If someone has to approach you for something to happen, every time?
Maybe Men shouldn't have been made to carry women through the dating process in the first place.
Complacency is laziness, Why is it you get to be lazy and men HAVE TO ask you like you're a first class citizen above males
See that's the conversation we need to have.
Not feminism being the reason why men don't ask, the question is WHY DID IT TAKE FEMINIST propaganda for men to wake up and refuse to be tools anymore.
If grownass adults need you to approach them like you're here on this planet to serve, maybe thats not a game you should be playing if the traditional rules say majority of the risk is in your court, but only if you're a man.
_It's soooooo easy for these women to ask why-- when they risk nothing of their ego, when all they have to do is sit back, look pretty and wait for opportunities to come to them._
Earning nothing of a mans time, and expecting so much. And boys are taught just handing over their attention is how its supposed to be. You're supoosed to crawl to her like a dog & pay and pay & pay & pay.
Woman: I'm not GOING to meet you in the middle, why WON'T you come TO ME?
Thats a parasite. Not a partner.
A grownass child you have to babysit with your wallet, not an asset to cherish.
If she NEEDS you to approach, you're babysitting someone's child, a girl. Not spending time with a woman.
When you hear women complain like this, that means they're letting you know they have some growing up to do. Stay clear.
That's not feminisms fault, that's actually a good thing. Why in the fuck would you ever play a game where the rules intrinsically favor one side over the other, and then blame feminism for freeing you from being the made the fool & after being taught that being the fool was how it should be- only if you're a man.
That's not a game, its not courtship, actually; its a punchline. And the joke is any man that signed up for it.
7:55 / 9:00 Are the highlights, the juicy parts of what's going on in propaganda media. From your movies, misandrist conditioning, etc.
The decline of culture, sabotage is never instantaneous, it's a slow burn, a slow infection to poison generations. A slow knife- the patient blade, that infiltrates your ads, your tv shows, infects the minds of girls, and derails the minds of boys:
The slow knife, cuts deeper. The slow decline, the patient sabotage, is what brings down Empires.
The core of fanservice is exploitation for audience retention, for some it might not have "been bad" to see her bent over for no reason beside the fact that she's not ugly.
But to exploit a character solely because they're attractive, thus commence "fanservice" ie. sequence of events to reduce them to just a hot piece of meat in circumstantial situations geared specifically to further reduce them to a sex object---- Doesn't help them either.
Characterization builds character, fanservice takes away from them or does absolutely nothing for the character but dehumanizes them.
Because it's FAN+service, not CHARACTER+service.
And true fanservice? In reality is reference, through-lines, easter eggs, that's fanservice.
Stan Lee's cameos throughout the years, that's true fanservice. Anime/manga, predictably has this degenerate context where fanservice in anime specifically means a character (mainly FEMALE, ofc) gets bent over the couch for some instant gratification dopamine fixes, meaningless.
Basically Anime & manga has hijacked the term fanservice to mean "Sex-ploit characters for no reason, at any cost even at the expense of the story and character in question-- ya know, for the kids"
ie. Consistent Cockteasing is considered fanservice.
I hear what they're saying. But let's be frank, for some it wouldn't have been bad, but what good would it have done Dianna? Absolutely nothing. That's the point.
Her being attractive, is enough.
We, fandom/society/culture, have to learn not to exploit what we admire, just because it activates monke brain.
We don't have to ruin everything we touch just because it wouldn't hurt anyone.
And that's precisely why I respect the restraint on part of the writers, Turn A Gundam has fanservice, but for Dianna? It's especially toned down. And it further helps how seriously she's handled, and I can watcher cuter, lighter moments without worrying about an obligatory shot of her ass, crotch, or chest for no reason.
I can trust this show to know what the fuck it's doing without treating me like an idiot who has no other incentive to watch a show beyond the basic-minded factors. I like shows that take itself/ thus me/ we the audience, seriously.
Perhaps given the fact that her twin (Kihel) was a stand-in for the other "fanservice" moments and there was no point in doing it to Dianna when you already saw Kihel. Whatever the case, Dianna is more so solid because the writers (in an anime no less) respected their work enough to know NOT to do it.
Wouldn't have been bad, but it wouldn't have helped. Because it never does.
aaaand yet Deku is curing or subsiding Tomura's lifetime of trauma by literally punching the darkness in his heart away to free his inner child or some shit. So what the author made fun of or addressed as a cliche, he's subscribing to in the Finale of the series anyway.
"Self aware" my ass, the man is a hack. Good guy i'm sure, but he didn't know what the fuck he was doing. The story is FULL of references from better shit, dude literally has MARIO in the story as a Doctor. A street called "Tattooine."
CLEARLY Kohei is a fanboy of western ideas but did not know what he was adapting when he copied that homework.
That's like ridiculing the color blue, but the visual motif of the entire story is blue anyway. You're not a genius for pointing out the trope exists, you get props for doing something different FROM the thing you're referencing as a bad thing or at least try to expand what you have.
So far, the movies have done a better job treating deku as the main character than Horikoshi's himself.
Episodic Impressions: My Hero Academia (episode 40)
"It's their culture-" *I love that excuse. Weak as an arthritic kneecap and yet people repeat that same non-point over and over again as if "CULTURE" is an argument.
Different culture makes sexualizing minors okay, meanwhile, you're justifying another "culture" while having nothing to do with the paradigm you're defending, so what's your basis of defending a world you're not even a part of.
And it's not even "culture", it's Legalization. Which is a stupid, & dangerous argument, for if Daddy Gov. says it's okay does that mean morally it's sound??? No. Incorrect.
If severe Martial Law in the U.S started tomorrow & reproductive rights for everyone were stripped to reduce population and everyone in the U.S had curfew effective immediately--Or marrying 5-10 year olds was legally allowed or giving up your infants to the State if they say so-- would any of that being "CULTURE" & Legal make it okay? No.
Apologetics trying to justify exploitation of kids in cartoons because "it's allowed", are social risk factors. VERY dangerous attitude to have.
And it's even more embarrassing when these mooks don't even subscribe to what actually is "Japanese culture", like their theatre, their language, history, festivals, etc.
but will defend the sexual exploitation of girls/characters in general (cause it's not just girls but mainly girls) because age of consent or (muh boners) and call that Japanese "culture".
Ppl wildin, hard.
2023 [UPDATE]: Japan raised the age of consent to 16 because sex crimes against women and children have gotten out of control in the past 30 years, geeee i wonder why a Country with a booming industry with a sub-culture that glorifies dehumanizing and over-sexualizing women and children would for no reason at all have a rising issue with sex crimes against women & children?
I'm doing some research to confirm what I suspect, but I know what I know. Youtube has some kind of killswitch function to basically take a video off of life support and then it flatlines.
Example.
Video does 300views first 24-36 hours, and instead of rising on the graph then naturally sloping down & rising like a normal graph, like any normal pattern of graph.
In 2024s CorporationTube, the video that was doing consistently well suddenly just flatlines after 12 days.
Prior to the 10th day mark, the graph rises and rises.
So the question becomes: Why isnt something that's doing good, continue to rise and do good?
What changed?
I certainly didnt do anything and I just sat back and wondered why a low effort video is getting more attention than my better videos. Sooo it wasn't me.
See YouTube agents, shills, misguided people love love Loooove to gaslight small creators into believing that they (creators) are the sole issue.
Your content is "just not good", and yet so many people can attest that their LOW EFFORRT uploads that they themselves know are not good, for some reason gets more views than the content they put effort into.
Its not consistent. Not that logic nor the system they're defending.
Your channel is doing "ok" aka barely making bread, but its not dead so "everything is okay, question nothing".
See, When a good video flatlines like someone decided in a booth that your video did good "enough" for the month, and decided it was time for it to go to sleep for 10 years.
Or 5 uploads in a row do less than usual like your content is being hidden from traffic altogether.
(Because how the hell is a video supposed to get traction to grow if it's not allowed to circulate in the first place?) 🧠
Like dead on arrival. Custom thumbnails, specified time so subscribers know its up, certain boxes checked & unchecked for maximum algorithm efficiency (All the functions SponsorTube added to make posting videos more and more of a burden than FUN🌈 ie. the original purpose of the site)
So with ALL the people on YouTube, clicking and clicking and clicking per second- a channel gets only 50views of traffic on a fairly well produced video after a year?
Huh?
That is very VERY unnatural. You'll have people with 50k-1M subs struggling to get even half the equivalent views. Some with sponsors.
So imagine the likelihood that a small channel of 5k and under is being suppressed by a platform that blatantly shows its dishonesty, distance, and double standards.
When a good video doing good suddenly flatlines like it was smothered in the crib, thats not the "algorithm", that was analytical assassination.
YouTube made a HUGE mistake giving us the ability to see our videos numbers, now their fraudulent system can be see in action in realtime.
If your video is shit, then its shit. The actual issue, is YouTube are frauds BECAUSE the system is inconsistent and fraudulent.
INCONSISTENT.
YOU do not Broadcast Yourself anymore, WE broadcast our sponsors. No sponsors? Tough nuts.
You don't matter. And if we want? What you create won't exist either.
The "it's a business" bullshit doesn't hold up, because if the video isn't supporting hate, terrorism, all the isms but its just an edit or a cool fight, or some original music and its being shadow banned-
Consistent suppression of potential & creativity, is not good business, **it's a blatant failsafe to prevent anyone self-made from ever, and I mean EVER competing with paid Youtubers and specifically Big Companies, the favored spoiled children of the platform that they'll never legitimately strike, or shadowban, block or takedown.** Corporations owned by elites, YouTube will NEVER treat them with half the shit they spare for us. Not that anyone today can't ever make it, but the point is to prevent it.
Its about maintaining hierarchy.
It's fascism, and it's remarkably stupid. Its a mechanism to keep med-small channels in their place and keep the sponsored groups on top. Cause even big Youtubers, while they get privileges, even they're not safe for long if Youtubes good graces go sour.
That's all this is. And its very obvious when you don't allow people to gaslight you when there's but so much you can do when the people controlling the system do not care about creators to begin with (everyone knows this), or deflect the actual problem as a non-issue because apathy takes less braincells.
Cause if channels were allowed to develop and grow naturally? A lot of us wouldn't be at 1Mil, let alone 500k, lets be honest, you're worth what you produce.
But you'd definitely would be big enough to where people would know you exist.
The entire point of this new system is prevent you from Broadcasting Yourself. That's the point.
*Because there's no lucrative point for any business to suppress content that follows the goddamn rules anyway. Unless it's to gatekeep or regulate who gets to succeed on your watch.*
It's control.
YouTube Analytics, all those functions, them giving you "tips", agents dispelling "myths" about the almighty algorithm, they are trying to keep you complacent. Its all control through giving you an illusion of control.
Like looking at numbers is making a damn difference, they know exactly what they're doing.
Make you & your content the problem, you're not good enough, when in reality we have the solution with the flip of a switch. Because we run the goddamn site. But gaslight you to keep you in check and prevent you from asking questions.
Control. Control. Control.
YouTube became an experiment for Dystopian level fascism, it has all the hallmarks for it. Put rats in a concrete maze, then encourage them to claw through the concrete itself, knowing it's pointless, then when they fail, tell them they're not clawing hard enough, when you have the key to their prosperity. Brilliant model.
Point being,
The keyword is the 'flatlining'. Dips to rise is normal, like economy. But erratic graphs to flatlines are: Unnatural, inorganic, orchestrated, inconsistent. Unnatural.
The main issue with her character is not entirely what she did, the Viltrumites are bred to be intergalactic Vikings, Vikings raped people. It happened. And she’s a bad guy.
But the issue is, she didn’t stay bad: they tried the (she comes around) trope, that was problem #1 they tried humanizing her or contriving some redemption while she never directly or appropriately deals with what she did dehumanizing her baby’s daddy in any real believable way.
They tried to Omni-Man her WITHOUT doing what made Omni-Man’s turn work in the first place, narrowly so but it worked.
There’s no organic consequence to what she did. We’re not in Viking times, Invincible is supposed to be in a semi-modern era, if not beyond. So the handling of this was horrid.
She’s very oddly protected from backlash for what she did in-story.
And there’s no narrative point to her existence beyond being a means to birth Markus (which means little to nothing because he wasn’t instrumental in the war, just a DLC side plot post-event), which is hilarious that she’d name the boy after the man she raped (i wonder if that was before or after she miraculously had her little change of heart)
So she either named the boy after the dehumanized father (for some reason, cause it’s not she knew Mark, so why name him after someone she doesn’t know) or she became a good person and thought naming him after Mark was her being a good person or some shit. (stupid, lunatic)
Either way, it’s stupid. She doesn’t work, because even by comic standards, it’s not realistic. At all. Even all these years later, it has not aged well AT ALL.
She just gets to rape someone, Mark protects her from consequence, she threatens him with more rape, she doesn’t suffer any long term consequences.
And no her death wasn’t a consequence of that directly, cause if she’s dead how tf is her character supposed to grow from a consequence by being dead.
The point is for HER to woman up & develop.
The point is she suffers consequence to become a better person organically, not change off-screen, and now suddenly she’s a good person. She tells Eve she’s “sorry” (ha, she’s sorry she brutally raped a person) but she doesn’t regret it.
Yeeeeah, sounds like a real sympathetic character with dimensions doesn’t it.
“Thomas” or KORR-El The 3,000 year old Daxamite raped Supergirl on the moon. When she confronted him about it later to fight, he threatened her he’d to do it again because her pressing him at the moment was turning him on....and she backs off.
Years later before he dies saving Kara’s partner in a battle he says to let Kara know he’s “sorry”, and because their Baby is a good kid, he doesn’t regret it.
Doesn’t sound so simple when it’s reversed huh? Guess what, it’s equally fucked either way. It’s beyond psychotic to think you can wipe something as inhuman as rape away because you’re sorry and the baby is a good kid.
And the fact that she gets a semi-honorable death, like she earned that shit?! HOLY MOLEY.
I think the story is confusing her with Nolan, or forgot that she raped the main character and actually enjoyed it. And told him to “Man up” afterwards !! lmfao.
No lack of Misandry here. Keeping the “men don’t matter” trope going strong, well done Kirkman.
Again, I’d love to see that shit reversed. Amazon would never ok The First season, it would never get greenlit if a man told a woman to “woman up/ man up/ grow up” after he rapes her in superhuman fashion to where he clothes are history.
Now, they might change it, but since as of (March 2024) the cunt is already in Season 2, I don’t think they’ll course-correct at all.
Cause this is their opportunity to fix her character, doesn’t mean don’t have her rape mark but she better feel the ramifications on-screen
But you see that right there is why she doesn’t work.
She doesn’t go through any due process or consequence that makes sense.
And now I’m here HOPING they fix her, because we live in a society where dehumanizing men is played as a joke, male suicide & rape is an afterthought like Men are second class citizens but telling a woman to stay in the kitchen is career suicide, in 30 years that might even put you in prison.
And no, i’m not joking. Women are that privileged.
But men getting raped is a non-issue.
Same exact energy here, she rapes a guy, and gets to have a good life, and only changes because she decided to: because of someone else, not that SHE grew as a person of her own accord. If I remember correctly, she didn’t even apologize to his face! Or no moment of closure for the two of them, it’s like the writers wanted the rape scene but didn’t know how to navigate the situation after they got their shock-factor.
Because notice how Nolan wasn’t out here notably raping Deb. Anissa did that shit, because Anissa wanted to rape someone after she was told no.
And we see the changes Nolan went through, Anissa? Nope.
Scumbag character because of shitty writing.
If you want to deal with a topic like rape? Treat with the same sensitivity if it were a woman, or don’t do it at all. Women are not special. Men are people. They build your goddamn cities.
This was another one of those Kirkman-isms where he just does edgy shit to be edgy and didn’t know what the fuck he was actually trying do or say with it or where he was going with it.
We have characters like Vegeta who committed planetary genocide single-handedly, but he’s still somehow a beloved character nowadays with a following. (I’m personally not a fan, he’s too goddamn whiney but I was a fan a few years back so I get the appeal.)
IF THAT can happen for a genocidal lunatic, Anissa did not have to be handled the way she was, there was a way to do it properly.
And the most believable way? Is not revenge porn, not justice porn, but organic consequences.
The lack of that, is why she doesn’t work.
Rightfully hated character, but she didn’t needed to be hated this much, she could’ve been better.
All they had to do was handle her & the topic with more fucks to give beyond the actual fucking or just stay away from it if they didn’t have a plan for her to develop appropriately in the first place.
