some people in the tags of my stone ocean tw post mentioned that they wish there was a list of triggers when getting into jojo, so i figured i'd make one! i'm not into jojo anymore, but i've read/watched up to steel ball run and some of jojolion, so these will be done from the wiki, other warnings like doesthedogdie and my own recollection.
this is not intended to be used as a reason to discourage people from watching the show or reading the manga. this is an educational tool so people are aware of what they're getting into.
if i've forgotten anything, please feel free to add it in the replies/reblogs!

there are no official translations of part 6. all of them are done by fan translation teams, same with sbr and jojolion. please keep this in mind when reading translations that are not from VIZmedia.
If it’s ok to add, the anime adaptations of part 1-5, most if not all the openings have sequences of flashing lights and colors and fast animation and in the show there’s also sequences of flashing lights, colors and eye strain. Just a warning for anyone who is prone to photosensory issues
if i might add as well, a while back i made a comprehensive list of animal death/violence depictions in the anime for a friend, complete with timestamps to skip precisely what you need to skip, so if anyone needs that here you go
Parts 1 & 2
Part 1 - Phantom Blood & Part 2 - Battle Tendency

Looking at Pinterest drawing tutorials to make myself angrier and more full of rage
Much has been said about unrealistic female anatomy, but is it not even more bizarre and fucking terrible that <90% of generic male drawing tutorials show some kind of monstrous aftermath of bodybuilding, steroids and extreme dehydration and are like "this is a basic male torso"
In the nicest way possible, if you see this as "basic" male anatomy and all other possibilities as variations on this, your art will be Not Good except in circumstances of dumb luck
99% of men Do Not look like this, ever, at all, and out of those that ever do, they Do Not look like this 99% of the time.
Abs don't appear defined unless you're tensing and flexing your whole abdomen, and they don't appear that defined unless you're unhealthily dehydrated. You don't get abs like that in the first place unless you're doing intense workouts, dumping protein in everything you eat, and probably restricting food unhealthily specifically to get that kind of look
But it's not a problem just because it's unrealistic, it's a problem because it betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of what muscle is and does.
Like, drawing bodies in dynamic poses is not going to be very fun for you if you don't get that muscle is squishy when relaxed and you're imagining it as this tough, stiff pulley system
like, if you look at renaissance and baroque paintings of men, which were painted by masters of anatomy who did intensive studies including disections to learn how to depict the male body, the men in those paintings and sculptures DONT look like the above. they almost never have defined abs.
for instance, if you look at rubens abduction of ganymede,
an idealised figure of a man who is meant to be very attractive. hes literally ganymede! but not only does he not have abs, you can see rolls of fat where his trunk bends. his arms are clearly muscular but the dehydrating looking hyperdefinition is clearly lacking. below is michelangelo, who specialized in painting extremely muscular men and did more dissections than the average doctor (apologies for image quality but it shows my point)
so yeah please dont learn to draw men from tutorials that look like that. learn it from secret pope-sanctioned dissections
i hate all the reviews of Jeanette McCurdy's book that are like "don't be turned off by the title of I'm glad my mom died, she's actually justified in feeling that way" like does every abuse survivor in your life have to live up to your personal standards of suffering before they're allowed to harbor any resentment towards their abusers? when someone expresses resentment towards their parent is your first impulse really to tone police them because the possibility of someone genuinely hating their parent is scarier to you than the possibility of child abuse? when someone says they're happy their parent is no longer alive WHY is your first thought not that their parent must have been heinously abusive, but that this person must be a crazy hysterical attention-seeking bitch?? fucking neutered ass society where every strongly-held sentiment must be approved as acceptable by the detached masses or else you're out of your mind. united states of no one be angry at anyone ever it makes me uncomfortable
All of the internet should have the option to be in dark mode. Having a white background as the only option for a website is bad. Some people who have chronic migraines just straight up cannot use these websites without consequences, and it's something I've never seen anyone talk about as being an accesibility issue but it 100% is
Hey guess what? It does. 3 easy steps: step 1, use firefox. Step 2, get the addon "dark background and light text" . Step 3, turn it on and pick your colors for how dark you want it to be. I have had issues with it on less than 10 websites total in the past month or more. It is excellent, and makes the whole internet habe darkmode by default. You're welcome. (And if you refuse because you use chrome instead, you bring the eyestrain on yourself and you deserve it. Firefox is better, die mad about it.)
Especially before January 2023 (four months from time of this posting), when Google Chrome will update its code for extensions, preventing ad-blockers from working properly.
Here’s an article about the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s campaign against Google over this:
Google Chrome's upcoming crackdown on ad-blockers and other extensions still really sucks, EFF laments
I got this and set the font to pale gray to avoid eyestrain even more. If you need contrast I understand, but if you’re like me and the #FFFFFF is eye-smarting, try #C0C0C0.
it annoys me when sapphic women see an attractive woman and are like “i’m no better than a man 😳😔” like BABE you are allowed to see an attractive woman and want to fuck her!!! free yourself from the cottagecore PG13 narrative of sapphic attraction, look at her with lust in your heart!!!
i see keith haring art nowadays and just start smashing shit. stop making me look at his art please <3 he was a pedophile i know he was very important to many of us (myself included) but he slept w black and latino minors and like... no thanks! stop rb'ing his shit thank u
hello it’s me a software developer in the 2020s and I hope you are excited for the new version of our software that you’ve been using for a long time! now it has fewer features and the ones that are still there are worse than before, but at least the interface is adapted to shitty touchscreens with meat styluses and we got rid of all those pesky keyboard shortcuts! hope you enjoy! hahahah no of course you can’t just decline to upgrade, this is all run on the web, what are you, some kind of stallman luddite?
