Just FYI, “Age of consent in Japan is very low at 13” is a “fact” that you see often parroted around libertarian circles online but isn’t the whole truth.  While that is the minimum nationally mandated age of consent, every prefecture has their own laws that define their own age of consent; in practice, the minimum is…

“Foreigner” doesn’t have a negative connotation in Japan, you dumbass. Good job being an ignorant racist yourself while trying to call other people out for racism. Absolute clown, lol.

Go where I want, when I want , for as long as I want. Granted, this applied more to when I was single, but still..

Turns into a panda? That’s easy: just keep a supply of hot water around.

Run, Shadowfax. Show us the meaning of paste

As best as I can tell, given that I’ve never been a Japanese student and never seen the content of their history books, it’s about the same as any other country to an umpteenth degree. That is, history is a tool for patriotism and nationalism, and it is manipulated in such a way to paint the country as mostly the good…

Your angry post weirdly assumes that today is exactly the same as 30 years ago. It assumes nothing has changed. It assumes nothing was learned. And it weirdly assumes that something was “fine,” when what was being looked for was “better.” It makes that assumption so many people make when it comes to the environment -…

A white supremacist? Online playing video games...? That tracks...

Always makes me think of this:

Mischief Makers offered the D-pad as an alternate control option and it was superior (in fact, it was impossible to get 100% completion with only the control stick).

Can’t wait for The Gamers™ to start bitching about a black girl being in their norse-themed game. 

I’m sure they’re still undercounting the previously infected at 20% based on the type of person who would actually donate blood (i.e. probably more sensible, non-anti-medical-community people), but even if the real figure was double, I’m kind of shocked only around 40% of Americans have been infected.

Yeah it’s such a shame that they don’t try to copycat the latest crazes like every other game developer on Earth already does.

I exaggerate, of course — I always do — but I’m sure they exist. You have a lot of people now who are around 20-30 who’ve never seen a movie made before the 1990s that wasn’t Star Wars, and believe pretty much anything on the Internet if it fits their biases. They aren’t interested in the actual history of Star Wars…

My computer disagrees.

Microsoft, the corporation, is considered ‘liberal’? Or are you suggesting that whoever crafted this list was liberal?

Guys, we get it, Facebook bad.

I personally feel like once you’re making multiverses a core part of your continuity, your lore has gotten beyond approachable. I’m good with a few dips into alternate worlds but shit like the alternate worlds and canons of the DC and Marvel comics are what’s made them intimidating to a lot of normal readers looking…
