“Excuses excuses excuses...”

Maybe that’s true for some guys, but I think people take for granted that everyone has the same EQ or is otherwise at the same baseline. The truth is that a significant percentage of us are somewhere on the autism spectrum and therefore innately have a harder time reading verbal and nonverbal cues. I would argue that…

You’re grasping at straws. They weren’t intended to be comedic—I know the difference. That would be like showing someone slipping on a banana when they’re trying to tell you they have cancer. Or is that what Japanese people do, and I just never realized?

There’s definitely fan service that’s meant to be laughed at, but there’s also definitely “male gaze” fan service. I’ve seen it in supposedly more mature titles like Your Name and A Silent Voice, and it always strikes me as awkward and gratuitous.

Want.

I was gonna say something similar (about the nose), but thought I should mention that Japanese men’s beards can get quite burly.

Is it a generally-accepted thing to assume that any such accusation from anyone at all is 100% true? I believe in taking them 100% seriously, but not necessarily 100% true. Innocent until proven guilty and all that: the American way. And if it was true, I would expect it to be a pattern of behavior leading to more…

I just hope it doesn’t stir up tensions in Korea, considering that subjugated Koreans fought alongside the Mongols.

This thing becomes utterly disturbing when you realize that the tail is the front-side, not the back-side.

I take it you’ve never met a man before...? Generally speaking, men get quite enthusiastic about the concept of physical domination, and guns are an easy shortcut for that. It’s easy to see how a “normal” guy could be seduced by the cult of the gun.

I don’t understand why they even bothered with the “live-action remake” approach.

Your reason for cynicism is pretty pedestrian compared to others’ reasons for being cynical, yet you think your opinion matters more. Sounds familiar somehow...

The protests stop when it starts to seem like they’re producing results, like some kind of national action to train police officers on de-escalation, or to hire better police officers by funding police departments better.

The point is that because the military sends teenagers to their deaths in far away lands like Vietnam and Afghanistan to defend America (?), you should just shut your liberal mouth and salute the flag like a good American who respects the sacrifices of said teenagers to uphold the the American way of respecting the…

I feel bad for you. I would probably be reprimanded for being openly political in the workplace, but I certainly wouldn’t be fired for having political views that someone else might oppose. Especially since I’m doing a good job helping to make the company money—as any of the drivers and crews are.

I’m not a Nascar fan by any stretch, I just love my country.

pwrshft is obviously a white male and doesn’t care about others’ problems, and so I imagine he thinks the country is already doing just fine, and if anything it was doing better before that darned Obama ruined the country.

Absolutely—the hilarious and sad thing about conservatives is that although they bray and moan about people being less American than them, they’re the ones that understand American history the least. If it were 1776, people like Richard Petty would be Loyalists bemoaning the inconvenience and violence that the…
