Interesting.

So you truly feel that anime *as a medium* is intrinsically better?

And yet it appears that your reasons aren't actually about the mediums themselves… but about the works you've seen in each.

I believe you can find plenty of impactful films dripping w/ unrestrained emotional pathos 😃

Gotchu! :)

So your assertion is that anime is *intrinsically* a better storytelling *medium* than: the rest of animation globally, all of 'film', AND let's say comics/manga?

Curious for your reasons! 😃
And why separate from 'animation'

(Me: I consider it a vibrant part of cinema/motion pictures.)

‪Update: Diamond D's vocals are still in the mix, but Biggie left cuz Ghostface from "Protect Ya Neck" joined in and pretty much took over from there lol‬

‪Which was appropriate because I've been in Staten Island all afternoon haha‬

‪(This blend actually sounds pretty good…)‬

So are you including anime as part of cinema, or are you separating it from the rest of motion pictures as a medium?

And same question, western animation.

I meant One Spoon of Chocolate... sorry, kinda tired lol

I don't even know what this is but it sounds fun

The cynicism of those executing this barbarism upon the trans prison population is real… so yes maybe most of them don't see it as a solution.

But what they are *telling* the world is that this inhumane torture and mistreatment is actually (somehow) a solution to a problem.

Some drank the kool-aid

The guards, the wardens, the people who build the prisons for profit, the lawmakers who promise those builders that there will continue to be a steady supply of new inmates to fill up new prisons….

It's a real bleak situation. Mass incarceration is inhumane. Black ppl are disproportionately jailed…

Doesn't seem to work for people with custom domain handles :(

Yeah & that's definitely what it is for this administration. 100%. It's a *super* cynical. Meaning it doesn't even matter what they DO believe privately.

It's all about using trans folk as both a punching bag AND the scary new boogieman in order to rile up the most mentally vulnerable of their base

But NOW on that topic, I do think you'd be surprised how many conservatives legitimately believe that serious problems are being solved by this ham-fisted and backwards "solution".

It's too easy to fall back on easy stereotypes when attempting to understand vast groups. Sometimes ppl are just wrong

Yes, exactly 🙏 It .*appeared* that way. It's ultimately my responsibility to make sure I'm understood, even with few words.

In public service, nuts-n-bolts-wise there is often the veneer of "solve the problem for all". Regardless of how cynical the people involved on all levels really are. 1/2

Exactly. That's the point. It's not a solution in the slightest, let alone a humane one.

Please, don't put words in my mouth. That wasn't AT ALL what I was (attempting) to communicate. (I could've been more clear.)

I'm talking about how the US prison system is built on an inherently cruel premise,

They look at this as solving a problem because inmates were getting pregnant from other inmates.

I would say this isn't the solution because there are no easy solutions in incarceration.

No humane ones anyway....

lol, is this AI?

That's a good enough explanation on a surface level, and I appreciate your effort a lot. Thank you!

But he has so many daily routines dedicated to recovery & reflection. Relearning to control one of his hands, physical therapy, speech practice, et cetera.

So idk… might be some other explanation….
