if you cared about shoujo you'd probably spend more time actually addressing root causes of the problems surrounding it (ie SEXISMM OOOOO) instead of pouting about how every dude bro online might view the group of fans "complaining"

Hotter take

you don't even need to care about shoujo to have an invested interest because manga is for everyone and that includes women and femmes

This is what happens when you let the AI tell you what One Piece is about

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

I didnt really engage too much with the online Jojo fandom for a bit as they are...annoying but im back and into Crucified memes

As a Final Fantasy fan, we should have been making Crucified memes since the 94 when Kefka showed up as an angel

When turns out funny Valentine, who is incredibly evil… still way less evil than every politician except for Bernie Sanders, I guess

I want them to make a Shonen Jump rpg so I can say nerd shit like this

“Goku has objectively the strongest base might, pairing with Vegeta will give 1.5 damage but Yugi‘s Honorable Duel skill will set Goku‘s luck from 12 to 99. That’s way better for late game bosses like Dio and Itachi”

Some guy posted a TLDR comment about Japan dosnt know what racism, and I’m injecting politics

But the context was a Jojo ch that begins with the narrator saying ”Jim crow” is over but even in the 90s racism lived” and the klan lynches a man because they think he is mixed and kissed a white girl

Hidive been a real one

George J. Horvath @landofobscusion.bsky.social · 5d

@hidive.com is on Bluesky, but here's a screencap from their Twitter account where they state what should feel obvious when it comes to the idea of using AI for anime translation & timing... but in today's world it's unfortunately not so obvious.

Good on Hidive, regardless.

"We get asked this question. So, here's our response:
'We don't use AI for subtitles. Every line is carefully timed and translated by real people (who cry during finales and debate Best Girls, just like you).'"

Love Jojo fans have the nerves of getting scared of the anime catching up to the manga when the manga is literally over 50 volumes and 25 years ahead of the anime

It’s me, I’m fans
