That, uh... doesn't sound like a smart thing for a "legal officer" to be publicizing.

Do you expect there to be any meaningful consequences for such an admission? They gloat because they hold power.

Anyone with even cursory knowledge of HR knows that this has always been the primary function of such departments. They are modern day marxist commissars tasked with ensuring the ideological purity of the office by selectively and ruthlessly enforcing vague and nebulous rules against those employees deemed problematic by other leftist employees.

Some advice: always be the first one to email your HR department about any potential issues in the work place. Immediately cite hostile work environment and harassment. Get that shit in writing, do it before they can do the same to you, and make your litigious potential known. Taking the initiative and being aggressive might net you millions of dollars.

So, there is studies on Assholes. They aren't called that, but you ask any actual academic and they will know papers. I small time studied mass shooters and terrorists so I knew some stuff. The term means anyone willing to break the rules for their advantage. Shooters are way higher up than the guy who cut you off.

This guy is breaking the social rules to get an advantage to what he wants. He is an asshole. Of course he's a lawyer so he was one anyway...

Interesting. That sounds like a pretty good definition actually.

Yeah. The term is a reference from Red Dwarf. The episode where they meet Krysten and Lister describes how to refer to Rimmer when being polite.

There are rules about these types of people as well.

  • It doesn't matter what you do, there will be someone trying to take advantage of it.
  • If you more need to get out of a bad situation, the more the use of assholes become useful.
  • Any organization dedicated to stopping assholes, will be full of them.
  • If someone says we need to stop these assholes, they are hiding their own asshole tendencies.

You pay for that? Secondly, who determines who is an asshole? You kind of sound like an asshole. You know nothing about gamergate or you know everything, either way I don't like you. I am going to presume everything opposite to the sensibilities of a man who wants to trans kids is highly beneficial.

I read that whole thing in a pissy little lisp.

What an odd thing to just outright admit to, willingly, let alone accidentally say in casual conversation. I knew they were dumb, but to be that dumb... are you kidding me?

"We exist to get rid of you"

And you expect to be taken seriously in the future?

It is a little odd. I wonder what the tipping point is where these people just decide to press the nuclear button. It always seemingly comes out of nowhere and ends the same way every single time. Like, literally never in their favor, but they keep doing it.

It really is strange. Maybe someone should study it.

To me it just screams desperation. Like their conscience is able to squeak out for a tiny second before they reprimand themselves for having unapproved thoughts.

The irony of him saying to "spend it on anime porn" is you could walk not even a few feet into Pixiv and easily find PokéPorn for every fetish under the sun. It's so grossly abundant.

That's what always gets me about puritans in M&A.

They don't know the bedrock upon which they build their citadels is made of dried cum.

Dragon Maid author? Used to do loli doujins.

Legendary ladies from CLAMP? Used to do Saint Seiya and JoJo gay doujins.

Girls' Last Tour? Before that the author made "Flan wants to die" doujin about a touhou character.

I'm just scrapping the tip of the cumberg here.

Chances are if a mangaka made it big, he made it first by drawing tits and dicks of already established characters.

Considering the lack of needing to strongly develop characters, it's a fast and easier way to cultivate manga drawing skills.

Dragon Maid author? Used to do loli doujins.

And every single series he makes has a young boy (or "adult man" in the body of a young boy) getting groomed or fucking with an adult woman with giant tits. Its his entire gimmick across nearly every piece he puts out.

Ironically by focusing on the 1 time he does something loli as the problem and not the 9 times he does shota, everyone is admitting that it only matters when it happens to girls.

God, that explains that crap with Shota.

Including that the character was named Shota.

I swear, in the coming years, we're going to learn some sad, creepy shit about the guy behind Jobless Reincarnation, too...

He literally has a still in production series where his self insert (a 20 something college boy with the body of a 9 year old) has a giant titty GF to give him titjobs in every chapter.

Its literally called Chichichichichi aka Boobs boobs boobs boobs. The Shota character is the tame version of that.

Are we talking about the Dragon Maid author or the Jobless Reincarnation author?

Because I've never heard of this, but I won't be surprised by either one.

Seriously, Jobless Reincarnation (Mushoku Tensei) was so, so good...and yet I cannot recommend it to people, because of all the overtones. Same thing with Bakemonogatari and its related series, which I also enjoyed.

(EDIT: It's the Dragon Maid guy.)

– Adamrises 1 point 2 years ago +1 / -0

Dragon Maid, I don't know anything about the Jobless series or guy. Here it is for proof. He puts the same dynamic in most of his works as well.

Also that's the way I feel about Made in Abyss. The concept, art, and villains/creatures are just phenomenal. I truly just want to get lost in exploring the background elements and pages of landscapes of it. The artist is legit one of the best in the market on pure talent.

But then you get to the main characters and what they get into and the obvious problem arises. Makes it hard to enjoy and even harder to recommend to anyone.

Yes, but how many get creepy scenes where they're manipulated by big-breasted women while looking scared out of their gourds?

It's why I didn't like Dragon Maid. Changing dub lines was just icing on the cake.

Known only as Nanashi (774), his old work can still be found online if you know where to look.

Surely someone who thinks like that must want a separate space to exist where all these assholes they don't like can congregate to do their own thing, away from the decent spaces where good upstanding adults spend their leisure time... right?

No, they actually can't stand anything that hasn't been sanitized for corporate commodification because the very existence of such things shines a light on just how shallow and hollow their products are.

A handful of the characters are serviceable, but with a granny rapper, male characters designed to confuse people (Geeta, Grusha and Rika), a toddler-sized Elite Four member claiming to be 9, various hairstyles and appearances that put the craziness of SwSh to shame (especially the Team Star Squad bosses), it's a whole lot of NOPE.The series is probably fully compromised at this point.
