Now this woman is a true World Warrior.

Ditto. I acknowledge that as a 37-year-old, I absolutely have a fondness for anime from the 80s/90s era, but there is something so (literally) handcrafted about the art that gets me every time I see it (these days usually as part of a MV during karaoke). The “flatter” feel of newer animation makes it feel sterile to…

Japan is deeply rooted in a very strict form of social hierarchy. The individual has to adher and conform to the opinion of the group. This naturally also extends to manga art

During Munday’s sentencing, his defence lawyer said “He’s a loving, caring person with no history of domestic violence... who unfortunately on this day just slapped his partner.” The lawyer’s use of the word “just”, and his pleas for a more lenient sentence, drew what the ABC describe as a “sharp rebuke” from the…

For all the trolls here: he beat her off camera, recorded, in front of his children while his wife was pregnant. That’s an extreme behavior for a first time offense. I don’t mean first time caught legally, I mean first time beating his wife. There is a level of escalation that a person goes through before taking that…

Also worth noting: the woman in this situation was pregnant.

Whatever the problems between the adult partners (and, again, he should’ve called the police if she was throwing things at him—and he should’ve acted to get their two present children out of harm’s way), the unborn child neither instigated nor deserved the…

That’s no fucking excuse for hitting a woman

Funny how you’re justifying domestic violence with “she started it.”

If she was throwing heavy/potentially damaging objects at him, then he should’ve called the police and gotten his children out of there. Reacting to someone chucking shit (assuming she was) with violence only escalates the situation.

Or did your…

Fuck off

If you raise your hand to your partner (absent a credible/believable threat of imminent deadly or maiming force issuing from them first, anyway), you’re a piece of shit.

Full fucking stop.

I try to be understanding and open-minded on most things; life is complicated, and the world vast—there are many paths through it…

“Please be lenient, I only assaulted a pregnant woman once!”

DONT HIT YOUR WOMAN, FOR FUCK’S SAKE.

She looks like she’s 12. 

I will never not hate this animation style, maybe it is all the rage among youths these days but to my eyes it never looks good. It never looked interesting. It always looks bland and generic. 

Doesn’t look like GitS at all, especially the design of the Major.

Am I the only one who thinks she looks too “girlish” to be the Major? She looks like a teenager.

yikes

Well, crap: I was hyped to see this opening weekend but forgot all about this crap.

I'm happy to see that incels are finally classified as extremists. About time!

How Muilenburg still has his job is beyond me. Even from a purely financial standpoint this has been a massive disaster for the company and shareholders, and then you layer on the moral failures and human lives lost and his head should have been on the block months ago.
