Seriously. Harassment isn’t the answer but the initial announcement of the EGS exclusivity was soooo bad. So bad that just reading it, I knew they were about to get pummeled worse than the other EGS exclusives.

On the one hand, irrespective of someone’s politics, I would like an explanation for why my panel was cancelled - to know what the infraction was, and to have an opportunity to correct it.

Not gonna lie, I lost it at “becoming a rapper”. Live the dream Granny Q.

Your Highness Qiaobiluo ended up getting an outpouring of support after the incident, racking up well over half a million followers and becoming the most-searched streamer on DouYu.

Your time will come again.

Phew, glad I didn’t have to be the one to be a pedantic asshole today.

He may be well hydrated but there’s a lot of girls and guys suffering from some serious thirst as a result.

Unsurprisingly the top comment and general theme here is “censorship: bad,” rather than “empathy: good.”

It's not just the existence of fire. The point of the series is that people are being burned alive by demons. They can't exactly go in and edited out people burning to death from arsonist fire demons, but changing the color is easy to do while still keeping the show on relative schedule. 

Make it sneaky enough to get past the censors: “Hundred Acre Wood Squadron.”

This is almost certainly the case.  When you’re dealing with a company that is at least partially owned by the governing body of a nation whose leadership rejects objective reality to such a degree that they punish people for talking about/displaying it, you end up with Winnie the Fucking Pooh.

To compensate, he should get a Winnie the Pooh patch. 

I know you gotta say “speculate” for...reasons, but I would bet everything I own that that’s why. Either because the Chinese demanded it or Paramount is being preemptive and trying to keep things uncomplicated with them.

You don’t understand my point then. As I explicitly pointed out to start, the tragedy of loss of life has no gender, obviously. Young, old, male, female, talented artist or homeless and unemployed, the deaths of 34 people are equally tragic from the perspective of a loss of human life.

He didn’t say the attack was about gender discrimination. He said that as tragic as this already was, it’s even more tragic that the studio was one of the few dedicated to gender equality, and that many of the lost lives were likely to be future female leaders in the Japanese animation industry.

The building has already been declared as being fully up to code (Japan’s bad fire codes are a different discussion), and the death threats were taken seriously and reported to police, although nothing appears to have been done about them.

The death of anybody is obviously a tragedy, but the fact that Kyoto Animation was the rare studio that aggressively hires women, pays well, and promotes them to leadership positions means the deaths of 34 members of it’s elite Studio One team is losing some of the top up and coming future female anime directors, lead…

But mental health is totally not a problem worth addressing in Japan, nope, definitely not.
