what she still has to do in this world, WHEN I DON’T know who the fuck she is.
This is like King Bumi showing up during the Eclipse arc in S3, except we don’t get any of the episodes beforehand establishing his character, or his connection to Aang.
He just shows up. And he’s imprisoned, and Aang cares about this but we don’t know this guy so how are we supposed to care.
Her combat debut, her backstory, and she gets mortally wounded in the same situation.
That’s some fucked up pacing my guy.
And he didn’t have the balls to kill her, ALL FOR ONE yet again failing to kill someone who’s Quirk has nothing to do with endurance.
So how IN THE actual the fuck did she survive this:
POINT.BLANK.
Trash.
Stop making my man AFO look weak.
There were people in the comment section really reacting to her getting bodied like we know her like that.
We have more history with Deku’s HOSPITAL bed than this DLC waifu. Which is where her value is coming from, the fact that she’s another Kohei waifu insert that people are drooling over because
“Exist as a remotely attractive female and thus you have innate value to the fandom, nothing else matters about your character.”
Not that she actually matters or she has an identity or a stake in what’s going, she just “purdy”
That’s all it takes, and it pisses me off only because these Authors know that lmfao. Bare bones, bare minimum.
I guarantee you if she was plain looking face like Helga Pataki, with a more realistic body type, BUT she’s better written this time.
She wouldn’t be getting as many simps.
Guarantee it.
All in all, i’ve never had such a headache in one fight before in a manga since the Naruto exams, this was narrative whiplash.
She really just showed up in 297, now we get this shit like she’s established.
