What is it with old JRPGs becoming just fucking boring and annoying in the final bits

[tarisbackyard]

I think what mostly annoys me about anime with reincarnation (usually isekai), is that they rarely to never really dig into the identity issues the reincarnated characters should have to deal with. Where is the body horror about having to grow up again. Where is the loss of identity. Where's the wrangling with seeing your personality (not) change?

[epiphainie]

people get so mad when you tell them that their lowbrow entertainment they enjoy is actually lowbrow

[epiphainie]

everyone wants their self-indulgent romantasy to be considered high literature and whatever new mainstream pop boy/girl to be treated as the next beethoven and their gay fluff show on streaming apps to be revolutionary art changing the world and like, they're not. and that's okay. i'm literally watching the stupidest show right now and it's fine. it doesn't have to be more.

[epiphainie]

there's also the argument of how pop culture used to be the trickle down from high culture for the longest time but now it's an ouroboros eating itself as access and willingness to engage with high culture have been systematically destroyed and diminished through the last decades so your popcorn flick moviemaker now only gets inspiration from other popcorn flicks when their foreparents used to actually read literally and see art of all kinds and your pop musicians used to listen to all sorts of new and old music rather than just their contemporaries/competition and maybe this absence of any sort of culture outside of our easy algorithms is why everyone's so defensive of what they passively consume and so attached to it as a part of their identity but that's a discussion for another day

I suddenly got reminded of an interesting word in my language that I think is unfortunately fading into obscurity (internauta), so out of curiosity:

Does Your language have (or used to have) a single-word term for an internet user?

Yes, it has one (tell me in the comments/tags!)

No, it doesn't have one

Bald option

If you don’t let go of your prejudices and past grudges, your heart won’t blossom. 2013 is coming, let’s make a change. We only have one planet so let’s show each other some kindness.

once I snorted a fat line of nuance and everything started depending. watch out

[tarisbackyard]

What gets me about tone indicator discourse is, that folks seem to run on the assumption that people are conscious about the tone of the things the say/write. Bro, half of the time I only realise what I am saying after I said it, figuring shit out as I go along. I have a right to speak, too.

"It's just clothes, dude."

Shut up.

Are you an artist, and do you think it's rude when someone comments something along the line of "I don't like this ship, but this is a beautiful art" OR "I don't ship this, but this is a beautiful art" under a fan art that ships two fictional characters together?

I'm an artist. Yes, both of these comments are rude

I'm an artist. The first one is rude. The second one is not rude*

I'm an artist. No, neither of these comments are rude

I'm not an artist. Yes, both of these comments are rude

I'm not an artist. The first one is rude. The second one is not rude*

I'm not an artist. No, neither of these comments are rude

Remaining time: 2 days 18 hours

*The first one = I don't like this ship, but this is a beautiful art

The second one = I don't ship this, but this is a beautiful art
