Yeah, until internet speeds are locked into a universally acceptable, affordable fast tier, and where it’s either off or on like electricity, the streaming future that people seem to like to fantasize about will never fully replace the bullshit we deal with in the now.

That’s the problem with being beholden to shareholders. They expect constant, consistent growth, and if that doesn’t happen, you’re failing, even if you make literal billions in profit.

 Jim Sterling did a video about this just yesterday. 

“Wealth and income inequality are not the result of us being unable to feed the poor. They are the result of us not being able to satisfy the rich.”

Oh look. A company has to cut fat, yet pay the top guy millions of dollars for this failure instead of sacking his ass.

That’s fair.

If I hear someone say, “I’m upset about this and here’s why”, I try to listen.

If I hear someone say, “Imagine how [entire demographic] feels [hypothetically] about this,” I’m like... Citation needed.

No, you end up with idiots like Logan Paul when parents don’t bother to teach their kids basic concepts like respect and empathy. That has nothing to do at all with “cultural appropriation.” Logan Paul is a douchebag in the U.S. too.

At what point does taking influences from other cultures become appropriation? The majority of Asia has been dominated by western influence for centuries. Is wearing western style clothes, artists modeling their sound after western music, or trying to emulate western movie making appropriation? Asia has a burgeoning…

True, but I think for every one Logan Paul there’s thousands of non-Japanese who generally love being there out of appreciation for the culture and people because of how great it seems when given exposure here. The reality of tourists is probably a little annoying at Shibuya, but everywhere else I’ve been - Sendai,…

I mean is it really our job to be outraged for the citizens of Japan when they seem to feel no outrage at this situation?

Uproar over cultural appropriation is BS 99% of the time. I think culture if too often conflated with ethnicity as well. It’s natural for culture to spread.

Xeno made it pretty clear that if the tournament didnt happen, he was probably gonna erase the universes anyway. Also Chi Chi isnt freaking out about Money. Goku got BANK for all that Money Mr. Satan got for “beating” Buu.

It’s likely because he kept looking for successors in the Cell and Buu sagas and stepped down from being the main hero multiple times during those sagas. But that was partially out of necessity (for Cell since Goku didn’t stand a chance against him) and because he was dead (for Buu). Now that he’s revived and the…

Goku from way, way back in Dragon Ball has -always- been about the fight. He and Ryu are the same in a lot of ways and towards the end of Super, he points out that he never sees himself or wants to be some hero of justice, that his driving force it to always become stronger and stronger.

eeeeh...

I wouldn’t say Goku is more selfish here than he is in Super, mostly because the movie doesn’t take itself that seriously, and the stakes are never higher than simply being a wrestling match for Goku and Broly. Unlike the the Tournament of Power, where literal galaxies on the line, and not only is Goku is…

For the love of God if you have a spark of love for DB go see Broly. It’s so goddamn good.

Well, the first web search I got for ahegao is an anime dude.

If you strike me down, I will become more powerful then you can possibly imagine.

Because it’s cheaper to just blanket ban badly than to actively moderate... or so they think till their user base largely vanished because it was the NSFW content probably keeping them afloat judging by how much of a negative vibe this ban has created.
