· Mar 14
updated intro post, which doubles as a "why your friends should follow me" post--now with alt text!
hey everyone, I'm Nate--I talk a lot about movies, comics from around the world, and the joy of (consensual) fighting
when I say I'm a real-life retired shonen hero, I'm not joking

Every crazy successful AAA concept artist I know is a Pervert
saw an artist knock out that frieren angle meme like it was nothing bc they were so used to drawing it in nsfw fanart, proving that once again, obsessively drawing nsfw of your favorite ships will make you improve leaps and bounds as an artist 😂

European christian missionaries demonized Eastern religions and gods, but Chinese also returned the favor.
Christian invaders n' convert slaves ("worshippers of the pig") depicted as goat hog beastmen struck down by Buddhist thunder god Lei Gong. Daoist Immortal destroys with stroke of the brush.

Transcription of Caption [cr24] for Picture 27 [cr23]:
PICTURE XXVII.
TRANSLATION.
Top:—The God of Thunder Destroying the Pig and Goats. Right:—With one angry clap of thunder from the court of heaven the torpid insects are excited and the spring returns.
Left:—The wandering ghosts of the ugly crowd are gathered into hell. The term of life allotted to the goats and pigs is exhausted. From all within the four seas (China) the monsters have been driven out.
NOTE.
The goat is marked Ta Si Great West, and the pigs are marked Ye-Su Jesus, and Kiau-T’u Disciple. The God of Thunder is represented as actively engaged in exterminating the foreigner generally, and all Christians whether they be Missionaries or converts. The Missionaries say that the God of Thunder is a myth, and that thunder is a natural phenomenon. He is greatly incensed at this, and determined to have his revenge. “You christians are against the God of Thunder, and the God of Thunder is against you—which, think you, will get the best of it?” that seems to be the moral of this Cartoon.

Transcription of Caption [cr20] for Picture 29 [cr19]:
PICTURE XXIX.
TRANSLATION.
Top:—The Iron Pencil Sweeping away Heresy.
Right:—The priests of Tau are endowed with supernatural faculties. Please look at this cloud. How deftly does he sprinkle the vermillion drops from the tip of his pencil.
Left:—This hero, 漢子, is able, single handed, to exterminate the devilish monsters. All under heaven are informed that a great feast of a thousand dishes is about to be spread.
NOTE.
Here we have a Tauist priest exterminating the Christians by means of his magic art. Reading from the top, the animals are marked Teacher, Jesus, Disciple, Converts. In the text we have the characters Han-Tsze, 漢子, hero.
The hero is probably no other than Chou Han, who appears here in the character of a Tauist priest. The pigs and goats are to be slaughtered and out of their flesh a great feast is to be provided for the entertainment of all China.

For me it's the way the press pool just quietly went along with it because he's the president
The entire point of this country is that we don't have to let some guy do whatever he wants just because of his title. We don't have to respect him or go along with him just because he holds an office

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

when I was a kid my dad could have kicked my ass because he was an adult. now I could kick my dad’s ass because he’s old. but there was one day between then and now when we were exactly evenly matched. the father/son convergence

Props to vedinad, though I'll push back lightly against the screenshotted quote (which is not them, to be clear):
Even if the individual devs are experienced, it takes time for a new team to gel into a cohesive whole.
If The Highwaymen can have a debut album, new studios can have a debut game.

I didn't watch YYH as regularly as DBZ/GT while I lived in Japan, mostly because it was a lot of the series' second half--the end of the tournament, Chapter Black, and the wild final arc
but man, I love this OP (not the English one as much, but that's to be expected)
