We’re fully exploring the limits of the politics of language when it comes to effecting actual changes these days. I worried at the direction activism took after Web 2.0 and hoped I was just being old and paranoid. But when people just want to feel superior to each other what can you do

Thanks! I noticed (what for me was) a decline in sub quality around the same time Funimation took them over. I was not a fan of hard to read colors being experimented with later, and before, they were excellently timed even with minimal words on screen. But anything is better than missing content 😭

Lovely! I hope things work out! (Also that was a very polite stare about the advice)

Next you’ll be trying to trying to treat your papercuts with a bandaid. You’re practically doomed!

I haven’t and won’t return my Medicare survey because I have no idea how the data will be cooked or used by our beloved elected profiteers and entertainers 🤷

Any dime for Trevor project is a win. Others have done all the moralizing already so I had a dark chuckle and called it good

I was so sad when they dropped that for Gintama. In later seasons I have to wonder how much of Sorachi’s corvid humor the loc paves over. Another example is Funimation’s loc paving over the awesome wordplay in Noragami, which was spectacularly explained in endnotes in the manga

Love how market practices repeat with some fresh new spin when the only thing that has been proven to correct it (for the companies too!) is valuing human labor. Especially when it comes to art. Ugh.
