This article is on point. As a straight male, I too find the gratuitous fan service off-putting and it makes it difficult to share anime with friends and family. However, when the show is about fan service and the plot justifies it, like Kill-la-Kill, it can be extremely enjoyable.

So, in a few words, you really didn’t read this.

anime is a sin

I have a dream, that one day, people on the Internet can disagree about things without resorting to murder threats and suicide requests.

“-we’re not asking animators in Japan to stop making anything. Were not asking people to ban anything. We’re not asking for any rules to be put in place.”

Amelia Cook obviously tried to make as clear as possible that she doesn’t think that the artists should be unable to freely express themselves or that anime has to change to accommodate her opinions. She only wants to express her opinion, which is shared by many others. What’s the harm in that?

I’m glad for this, and I’m glad that there’s a platform for this type of thought that isn’t obscure tumblr blogs. I especially appreciate that there’s a focus on bringing in Japanese people and people who have lived in Japan, which should be an interesting take on it.

My high school history teacher used to define integrity like this: If you pull up to a red light and no one else is there, do you wait for it to turn green or do you run the light?

Not the dark knighty?

10 minutes of people angry that the servers were down, 10 years in a box where a large angry man watches you poop. Sounds worth it.
