The “discussions” I’ve had with people about continuity in Toku shows has taken years off my life.

Also, (though I’m a png tuber)I can be bald and wear pajamas without anyone throwing shade. So…win/win.

A similar thing happened to me about 25 years ago, when I was a preteen. It was a nightmare.

Now, thanks to AI, so many young girls all over the world will have to live that same nightmare.

it's 30 years later and this still happens.

Jenna Ortega revealed in an interview with The New York Times that she quit Twitter after seeing explicit images of herself generated by Al when she was a teenager. She also became inundated with messages from fans that ranged from "disgusting" to "absurd."
"I hate AI," Ortega said. "I mean, here's the thing: AI could be used for incredible things. I think I saw something the other day where they were saying that artificial intelligence was able to detect breast cancer four years before it progressed. That's beautiful. Let's keep it to that. Did I like being 14 and making a Twitter account because I was supposed to and seeing dirty edited content of me as a child? No. It's terrifying. It's corrupt. It's wrong."

Thanks for everyone who dropped by the stream! Happy to have caught up with #HSR and #BlueProtocol is fun so far too. Next is Pokemon ZA (hopefully).

Finished the #HSR catchup, now playing #BlueProtocolStarResonance for the first time! (For a bit)

TheRealMattHuntVO @therealmatthunt.bsky.social · 20h

Gonna go set up for stream— I’m mostly awake.

TheRealMattHuntVO @therealmatthunt.bsky.social · 21h

I’ll let you know my opinion on that when it’s back up.

TheRealMattHuntVO @therealmatthunt.bsky.social · 21h

Streaming in 1.5 hours. 🥳 #HSR If I’m not tired and we finish catching up to the story quickly, I might try out Blue Protocol afterward.

TheRealMattHuntVO @therealmatthunt.bsky.social · 21h

#Gachiakuta continues to be amazing; new op from Mori Calliope is a banger too. 🔥

TheRealMattHuntVO @therealmatthunt.bsky.social · 22h

No idea about Metal Heroes, but yes for super Sentai. Anything released by Toei in territories they control has to go through them.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

This is an important note.

In the late 80s the reason we had Sentai, Rider and Metal Heroes all airing all at once because Rider was on JNN at the time, with Sentai and Metal Heroes occupying a proto-SHT niche on TV Asahi.

TheRealMattHuntVO @therealmatthunt.bsky.social · 1d

People act like Toei didn’t four (sometimes more) separate Toku properties at one time or another. There’s no current niche to fill during SHT, but there’s so many more places for an original show to release. That’s all I’ll say on the matter.

As to the original work being developed; keep in mind that Toei can’t distribute Sentai here because of Hasbro. So if they want to make money here and have it not be Kamen Rider (which they don’t fully own anyway) they’d need to do something original.
