No, I identified the incarnation that made it globally famous. As others have noted, it started out as a manga and then grew out from there, but the 1995 movie is the most famous growth.

It’s a globally famous cartoon (disrespect intended).

Pretty sure that furries developed out of straight nerd culture and puppy play developed out of gay leather culture. I’m sure there’s overlap, but I wouldn’t assume that someone who’s into puppy play is also a furry.

He doesn’t even look that good? Like, it would make me sad if chubby guys were sitting around wishing they looked like that.

I thought Menzies line delivery of “but you’ll do” was sinister and chilling enough. I couldn’t believe when they cut back to actually showing it. I turned it off at that point and did not finish so have no opinion if it was justified as a plot point.

I’m not trying to determine if he knows any victims personally (although I seriously doubt he doesn’t), just saying that if he did there are sensible reasons for him to not discuss that with the press or the police.

It is a great injustice that we are all not perfectly understood 100% of the time.

Not that much? I think his statement is in response to people demanding to know why he hasn’t gone to the police and he’s making it clear that he has no evidence to offer them. If what he knows (that isn’t from a published source) is what friends have told him and they don’t want to go to the police, I think most…

That was a weird post. I couldn’t stop laughing at the optimism necessary to imagine a future with Rob Kardashian as any form of winning.

Well, if you’re not going to read it I’ll just post something for anyone else who happens to follow along.

Seriously, what the fuck would you be losing by explicitly claiming you thought it was rude of her to say “it was pretty obvious”? I mean, if that’s what you really think and that’s what you intended to convey, then why are you flinching from just saying “yes, you understood me correctly, I think it’s rude”? Your…

I think we need to stop slandering “jokes” by including “pranks” as a subset of them. The core entertainment is sadism and discomfort. Treat it like bdsm. Only done between consenting parties.

A great way to remain ignorant is to treat people who are trying to get you to see something in a different way as if they are actually trying to trick you or troll you. (Socrates: The World’s First Troll!) At a certain point, when you’re constantly erecting barriers to understanding to keep your ignorance untouched,…

Well it isn’t obvious to me that you’ve explained yourself, and I consider your declaration that you have successfully explained yourself to be unfair.

She didn’t say she thought it was pretty obvious. She declared that it was. That was what I found unfair.

I was arguing that it is not fair to say that to a reader to whom it wasn’t obvious and has already said so

Frequently I will not write the first thing that comes to mind because I’m afraid the way I’ve phrased it will come across as sarcastic when not intended, so I try to rephrase it in a more neutral way. But I don’t think that’s going to be a problem here, so... maybe you’d be better at spotting sarcasm if you accepted…

Again, not sure what you are arguing. You said you weren’t asking for it to be made explicit but now, if I’m understanding you correctly, which I’m not at all sure I am, you seem to be saying it’s not fair to assume readers will get it until after she engages them and makes it explicit.

I’d agree it’s not realistic to expect 100% of readers to get it, but I’m not seeing what’s unfair about that. I’m not even sure what you’re arguing here. You acknowledge that misunderstanding things is a common thing for humans to do but you think it is unfair for a writer to correct someone who has misunderstood…

At a GA show, “elbow to the kidney” is arguably more useful than steel toed boots.
