Imagine you write a story. And some faggot activists come along and say. ."What you say about your own story is wrong, im going to rewrite your own story for you".

The audacity of these people.

No need to imagine, they're very insistent about doing it to One Piece too. And not just activists but the official dubs themselves, too.

The problem with Yamato is that in one of the last chapters of the Wano arc, when they're celebrating the victory, they go to an onsen that has a clear separation between the male and female areas, and Yamato chooses to go in the male side "because that's what she is". It's good to see that Oda clearly stated in other medium that she's a woman, but why the hell did he draw that bath scene with that justification, then?

It's entirely his fault that there's a debate about this character at all.

In his defense, I doubt Oda is up to date with the Western gender insanity of Current Year+8 and just thought it'd be a funny/in-character thing to do.

Leftists like to pretend there's sny kind of cultural or historical connection between Japanese gender bending cartoons and American child abusers to legitimize their beliefs.

Why is 2015 the date used for Current Year?

Raging Golden Eagle always uses a sliding timescale for the term. 2020, for instance, would be Current Year Minus 3 as of this writing.

I think it was because Trudeau got the meme going by infamously proclaiming 'Because it's 2015' when asked why he insisted on having a 50:50 male:female balance in his cabinet.

Yes, that's it.

He made smug gestures as he proclaimed it. The WEF dictates or vet all his policies anyway, so the ministers are just window dressing.

Rouler: Qu'une plainte...

J'ai vers 50 ans, et je te jure qu'avant j'ai adore le Canada. Les gens comme Elizabeth Manley, Ben Johnson, Guy LaFleur, Ken dryden (etc, mais le liste est grand) etaients mes heros. En vrai, et sans ironie. J'ai meme appris le francais a l'age de 35 pour profiter de "l'autre" cote de mon pays magnifique. Je pense, vraiment, que le Canada des annees 80 etait le meilleur pays du monde,

Et maintenant: je vis au Cambodge, et je vais retourner au Canada qu'une fois pour regler mes finances, et pour voir my parents une derniere fois avant qu'ils mourrissent.

Je ne sais pas quel age t'as (et c'est pas mes oignons non-plus), mais j'espere que tes parents et grand-parents te racontent la gloire qu'etait le Canada. Et ne croit jamais les sales mensonges de la presse qui dit qu'on a mal-traite les autochtons ou les peau-noirs. Moi meme, je suis un 'homme de couleur', et je peux te jurer, sur la vie de mon pere, que je n'ai jamais vecu qu'un seul instant de "racisme" dans ma vie entiere.

Excuse-moi, je ne voulais que partager ma tristesse avec un autre Canadian.

It's the year that ugly Brit from some late-night talk show said, unironically, "It's 2015!" as some kind of mic-drop rebuttal for people resisting "progress."

Usually I've seen 2014 used in reference to Current Year (So technically it's Current year+9?), which was the year of Gamergate and when SJWs exploded onto the political scene, or at least rose to prominence. Everything's been noticeably downhill since.

2007 is the approximate start of the mass acceleration, but Current Year can be whatever year the poster wants it to be, since it's eternally September 2007 anyways. It was 3 years ago, it will be 2.5 years from now.

And what happened in September 2007?

I thought Eternal September was in 1993.

Certainly, the mass spread of smartphones, flooding the Internet with normies through easy access, is really where the shitball started rolling.

And yeah, every so often there is a year that shifts the Overton Window and resets the "new Normal"

Because Yamato is that dedicated to the Kozuki Oden LARP.

The anime tourists went as far as to call for arson against the Gundam staff. No wonder why there has been a big hullabaloo about Misskey and that Japanese artists are going there.

They...know what happened to Kyoto Animation, right?

Almost 40 people died?

That would require them actually having any level of care for the medium and its history, even recent history.

Death of the Author has been one of the worst creations of modern philosophy and art, and it is over a century old.

A friend of mine once relayed an anecdote about a story he'd written involving a guy getting magically turned into a girl, anatomy and all.

Magically. That's the operative word. Not hormones or surgery or whatever. Magic.

And then a tranny in his chat group got all hissy, saying it made him "not valid."

Went on and on and on about death-of-the-author.

"It doesn't matter what you meant. Only what the readers think matters."

And the thing is? A lot of the time that is true. Barbie is a currently famous example of "what you meant" being so incongruent with "what we got from it" that it basically has buried the original intent.

The issue being, when you try to wield your reading as a weapon to either change the work or present your view as the only possible reading. Something most people who consume product heavily of any kind are guilty of.

It would be nice if Death of the Author actually waited for the author to meet death, though. Oftentimes people are arguing directly at the author, proclaiming their work means something completely different to the author themselves.

"What I get out of this story as is relates to my life" is a very different statement than "This is what the author meant in this story", too. Objectively, in example, the Barbie movie is feminist dross. But subjectively, many audiences found the struggle of Ken to be important or symbolic in some way while to the author he had no value beyond being fanservice. Both these things can exist side by side. "The author meant to do this thing, but the portrayal, to me, showcases instead this other thing".

The Japanese have proved they can do storytelling involving gay relationships better than the people who put pride in their profiles and apply rainbows to everything since the Japanese THINK OF THEM AS PEOPLE FIRST!

great sketch, just saw it for the first time thanks to you. to think only 9 years ago comedy Central was relatively sane.

Shippers are literal cancer to any franchise they take root and metastasize in, and gay shippers are especially virulent. You only need to see what Fire Emblem turned into post-Awakening.

"Media Literacy" motherfuckers when it's one of their protected classes. Unsurprised they showed it was just another weapon to be used and discarded where convenient. It really is just "friend good, enemy bad" with the Pop-Left isn't it, how depressing.

The thing that really gets me is the hypocrisy this woke websites have, when it comes to promotion of homosexuals or anything they preceive to be on their side, suddenly its all about the consumer's right and may the author be damned. I fucking hate this people.
