Live action “X” isn’t for the fans. It’s because adults in the west are more likely to watch something that isn’t animation.

M’baku would totally do it.. but he wouldn’t have the audience support. Nobody from the Dora Milage would dare try it; they’re too loyal to the throne.

As many times as it takes to inconvenience rich people. When most of the rest of us are dead, in other words.

“We do what we must, because, we can.”

Just wait until they make one that’s also a fully functional R2D2. How many will say fuck privacy, I’ve got Artoo rolling around my house.

I fucking LOVE Candy Corn, in all it’s variants. I’m one of those wierdos that buys Jelly Belly Gourmet Candy Corn lol.

Probably the truth.

At this point, I kinda expect this game to be a Cyberpunk level disaster at launch.

That’s actually a pretty easy line to draw.

Same here. Sexuality and attraction *are* controlled by your brain. Most people are attracted to the opposite sex, in their age range. Gay/Lesbian (like me) are attracted to the same sex. Some are both, neither, etc.

It’s like visiting the grave of a beloved friend to try remembering the good times. 

“from my experiences online along with never having met more than a handful of casual anime fans”

I am aware. But there are people who lump every character under 18 in the same group.

No, because that’s a generalization. That’s like saying all Trekkies are snobs because a vocal minority constantly shit on the newest stuff, Star Wars fans are misogynistic assholes because of what some said about Daisy Ridley and Kelly Marie Tran, Rick and Morty fans are jerks about Szechuan sauce, etc.

Which puts it in line with every other form of entertainment that exists lol. You have to wade through a sea of crap to find the good stuff.

Not that I’m aware of. What I’m saying is, they’re trying to say “normal for anime” is illegal, which is insane.

A lot of anime has characters that are mid to high school aged and are sexualized. Even if they often aren’t drawn in a way that would make anybody think “loli”.

This has to be the legal equivalent of a temper tantrum.

It is. Progress is slow; things we take for granted would have been unthinkable when our parents were our age. And our children will do the same, by and large.
